Take to the Road There’s a lot to be said for having your own wheels on holiday. You can drive down that inviting country lane or that cute village you’ve spied. Driving in a foreign country is not so different to driving in New Zealand. You soon get used to driving on the other side, and the major roads let you cover long distances in good time. If you opt for the minor roads, you’ll avoid the tolls and see much more of the countryside. These days you don’t even have to worry about those relationship-testing moments where the navigator mutters “I think that was our exit…” as you race past an off ramp. For a little extra, you can have a slightly bossy but very knowledgeable GPS system that’ll tell you exactly how to get to where you’re going. There’s a huge range of car types on offer, and if you’re worried about your carbon footprint you can even opt for a more eco-friendly diesel or hybrid model. If you’re going to be on the road for a longer period of time, you should consider a lease arrangement – you’ll get a brand new car with full factory warranty plus the usual benefits of a rental car such as unlimited kms and comprehensive insurance. Once all that’s sorted, you’re ready to hit the road! 971 1716 1147 1328 815 690 732 1464 680 1076 843 1864 398 525 793 219 746 1259 151 894 1674 1104 1286 657 764 Dubrovnik 1907 1654 1864 Frankfurt 440 546 398 1475 1475 1490 1398 Freiburg 682 809 525 1490 270 270 1597 1064 617 1921 944 229 954 600 1360 575 232 393 905 455 540 1284 715 896 402 318 308 423 873 655 570 1299 861 974 152 576 584 784 923 725 1200 1016 935 277 531 1043 349 678 1407 939 1082 441 510 838 144 873 435 548 311 1343 390 426 494 175 754 977 1730 1160 1342 788 754 295 429 453 764 410 1170 376 743 Geneva 984 1114 793 1398 575 318 Luxembourg City 410 762 219 1597 232 308 576 Munich 824 585 746 1064 393 423 584 531 Opatija 1336 1097 1259 617 905 873 784 1043 510 Rotterdam 74 690 151 1921 455 655 923 349 838 1343 Salzburg 971 732 894 944 540 570 725 678 144 390 977 1284 1299 1200 1407 Split 1716 1464 1674 229 873 426 1730 754 Vienna 1147 680 1104 954 715 861 1016 939 435 494 1160 295 764 Zagreb 1328 1076 1286 600 896 974 935 1082 548 175 1342 429 410 376 Zürich 815 843 1360 402 152 277 441 311 754 788 453 1170 743 657 341 606 657 814 986 857 857 Copenhagen 36 74 1097 1336 585 824 762 Copenhagen 410 1114 984 809 682 546 440 1654 1907 764 202 656 202 Brussels 656 Amsterdam Berlin Distances are approximate, in kilometres and based on direct routes.
