Make sure the rental has a trunk. Some rental hatch backs do not have the luggage area cover. I have rejected rental cars for this reason, and gone back to desk to request another. Rental cars are a target for thieves in all countries. If you have some thing valuable leave it at home.
Windscreen dashboard shades do work. I have 1 in all my cars, but do not use then much. Buy at any auto spares place and some department/big box type stores:- Warehouse - Target
An insulated cooler bag or icebox (
esky or chilly bin in this part of the world) slows down heat transmission. Condensation is not a problem in a NZ summer.
Yep, for NZ
I guess the temperature doesn't get that high, but with a clear sky the sun beaming down constantly wouldn't that raise the temperature significantly?
I will keep an eye out for a sunshade, at least consider it as an option...
And yes I'm a littler concerned about getting a hatch without any cover... but I'll try my best to make sure they give me the best option!
