Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Auckland, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

Make sure you know the details of the roadside assistance included with your rental. This is crucial in case of breakdowns or accidents.

Before leaving the rental lot, check if the vehicle has essential emergency supplies, such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, consider rentals that guarantee the car type you want. This avoids surprises at pickup when you receive an alternative vehicle.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
