Travelling in Queenstown with a Rental Car

There is simply no better way to explore Queenstown than having your own freedom in your own rental car. From the moment you wake up and start driving your hire car, until the moment the sun slips behind the mountains, Queenstown delivers full strength alpine scenery. You will want to stop frequently from your relaxing drive to soak in the scenery and your camera is going to be exhausted by the end of this rental car holiday.

If you've seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy, you're already familiar with some of Queenstown's most picturesque places. Rugged mountains, lush beech forests, golden hill country and Crystal clear waterways made Queenstown, Glenorchy and Arrowtown perfect for many middle-earth locations. Fans will recognise the Ford of Bruinen, Dimrill Dale, Ithilien, Isengard, Lothlorien, Amon Hen and the Pillars of the Kings.

Drive your hire car through the main street of Queenstown, Buckingham Street. It is a testament to the town's determination to preserve its illustrious past. Historic buildings house a stylish shopping and dining precinct. Pick up a directory of historic buildings from the museum and spend an afternoon exploring Arrowtown's unique history. In April and May, the town's trees are a magnificent sight - one of best autumn displays in the country.
