Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    We’re going on a trip with the family soon (roadtrip around NZ), and will be driving a rental from Budget.

    However, I am flying down a couple of days after my partner and her family, but I will be driving once I am down there. I have just read the Budget website, and it mentions that all additional drivers must be present at the time of picking up the vehicle.

    I was wondering if anyones had experience of either:

    • Being added as an additional driver when not present (showing them a copy of your drivers license at time of pickup) or,
    • Being added at the Customer service kiosk later.

      No but I would think that if you discuss it with them ahead of time you will be able to get yourself added at kiosk.

        Yeah I would expect its probably about sighting the drivers license & whatnot; but give 'em a bell and see what they say.

        What parts of New Zealand are you hitting up, and would you like any recommendations of things to do & see while you’re on the road?

        I’m a massive road-trip fan; my partner & I are working through all major (<15) State Highways, we’ve got only 3, 3A & 4 to do in the North Island, and SH1 south of Ashburton, SH6 south of Queenston, and SH8 from Alexandra south to go I think. Actually, i’ve done SH7 many times, but she has yet to experience it.
