New Zealand Rental Car - My First New Zealand Holiday.
As I planned my first visit to the stunningly beautiful country
of New Zealand, I knew that I wanted the freedom and flexibility
to visit everything from the Franz Josef Glacier on the South
Island to the vineyards in Hawkes Bay on the North Island.
Because I didn't want to waste a minute of my limited time
waiting for buses or being constrained by a tour group's
itinerary, I knew that I needed a New Zealand
rental car to fully enjoy all that the country had to
offer. What I quickly discovered was that the car rentals in New
Zealand are not only affordable and convenient; they are ideal
for exploring the vast array of sites on both of the country's
islands.
With a few keystrokes on my computer, I was able to reserve an
economical car rental in
New Zealand prior to departing on my journey. Because I
was flying into Auckland, the company offered to have a
representative pick me up at the airport to take me to the
rental car office. I was picked up curbside right on time in the
car that I was going to rent. I was amazed by the efficiency and
grateful that I wasn't going to have to transfer my bags from
one car to another at the office. The paperwork process was
equally as seamless, as I merely had to show my United States
driver's license, passport, and credit card. In less than one
hour after arriving in Auckland, I was handed the car keys and
on my way. With maps in hand and a full tank of gas in my late
model New
Zealand car rental, I was starting my independent
journey to experience all that the country had to offer.
My first destination was the thermal city of Rotorua, 234
kilometers (145 miles) from Auckland. I must admit that I was a
bit nervous the first few minutes of driving on the left side of
the road, but within a short time. I was navigating as
confidently as the locals. It certainly helped that the highways
and roads were well paved, mapped, and signed, and that the vast
majority of drivers were courteous and law-abiding. I was
thoroughly impressed with New Zealand so far and pleased that I
had chosen to drive myself rather than hop aboard a tour bus.
Along the way, I stopped in a small town for a quick rest and a
meal. I was really beginning to appreciate the freedom that my
href="http://www.rental-car-in-new-zealand.com">New
Zealand car hire was offering me. Unlike an organized
tour, I was able to stop, eat, and rest when I felt like it in
the locations that I chose. That first evening I picked up some
takeout fish and chips, settled into my modest motel room along
the highway, and charted on the map my route for the next
following days.
After a week of touring the North Island and thoroughly enjoying
my New
Zealand car rental holiday that had everything from farm
shows to wineries and museums, I was ready to tackle the rugged
splendor of the South Island. I had coordinated with the rental
car company to drive my car onto the Interislander ferry in the
capital city of Wellington. The rental car representatives
booked the ticket, and the entire process was amazingly easy.
Three hours after boarding, I had arrived on the South Island,
drove my car off the ship and began the next leg of my journey.
Driving the less traveled roads of the South Island, I journeyed
to national parks, explored the coasts, and even had some time
to enjoy the cosmopolitan cities of Christchurch and Dunedin. As
my memorable trip came to a close, I returned to the North
Island and headed back to Auckland to drop off the car and head
to the airport. The return procedure was quick, and the car hire New
Zealand representative kindly drove me back to the
airport.
My trip to New Zealand was the most memorable and wonderful
vacation that I have ever experienced. I had the freedom to
explore the country on my terms and time schedule. I was able to
see more than just the main tourist attractions and had the
pleasure of meeting many of the friendly and welcoming native
New Zealanders. I honestly don't know if I would have
appreciated as much of the unique culture, diversity, and
stunning beauty of the country if I had spent my days on a tour
bus. Thankfully, New Zealand is ideal for exploring by rental
car and perfect for those travelers looking for a little
adventure and a lot of fun. And, of course, I can hardly wait to
return to New Zealand for another road trip! ©
