ABOUT NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is one of the more popular destinations in the world today. It's beautiful, compact, inexpensive and features a diverse range of attractions from towering snow capped mountains to pristine beaches. Getting around New Zealand is easy -- most roads are sealed, the signs are in English, and a very efficient tourism infrastructure caters to travellers.

Getting off the tourist path is tougher but here at Airport Car Hire New Zealand we recommend you stay on the sealed roads in your hire car from Airport Car Hire and enjoy everything there is to see and do.

You can cross the 83-kilometre sea between the North and South Islands by "Interislander" ferry (trip time - 3 hours) or on the faster "Lynx" catamaran taking just over 2 hours. Foot passengers and vehicles are both welcome. If you're renting a vehicle, avoid the pricey auto fare by leaving your car/motor home on one side and picking up another on the other shore. Both sides have shuttles to local towns and train stations. Try to make the trip during daylight hours to see the Cook Strait's fantastic scenery.

A unique way to take in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world is to view it from a helicopter at 300 metres above the ground. True exhilaration and the best view in the house.
