The roads in the city are well maintained and wide enough for any vehicle, so your choice of Invercargill car hire depends on your needs. If you're sticking within the city limits, a compact model is usually easier to navigate and lighter on fuel. If you're planning on a road trip with a few people through the nearby wilderness, consider picking up an SUV or 4x4 purely for comfort. 4x4s are wise if you plan on tackling off-road obstacles around the area.

The speed limits in the city and surrounding area are similar to the limits in Southland, which include a 100 km/h default limit on open roads. There is a cap at 110 km/h on selected motorways, while the maximum speed on rural roads, outside the built-up areas, is 60 km/h. Most cities and town centres have a limit of 50 km/h, but the Invercargill council have introduced a reduced limit in certain areas of the city that's capped at 30 km/h. These areas include shopping districts and anywhere near schools.

Finding parking for your car hire in Invercargill shouldn't be much of a problem. There is on-street parking in the shopping district outside most of the shops that's free most of the time. There may be parking guards that'll charge you, but they're few and far between. If you find yourself at a shopping centre, you'll have access to car parks that'll charge you using a ticket system. If you're at an on-street parking section that isn't free, the first 15min generally come without a charge and you'll be charged in 15min increments from then on.
