+Camp fees

Not a cheap holiday.

Most are diesel.. You also pay the road user charges for the distance you travel...
They are a fun holiday.. Have done a few relocations from CHC to AKL..not for a few years tho.
We are thinking of doing one around the end of Feb... Get a van load of that lovely Marlborough wine on the way 😀

We do a relocate CHC - AKL once a year..well worth it if you like driving.

Nearly up 2 dollars for the year, certainly not two buck chuck..where to get the money for Christmas presents and the holidays...thinking I will sell an apple share or two instead, merry christmas!

Don't you mean $300+ a day?

I don’t go on holiday to save money !

I go on holidays to enjoy life 😀. Before claiming this is an expensive mode of travel in peak season, look at how much it would cost you to stay in hotels/motels for the same time. If you can get accommodation that is. Particularly if you want to visit Central Otago and Milford Sounds or upper NI

Yes indeed Iceman. Compare apples with apples. People should check the daily cost of a decent hotel / motel in Queenstown for a family of six, (not the price for a small unit for 2) and add in the daily cost to hire a car. When you do that you'll realise $300 a day is not too bad.
