From Hotel Lobby to Highway. Your Auckland Car Awaits

Whether you’re in town for work, planning a North Island escape, or just need a hassle-free way to get around, hiring a car from Auckland’s city centre is the way to go.

We’ve made it easy. Evolve Rentals now offers pickup right from the Grand Millennium Auckland at 71 Mayoral Drive — a central location that’s walking distance from most hotels and ideal if you’re already settled in the CBD.

Why Start Your Trip in the City?

• No detours to the airport
• Easy access if you’re staying locally
• Great for weekend getaways, work trips, or beach days

And because we like to keep things simple, Evolve customers can grab a free coffee at the hotel café when they spend $15 or more. A small perk to fuel your road trip and refresh travel-weary eyes.

Our Local Tip. Head West

If you’ve got a few hours up your sleeve, one of our favourite drives from the city is out to Karekare Beach. Rugged, wild, and far less crowded than some of its neighbours, it’s perfect for a quick nature reset. Plus, the drive itself takes you through the lush Waitākere Ranges — ideal terrain for a hybrid hatchback and a peaceful playlist.

We’ll be covering more of Auckland’s best beach drives soon, but Karekare is always a solid place to start.
