Car Hire in Auckland - Travel Guide

Auckland is a vibrant city located between the Waitemata and Maukau Harbours and is often referred as the ‘City of Sails’ due to the number of yachts that sail the beautiful harbours and waterways.

The city has a friendly small town atmosphere as well as a relaxed pace of life, with a unique blend of Maori and South Pacific Heritage. Auckland is the gateway for most holidays in New Zealand and the best way to see it all is with an Auckland Car Hire from DriveAway Holidays.

Auckland Sky Tower

Take a ride in your Auckland Car Hire to the Auckland Sky Tower, a 328 metre high tower located within city centre. The Sky Tower is the tallest man-made structure in New Zealand, offering stunning views of Auckland and its surrounds. It features a café, a revolving restaurant and a 360 degree pergola.

At the top there is the option of leaping off the tower in a thrill-seeking adventure of base-jumping. For those not up for that challenge there is also the skywalk adventure where you’ll step outside, 192 metres above ground level onto a 1.2 metre wide platform admiring the spectacular views of Auckland.

Auckland Zoo

The Auckland Zoo is another great attraction to visit whilst in Auckland which is easily accessible by car hire. The Zoo is located an easy 15 minutes from the city and is home to over 700 animals and 117 different species.

There are a range of activities to do throughout the day, and one of them is the Animal Encounters which allows you to get up close and personal to some of the zoos most cutest and interesting animals such as the Giraffe, Spider Monkey, Tortoise or the Organgutan. There is also the Junior Keeper Experience where kids have the opportunity to get behind the scenes as a zoo keeper.
