Some rental car companies do not allow you to take your rental car or campervan from one island to the other, so it is sometimes necessary to make seperate bookings for each island. If you are travelling from the North Island to the South Island, you will drop your car off in Wellington, and collect another car in Picton (South Island) when you disembark from the Inter Island ferry.

Please check with your rental company at the time of booking.

Insurance excess for your rental vehicle can be substantial, and often $3,000 to $4,000. This means that you have to pay this amount in the event of any damage to the vehicle. Rental companies will allow you to reduce this excess if you pay an additional daily charge, which may be $20-$30 extra per day. As an alternative to paying this additional daily fee, check the terms and conditions of your travel insurance policy. You may find that your travel insurance covers the excess. If in doubt ask your travel insurer.

Rental cars New Zealand-What Are Driving Conditions Like In New Zealand?

The roads in New Zealand are generally very good. Surfaces are usually well maintained, and once out of the major metropolitan areas, traffic volume is relatively low.

Roads between many areas can be winding, so please allow extra travel time where appropriate (your car rental company will be able to advise you).

Please be aware though that road conditions can change without notice, particularly in the alpine regions, where snow and ice are common in the colder months. Snow chains can be a necessity at these times.

Please also note that there are a few roads where travel is prohibited by the car rental companies, so please check with them.
