Car & Motorbike

The Happy Snappers

The best way to explore New Zealand is with your own wheels. All the big international rental car companies are here, plus a number of smaller local operators such as Omega Rental Cars and Apex Rental Cars.

Rental companies are used to requests to pick up in Auckland and drop off in Queenstown, though such rentals often incur vehicle relocation fees, depending on the company and season.

Motorcycle rentals are also available.

If relocating a rental car for next to nothing sounds like a good option, check out Transfercar.

Rules

Drive on the left; you must wear your seatbelt; always carry your licence; don’t drive while using a mobile phone; drink-driving is a serious offence; obey speed limits.
