An unforgettable day in Franz Josef, New Zealand, with my mom who travelled all the way from Norway to visit me after not seeing each other for six months! We embarked on a two-week road trip across the South Island, exploring breathtaking places like Abel Tasman, Lake Tekapo, and more. However, Franz Josef took us by surprise and stole our hearts. From the morning hike captured in the photo, to the exhilarating helicopter ride, spotting kiwis at the wildlife centre, and ending the day with a mesmerising glow-worm tour, it truly became one of our favourite days. The people we met and the stunning nature surrounding us made it even more special. A day we'll cherish forever! Absolutely, Elise! And a big thank you to GO Rentals car rental company for making it so convenient for us to explore and experience all of this! We are truly grateful for the amazing service they provided us throughout the entire road trip.˝

I took this photo while waiting to enter the tunnel to Milford Sound. We travelled with 4 adults and a baby, and this car was the perfect size. Great car, great price, great company. GO Rentals are our first and only choice for NZ rentals.˝

It was right at the beginning of our journey from Queenstown to Milford sounds - our celebratory trip for our 4 year anniversary. We were so happy to have a 4x4 and cruising around the South Island. Every stop warranted a photograph and the mountains were just incredible. Thanks so much for such an amazing trip travelling in pure style and luxury with fuel cost effective cars. We will use GO any opportunity around NZ.˝

We had just arrived in Dunedin that morning, picked up our rental which was a super fast transaction as we had used the app and uploaded all our info into there! 40 mins later we were standing on St Clair Beach taking selfies and then hanging out in one of the restaurants along the waterfront for lunch!˝

GO with Confidence: New Zealand Driving Tips

Let's be honest, most companies put a whole lot of stuff on their 'mission page' to talk about how great they are. We prefer action over talk so you can make up your own mind.

  • International licences:
    Overseas visitors do not require an International Driving Permit to drive in New Zealand. Generally, a full, unrestricted international licence allows you to drive in New Zealand. You must adhere to the conditions of your licence while driving in New Zealand. If your licence is not in English, you must acquire an accurate, NZTA approved translation before driving in New Zealand.
  • Winter driving:
    Roads can become snowy and icy during winter in New Zealand. It's a great idea to carry snow chains in your vehicle, especially on the South Island.
  • Toll roads:
    New Zealand has 3 toll roads, all located on the North Island in the vicinity of Auckland and Tauranga. With our Total Road Care package, you do not need to worry about paying for toll roads in your GO Rentals car.
  • Phone reception:
    When travelling through rural New Zealand, you should always be prepared to be without phone reception. Download your maps ahead of time.
  • Unsealed roads:
    Another quirk of rural areas in New Zealand is gravel roads. If you find yourself on a gravel road, take it slow and keep an eye out for potholes.
