Uses of Minibus with Enjoyable Drive

Minibus is just a fun to drive. To whom exactly minibus suits? A minibus is a 7 to 17 (though some may insist it is 9 to 16) passenger vehicle. Anything less voluminous is a car, and more is a coach. Therefore, if you are more than four persons then choosing minibus rental is the best. It is always nice to travel altogether in one than to travel in separate cars or taxis with multiple drivers. It is much more affordable than a full-size bus when a vehicle that large isn’t necessarily needed. This makes a minibus a popular choice for schools, families, taxi services, charities and many other organizations which are of similar nature.

Minibuses are used for a variety of reasons.

Public transport comprises passenger transportation services which are available for use by the general public, as opposed to modes for private use such as automobiles or vehicles for hire role.

An Airport bus or airport shuttle bus or airport shuttle is a bus used to transport people to/from or within airports. These vehicles will usually be equipped with larger luggage space, and incorporate special branding.

Demand responsive transport or demand responsive transit is “an advanced, user-oriented form of public transport characterized by flexible routing and scheduling of small/medium vehicles operating in shared-ride mode between pick-up and drop-off locations according to passengers needs”.

A taxicab, also taxi or cab, is a type of public transport for a single passenger, or small group of passengers, typically for a non-shared ride.

Para transit is an alternative mode of flexible passenger transportation that does not follow fixed routes or schedules. Typically vans or mini-buses are used to provide Para transit service, Individual owners may use reduced seating minibuses as cheap recreational vehicles.

If you are planning to hire a minibus, it requires no more effort that is required for the car hire. Before paying for your minibus rental, know how many people needs to seat and the model you would like. As prices vary by company and by date, for the best deals do a little research .Reservation in advance saves your both time and money. Waiting to the last minute or worse waiting till you are at the rental agency, will cost you more in the long run. It is always best to reserve the minibus at least a week in advance but the more notice you have the better deal you will find.

Minibus rental will need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. The majority of rental car agencies will charge more if the driver is under 25 because they pose a higher risk or in case you are hiring their driver. However, some may rent to those as young as 21, just expect to pay more. It is a change of pace, allowing you to break from the ordinary and drive something different. They are easy to drive and very convenient.

Before You Rent Your Move ? Consider a Few Things

In general terms, what is rental? It is an agreement between the lesser (the owner of the property) and the lessee (party paying to use the property) and where a payment is made for the temporary use of a good or property. One can rent anything for anything. Here we are particularly talking about the car and truck rentals. For what major reasons anyone will opt for Car rental or Truck rental in Auckland. The reason could be for business purposes, i.e. transportation of goods or some personal like moving from present location to another, going for a vacation etc.

The possible things to be kept in mind before renting:

What type of vehicle you require?

If you have planned a holiday and you are traveling with children or with lots of gear, for that you may want a SUV or a large sedan. But in case you are not in a mood to spend more on rental, and gas then its better to reserve the small model. You can have other criteria apart from them, check for Green Travel resources, learn about international car rental and truck rental tips. Also, be sure that the company offers any extras you might need or want, such as a ski rack, car seat or GPS system.

Booking Your Car or Truck

How long will you be renting the vehicle ?If it’s for less than a week or even longer, you’ll probably do best with a major rental company, such as Auckland Car rental or Auckland Truck rental . Ask for their support services if in case you met a breakdown in mid of your journey. Never forget to check out the discount car and truck rental deals before making any kind of reservations.

Understand the rental deal

If you are using online services for renting, read the terms and conditions carefully before confirming your reservation. Is there any penalty if you are unable to reach on drop-off time while you are stuck in traffic. Is there fee if you require additional driver and is it necessary to put their name in the contract. Are you offering drop-off in case it is one-way Auckland Car rental or Auckland Truck rental and what are the fees. It is better to get confirmation number and for airport rentals, be sure be sure to give the customer service representative your flight number and scheduled arrival time. This will usually protect your reservation if the flight is delayed.

Cost of the rent

Beware of what is advertised. The rate you see may become so inflated with state and local taxes, airport surcharges, additional driver fees, insurance, gasoline bills and drop-off charges that you end up paying more than double what you expected. These days the major rental companies have adopted “yield management.” In these computers quickly readjust prices according to changes in the supply of cars or trucks available, and so the rental rate you are quoted is valid only at that moment. Unless you reserve immediately, the rate is likely to change. Examine your rental contract carefully before you pay up for all the charges and wait there until they credit any deposit from your account.

Campervan Hire New Zealand

Getting to set out exploring New Zealand in a Spaceship is something that people are lucky enough to do every day, but setting out in a Hybrid model takes this luck to a level of luxury! I was fortunate enough to take one of these beautiful vehicles for a weekend away up to the Bay of Islands.

