Question 1

How does Interislander ferry booking work with relocations?

Accepted Answer

Interislander ferries sell out early and spaces are limited, but suppliers pre-book ferry crossings for relocations. You don't need to worry about booking the ferry yourself - it's included in your relocation and the supplier will provide all crossing details and timing requirements.

Question 2

When do Queenstown vehicle movements happen?

Accepted Answer

Vehicles move to Queenstown before ski season (May-September) and before summer biking season (October-April). You'll find deals heading to Queenstown in April-May and September-October as rental companies position vehicles for these peak tourism periods.

Question 3

Why are there always relocations heading north?

Accepted Answer

Most international tourists fly into Auckland and travel south, creating a constant need to relocate vehicles back north. This means frequent opportunities for northbound relocations from Christchurch, Queenstown, and other South Island locations back to Auckland.

Question 4

Can I take scenic routes during Queenstown to Christchurch relocations?

Accepted Answer

Many suppliers allow scenic detours via Lake Tekapo, Franz Joseph Glacier, and Arthur's Pass on the Queenstown-Christchurch route. Always confirm route flexibility with your supplier, and note that some mountain passes may have seasonal restrictions or require chains in winter.

Question 5

Are relocations allowed to Milford Sound?

Accepted Answer

Check your rental agreement as some suppliers restrict travel to Milford Sound due to the winding mountain road and remote location. If permitted, ensure you have emergency supplies and check road conditions, especially in winter when avalanche risks and closures are common.

Question 6

What's the speed limit for campervans in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

Speed limits are 50km/h in towns, 100km/h on open roads. Some rental vehicles may have speed limiters - check with your supplier.

Question 7

Can I extend my relocation if I want to explore more?

Accepted Answer

Extensions may be possible depending on the next booking.
