To make sure you're able to pick up a car rental in Dunedin, you'll need to be aware of a couple of requirements you need to meet to leave the lot with your car rental. You'll need to be 21 and have held your license for at least 12 months. Your licence must be an international driving licence or a local licence. If your license isn't in English, get an International Driving Permit with an English translation. Keep your confirmation details on hand, as well as the credit card used to make the online booking and a passport for photo identification. Make sure the credit card holder is present.
To keep yourself and other drivers safe, it's important to understand the local driving laws. Keeping updated with the local department of motor vehicles is a good way to be aware of sudden changes in local driving laws. Stick to the left-hand side of the road in Dunedin and pass on the right-hand side. You and all of the passengers will need to wear a seatbelt at all times and using a mobile phone is forbidden unless there's a hands-free device. Drinking and driving is prohibited in Dunedin and if you're caught, you could face jail time. Rather use public transport if you're going drinking.
The roads in New Zealand, including Dunedin, are in good condition and relatively easy to navigate. Choosing the right economy car rental for yourself is up to your own needs. When hitting the road for a long road trip through the mountains, you'll want to opt for a 4X4 in case you run into snow. If you're planning on sticking to the city and heading around with fewer passengers, choose a smaller cheap car rental like a mini or compact model to enjoy better handling and fuel efficiency.
You'll usually have no trouble finding parking unless you're driving your rental car in Dunedin during peak hours. Paid parking in the city can be on the street, in a building, or in an open-air car park. There are also smart parking signs throughout the city with electronic signs signalling whether you can park your rental car there or not. When parking by a parking meter on the street, be sure to display your receipt clearly on the dashboard.
