Hire Cars in Greymouth

Named after its position at the mouth of the Grey River, Greymouth is a common stop for those travelling along New Zealand's west coast. Once a town flourishing on gold and coal mining, it is now a small laid back destination perfect for those wishing to unwind.

Greymouth is also ideally situated to be the place of stay for many holiday makers, using it as a base to return to after day trips to surrounding attractions with a car hire. Whether you are travelling as an individual, couple, small or large group, Auto Europe can provide you with the right size rental car to get you to all there is too see and do. Auto Europe offers several pick up locations and a large rental car fleet, so finding a car rental in Greymouth is both easy and economical.

Travelling in Greymouth with a Hire Car

Collect your car hire and drive out to see one of the most popular reasons people travel to Greymouth, the TranzAlpine Rail, regarded by many as one of the greatest scenic rail journeys in the world. Travelling along the breathtaking tracks between Greymouth and Christchurch, the rail will take you through majestic alps, valleys, gorges and rainforests. Once you have picked up your hire car in Greymouth, plan your day and head off to see the sites.

A hire car will give you the freedom to visit some of the highly recommended sights in the area, such as the Pancake Rocks and spectacular blowholes at nearby Punakaiki, World War II gun emplacements at Cobden, and the Monteiths Brewery, which has been operating for over 150 years.

For those keen to learn about the local history, drive your hire car a short trip south to Shantytown, a collection of cottages, buildings and machinery preserved to retell the tales of the gold rush in the 19th century. This is the site many immigrants came in search of treasure, and ended up helping form the nation.
