Is it better to hire a car when going around Auckland?


Travel Info
I'm planning to stay in Auckland for 1.5 days after 8 days stay in Sth Island. 1 full(Day1) and half-day(Day2) free with flight booking evening on Day2. I have a 2-year-old daughter, so long walking is not good option. Thanks.

Travel Tips
Get a driver to take you around. They will know the area and keep you out of the bad parts. Source(s): a lot of school

Other Travel Tips
Driving in Auckland is a real hassle, so would recommend either public transport or hiring a driver. It's hard to see the sights and try and drive too (especially if you're from another country, since we drive on the opposite side of the road in NZ). Enjoy your trip!
I'd definitely hire a car (or just buy a cheap one) for the South Island, but Auckland is a big city with lots of public transportation. Not sure what you need one for in city. Take your little one to the aquarium in the square if you get to Christchurch, she'll like that.
Id pick the places you want to visit - eg the Zoo, Kelly Tarltons, Museum, Shopping malls (St Lukes, Botony, Sylvia Park) and get the bus or a taxi, rather than driving a hire car (although you would be able to visit more places with one)
