Road Trips in New Zealand
The size and scenic beauty of New Zealand makes it the perfect road trip destination. New Zealanders drive on the left as we do, and the roads are quiet, clearly signed and well maintained.
Self Drive Tours
Our self drive adventures start in New Zealand’s main cities and you can pick up your car in the city centres or at the airport before you head out onto the open road. You can combine them with other holiday options or join two or more for a longer self drive holiday.
Our carefully planned self drive tours will help you get the most out of your holiday. The travel pack you receive on arrival includes a day-by-day itinerary, maps and local information so you can plan each day’s sightseeing and activities. Hotels are pre-booked for you, so you receive a comfortable bed and a warm kiwi welcome at the end of the day.
Motorhomes
Travel in comfort and style in our range of quality campervans carefully selected from the best New Zealand has to offer. From campervans perfect for one or two, to full size motorhomes suitable for the whole family, your Freedom Consultant will help find the campervan that is right for you. Throughout New Zealand you will find clean, well-equipped campervan parks with powered sites and modern amenities, often in stunning locations.
Car Hire
For part, if not all of your stay in New Zealand, a rental car gives you the added freedom to explore at your own pace. Driving conditions are excellent, roads are wide and well-maintained and once outside the city, you are likely to have the road to yourself.
We’ve teamed up with Hertz, renowned internationally for quality and value, to bring you a great choice of cars with locations right across New Zealand that are convenient for you.
