Driver’s licence translated within a couple of hours online!

Posted on October 29, 2011 by noel in Driving, Transport, Travel Law, Travel Tips

Due to stricter rules being imposed by transport agencies and police, foreign drivers licenses must be translated into English, otherwise rental car companies cannot release your Transfercar relocation vehicle to you (because it gets impounded and fines given). I have been sent this link from one of our trusted rental companies THL, who passed on a quick and efficient way of getting an official translation and wanted to share this info with you guys: Scan both sides of your license and email it to:...Read More

Mini relocation holidays: The new way to travel

Posted on October 13, 2011 by noel in News, Sights & Attractions, Transport, Travel Tips

Often relocations (as they are called in New Zealand) or standbys (as they are often called in Australia), are seen as short term travel options that get you from A to B far cheaper than taking on a regular rental deal. Over the past few months I’ve begun to see the relocating trend change. As the recession has passed and people have become more budget conscious, transferring vehicles have become more popular.

RWC New Zealand As the Rugby World cup kicks in, more questions are being raised about whether there will be any relocation vehicles, or any rental vehicles available at all for that matter, and if so from where. To be honest, I really do wish I had a crystal ball (as do many other businesses I’m sure) but I don’t (otherwise I would be filthy rich and not sitting at my desk right now :)). With an estimated 80,000 visitors said to be arriving into New Zealand for the World Cup Tournament, we can only...Read More

How to Get from Cairns to Darwin

Posted on August 4, 2011 by noel in Transport, Travel Tips

by Brooke WhyGoAustralia | August 2nd, 2011 Some of the major cities in the country of Australia are quite a feat to get to and between when not taking a plane. Cairns and Darwin are both located in the northern section of the country and are two such major cities that many would like to know how to get from one to the other. It makes sense, after all, to try and hit the two when already in the northern part of the country, a far cry from Sydney and Melbourne. Obviously, the time limited can benefit from a...Read More
