Self Drive travel gives you complete independence from air, coach and ski bus schedules and allows you more flexibility for sightseeing – you can travel at your own pace and stop where ever you like.

New Zealand roads are in general very good, however most ski area access roads are unsealed and relatively steep. Depending on the weather conditions and the vehicle type chosen, you may need to fit snow chains.
