It is not recommended to drive to the fjord, it's not worth it. You can take a bus from Queenstown for $139 round trip, which includes a boat tour. Driving back and forth would take 9-10 hours, and there aren't many good views along the way.

It takes 4 hours to drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound. If you leave at 7 o'clock in the morning, you can only book the noon cruise. The midday sunlight is too strong, and the photos taken are not stunning enough for the circle of friends. It is recommended to stay in Te Anau the night before, so that you can leave early and arrive in about 2 hours, and you can book the morning cruise. The morning light is the most suitable for Milford Sound. You can only take photos to this extent on the top of the boat at noon.

So suggest people rent cars with credit cards and make sure your credit cards have rental car insurance. My card has it, so I don't have to buy any collision insurance. After getting home, I just fill out an online claim form, upload all the photos, documents, and credit card records when I rented the car, etc. Two weeks later, I received an email saying the claim was approved, and all the windshield fees that the rental car company deducted from me were returned to me. They asked me how I wanted them to send the money to me ? New Zealand Q&A

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if I need to buy full insurance when renting a car. I noticed that full insurance is very expensive in Queenstown. I am planning to go to New Zealand at the end of August, is it considered the peak tourist season? Do I need to book hotels and tickets in advance ? New Zealand Q&A

The service staff took a lot of pictures when I picked up the car. I thought they were professional, so I didn't take any pictures (besides, I thought that since I had full insurance, there wouldn't be any problems if an accident happened). Today, when I returned the car, a different lady looked at it very carefully and found a little damage to the paint. She didn't compare it to the pictures when I picked up the car. She just emphasized that I didn't need to make any payments, but asked me to sign. I wondered if the insurance company was playing some kind of trick ? New Zealand Q&A

Can the whole electronic visa passport be scanned (all blank pages are scanned)? Or just the used pages (such as the pages with exit stamps)? In addition, do you need to scan the new passport if the previous passport has many transit stamps and visas? If scanned, do you also need to scan the whole passport, including blank pages? I am a dependent visa holder ? New Zealand Q&A

Apply for an electronic visa to New Zealand online, fill in the name according to the requirements, and find that the displayed name is opposite to the passport. If this is issued, the name should also be reversed. How do you fill in when you apply? For example, the visa is XU ZHANG, and the passport is ZHANG XU. Or do you need to reverse the order of the name when applying for the visa to keep it consistent with the order of the passport ? New Zealand Q&A
