Enjoy the Museums of New Zealand with Luxurious Car Rental Facilities


New Zealand – A land that beckons with rare birds and unrivalled natural beauty is a favoured destination for vacationers from across the globe. To make your holiday complete, you must remember to encounter the geothermal and volcanic landscapes of Rotorua. Pump up your adrenalin by skydiving and/or bungee jumping, experience high quality dining-sipping the exquisite wines of Auckland and Wellington, venture through the untouched alpine valleys on New Zealand’s Great Walks and meet up with its dolphins, whales and other exotic species of wildlife.

Along with enjoying these various bounties of New Zealand, you must also savour the delights of its many art galleries and museums—which are definitely worth a look. Read on for some interesting inputs on some the most visited museums of New Zealand.

The Auckland War Memorial Museum hosts international exhibitions and boasts of an intriguing calendar of talks, performances, children's activities and film screenings-- to complement its other programs. This venue is a favourite for its vast collection of exhibits of significant importance and offers tantalising views of the Waitemata Harbour as well as the islands of the Hauraki Gulf beyond. This museum is well known for its excellent exhibitions of Polynesian and Maori arts and crafts that invite all tourists to its daily Māori cultural performances.

The other museums worth visiting in this country are the New Zealand National Maritime Sky and the Stardome Observatory located on the slopes of One Tree Hill. The MOTAT (Museum of Transport and Technology), is also worth of a look.

What to do in case your hired car breaks down? 
While driving to these locations, you may face problems with your car. So, what to do in case your hired car breaks down? The guidelines provided below will help you sort out the issues on hand and get you back on the road once more.


  • As soon as you realise that there is the problem in your car, just pull up to the right-hand shoulder—especially if you find yourself on the highway. Try to coast along till you are away from any curves or bends on the road behind you. 
  • If you find your engine dying out right on the highway, then keep sitting in your car. Don’t attempt to cross a high-speed freeway on foot—it can prove to be suicidal. 
  • If it’s dark, put on the interior lights so that you are more visible. Keep running the engine (if it is operable) so that your battery does not run down. 
  • Try to flag down a highway patrol officer patrolling the heavily travelled highways of New Zealand. 
  • Roll down the window on your side and hang out a white piece of paper or cloth to attract the attention of those who can help!


With these tips in place, you will soon find yourself back on the road—zipping to the next museum on your list of ‘must sees’ in New Zealand.
