Returning the car to a different location and transporting it by ship may not be very cost-effective, but driving from Auckland to Wellington is also considered returning the car to a different location. Then, picking up another car in Picton and returning it in Queenstown is also considered returning the car to a different location. If the cost difference is not too big, maybe it's still more convenient to take the car by ship to the South Island, right ? New Zealand Q&A
