KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Greymouth

  • Booking a car hire in Greymouth is advantageous, especially for those wishing to tour the different destinations within and around the city. For example, when you wish to visit the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch from Greymouth, it would take about 4h 30min via train and bus; however, making the journey via car hire from Greymouth will only take around 2h 40min to complete the 245 km journey. Using a car hire in Greymouth will be faster than using any other form of public transport and will also ensure that you make the longer journeys in a shorter time and more comfortably, without having to make connections.
  • Greymouth Airport (GMN) services Greymouth city. The airfield does not have a car hire facility of its own; you will, therefore, be required to get to the city centre of Greymouth, where you will find several car hire companies to choose from. Greymouth's top car hire companies include Ace, Ezi Car Rental, Thrifty Car Rentals, Apex Car Hire, Europcar and Dollar Rent A Car. They all have a variety of cars from which you can choose your most suitable option for travelling within the city.
  • When driving in the Greymouth area, you are reminded to be vigilant and aware of the traffic rules. You are reminded to drive on the left side of the road. Those with car hire in Greymouth are urged to observe the traffic lights at all times; however, if a pedestrian is still crossing the road after the lights have turned green, be sure to give way to them first.
  • Driving in and around Greymouth city can get challenging at times. It gets worse whenever the roads experience a traffic snarl-up. Traffic on the road is usually intense between 06:30 to 08:00 during the morning hours and also between 17:30 and 19:00.
  • Book your car hire in Greymouth at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Greymouth?

    When travelling around Greymouth and its environs, using any car ranging from a mini to an economy and even a standard-sized car is advised, since the roads are narrow and winding due to the hilly terrain in the area. Additionally, a Greymouth car hire equipped with a built-in navigation system will come in handy when travelling to unfamiliar territories. Also, ensure that your car's heater and air conditioner are well functional and can be used to regulate the car's internal temperature in extreme weather conditions.

  • What’s the speed limit in Greymouth?

    When driving in the Greymouth area, you are reminded to be vigilant and aware of the traffic rules. These include information such as the speed limits when driving on the roads. The speed limit when driving your Greymouth car hire in and around the town centre is 30 km/h. This speed limit was adjusted from the previous limit of 50 km/h in August 2018. These adjustments are usually made to enhance road safety and reduce the possibility of accident occurrence. Drivers are, therefore, urged to stay aware of these limits and other traffic rules when driving. Obeying the set traffic rules keeps you safe and enhances the safety of the road users around you.

  • Where are the recommended places to park in Greymouth?

    There are various parking spaces within the CBD, including free and paid areas. If you have received a parking ticket from the Council, it is required that you pay it within 28 days. If you fail to pay within this period, the fine will be forwarded to the Department of Courts' Collections Unit. You will also be liable for court costs once your ticket has been lodged with them. This process can be carried out through the court's website.

The staff were really helpful both at pickup and drop off. Pickup was really busy as everyone arrived at the same time to collect their cars. The shuttle back to the airport was great.

The car was extremely clean upon pick up, and as described, or better. Unfortunately there was an issue with outdated information on Ace's pick up instructions in our pick up location. After some initial difficulty and being unable to get a hold of Ace rental in Greymouth, NZ, staff were very responsive to our difficulties and chased up the company, seemingly straight away, to confirm the correct pick up process.
