Real reviews from people who rent Intermediate cars. Hope these reviews will help you.
What you need to know about traffic rules in New Zealand
New Zealand is definitely a paradise for road trips. The traffic is light, the road is good, and out of the window you can see the beautiful scenery of the north and south Islands. If you are coming to New Zealand for the first time, it is best to understand the New Zealand traffic rules before starting your road trip to avoid unnecessary violations.

Traffic rules
Keep left
Always drive on the left side of the road. Some narrow roads don't have centre line markings to guide you.
Pedestrians first
Drivers must watch for pedestrians crossing the road, particularly at pedestrian (or zebra) crossings and intersections.
Always slow down near cyclists. Pass slowly and only when safe, and try to leave a space of 1.5 metres.
If you see animals on the road, slow down and proceed carefully. Do not sound your horn.
Driving speeds
The speed limits on New Zealand roads vary - look for speed limit signs. You'll often need to go slower than the limit to drive on our roads safely. That means a 100km distance will seldom equal one hour of driving. It will usually take a lot longer, so always allow more time when planning your trip.
On many of New Zealand's main rural roads, the speed limit is 100km/h unless a sign says a different speed applies.
In urban areas, the speed limit is usually 50km/h unless a sign says otherwise.
Yellow advisory speed signs warn that you are coming up to a tight curve or bend in the road and recommend a safe and comfortable driving speed. The arrows show which direction the curve goes.
Fasten Seat Belt
By law, everyone in the vehicle must wear a seat belt or child restraint - whether they're in the front or back.
TIPS: Children under 7: Approved child safety seats restraint
Parking
In New Zealand, you can be fined or towed away for parking on the wrong side of the road, unless it is a one-way street, where you're allowed to park on either side of the road.
Stopping for police
If police require you to stop your vehicle they will drive behind you and activate red and blue lights and a siren. You must pull over as soon as possible. Park your car off to the side of the road safely and wait in it for the police officer to approach you.
Mobile phones
Drivers must not use a hand-held mobile phone when driving. If a phone is used it must be hands free. Texting on any mobile phone while driving is illegal.
Slow down
Although New Zealand has good roads, speed is the greatest killer on them. It is important to keep your speed close to the speed limit but NOT above it. You also need to slow down depending on the conditions. New Zealand can have severe whether conditions, and you simply must slow down to avoid a crash.
Stop sign
At a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop, then give way to all traffic.
Give Way Sign
At a give way sign, you must give way to all traffic on the intersecting road. If turning, you must also give way to vehicles that are not turning.
Roundabouts
At roundabouts, you must give way to traffic from your right. You must travel around the roundabout in a clockwise direction.
One-lane bridges
Some roads in New Zealand have one-lane bridges where vehicles must stop and wait for vehicles coming from the other direction. Stop if you need to give way. The red (smaller) arrow shows which direction has to give way.

We offer a range of car seat sizes to suit your child, from infants to school age. All of our car seats meet New Zealand/Australian Standard AS/NZ 1754.
Booster Seats
International best practice recommends the use of an appropriate child restraint (or booster seat) until your child either reaches 148 cm tall or turns 11 years old. We offer booster seats for older children to keep them safe and secure while travelling.
