Score a Sweet Auckland International Airport car rental for Lunar New Year

February in Auckland means long, golden evenings and the harbour glittering under a late summer sun. The city wakes up with vibrant lantern festivals and delicious street food stalls celebrating Lunar New Year. Securing your Auckland International Airport car rental early is a very smart move right now, as families fly in to enjoy the warm weather and coastal road trips before autumn arrives.

Ezi currently offers the best average rate across the board at $2702 for the two weeks, with Budget trailing closely behind them. If you want the absolute lowest price on the lot, Hertz holds the overall cheapest single vehicle at $1639, but you must book quickly because 10 vehicle classes are already completely sold out for this holiday peak.

Five-seater standard petrol cars dominate the available fleet, so securing a smaller hybrid or an electric vehicle requires some early planning. Grab a compact SUV with plenty of room for your luggage, avoid the afternoon rush out of the airport terminals, and get ready to drive north to the humid, lush forests of the Waitakere Ranges.
