Transport Options for Touring around New Zealand

As nature's wonderland, New Zealand really does lend itself to touring by road, from the far north all the way to the deep south.  Well sign-posted and safe for driving, our highways and motorways steers visitors through diverse and beautiful coastline, to awe-inspiring lake and river districts, magnificent forests and national parks, and glorious mountain regions.

With this in mind, and for those who wish to take in the delights of New Zealand's country side by road, we are pleased to offer self-drive and fully-escorted driving options.

Self-drive enthusiasts can make a selection from four types of vehicles available - intermediate sedan, full-size sedan, intermediate 4WD and full size 4WD.  We've also a range of other vehicles available on request.

Unlimited kilometres, daily insurance (subject to excess), additional driver fees, age surcharge and GST (Government Goods & Services Tax) are included in your hire.

And when you choose one of our packages as well as your detailed itinerary, maps and detailed directions are provided to ensure you enjoy discovering New Zealand independently.  We're also only a telephone call away should you require assistance of any kind.

Or if you would like to tour in New Zealand by road, but would prefer to do so without having to take the wheel yourself, then sit back and relax.  We offer the option of a private luxury vehicle which is driven by one of our friendly and knowledgeable driver/guides.  Enjoy a much or as little exclusive commentary as desired and relish the privilege of stopping to see those special places en-route.
