Queenstown is a scenic town situated on the south Island of New Zealand, nestled on the edge of crystal clear Lake Wakatipu and  surrounded by majestic mountains. This lake and alpine resort town offers visitors a wide range of activities all year round, including caving, hiking and white water rafting in summer to heli-skiing and snowboarding in winter.

A car rental from DriveAway Holidays will give you the chance to enjoy the best of Queenstown and to travel to the surrounding natural wonderland at your leisure!

Drive a Hire Car in Queenstown

Queenstown has the reputation of being the adventure sports capital of the world, but there are still plenty of activities here for those who like the quieter aspects of life. Collect your hire car from Queenstown from the airport or one of the downtown depots and you set the pace of your visit. Park your hire car at downtown Queenstown and enjoy any one of the fantastic eateries and bars, or shop to your hearts content. Take a trip on the Skyline Gondola for spectacular views of the Coronet Peak and the Remarkables mountain range. The scenery surrounding Queenstown is not to be missed, with lakes, mountains and vineyards. Take your car rental from Queenstown to Glenorchy, which is reputed to be one of the world’s best scenic drives.

For the more adventurous, Queenstown offers just about any kind of adventure sport: bungy jumping, heli-skiing, caving, ski-diving, snowboarding, hang-gliding, mountain climbing, kayaking to name only a few. A car rental is a definite must to get from one activity to the next! Drive from Queenstown to the Fox and the Franz Josef Glaciers in the Westland National Park, where you can take a guided walking tour over the glaciers or perhaps a scenic flight to take in the magnitude of the area. The most popular drive would have to be to Milford Sound which is a huge day trip but perfectly do-able with a hire car from DriveAway Holidays!
