An intermediate model is well suited to the winding roads of Picton, providing smooth cornering and traction. Compact makes offer the cheapest hire prices and fuel efficiency, ideal if you are considering a long road trip. Hills, such as those leading up to Picton Harbour Lookout, are steep and make automatic transmission cars more suitable, while also assisting with the varying speeds around coastal roads.
Stick to a maximum of 50 km/h in urban and residential areas of Picton, unless signage indicates differently. The default speed limit on State Hwy 1 towards Blenheim is 100 km/h.

Dec 2018
Cons:
New Zealand insurance terminology is very different from American terminology, so the true costs were almost double what we expected to pay. Kayak and Avis could have explained the differences.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
I was disappointed to pay more for an automatic. This seemed important for safety since I am used to shifting with the right.Some Picton car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Picton.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Picton car hire.
