Car Rental in Hastings

A city constantly striving to be unique and pleasant on the eyes, Hastings is a unique and enjoyable city for the traveller to visit. Much of the town being rebuilt after the 1931 earthquake has resulted in original historic buildings being mixed with an abundance of Art Deco style popular at the time.

Also being the food producing capital of New Zealand, there is plenty to do in Hastings for art and food lovers alike. While relatively unknown to tourists in comparison to the nearby rival city Napier, Hastings has remained a quiet and peaceful place, ideal for those wishing to avoid the big tourist crowds. With excellent roads which see little to no traffic, and some of the highest levels of sunshine in New Zealand, Hastings is the perfect place to jump into your rental car and see the sights. Auto Europe offers several pick up locations and a large rental car fleet, so finding a car rental in Hastings is both easy and economical.

Travelling in Hastings with a Car Rental

Exploring Hastings in your rental car, you will come across many pleasant sites, from olive trees planted along Main Street, to the city fountain and clock tower. Make sure to keep an eye out for the iconic concrete sheep, which are moved every now and then to different parts of the city. Travellers with an eye for interesting architecture and artistic design will notice the many things that make Hastings different from other cities, including curved streetlights, a historic train running through the centre of the cbd, and various statues and artworks around the city centre.

Not only an interesting city, Hastings also includes the surrounding area, full of attractions and activities for the young and old. On a hot day, drive your rental car to visit to Splash Planet, one of New Zealand’s biggest water parks. For lovers of wine there aren’t many places on par with Hastings, with over 60 wineries in the immediate area it is the perfect place to sample a drop and stock up on a bottle or two of the local wines, many of which are internationally awarded.
