Driving in New Zeland?

[mint]

Evening all.. well morning technically now >< damm time lapse..

Ok, just been speaking to my cousin who moved over to New Zeland at the start of the year with her boyfriend. Iam heading over there next year for a month with my best friend and his brother and my cousin has mentioned organising a Van so i can travel around.

What would be involved on my end? I know i can ask her however she's rarely on the computer.. more in the sea haha so thought "why not ask on here"

Anyone?

No i think my cousin will have a van sitting waiting for me, In regards to Insurance and a License to drive, Whats the best way of going about this? A permit? If so before i leave?

You will be fine to use your own driving license so long as its current.

When you hire the van you sign a contract and you have the option for a little extra money to take out insurance for damage to the van or any other vehicle involved.

Also take out travellers insurance on yourself.


The South Island is very beautiful and the roads have very little traffic on them

Yeah you can use your current overseas licence over here. See how many silvias you can spot while you are over here
