International Drivers

Driving is a great way to see our beautiful country! However, there are a few things that you may not be used to when driving in New Zealand. For example:

  • we drive on the left side of the road
  • we have a unique give way rule at intersections
  • hilly, narrow or winding roads mean that your journey may take longer than you expect.

Make sure you have a safe and enjoyable journey – please take a few minutes to read this before starting out.
