You can rent a car from EZU Car Rental, which allows you to take the car across the island and Cook Strait. If you rent a car in the South Island, you can choose Christchurch, and return it in Auckland in the North Island. In the South Island, you need to take the Interislander ferry in Picton, and buy separate tickets for people and vehicles, with each person costing more than 300 RMB and each vehicle costing more than 800 RMB. Get off the ship in Wellington. All passengers and luggage can directly drive onto the ship, rest on the upper deck or deck after parking, and then get on the car directly and drive off the ship when the pier arrives. Most other car rental companies do not allow you to take the car across the island and strait, and you can only return the car at the pier, and then take a new car from the opposite pier, which is more cumbersome with luggage. Of course, you need to buy an extra ticket for the vehicle when you take the car across the island and strait, which is slightly more expensive.

I rent separately, which is more convenient.

This way the rent will be higher.

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.

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
