Driving In New Zealand

What Is Different About Driving In New Zealand?

Driving our roads is a wonderful way to see New Zealand!  However there are a few things that you may not be used to when driving in New Zealand.  For example:

  • we drive on the left hand side of the road
  • we have a unique give way rule at intersections
  • hilly, narrow or winding roads mean that your journey make take longer than you expect

You will be given a Land Transport NZ brochure by Bularangi Ltd before you start your driving experience for you to read.  However you can also have a look at further detail or our rules and regulations by following this link.  If you would like a hard copy posting out to you prior to your rental our tour please let us know.
