Pay attention to the parking signs. Basically, there's no charge. We only paid for parking once during the entire New Zealand trip, and after paying, we walked 50 meters and saw a very empty free parking lot. The car didn't move at all during our stay in Auckland, and we parked it in the hotel.

If you are in the South Island / including Christchurch and Dunedin, there is almost no parking fee anywhere else... the only exception is Queenstown. When it comes to dinner time, parking spaces in Queenstown become very hard to find. I suggest you scout around before it gets dark; you can park for an hour on the roadside, just like parking next to the sidewalk. Every street will have a metal parking meter. Insert a credit card and follow the instructions. When it shows that you need to pull it out and reinsert it with the magnetic strip facing the back, do so. The parking fee for one hour is 4.5 New Zealand dollars.

There is free parking , if the sign has 15 or 60 it means you can park for free for 15 minutes or 1 hour, if overcharged you have to pay, and the charge is based on the length of time you park. You can try to park for free

So suggest people rent cars with credit cards and make sure your credit cards have rental car insurance. My card has it, so I don't have to buy any collision insurance. After getting home, I just fill out an online claim form, upload all the photos, documents, and credit card records when I rented the car, etc. Two weeks later, I received an email saying the claim was approved, and all the windshield fees that the rental car company deducted from me were returned to me. They asked me how I wanted them to send the money to me ? New Zealand Q&A

The service staff took a lot of pictures when I picked up the car. I thought they were professional, so I didn't take any pictures (besides, I thought that since I had full insurance, there wouldn't be any problems if an accident happened). Today, when I returned the car, a different lady looked at it very carefully and found a little damage to the paint. She didn't compare it to the pictures when I picked up the car. She just emphasized that I didn't need to make any payments, but asked me to sign. I wondered if the insurance company was playing some kind of trick ? New Zealand Q&A

For one-off compensation and various benefits for those who suffer permanent injury. Q: What constitutes an "accident"? Any illness or injury caused by a sudden event. Some cases are uncontroversial: those who have been assaulted, involved in a car accident, fallen over, self-harmed, injured by any external force, and sudden illnesses that cannot be predicted. ACC will usually accept these cases straight away, without seeking a doctor's professional opinion. Some cases may be related to past medical history, for example, if someone who previously had high blood pressure suffered a heart attack or stroke in New Zealand, there is controversy over whether this counts as an "accident". ACC will usually seek a doctor's opinion and then make a decision on whether to pay compensation. However, in these cases, doctors usually side with the patient and advise ACC to pay compensation. Unlike general commercial insurance companies, ACC can be "free" and automatically joined. The biggest difference between ACC and general commercial insurance companies is that you don't have to join ACC insurance before an accident happens. As long as you are a natural person in New Zealand, you are automatically insured ? New Zealand Q&A
