They all have a variety of cars from which you can choose your most suitable option for travelling within the city.

These adjustments are usually made to enhance road safety and reduce the possibility of accident occurrence. Drivers are, therefore, urged to stay aware of these limits and other traffic rules when driving. Obeying the set traffic rules keeps you safe and enhances the safety of the road users around you.

  • Where are the recommended places to park in Greymouth?

Because I picked up the car 15 minutes early and returned it 17 minutes after the designated time, they state that I as outside the 30 minute leeway allowed, they thus charged me an extra days rental. Beware if ever hiring from Europcar.
