Teacher Xia Feng, Senior Consultant for Studying Abroad of New Zealand Education Alliance, said that there are long-distance bus services every day in New Zealand. Most destinations send trains several times a day, and generally do not book tickets in advance, but in remote areas, there is only one train every day, so it is necessary to book tickets in advance. Larger cities also provide trips between major scenic spots and urban sightseeing buses, and there are guides on the buses to explain the scenic spots along the way. In New Zealand, buses provide services to the north and south islands, and there are various preferential packages. The specified service periods are 14, 22, 3 1, so as to save tourists' travel expenses. There is a bus company that provides a few days' tour service.

As long as you have a valid driver's license in your own country (if it is in Chinese, you need to bring an English translator) or an international driver's license, you can legally drive in New Zealand as long as 12 months, but many car rental companies will require car renters to buy accident insurance, which is also a guarantee for companies and individuals.
