Self Drive, Your Way

If you like your travel with a bit of freedom, self-drive is a brilliant way to see New Zealand. With Par Excellence, you get the independence of the open road, backed by planning that keeps everything smooth around tee times, check-ins, and the little moments worth stopping for.

Simple, Flexible, and Built Around Your Itinerary

Self-driving lets you travel at your own pace, take the scenic route, and explore the country between rounds. We’ll help shape a route that makes sense, with realistic drive times, great stop suggestions, and a schedule that still feels relaxed. If you want a mix of golf, food, and scenery without feeling rushed, self-drive is often the sweet spot.

Better Vehicles, Better Cover, Better Value

To make self-drive easy and reliable, we’ve partnered with the largest car rental provider in the country to secure strong value and peace of mind.

Partner Supplier: Nationwide – Budget Car Rentals

That means:

  • Access to the largest range of vehicles, from comfortable cruisers to premium options
  • Great rates through our partnership
  • Clear insurance options and coverage so you know where you stand
  • Support and availability from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island

If you’re arriving internationally, travelling with clubs, or covering both islands, we’ll make sure the vehicle choice and pickup locations fit your itinerary properly.

The Par Excellence Touch (Without the Fuss)

Even on a self-drive journey, you’re not left to figure it out alone. We’ll align your transport with tee times, accommodation, and any off-course experiences, and everything is kept in your real-time itinerary app. If plans shift, we’re still here to help keep things running smoothly.
