If there is one country in the world to do a road trip, it’s definitely New Zealand. A relatively small country with spectacular scenery. You won’t need to be driving for hours and hours to get to your next destination. More time spent on the beach, climbing a mountain or wandering through a rainforest. Complete flexibility for you and your friends.
A large car offers more space for you and your luggage. Greater power and luxurious comfort. With a higher driving position, enjoy improved visibility of the road. And, of course, better views. An ideal car for the scenic drives of New Zealand with your friends.
We have been designing personalised holidays for many years. We know the best roads to travel, scenic routes, distances and driving times. You won’t be sitting in the car for long periods, but you will see big differences. We work closely with the best rental companies. Full insurance. No gravel road restrictions. And well-equipped cars. We know the best scenic routes that you otherwise wouldn’t normally find. Let us design your ideal holiday.
Our hire cars include insurance with $0 excess as standard. Please note: there are other insurance limitations to consider.
