If you can book a motorhome, it is still recommended that you book a motorhome. The travel time is free, there are also many motorhome campsites, and it is also solid. We felt very relaxed during our 15-day motorhome trip in the South Island. There is no need to worry about whether the accommodation can keep up. Motorhomes come in many varieties. compatriots who are not very familiar with right-hand drive and especially dare not drive large cars can choose smaller ones. There are cooking things on the car, which is very convenient ? 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
