New Zealandis by some measures one of the most car dependent nations in the world, on par with theUnited States, depending on the metrics used, with one of the highest costs for automobiles.

You should book both your coach and accommodation in advance, preferably a few weeks in advance to let you plan around busy days. The long distance trains are good and more comfortable than coaches, but only run on
