Exceptional New Zealand Self Drive Tours

This trip was superb. After my initial vague enquiry (ie “a week around the South Island”), Ben helped me decide where to start and end the trip, and what kinds of things to see. I checked, and Ben’s prices for activities and accommodation were not inflated….so he did not add a margin, and makes his money from the “wholesalers discount” which seemed very fair for the value he added. When our tour pickup did not show up at the allocated time, we called Ben and within 10 minutes he had it sorted….they were on the way, but slightly delayed! All of our party were impressed and will use Indulgence Tours again.

When we had a last minute change requiring a different sized rental car we really appreciated your hustle in arranging a new car after the rental car firm had told us a change was not possible. Your high service level and attention to detail is rare these days. Thanks again!

The trip provided by NZSelfDrive was fantastic, but what was out of this world and will be the reason we use them again was the fantastic customer service provided. I had a very bad bicycle accident about a third into our tour. Ben Neynens pulled out all of the stops to make changes on the fly to our reservations, cancel, book new places, etc. He helped my wife to find a place to stay while I was in the hospital. He actually had another very helpful family member that was physically near me by chance provide much needed and much appreciated additional help during my injury and resulting chaos. MUCH IMPRESSED and very satisfied. We are coming back to NZ to see all that we missed due to my injury – We’ll be using NZSelfDrive again for that trip! Looking forward! Thanks!!!!!!

We had a wonderful tour and we love NZ. The sites and sceneries were simply awesome! Some very good memories in beautiful lodges too. Food was excellent! The weather was for us not warm enough but we managed to buy warm clothes. Kiwis are extremely nice and charming and we will always remember their warm welcome. Thank you for organising our 25 days trip and maybe we will come back one day to enjoy again the best places we loved so much.

Ben is the ideal tour operator! He makes very helpful suggestions, very patient in understanding the group’s needs, and is very prompt with his answers when questions arise. During our trip, Ben was easy to contact when problems arose or changes had to be made with tours. No problem or question was too small or too big for him to handle. The highlights of our trip: The Hobbiton day tour, the very early walk to Lake Matheson, ATV drive in Franz Josef, drive from Franz Josef to Queenstown (Blue Waters, Mirror Lakes and The Remarkables really deserve their name), Canyon Swing in Queenstown. I would highly recommend Ben and NZSelfDrive Tour to those who are willing to go an adventure and see NZ in all its beauty! Be ready to swap drive time with other people in the group as the drives can be long, but you wont be disappointed with the routes that Ben plans for the trip.

NZ Selfdrive was fantastic! Since we had never traveled to New Zealand before and had group of 6 people, I wasn’t sure where to begin in booking a trip of the South Island. Ben was fantastic! He answered my many questions and provided lots of helpful information about locations and activities to suit our group, which included grandparents and two young children. We had so much fun and everyone was happy with the itinerary and activities. The packet of info provided was very helpful as it included travel times and restaurant ideas/activities/sights along our route. Best of all, Ben was very helpful when our daughter broke her arm just before we departed for our trip and we thought we better make some changes to our itinerary. Overall, we were amazed by New Zealand. It was the best vacation we have ever taken and we have NZ Selfdrive to thank for it.

Ben Neynens was our tour adviser and provided a fantastic service to us. From the moment we arrived in Christchurch, everything went according to plan and very smoothly. The suggested activities were ideal and suited our interests and levels of fitness, and we were absolutely amazed at the beauty of the South Island of New Zealand. Thank you Ben for your guidance and suggestions. They were very helpful and we had a wonderful holiday.

The service provided by both Ben and Meg initially for organizing the trip was fantastic, cities and towns picked on both the north and south island was exceptional. Their responses during the tour was also exceptional during times when you needed some confirmation on things.I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit New Zealand and only way to do it is to drive through it.., and look through their website for driving options, the driving was absolutely beautiful and only issue is you need to focus on driving and not on the scenery…

Our tour was fantastic, the tips for little stops while driving were great. We really enjoyed ourselves. All the stuff arranged worked just fine, great timings on Hobbiton & all the ferry crossings. The only thing we’d change would probably be the car hire company, it was bit of a hike from airport, long wait for the bus. But other than that perfect, we loved it ! Thank you Ben
