Transfercar: our experience of renting a car for free in New Zealand

Write down this tip if you’re traveling on a budget:

In the early days when we were planning our project, we came across this collaborative system that allows us to rent a car, or a camper, free of charges. Since then, we tried to organize our schedule in a way that we could find opportunities to relocate cars for the rental companies in Transfercar — a great way to save money and help the companies at the same time.

In New Zealand, we drove from Queenstown to Christchurch, stopping in Lake Pukaki and in Mount Cook. We had two days to drive through the 373 miles paying only for the gas.

The system is very popular in New Zealand, Canada, the United States, and Australia. We highly recommend it for those traveling on a short budget. We had a great experience!
