Road trip tips for New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries and the world, and you are going to explore it all! How awesome is that? 

Remember, that you are travelling to a different part of the world and different rules might apply when it comes to renting a vehicle. We strongly recommend that you read the terms and condition of the contract thoroughly, so you know what's allowed and how you are covered. 

In addition, we can't recommend enough that you have a valid travel insurance before the day of departure. If you don't have a travel insurance, please get in touch with one of our travel consultants who can help you out. Seriously! 

New Zealand has a huge selection of campsites and holiday parks, providing all necessary facilities such as powered tent sites, motel units, campervan sites, toilets and running water. All you need for a comfortable kiwi holiday. Campervans are a popular option, they give you the freedom to travel when (and where) you want. Be aware though, that there are Freedom Camping rules – this helps keeps New Zealand beautiful for everyone. You can download the CamperMate App for your smartphone – it lists the locations of public toilets, campsites, supermarkets and more. You do not need to be online for using the map.
