Having to drive long distances can be tiring and/or cause back pain, cramp in your legs, etc. So you

So if you are staying exotic car rental new york in one of the bigger cities in New Zealand that offer public transport such as busses and trains, you could do without renting a car in New Zealand. But this is under the assumption that you will be visiting and staying in one of those cities and not going anywhere else.
However, the biggest advantage is that it is much cheaper than renting a car . For example, a bus trip from Christchurch to Queenstown can cost anywhere between $50 and $100. If you rented a car, that amount would be just the cost of gasoline to get from Christchurch to Queenstown, and you have not even paid for the car itself and/or insurance yet.
The biggest disadvantage is that you are stuck to fixed routes and timetables . And generally on long routes like from Christchurch to Queenstown, there aren't busses driving that route throughout the entire exotic car rental new york day. So if you miss the last bus, which departs exotic car rental new york pretty early in the morning, you missed it; try catching another bus the next day.
The extra cost of gasoline The downside of renting a car is that it will not only cost money to actually hire the car, but also to fill the tank regularly. And I should exotic car rental new york disclose that gas prices have risen tremendously in the last couple of years here in New Zealand.
One example: If you are driving from Christchurch to Queenstown , you will probably have to refill the tank at least once before you reach your destination. If we take a medium-sized car like a Toyota Corolla, exotic car rental new york it could cost anywhere between $50 and $80 to fill the tank. So budget for such costs when planning your trip .
You will have to pay for any damages to the car While you can opt to include insurance when you rent a car, if you damage the car (whether it's your fault or not), the excess (the amount you would have to pay above what you already paid for insurance) is usually not zero dollars; you should be prepared to pay anything above $300 extra. Make sure you ask how much the excess is that you would have to pay before you sign on the dotted exotic car rental new york line(s).
You cannot drive everywhere in New Zealand You are not allowed to drive on all roads here in New Zealand. Roads that are considered to be narrow and dangerous, a couple of gravel roads, beaches, and unmarked roads are among those on the list of forbidden roads. Read the fine print on the contract you get from the car rental company well before you drive off; the forbidden roads should be listed on it. Because if you drive on a road that is prohibited and you damage the car, that will make your insurance exotic car rental new york void.
You need to be fit at all times to drive New Zealand's roads are not all long and straight. Often times you will be driving on winding roads that may rock you asleep or get you in trouble. You may also have to cross mountain passes like Lindis Pass , especially on the South Island exotic car rental new york of New Zealand.
Having to drive long distances can be tiring and/or cause back pain, cramp in your legs, etc. So you need to make sure that you take enough breaks during such long trips. As the driver, you must be fit to drive at all times. This includes not drinking and driving, as well as staying awake at the wheel.
You will have to drive on the left side of the road New Zealanders drive on the left side of the road. If you are not from the United exotic car rental new york Kingdom, Australia, or a few other countries where left-hand traffic is the norm, driving on the left side of the road may feel like a handicap to you.
It is not as scary as it sounds, exotic car rental new york though. And most rules that apply overseas, can also be applied in New Zealand. exotic car rental new york Just read up about driving in New Zealand before you come over, and you should be fine. And remember to stay left!
Most major car rental companies in New Zealand have 21 as the minimum age to rent a car. There are car rental companies that may let younger people exotic car rental new york rent cars, but not unless they have a valid full driver's license.
Also bear in mind that car rental companies may charge extra if you are younger than a certain age. This age depends on the car rental company, but the age is generally set around 25 years with some places having 30 years as their cutoff age for dropping surcharges.
Other restrictions apart from age may be the length of time you've had your driver's license. Some places may charge extra or may impose extra conditions if you've had your driver's license for less than 1 or 2 years.
Car rental companies generally do not charge your credit card when you make a reservation unless they have stated that there is a booking fee, a cancellation fee, or that you have to pay (part of) the rental charges up front. This varies from company to company.
If you are visiting New Zealand exotic car rental new york from overseas, it is always handy to carry an international driving permit just in case you are asked for it and definitely if your current driver's license does not have English text printed on it.
When I used to live outside of New Zealand and had a European driver's license, I used to always get an international driving permit before leaving for any English-speaking country exotic car rental new york including the U.S.A., Canada, and New Zealand. However, I was never asked to present it.
The best way to get an idea how much it would cost you to rent a car in New Zealand is to visit the websites of a couple of renowned car rental companies in New Zealand, enter details exotic car rental new york for the period for which you would like to rent a car, select the type of car you would like to rent, and whether exotic car rental new york you want any extras included, and then hit the Submit button.
This should exotic car rental new york give you a basic idea of the car rental cost. You can expect to pay anywhere from $50 (NZD) or higher per day to rent a car. Some car rental companies may go below that amount, but you need to be careful what you are getting yourself into when a deal sounds too good to be true .
Larger airports and cities in New Zealand tend to have a larger supply of cars. And during exotic car rental new york the off-peak season in New Zealand, more rental cars are expected to be available than during the peak season in New Zealand.
While New Zealand does not have clear-cut peak and off-peak seasons, since New Zealand is busy throughout the year, you can see the summer exotic car rental new york and winter exotic car rental new york seasons as the peak seasons, and late autumn and early spring as the off-peak seasons.
New Zealand is a relatively small country if you compare it to the U.S.A. or Canada, so the supply of rental cars will naturally be low. Therefore it is recommended to make a car reservation before you arrive in New Zealand.
For example, if you are flying to Christchurch airport , remember that you might be able to rent a car at a non-airport exotic car rental new york location in Christchurch. This means that you could catch the bus or a taxi to Christchurch city centre and pick up a car there.
If it does not occur to the car rental attendant you speak to at the airport to enquire whether there are any cars available at any of their other car rental branches that are not located at the airport, specifically ask whether they could enquire for you at their local city centre branch (if they have one) and check whether there are any cars available.
The airport is not the only place you can rent a car. And you can always try a different car rental company at the airport, especially at an airport like Christchurch airport, since there are several exotic car rental new york car rental companies at Christchurch airport or that will take you to their non-airport location.
Whether exotic car rental new york you rent a car or not in New Zealand is really up to you. You need to look at how much freedom of movement you want and whether you can afford the costs and responsibilities that go along with renting a car.