FRI – Just finished work and am getting the grand tour through Machina Electrica, learning all about the bells and whistles of this fascinating vehicle. We were lucky enough to be given a very thorough explanation of the hybrid but as my partner and I both discovered, we were a little bit too excited about the whole thing to have actually listened. Note to self, when someone is explaining information to you about how something works, it is best to listen and stop your mind racing a million miles an hour thinking about all the fantastic things you are about to see! 

We arrived in Paihia about 11pm at night after being stuck in typical Friday afternoon traffic leaving Auckland and some roadworks along the way. Nothing could faze us however and we easily found some signs leading us to a camper van allowed pay and display car park that would be our sleeping arrangements for the night.

SAT – Waking bright and early Sat morning to get to our day tour which left just after 7:30am we headed out of our Spaceship to find where we had slept the night before was also housing about 20 other camper vans. We must have hit the jackpot as nothing looked as beautiful as our bright orange Machina! We headed to a local bakery for some brekkie and chatted to the owners who were talking to us about the Keri Keri half marathon assuming that was why we were in town. As I scoffed down my pie for breakfast they changed their mind very quickly and asked where we were from. I love the friendly nature of small town New Zealand, who when they ask about you, are actually interested in what you have to say.

We then headed down to the wharf which was where our BRUCK (truck front, bus back) was picking us up from to take part in the Dune rider tour. We were welcomed on board by the friendly driver and took our seats on what was going to be a very long, but very rewarding day. My partner and I both noted how spacious the vehicle was which considering my partner is nothing short of a giant,  was very much welcomed and incredibly comfortable for the both of us.

We were out on the road and soon at our first stop, a Maori Pa site that overlooked the beautiful Doubtless Bay. A few of us were willing to brave the windy conditions and take a short walk to the top of the site which was definitely worth being blown around for – the view was stunning! We then hopped back on board and headed for our morning tea and lunch pick up spot of Coopers Beach cafe which impressed me very much by the variety of food on offer.

Then it was on to Gumdiggers park where we were greeted by a gumboot fence and learnt that the term gumboot came from New Zealand which everyone was very surprised by. This place is amazing! Surrounded by ancient Kauri trees we got out and stretched our legs on a short stroll through part of the forest and were shown through ancient gumdiggers huts and stores. You could really feel the history of the place and were in complete awe as we walked through these massive trees that had seen so much in the world throughout their time. Now it was time to head to the top (or bottom if you go by Maori legend) of the North Island to see the beautiful Cape Reinga.

Along the way, we stopped off at the giant sand dunes and rode on the bus through Te Paki stream or quick sand stream as the locals call it. I was very happy to have someone else with so much experience driving through this terrain, as I was not feeling very confident we could have made it otherwise!! A huge walk up the dunes (which I nearly gave up on half way through as I couldn’t see me making it to the top) and a thrilling ride down on a boogie board I felt like a kid again and enjoyed every single minute of it .

Hearing the Maori tales of the Cape being where spirits come on their journey back to their ancestor’s homeland, I was prepared for a place of huge spiritual meaning – I was not disappointed. Seeing the 2 oceans (Pacific ocean and Tasman Sea) come together is something that words just can not describe. My partner and I spent a good 40 minutes out at the Cape just appreciating how lucky we were to be able to see this with our own eyes and enjoying every minute of it.

After such an awakening it was then back to our BRUCK to make our way to 90 mile beach. A beach that is only actually 60 miles in length, really does feel like 90 miles of white sand and pure beauty. Indulging myself in a bit of the Tuatua twist I discovered this beach was abundant with seafood and shellfish which got my tummy rumbling and scheduled the end of our 90 mile beach visit as it was time to head elsewhere.

Heading back to Paihia we stopped off along the way at Wanui and the ancient Kaori Museum which had the most elaborate staircase built inside the trunk of an enormous Kaori tree and then Mongonui fish and chip shop which is famous amongst New Zealanders and allowed me to get my seafood fix after getting so hungry at 90 mile beach earlier. Then we were back in Paihia and ready to get to a camp ground for the night.

