Self Drive: Rental Car
Hire a rental car to go wherever you wish to go and at your own pace.
Hiring a rental car offers extra flexibility and a range of vehicles is available for all holiday makers.
Beware though, despite New Zealand’s small size, it takes a lot longer to get to places than you think and it’s not just because of all the photo stops you’ll want to make!
In many parts of the country roads wind around hills and have one way bridges so allow plenty of time to get to your destination. And, you need to know, driving in New Zealand is on the left hand side of the road.
