Driving Tips for Auckland
Once you rent a car in Auckland, you can hit the road. Follow these tips and tricks for a smooth driving experience:
- Keep Left: In New Zealand, you need to drive on the left side of the road. This may take some adjusting, but you’ll get used to it in no time.
- Toll Roads: Auckland is home to the Northern Gateway Toll Road, and there are a few more outside the city. Ask about our prepaid toll program to avoid the hassle of paying cash at tolls.
- Road Conditions: The roads in New Zealand are generally in good condition, but you may encounter some narrow and winding roads especially in rural areas.
- Roundabouts: Drive in a clockwise direction around roundabouts and be sure to signal when you’re exiting.
Keep these recommendations in mind and always stay alert and you’ll have a stress-free experience driving in Auckland.
