Relocation cars, law and ethics: Legally if you see an animal in the middle of the road (lets say a mum and her ducklings), you are supposed to carry on driving straight through or over them without swerving to miss them if you can’t safely stop on the side of the road (no animal rights here). What if it’s a cow?? What does the insurance say??? This could be a great thing to find out…….any ideas??
If you’re planning on driving a relocation car or campervan in New Zealand for the first time, these tips will assist you in understanding the rules and regulations of safe driving practices and help you have a safe and enjoyable vacation.

Speed limits are normally clearly posted by the road side.
New Zealand is blessed with gorgeous little winding roads as well as open stretches that go for miles. Every type of road in New Zealand has its good points and its bad.
If you’re driving in rural areas, watch out for gravel verges, especially on corners. Some isolated roads are unsealed and use gravel as the surface. In these cases, drive slowly.
I’ve had many questions from our Transfercar drivers about what licence they need to drive our vehicles. Here is a
great article about New Zealand driving regulations that will answer many of your queries.
You can legally drive in New Zealand for up to 12 months if you have either a current driver’s licence from your home country or an International Driving Permit (IDP). After 12 months you are required to convert to a New Zealand licence. This applies to each visit to New Zealand.
In New Zealand all drivers, including visitors from other countries, must carry their licence or permit at all times when driving. You will only be able to drive the same types of vehicles you are licensed to drive in your home country. The common legal age to rent a car in New Zealand is 21 years.

New Zealand Rental car companies have joined the multitude of Rugby World Cup hopefuls as the hype and anticipation of this global sporting event continues to rise.
With the RWC looming ever closer (9 September – 23 October 2011), rental car companies are pushing for customers to book cars and campervans early, touting the issue of lack of car availability due to the estimated 85,000 international visitors expected to arrive in New Zealand specifically for the event.
This is a good sign for Transfercar as many visitors are expected to travel around the country during this time with a number leaving their cars at major airport locations.
