About Auckland

Auckland has a population of over 1.2 million, which is about one third of New Zealand's entire population, and is one of the few cities in the world to have harbours on two separate bodies of water.

Auckland is regularly voted one of the best lifestyle cities in the world. The cosmopolitan urban centre is complemented by great escapes within half an hour of downtown.

Auckland is a water paradise with its many islands, harbours, and beaches. There are a huge range of activities to do, not only in the water but also in and around Auckland.

Auckland is also a geographical wonder, with 48 volcanic cones and two ancient rain forested mountain ranges.

Driving in New Zealand

You can legally drive in New Zealand for up to 12 months if you have either a current driver's licence from your home country or an International Driving Permit (IDP). After 12 months you are required to convert to a New Zealand licence. This applies to each visit to New Zealand.

In New Zealand all drivers, including visitors from other countries, must carry their licence or permit at all times when driving. You will only be able to drive the same types of vehicles you are licensed to drive in your home country.

Driving in New Zealand is not difficult, we have some tips here to make it even easier so there are no surprises for you.

Sky Tower, Auckland

• Driving is always on the left-hand side of the road.
• Remember the 'give way to the right' rule. This includes giving way to right-turning traffic if you are turning left at an intersection.
• The maximum speed on any open road is 100km/h. The maximum speed in urban areas is 50km/h. Adjust your speed as conditions demand.
• Don't underestimate driving times. Although distances may seem short, New Zealand roads often include hilly, narrow or winding terrain, which slow down your journey. If you're used to driving in the city, take care when driving on the open country roads, and watch out for single-lane bridges.
• You must always wear a safety belt, both in the front and back seats – it's the law.
• Do not drink and drive in New Zealand - drinking and driving laws are strictly enforced.
• Most open roads are single lane each way, except for motorways coming into larger cities (Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch).
• In winter some roads may be treacherous due to ice or snow, particularly around mountain passes. Look out for signs indicating slippery surfaces in winter and drive slowly - do not brake suddenly on ice. In some cases chains may be required. Make sure you're familiar with how to fit them.
