Having lived in Auckland for over 2 years I agree that public transport is limited, although there is a free bus service (Red bus) that does a loop of the CBD.
When renting a car, look at some of the "second tier" companies (for example Go Rentals). They are generally much cheaper than Avis, Hertz, etc.
