The Golf Travel Group provides several transportation options for your New Zealand adventure
Exploring New Zealand’s beautiful landscapes by car or private driver is an experience unlike any other. It is a wonderful way to experience the magnificent natural scenery & destinations.
It is important to that note that all measurements in New Zealand are metric. Distances are in metres and kilometres, and speed in kilometres per hour. Equally important to note that in New Zealand you drive on the left side of the road and the vehicles have the steering wheel on their right side. Roads in the populated cities and towns are paved and well maintained.
New Zealand’s diverse terrain does mean that roads are often narrow, hilly and windy with plenty of sharp corners. Outside of the main cities, there are very few motorways. Most of the roads are single lane in each direction without barriers in between. You may also encounter gravel roads. Our advice is to allow plenty of time, go slow and enjoy the journey!
As part of our tours, rental cars, private transfers and motor coaches are all available.
