Our fifth stop on our road trip from Auckland to Queenstown. Such a great car and it made sightseeing so easy!˝
Our epic little Waiheke trip, we got to go where we wanted on the island, see what we wanted to see with freedom. So happy to have hired a car.˝
My friend and I went on a road trip over both islands, and this image was during our drive from Rotorua to Coromandel. We absolutely loved the freedom we had with our car to stop and explore whenever we wanted, whether that was to admire the beautiful views at the beach, get some snacks (freshly made pies!!), or just explore the local towns. I loved driving in New Zealand and can’t wait to come back!!˝
An “oh what a feeling.. Toyota” moment captured at Mt Taranaki after our GO Rentals Toyota Yaris got us here! Unreal scenery!˝
