Driving in New Zealand

Copyright: Renny Rent-A-Car. Renny Rent-A-Car, Christchurch Car Hire, Rental Cars in Christchurch

Most New Zealand roads are two lane and often narrow. Some roads are unsealed and have no surface markings; some also change from sealed to unsealed—look out for road signs that indicate this. If you can, plan your journey to avoid unsealed roads.

Unsealed roads can be dangerous and affect your control of the vehicle. They are often narrow and have gravel verges. Reduce your speed to 40 to 50 kilometres per hour or slower.

Drive in established tracks where the surface is harder if possible but keep left. When approaching an oncoming vehicle slow down to pass. Road dust could obscure your view of the road ahead.

New Zealand in an agricultural country with many farm animals. You may meet sheep or cows being moved by a farmer. Slow down and stop when you meet the animals—let them go past you, or move slowly behind, and take instructions from the farmer. Should you injure a farm animal tell the nearest farmer.

About Christchurch

Christchurch has all the amenities of a modern city, but is still very much a regional centre serving the rich rural hinterland, with a laid-back pace to life.

Its Gothic revival cathedral, grey-stone nineteenth century buildings, tree-lined avenues and extensive leafy parks have preserved the grace and charm of an earlier era.

Alive with colour, atmosphere and world-class attractions, Christchurch is a graceful city that values its culture and heritage, but offers a year round range of fresh and exciting adventures and activities.

Christchurch also has New Zealand's finest purpose-built Convention Centre (which caters for 10 to 2,500 people).

You will also find the Christchurch Town Hall (the main venue for performing arts) and the Westpac Trust centre, a multi-purposed indoor venue for major sporting and entertainment events.

The Garden City is the gateway to the South Island. The city considered to be more English than a city in England! A city of funtime and cultural festivals, including:

  • Ride the tram
  • Punt on the graceful River Avon
  • Buy your souvenirs at the weekend Craft Market
  • Ride on the gondola to obtain panorama views across the city to the Southern Alps
  • Experience the Antarctic Centre
  • Gamble at the Casino
  • Stroll through the Botanic Gardens
  • Reminisce at the Canterbury Museum and at Air Force World
  • Ski at the nearby ski-fields
  • View the whales and swim with the dolphins at Kaikoura
