Self driving holidays are one of the most relaxing ways of enjoying New Zealand's landscape. Many roads are scenic and traffic is low when compared to international standards. Although distances may seem short, however the roads often include hilly or winding terrain, which slow down your journey.
If you're used to driving in the city, you should take care when driving on the open country roads.
• All motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road and the unit is in Kilometers.
• There is no left turn rule as in North America.
· The speed limit on open roads is 100kmph.
· Drivers and passengers must wear seat belts at all times, in both front and rear seats.
· Make sure that you have plenty of sleep before a long drive. Take regular breaks - one every two hours and when you feel sleepy.
· Do not drink alcohol before driving in New Zealand - drinking and driving laws are strictly enforced
