From caves to impressive rock formations and canyons, Waikato features some spectacular natural attractions. Why not take off and see a handful of them? Leave town and arrange some exciting day trips. A full-size SUV is suited to those longer rides. With the ability to manage any kind of terrain, these larger vehicles make it easy to detour from the beaten path.

Sometimes it’s all about the journey, which makes your car choice important. If you’re about to head off on an amazing road trip around Waikato, a comfortable SUV could be the ideal solution. If you’d like the best possible deal and plan to stick to city driving, an economy car is a wise pick. All you have to do is choose what’s the best fit, throw your bags in the trunk, and hit the highway.

In Waikato, motorists stick to the left side of the road. That means the driver’s seat is on the right-hand side. If you’ve rented a manual transmission car, you’ll need to get used to shifting gears with your left hand.

Usually, your rental car company will charge the amount fined to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may supply your contact details to the relevant local law enforcement agency so they can send a fine straight to you.
