Answers to your Burning Questions 

We realize a lot of 18 and 19 year olds want to hire a car or campervan so we have made sure you can do this with us. As long as you've turned 18 before you hire the vehicle, and have had a suitable license for 2 years prior, you can drive it as much as you like. See the terms & conditions documents at the bottom of our Camper Insurance page for full info.

We drive on the left side of the road, which may take some getting used to for some of you. For those that also drive on the left we have a different interpretation of the give way rule than most countries (hey we didn't make the rules, if we did they'd be easier!). As for New Zealand road rules, we provide a driver guide and NZ maps in your vehicle, so have a read through before you take off.

Get a mate to come along and do the driving. It's better to share your experiences with someone else anyway. Or if you're still coming solo you could meet someone here, there are ample opportunities to meet other travellers and then travel together. If you decide that hiring a vehicle is not for you after all, take the Kiwi Experience bus and let someone else do the driving!

We hire our vehicles out in advance so you'll need to give us a call but, if we can help you out we will. See the terms & conditions documents at the bottom of our Camper Insurance page for full info.

You can cross the Cook Straight on an InterIsland ferry. They take hundreds of vehicles over every day, so you and your vehicle will be sweet to get onboard. With Explore More, you get a discount on your ferry crossing too!

Our daily rate includes: unlimited kilometres, a fully equipped vehicle, 24 hour roadside assistance, standard insurance, maps and a number of travel and attraction discounts. They're all packed full of features that we've no doubt forgotten some - enjoy the surprises!

There are some spots in New Zealand that we like to keep car free. These include: Skippers Road (Queenstown), Ninety Mile Beach (Northland), Ball Hut Road (Mt Cook), North of Colville Township (Coromandel Peninsula) and Tapu-Coroglen Road (Coromandel Peninsula). Feel free to walk around though. Ask upon vehicle check out for a comprehensive list of roads you can't drive on.

All our hire vehicles are registered with the AA (Automobile Association) and covered for 24/7 roadside assistance. If you are experiencing problems, then they can assist you to get back on track. Alternatively, you can call us anytime during opening hours; we like to make sure that you are having a fantastic time and not just stuck by the side of the road! See Car roadside support and Camper van roadside support pages for more information.

Additional products for hire include: chairs, tables, hot water bottles (hottie in NZ slang), tents and much much more...
