When is Father's Day?

Father’s Day in New Zealand falls on Sunday, 7th September 2025. It’s the perfect chance to spoil Dad with unforgettable experiences, luxury drives, and the ultimate Father’s Day gifts in NZ. Unlike America or Europe, Kiwi families celebrate in early spring, making it a unique time to show appreciation.

Why Father’s Day Dates Differ Around the World

Ever wondered why Father’s Day isn’t celebrated on the same day everywhere? In the United States, it falls on the third Sunday in June, while many European countries have their own traditions and dates, often linked to Saint Joseph’s Day in March. In New Zealand and Australia, Father’s Day is observed on the first Sunday of September.

The reason for this difference is partly seasonal: September marks the beginning of spring in the Southern Hemisphere, making it ideal for outdoor activities, scenic drives, and family gatherings. Celebrating Father’s Day at this time allows Kiwi families to enjoy sunny weather and plan special adventures.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas: A Dream Day Behind the Wheel

So if you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day in New Zealand this year, why not combine spectacular cars, breathtaking scenery, and memorable experiences? MotorShare has you covered with a variety of ideas that any dad would love.

With our Daily Rentals, you can craft a Father’s Day Dad will never forget. Imagine his excitement when he discovers the car of his dreams waiting for him. Our fleet offers something for every taste:

For pure driving thrills, choose a Porsche Boxster, Jaguar F-Type S, or Lotus Elise 240 Final Edition for manual purists. Want more horsepower? Step into a Corvette C8, Aston Martin DB9, or the Mustang Dark Horse for a full-throttle American muscle experience. If Dad prefers to bring the family along, our Bentley Bentayga or Mercedes-AMG G63 will ensure the journey is both thrilling and comfortable.

But it’s not just about the car. Our carefully planned routes take Dad through northern Auckland’s most scenic roads, from winding mountain stretches to coastal vistas, even passing golf courses along the way. Enjoy a gourmet lunch at Brick Bay before taking a leisurely stroll along the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail, combining culture, fresh air, and relaxation. You can even preview the route on Google Maps.
