Europcar in New Zealand

New Zealand is divided in two islands- the North Island and South Island and few places on earth can compete with New Zealand’s stunning landscapes and varied terrain (mountains, lakes and coast). The relatively modest size of New-Zealand (roughly 29 times smaller than Australia) means that it’s the ideal country to discover by car.

Europcar has 22 rental outlets conveniently located across the 2 islands. Some of our popular stations include Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown airports - picking up your car rental from here are great base points to start your adventure on the road. Whether you’re looking for a city car, a four-wheeled drive to tackle rough terrains, or something a little bigger, Europcar has both car and van rental options to complete your New Zealand experience.

Driving in New Zealand

New Zealand’s diverse terrain means roads are often narrow, steep and winding with lots of sharp corners.

Plan your journeys with care, taking into account longer distances, rural areas and weather conditions that could affect driving. Always check the weather before you set off, in particular during the winter season when driving becomes more difficult with snow and icy roads.

Be aware that New Zealand’s railroad crossings are not all automatic. Most will flash lights when a train is approaching, but some just include stop signs. When you see this, make sure to stop, check both directions, and only cross when you are sure it is safe.

The maximum speed limit on roads (including highways) is 100 km/h and 50 km/h in urban areas. In school zones the maximum speed limit is 40 km/h.

Explore Tongariro National Park

Experience some of the country’s most stunning landscapes at Tongariro National Park. This UNESCO cultural and natural World Heritage Site is the oldest national park in New Zealand and has active volcanoes. Discover it all when you pick up a car hire in New Zealand.
