Are we allowed to freedom camp or are we only able to visit official camping grounds?
No, freedom camping is not permitted in many places in New Zealand and our vehicles are not self contained.
You should only camp in permitted camping areas. These sites include specific freedom camping spots, DOC camping grounds and private camping grounds.
These areas will provide different levels of facilities depending on cost. All will provide a toilet.

Yes. All drivers are required to have a valid driver’s licence from his or her respective country. If it is not in English you must also present an International Driving Permit or a suitable translation. Licence must be valid for the entire rental period. We expect to see a licence on pick up in order to rent an Adventure Legend vehicle. We do not accept photocopies or digital scanned copies.

Yes.
All drivers must be present at the time of pick up to present their physical driver’s licence and to sign the rental agreement.
Electronic versions of drivers licences can not be accepted.

Our protection plans cover you for all third party vehicle or property damage. However, like any cover, there are exclusions. Please see our daily cover option here. These options can also be seen during the booking process.
