The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Rotorua are: Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Jeep Wrangler, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Suzuki Jimny, Toyota Landcruiser and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in New Zealand ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in New Zealand are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
It will also not be a problem to find a free parking space. As a rule, it possible to find only paid parking lots in the city downtown. The cost of one hour of their services is approximately 2 NZD. Free parking lots are usually located in remote areas.
Regardless of the fact whether it is a paid or a free parking lot, it certainly has a clearly defined limit of use. On free parking lots the limit can be from 15 minutes to 2 hours, and on paid parking lots the limit is usually at least an hour.
When leaving a car at a parking lot, do not forget to read its rules. These rules are usually described in detail on a special blue board that is installed at the entrance to the parking lot. If you do not leave the parking lot on time and do not make an additional payment, your car will be evacuated to the penalty parking, and you will have to pay a large fine.
