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

I depart from Shanghai in the early morning of January 24th. Can the handsome guys and beautiful girls who have recently departed before me please share what you brought for the customs declaration?

Did you bring the thick fleece-lined kind or the thin sun-protective kind for spring and summer ? New Zealand Q&A

I have a question. I parked in the Wilson Oakland Central District for 20 dollars from 4:00 PM to 8:00 the next day. I paid. However, the next day, I won't be able to pick up my car at 8:00, it will be around 10:00. The machine doesn't allow me to pay for the extra 2 hours in advance. What should I do ? 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
Please consult friends with driving experience in New Zealand. After renting a car in New Zealand, only the renter can drive the rented vehicle. If the accompanying person also has a New Zealand driving qualification, how to apply for a driving permit with the car rental company? (I heard that insurance will not compensate if a traffic accident occurs while driving without permission from the car rental company). Thank you ? 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
Hallo zusammen, angeblich werde ich am 2.04 in Auckland ankommen und plane, am Nachmittag des 2.05 umzusteigen und nach Christchurch zu fliegen. Ich habe gehört, dass die Sicherheit in Auckland nicht sehr gut ist. Wenn ich in der Nähe des Sky Tower in Queen Street in Auckland übernachten würde, wäre die Sicherheitslage gut? Wissen Sie, ob jemand schon einmal eine solche Erfahrung gemacht hat? Vielen Dank ? New Zealand Q&A
Can anyone please advise if driving from Wanaka to Queenstown on the Crown Range Road is not covered by insurance? Google automatically routes me to the Crown Range Road. Should I be driving on State Highway 6 instead ? 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
En esta ocasión, también me daba miedo no llevar comida. En Australia, tiré todo el chocolate cuando pasé por aduana. Un amigo mío, más valiente, llevó pepino chino y dulces a Nueva Zelanda y logró entrar sin problemas. Cuando le preguntaron si llevaba bananos o carne, él dijo que no y entró ? New Zealand Q&A
