I had an Avis hire care long term, hired in Auckland from Avis. The discounts available from adverts in the local papers were much greater than the large discounts agreed worldwide betweem my employer and Avis. The biggest pain in the bum was having to return every month to resign the agreement. It was not an unlimited miles agreement, it was limited to a high amount, but I always declared the full amount every month until I handed it back and they found out it had much fewer miles in practise. You cannot really do mega miles anyways as its such a small country.
I did use a few other companies but was never impressed.
Looking back I should have joined the Avis loyalty club.
New Zealand driving is quite different to here, for one they have no concept at all of braking distance and will always drive right up your bum, you have to get used to it, in that regard its pretty unsafe.
A lot of roads out of the towns are not laid with tarmac, just pebbles or whatever, so you need to become better at sort of rally driving technique.
There is a silly rule where sometimes someone turning across you path has right of way, so you need to be careful and know when to brake if some local insists on using this rule.
There are quite good "drive you home" services, where rather than getting a cab home after a night drinking you can get someone to come out and drive you home in your own car (they put a fold up motorcycle in the boot, and use it to get home after they have dropped you off and parked up your car)
Great place
