Other transport and rentals

In New Zealand we're lucky enough to have numerous forms of transport to choose from that will get you from location to location with ease. Land, water and air transport all have benefits, so you can view New Zealand’s beautiful scenery whether you’re travelling by train, ferry, plane, car, bus or even motorbike!

AA Travel has all the need-to-know information for travelling the country, numerous itineraries and road trips, recommended operators and the best form of travel for your personal needs.

Getting around

Motorbikes and other vehicles

Travelling overland will have you surrounded by the country’s stunning landscape and scenery. A multitude of options is available, from trains and bus tours to hiring a rental car or buying your own vehicle.

Find motorbike, motorhome and campervan rentals at the AA Travel website. They also have information on public transport - trains and buses.

Boats, ferries and cruises

As New Zealand is an island nation, ferries, boats and yachts are important modes of transport. Most Kiwis live within 30 minutes of a beach so the sea is an important part of our lives.

For those on a budget or seeking adventure, there are plenty of kayaking and canoeing opportunities. If you’re after a more relaxed New Zealand experience, there are cruises available as well.

Find ferry services, water taxis and cruises available throughout New Zealand's lakes, harbours and rivers at the AA Travel website.
