Taking the kid who is 7 years old and the mother-in-law who is 72 years old to North Island and South Island during the Spring Festival. The old people are not used to western food, can we bring instant noodles or vacuum-packed pickles and air-conditioned seasonings ? New Zealand Q&A
Hi, fellow passengers transferring in Guangzhou. If you are transferring domestically from Guangzhou to New Zealand, do you go through customs in Guangzhou? Do you go through security again after you come out? How do you transfer your luggage ? New Zealand Q&A
Highway 1 and 7 are partially closed. There are aftershocks. Be cautious of falling rocks on the highway. Are there any plans to come to Christchurch tomorrow or the day after ? New Zealand Q&A
What is the so-called free glowworm cave in Hokitika? I read some travel guides that say it's just an open-air one, how can you see glowworms then ? New Zealand Q&A
How about the hotels near Christchurch Airport? We're leaving by plane at 8 am and would like to stay nearby. Could anyone recommend some options ? New Zealand Q&A
Hi Vincent Wan, how long does it take to drive from Christchurch to FOX? I am driving from FOX to Christchurch and my flight is at 8:00pm tonight. I am wondering if I will make it on time ? New Zealand Q&A
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to take a taxi from Emperor Town to the airport at 5 am? We haven't arrived in Queenstown yet, so I don't know the situation. Our flight is at 7:30 am, so we need to get to the airport very early! I'd appreciate any advice. (We have to return our rental car the day before, from a local car hire company, and they only have working hours for returns.) ? New Zealand Q&A
Feeling nervous. We will depart from Hong Kong on February 1st. If there are no delays, we should arrive in Auckland around 7:30 am on February 2nd, and then fly to Christchurch around 11:30 am. We will need to go through immigration, transfer to the airport, and recheck our boarding passes during the layover. I'm not sure if we will have enough time ? New Zealand Q&A
@Star, there are no restrictions, but I suggest you also go to the United States for a while. If you get tired of New Zealand and Australia, you can leave. Eating steak and drinking milk every day can get boring. Anyway, the plane tickets are refundable, so we can be happy no matter what. We won't go back, because going back would just add burden to the country. There's a shortage of masks in the country now, and we can't even buy them. We won't go back, so we can give the masks to those who really need them. It's also a support for this new pneumonia outbreak ? New Zealand Q&A
I added an extra day in Auckland and wanted to rent the car for an extra day. The car rental company quoted me 120 NZD because the extra day was over 24 hours. But I wanted to say that I didn't exceed 24 hours the day before. Then a woman came and said she would give me a discount, but in the end, she said it would cost 600 RMB, which was even more expensive than before. I was so drunk that I didn't even want to rent it anymore. I wonder if you guys have encountered such things and how you handled them ? New Zealand Q&A
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
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
Today the car was scratched by a tree branch, the mark is not deep but quite long, stretching from both doors to the rear bumper. I wonder if this kind of scratch is considered as car damage during the assessment at the car shop? And how much would it cost approximately ? New Zealand Q&A
On Zhihu, I saw that people in New Zealand usually exceed the speed limit by about 10%. If tourists don't exceed the speed limit, they will be considered slow, and even someone has been forced to stop. I want to ask people who have been there about the actual situation. Is it a big problem to drive at 100 km/h honestly ? New Zealand Q&A
Are there speed cameras on the road? Or are fines issued on the spot? Just passed through a small town and was asked to pay 50, there was a speed camera and I was going about 75 when I passed it. Will they send the fine to the rental car company later ? New Zealand Q&A
