Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Auckland?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Auckland. Compact or economy vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short commutes. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have more room and offer a more comfortable ride.
