Uber is not nationwide in NZ. Major cities like Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Wellington and Christchurch have Uber drivers
Car rental
Highly recommended
Public transportation
Urban Areas: Major cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch offer buses and, in Auckland, a commuter train network. Auckland’s AT HOP card and Wellington’s Snapper card provide easy payment options for buses, trains, and ferries. Christchurch’s bus system is efficient but lacks rail services.
Intercity Travel: Long-distance buses like InterCity connect cities and towns, offering affordable travel. Train options are limited to the Northern Explorer between Auckland and Wellington.
Rural Areas: Public transport is sparse in rural regions, making car rentals the most practical option for exploring remote areas.
Ferries: Ferries are vital for connecting islands and coastal areas, such as the Interislander ferry between the North and South Islands.
