Tips Rental Mobil di New Zealand - Part 3

Pada bagian terakhir dari tips menyewa mobil di New Zealand, di sini saya tulis beberapa tips untuk menghemat biaya

1. One-way Hire

Pada umumnya jika kita menyewa mobil akan dikembalikan ke tempat yang sama. Namun bagi turis/wisatawan umumnya lebih suka menyewa mobil satu arah, misalnya ambil di Auckland dan dikembalikan di Wellington, atau bahkan mobil dikembalikan di Christchurch. Di sini istilahnya one-way hire, dan biasanya dikenakan biaya tambahan (surcharge).

Mengapa sebaiknya kita menyewa satu arah? Karena biasanya tidak mungkin kita mengunjungi sebuah kota sebanyak dua kali (saat pergi dan pulang), terlalu menghabiskan waktu dan ingat biaya bahan bakar di NZ cukup mahal (1 liter gasoline oktan 91 = NZD 2.10 per Oct 2011).

Tidak semua perusahaan rental punya jaringan luas. Kota seperti Auckland dan Christchurch sudah pasti banyak depot rental, tapi belum tentu ada di Queenstown. Jadi jika kita ingin one-way hire, pastikan rental punya depot di kota tujuan.

Riding Bicycle in Amsterdam

Netherland is bicycle heaven. Every city, any places, we can easily find someone is riding bicycle in his daily activity, from walk his dog, shopping, go to university or workplace.

So as a tourist, this activity should not be missed. It is fun and healthy, also cheap (if you own one). Rent a bike is also very convenient as many places, Amsterdam in particular, are offering bike rental. One day rent of bike is from 8-12 Euro. Deposit is required, either by placing your cash or by credit card. This is deposit to ensure that you will return the bike back to its workshop. Also paying insurance is optional (3 Euro) against theft.

One thing to note is the bike we rent usually is dutch classic, granny bike. It features one speed only with pedal break. It will take little time to get accustomed to operate this kind of bicycle. After paying rental fee and deposit, follow bike lock instruction shown by rental company staff. Then take your bike to the road. Most of roads in Amsterdam have special dedicated bicycle lane, so it is very safe as long as you follow traffic rule (bike usually is prioritized against cars).
