Dunedin Airport, an international airport, is situated in New Zealand. The number of passengers that use the airport has continued to increase each year. At this airport, you will enjoy the standard facilities including shopping facilities. The airport is served by different modes of transport. This includes shuttle vans or taxis. Train services and busses are not available at this airport. If your aim is to have flexibility and freedom when getting around to your destination, you need to hire a car.

When you arrive at Dunedin airport, you need to get to the pickup station to pick up the car hire. At the station, you will need to present your national and international driving licenses. Note that if you only present the international one, it cannot act as your driving license, and therefore, you are not allowed to rent or drive a car hire with it. If you have any additional drivers, they have to present the two legal documents, too.

With a car hire having an insurance cover is important. With personal car insurance or when the rental is charged to one of the major credit cards, at least you will be covered for collision damage. This means that as you pick up the car at Dunedin airport, you will not need to pay for the loss or collision damage waiver. In case you are not sure, the credit card issuer or your insurance agent can be of help in providing the necessary information. Prior to leaving in the hired car, inspecting it for body damage is recommended. Ensure that the turn signals and lights are in proper working order. Checking the mileage odometer is also important. In case there are defects, you need to report it to the rental agent immediately.

When the car has been presented to you, you need to familiarize yourself with its workings, prior to leaving the lot. You must be aware of the side that the gas tank is situated. Being able to use its headlights, turn signals and windshield wipers is extremely important. Memorizing the color, model and make of the car must not be ignored. The aim is to avoid difficulties identifying the car when you park at a busy parking lot.

When making the reservation with Dunedin airport car hire companies, you need to state the date of returning the car. To avoid additional charges, you need to be aware of the rental conditions that are related to returning the car. For example, the time when you intend to return the car may not be within the normal business hours. Again, note that, when you return the car at an earlier date than you had informed the company you may need to pay an additional fee.
