New Plymouth Airport is located approximately 11 kilometres from the city centre and serves as the main airport for New Zealand’s Taranaki region. Pick up your Hertz rental car from the terminal and set out to explore the Taranaki region and its abundant natural beauty.
The city boats a sunny climate, with art galleries and beautiful parks littered throughout. For those interested in horticulture and gardening, visit during rhododendron season when the flowers of New Plymouth's famous parks and gardens are in full bloom.
Mount Taranaki serves as the dramatic backdrop to the city and is famous for its resemblance to Japan’s Mount Fuji. We recommend jumping in your rental car and heading for the hiking trails of Egmont National Park, just a short drive away.
Also in town is the New Plymouth Coastal Walkway, a 13 kilometre stretch of promenade with stunning views, perfect for walking, running, cycling or skating along.
Hire a rental car from Hertz and enjoy this stunning piece of the world at your own pace.
