Self-drive in New Zealand
There's nothing quite like the freedom of a self-drive holiday: avoid waiting for local buses, taxis or trains; pile as much luggage as you like into the boot; and travel at your own pace.
A self-drive holiday, sometimes referred to as a fly-drive, can be an extremely rewarding experience, especially because of the vast freedom it affords you to reach places you would otherwise not bother visiting. Furthermore, and contrary to some people's beliefs, it's not as daunting as you might imagine. In fact self-drive tours of Alaska, Australia, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Namibia, New Zealand, South Africa and even Oman, are all ideal because those countries have good roads and infrastructures.
In short, driving holidays offer flexibility and are perfect if you want to get a real feel for a place and then have the option to stay for as long or as short as you like.
Only a few select countries Audley operates in lend themselves well to a self-drive holiday. These tend to be countries that are well-developed, have a good road network and are regarded as safe. Choose one of our self-drive destinations to find out more:
