New to driving in New Zealand? Here’s what you need to know!

Exploring New Zealand by car is one of the best ways to experience our beautiful country, from stunning coastlines to winding country roads. But before you hit the road, there are a few important things to remember:

Keep left – We drive on the left hand side of the road in New Zealand.
Know the road rules – Familiarise yourself with our speed limits, road signs and give way rules.
Allow extra travel time – Our roads can be narrow, winding and hilly, so journeys may take longer than expected.

When you're organising transport for 15 people, there's a lot to think about! We recently helped a customer arrange two Kia Carnivals for their group, and their lovely feedback made our day.

"The team at Shore Rentals were absolutely amazing. They were so patient with me, answered every single question properly, and always got back to me really quickly."

Whether you're hiring one car or organising transport for a larger group, we're always happy to answer your questions and help make the process as easy as possible. A big thank you to our customer for taking the time to share their experience! Planning a group trip? Get in touch with our friendly Takapuna team.

Sometimes you just need more seats and more space.
Our Kia Carnival seats up to 8, making it a handy option when you’ve got extra family visiting, a group heading away together, or simply more people than your everyday car can handle.
And with the school holidays in full swing, sometimes having one vehicle everyone can fit into makes life a whole lot easier.
Available from our Takapuna branch, and yes, it’s every bit as roomy as it looks!

Who would you fill all 8 seats with?

Longer spring evenings are here!

With more daylight after work, there’s time to squeeze a little more adventure into your day.

Take a drive to the beach, enjoy dinner somewhere new, find a coastal walk or pack a picnic and watch the sun go down. Sometimes the best outings don’t require a big plan—just a car and a few extra hours of daylight.
