Especially for drivers who are not used to driving on the left side of the road, a smaller compact car is recommended, as it makes maneuvering through the lanes and roads in Auckland easier. As road conditions are mostly good in and around Auckland, a 4-wheel drive car is only necessary if you want to venture out into the deeper nature of New Zealand, where country roads can turn into gravel paths.
The speed limits are given in kilometers per hour and in areas with pedestrian traffic, the maximum is 30 kph (18 mph). In residential areas, the maximum speed is between 40 and 50 kph (24-31 mph), 80 kph (50 mph) on country roads, and up to 110 kph (68 mph) on motorways. Despite these regulations, always check the posted signs and adhere to the given speed limit.
From on-street parking to parking garages, Auckland offers various parking opportunities for hire cars. On-street parking is usually metered, so make sure to check the time restrictions, if there are any, and pay the amount of money required. For parking on nights and weekends, opt for the Chancery Car Park, or choose a parking lot like the Downtown car park in Customs Street West, or the Victoria Street car park, both of which cost about $24 per day.

Pros:
Very new and clean car. Smooth administration. Just perfect.Cons:
At the drop-off we had to give the keys to a guy in the car park with a little thrifty sticker on his shirt. We did not get any confirmation that we gave the car back nor that is was still in perfect conditions. It felt a bit weird afterward that we had nothing in your hands to proof that we brought the car back without any damage.One location in Auckland

My flights were delayed so they gave my booked car away. They had no other car options either. Even though I entered all my contact information in while booking the car they said they had received no contact information through kayak. Very disappointing experience.10,0 Wonderful

Mar 2017
Pros:
The car was large enough for my needs.Cons:
The price given to me online was not the price I was charged for and when I called the 800 number, the customer service office was closed. I feel I was charged more money because I was in a rush to catch my flight- Poor business practice by Budget. When I picked up the car, the service representatives had me sign that the car was not damaged before even receiving the keys. I asked if there was damage, could I come back and fill out the form to reflect that, and they said "yes"... but the second I received my keys they shut the gates and left for the day. I asked why the price on the document they gave me was different than what I received online and they told me I'd only be charged the additional amount if I returned the car with less than a full tank of gas. The car was returned full and I was still charged more money than quoted online.5,2 Fair
Mar 2017
Pros:
Clean rideCons:
When other rental car companies quoted me it was an all inclusive cost, it wasn't clearly noted that the car was a manual and the price didn't include insurance. So when I actually picked up the car they gouged me on both of those and the quotes price was more than doubled. I had somewhere to be and didn't have much of a choice. Feel like they knew that and really took advantage with the price.10,0 Wonderful
