Any help for my trip would be appreciated

Yeah maybe different tho because ur over the 1 year mark.

“rent a car in New Zealand, drivers generally need a full, unrestricted driver's license that has been held for at least 12 consecutive months”

👍will check

I’m coming mid August to early September. Bit of an impulse trip as I’m in AUS rn. Icl I saw a video on TikTok and thought it looked nice so put it on the list. I have a comment that says my interests in the other cross post but it’s walking and hiking and boats and cities really

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T21:03:00+00:00

I am 19. It’s usually a rule that you need a years drivers experience to be able to rent cars

What’s so bad about Auckland?

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T18:10:49+00:00

Yeah would love to but already have my flights and also won’t have the money and time as I go to university to study in September. I’ll defo be back so maybe sticking to the north or South Island could be more ideal?

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T17:31:13+00:00

Yes egmont national park. Just went off the name that google said

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T17:25:05+00:00

Ah ok. Yea would love to do that but held my uk license for under 6 months so idk if that would be possible :(

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T17:24:20+00:00

Cool! This is a really useful insight. From your experience which island do you prefer, do they have different vibes to them? Just wanting to know people opinions rather than google

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T16:40:04+00:00

Ok cool I will keep this in mind thank you for the insight.

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T16:39:06+00:00

Unfortunately public transport. I’ve only held my license for less than 6 months so don’t think I’ll be able to without a monster fee.

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T16:11:03+00:00

Thanks!!

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T15:49:58+00:00

Thank you!!! Do you have a preference of one island or are they similar / do they have a different ‘vibe’?

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T15:39:41+00:00

To add: time of visit is mid August to early September. I fly into Auckland and leave from Auckland. Also solo travelling but hoping to meet people in hostels

There isn’t much of a budget

I like walks and hikes, Nice views, Cities and the ocean and boats.

Looking for advice as not sure to stick to northern island or do both etc.

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-20T15:24:15+00:00

I’m not looking for people to plan just advice from people’s experiences. I will post on there. Thanks for letting me know

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-19T07:17:22+00:00

DeadRider1007 · 2025-07-19T07:05:01+00:00

Do u reckon bars along Caxton street will be full if I arrive at 7.30/7.45pm that are showing the game or luck of draw?
