Auckland, New Zealand: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Auckland are: Ford Ka, Chevrolet Matiz, Kia Picanto, Hyundai Accent, Peugeot 207, Suzuki Swift and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in New Zealand vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in New Zealand are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Auckland, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to Auckland!

Driving Advices for New Zealand – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
In the city the maximum permitted speed is from 50 to 70 km/h, and on country roads it is 100 km/h. As a rule, roads are well-equipped in terms of the number of cars, so it will not be difficult to find out the maximum permitted level of speed on a particular road. Drivers should be very attentive in mountainous areas with their narrow and winding roads. It is not recommended to exceed the speed of 55 km/h on such roads.
The fine for exceeding the speed varies from 30 to 630 NZD, and its amount depends on the speed of the offender. For example, if the speed is exceeded by 10 km/h, the fine will be approximately 80 NZD. If the speed limit is exceeded by more than 50 km/h, in addition to a large fine the driver is likely to face the cancellation of the driving license and even imprisonment.
The absence of ambiguous road markings and signs will surely become a pleasant surprise for drivers. You will find it very easy to navigate on the roads of New Zealand. Tourists, who visit the country for the first time, are certainly recommended to buy a map of roads or install a car navigator. It will certainly make your journey more comfortable.

Sightseeing of Auckland, New Zealand
Even nature is unique here. The city will appeal to travelers who enjoy exploring natural sights and stroll in scenic places. It is hard to imagine that there are craters of 48 extinct volcanoes within the borders of the city. Moreover, the water area of Auckland has more than 50 picturesque islands. The water area of the city is also unique. As it was mentioned above, Auckland has access to bays of two seas. The city is situated on a small isthmus, the width of which is no more than 2 km at its narrowest place. To the north of the isthmus, from the Pacific Ocean side, there is the Bay of Waitemata. To the south of it, there is the Manukau Bay, which is connected with the Tasman Sea by a narrow strait.

It is natural that such a beneficial location makes Auckland a popular destination for fans of beach recreation. The choice of suitable coastal areas is simply amazing, and many beaches have become regular locations of colorful festivals. Treacherous weather is among the distinctive features of the city, and the unique geographical location of Auckland is the main reason for that. The weather changes literally every 10 minutes in the city. During one day, the sky can be overcast with dense clouds more than once, looking like the rain is about to start any minute, but a few minutes later the bright sun shines again.
