Whangarei offers a mix of urban and rural driving experiences. If you plan to explore both city streets and remote areas, a compact or mid-sized car can be a suitable choice. It should provide enough comfort for longer drives, while still being easy to manoeuvre in urban areas. However, keep in mind that Whangarei's surroundings include rugged landscapes and off-the-beaten-path destinations. If you intend to venture into more remote areas, or encounter gravel or unpaved roads, an AWD or 4WD vehicle may be beneficial.
Within Whangarei and other built-up urban areas, the speed limit is generally 50 km/h (31 mph), unless otherwise signposted. On open roads, outside of Whangarei, the default speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph), unless otherwise indicated by signage. However, it's important to note that some open roads may have lower speed limits, especially in areas with challenging terrain, or other factors that warrant reduced speeds. Always be attentive to posted speed limit signs. Moreover, near schools or in specific areas, such as construction zones or high pedestrian traffic zones, speed limits may be reduced to ensure the safety of children and pedestrians.

Some Whangarei 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 Whangarei.
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 Whangarei car hire.
