Driving around New Zealand is an ideal way to discover the wonders of the country at your own pace! Like here in the UK New Zealanders drive on the left, however unlike here, the roads are enviably quiet, of good quality and are free of congestion. The following tours are merely intended as a suggestion and can be modified or extended to suit your exact requirements and budget!

At AwayGay we use Budget Rent a Car who offer a network of over 60 rental locations throughout New Zealand. They range from Kaitaia in the far north, to Invercargill on the southern tip of the South Island; so no matter where you are, a Budget office is never far away.
