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!
