How to Choose a Good Car Rental New Zealand

The versatile New Zealand is the best landscape traveled by car. There are many local car hire New Zealand, you must choose. Here's a short list of important factors that you should consider how to make your decision.

1. Finding a car that meets your needs. New Zealand rental car market offers a wide range of vehicles for hire. They begin to travel in small vehicles for 2 people, light vans and end with large groups. The names of the vehicle --Categories differ from one society to another. While browsing a website, the search for information from all parts of the vehicle. This will help you compare apples with apples. The information of the vehicle on most New Zealand Car Rental website, you have an idea of how many people ride in the car and also how much luggage you can customize, if you have lots of luggage, it is recommended that a larger car. Set your hopes of an update. How many cars in the car rental industryin New Zealand are imported from Japan, may not be familiar with the model of car. Find the word in places like Wikipedia, to find the name of similar models that you have in your country, too.

2. What is included in the price of the new room. To simplify the comparison of apples with apples, it must be what every company in its daily rate to check. Typically this will be indicated on the website, but it is also possible for a page of frequently asked questions or a general overviewTerms and Conditions page. Make sure the package includes a 24-hour day AA roadside assistance for your peace of mind during the trip.

3. What's not in the price. Pay attention to the fine print. You see, not what is contained in the daily rate for online booking page of search results. Search for airport fees, after hours of service fees, etc. We probably have the details of additional items that can be rented.

4. Insurance. Included in the daily rateusually a comprehensive liability insurance. Make sure you understand the terminology and understand what you are able, in case an unfortunate incident.

5. Collision Damage Waiver options. In the unlikely event, you must pass the student is required regardless of who is to pay the debt. When property insurance is not compulsory in New Zealand, it may take up to a complaint has been resolved. That is why many car rental companiesoffer their customers for the purchase of additional damage collision waiver, or CDW. Carefully read the options, as these vary from company to company.

6. They lay down in 21 years? Most of the car rental companies in New Zealand, 21 years as minimum age for renting a car. So if you are under the age of 21 years, it is important to make sure the car rental company is set, you can drive the car. You should also check whether there are any supplementsconnected.

7. Traveling with children. If you drive with children under the age of 7 years, they sit with proper child restraints, according to the New Zealand Transport Agency. Observe the child or the child is registered as an additional element, and hence may not be ready for you. Please check your car with a child seat that were assigned prior to your arrival.

8. Travel between the islands. AsIsland State ferries are an important vehicle for connecting the North and South Island. The gap between North and South Islands of New Zealand is one of the most beautiful areas in NZ - Cook Strait and the Marlborough Sounds. Travel between the islands is easy. All you need is a ferry between the islands on board, enjoy the beautiful scenery of one of the bridges and after 3 hours drive to stop the other side. Some rental companies have depots on both ends ofFerry (Wellington on North Island and Picton) Island in the South, which means that you leave the car at the store, take your luggage on the ferry and get another vehicle on the opposite side. From our experience, it is easier to take the car ferry to another island, as if the car on a side and then unpack pack for your new car and create a new contract. There are two companies that ferry services - Inter-Islander andBlue Bridge. It is advisable to book in advance of the crossing, and can also save money. You can make online reservations for themselves or a person authorized by the officials. Ask the team at the rental company for assistance.

9. Cancellation policy. If you're the kind of person who wants to have things so organized in advance, you need to know what the cancellation policies car rental. For some companies, online reservation, a deposit will be collected and others not.In both cases you need to know what will happen if you cancel your reservation prior to arrival and is also good to know what you will be charged in case of a no-show fee, or in case of change of pick-up time .

10. Other items for rent. This can not be taken as a very important factor in your decision, be aware that the value of a New Zealand car rental company offers you. These are in addition more flexibility and comfort, while onRoad.

Our New Zealand Adventure

On the map, only the appearance of a long, thin sea creatures floating in the South Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Australia. Kind of small I complained, but WOW, I was sure glad that I decided to take my friends there last summer (winter in the United States). If you're there, you realize that it is all over the place, almost exactly an ideal destination seems to have everything, and all within a surprisingly short drive away.

As a country rich in lakes and rivers, andBeaches around the world are literally transported into the world of water activities. Rafting, kayaking, river and sea fishing, swimming and surfing to name a few much. Oh, and if you have not bungee-jump in one of their crystal clear rivers, well, I let the hair-raising for the experience of discovering for themselves. Many water activities are too high scenic wilderness areas, many are right, up and down the country are sparse.

What I liked was how warm andrelaxed, the locals were. Every time we have ever asked questions, seemed genuinely interested in helping, and to recount the wonders of the place. European New Zealand Kiwi is called, for some reason (by name), after a flightless bird that comes only at night, and indigenous people are Maori. Apparently in pre-colonial times the Maori is used to eating people, but they seem a very friendly team now. In addition to the main cities, which were like small cities in Europe, the pace of lifewas really nice and slow.

Here are some of the most important things to do when you go to:


A boat trip around the great maze in the Marlborough Sounds
Fishing in Lake Taupo, a lake the size of Singapore
Mark the Heaphy track (especially if you are in exotic birds)
Making the Kawarau Bridge Bungy, jump starting above the green lake Kawarau
A visit to the garden city of Christchurch
See and smell,amazing volcanic activity around Rotorua
Drink great coffee and locally brewed beer in the country
(It seems that in winter, skiing in the world class ski resorts of Mount Hutt)

However, if you have the chance to go there just to pay attention to the fact that you can not go home. Oh, and to ensure that you have a car or camper. This country is sparsely populated, and is simply not the same without the freedom to go wherever you want. We have a great service Rent-a-Dent. Theythe country seemed to have held up quite well, actually, we could not believe that a couple of small towns that have seen his owner-operated stores in.
