We prefer to use this company, having done so for many years. It is a family run business which began from a small fleet to the size it is today, situated in both islands.
Although not one of the big Names in rental cars, we have no problem recommending McDonalds.
Their cars are never more than 2 yrs old, always in very good condition, and the price rates are always very good.
Not situated at the International Airport, they will make arrangements to meet you, so that is not a problem.
Within NZ the toll free number is: 0800 164 165 Leave a Comment

 City Circuit Free Bus by kiwi
This is a GREAT service that uses an environmentally friendly Electric bus to run a continuous 10 minute service around the central city.
8am - 6pm, 7 days.
This is an excellent service as walking up Queen Street can be a chore, especially if you have armsful of shopping, LOL.
It runs: Britomart > Queen St (Vulcan Lane) > Queen St (Whitcoulls) > University > AUT > Civic theatre (Queen St) > Skytower > Queen St City Life Hotel > Queen St (BNZ Tower) and then back to Britomart.
I found the drivers to be exceptionally friendly and efficient. Maybe that was because they weren't taking money and the passengers were more friendly :-) Leave a Comment

 Britomart Transport Centre by kiwi
The services are basic and need to build up and grow. Auckland has not had good rail services up until now, so we hope that will change in the future.
The architecture of the station itself is well worth the visit. Very attractive and interesting. See more photos here.

An excellent bus service connects Auckland airport to the city centre for 15NZ$ one way or 22ND$ return ticket.
The shuttle leaves the airport (and the city centre on the way back) every 15 minutes 24/7 and it is air-conditioned.
Absolutely recommended!
