Roads in New Zealand are generally of a good quality, though those in more rural regions cannot always be relied on. Mountainous passes can make journey times far longer than expected, so forward planning is key. Bus services cover the islands and offer cheap, friendly and comfortable services to towns and cities throughout the country. Taxi and local bus services operate within all the towns and cities, and a trolleybus service runs through Wellington. Car hire services are widespread.

While rail services are available and cover a good deal of the country at affordable prices and in comfortable style, the clear reason to use trains in New Zealand is for the scenic delights on offer. Several main routes run through the country with the main purpose of showing all the natural beauty that the country has to offer, and these can provide a relaxing and stunning experience.

Internal flights are available and run regularly through New Zealand, with both large airlines and smaller companies offering services at varying prices.

Ferry services between the islands are regular, reliable and modern, as well as affordable. They are the main way in which both locals and tourists get between the islands of New Zealand and should be booked in advance if taking a vehicle, just in case.