SUN – We were lucky enough to have a bit of a sleep in as our Dolphin Discovery tour didn’t start until 9am. This cruise took us around some of the 144 islands that make up the beautiful Bay of Islands in the most comfortable catamaran. As someone who often gets sea sick, I am very pleased to say even though the water was very choppy, I remained feeling incredibly healthy. The cruise took us searching for dolphins through the scenic Bay and right through the hole in the rock. Going through an island on a catamaran is something that sounds surreal but is seriously an amazing experience. From here our cruise through the islands continued and included tails of Maori battles and European battles – we were lucky enough to set foot on one of the islands and walk up another Pa site. This site was an extremely important one as it was where France tried to colonise New Zealand not realising Britain had done so years earlier. The island itself is gorgeous with perfect white sandy beaches and crystal clear water.  This cruise lasted about 4 hours and really did cover the islands at a high level. Obviously to visit all 144 islands would take much longer, but all the major islands and important sites were covered and having the time to get off the boat and explore an island really just capped it off. A welcome crew member on board the catamaran was a photographer! She took photos of everyone on the tour and all places we visited. This is perfect especially if your camera was to be left behind of batteries stop working. All in all the entire weekend was perfect, it was difficult to come home and head back to reality.

Whether it is a holiday or a business trip, you might want to rent a car or rent a van. If public transport is not an option for you then you have to opt for it.

Mostly it is the base value that is charged by the company and allows you to put unlimited miles on the car. When choosing a car, you’ll need to consider the number of passengers, the amount of luggage, the fuel economy of different cars, the rental cost and your budget. You will need a credit card in order to reserve and pay for the rental.

Legal Documents: Before you leave home, make sure that you have a driver’s license in your pocket. Without that, don’t even try to rent or drive a car in your country. To have access to legal international driving license, you will also need an International Driver’s Permit (IDP).

Insurance: The companies prefer to tell the base value in the start but afterward when the billing form is given at the pick up time, the renter gets the price shock of their life. The reservation cost and the presented differs from each other in a good amount. It is advisable to safeguard your trip with wide options open. It may be tempting to rent and buy whatever insurance protection is provided by the company. The following types of insurance, all of which are optional are offered by the rental companies:

Personal Protection Plan (PPP): This covers medical, ambulance and death expenses for yourself and your passengers.

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): This is not insurance; it simply removes your responsibility if your rental car is stolen or damaged. It applies only to the rental car and Auckland van rental.

Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI): This covers any other property you might damage with your rental car.

GPS: In today’s technological world the introduction of GPS (Global positioning System) technology is used by many rental companies to limit the speed of the car and also to locate the vehicle in case of any mishap. This comes with additional charges.

Hidden Costs: Apart from insurance, charges for special situations are also there. This includes if you want a driver or if your own driver is of lesser age than required, a wheelchair, a pre-paid fuel option or a child safety seat.

Camper Van Hire in New Zealand

Many visitors come to New Zealand for the very first time and then they decide to want to come back because they didn’t allow themselves enough time to visit both Islands.

Be sure to ask all your questions in advance -and at any stage of your holiday planning to receive as much information as possible to make your planned stay as enjoyable as possible.

12 tips and more for your camper van hire in New Zealand:

- Hires out of Auckland for peak season travel availability from Auckland can be very restricted, limited or not possible.

- Plan to stay at least for 3 weeks – 10 days North Island and 10 days South Island.

- All Motorhomes and camper vans go onto the Cook Strait ferry and cannot be exchanged at the respective Wellington or Picton ferry terminals (Wellington is on the North Island – Picton on the South Island).

- First and last day count as hire days – camper van and Motorhome hires are based on calendar day hire – so you can pick up on day one first thing in the morning and drop the vehicle off on your last day at the latest by 5 pm.

- After hour pick up is a hassle. Allow 2 hours for Auckland pick up and at least 1 hour for Christchurch pick up. For plane arrivals after 3 pm – it will not be possible to collect the camper van on same day.

- Most NZ Motorhome companies want their vehicles in Auckland – so the preferred option of hire is from Christchurch to Auckland.

- Pick up and drop off either at Auckland or Christchurch – depots are usually located close to the airports.

- Children under 5 years of age have to be seated in an approved child car seat – no need to bring your own – this can be provided at very little extra costs.

- New Zealand Roads are most suited for vehicles with manual gear shift – most 4 or 6 berth Motorhomes are equipped with manual gear shift only.

- For long haul travellers we strongly recommend to have their first night in a hotel or Motel etc and start their Camper van holiday the next day.

- You do not need a special drivers licence to drive a Motorhome or camper van in New Zealand.

- For peak season travel we strongly recommend to book at least 3 months ahead to avoid disappointment later on.

- Over the Christmas/New Year period please pre-book your site at caravan parks as in some hot spots availability will be restricted.

- Most roads in NZ are sealed roads however some road restrictions exist and it is prohibited to drive a rental vehicles on those roads.

- Breakdowns do happen – 24 hour road assistance is offered but can often be delayed depending where visitors are stranded therefore not always possible.
