Independence offers so much convenience. Your time is valuable and the best way to make the most of it when you’re on holiday is to travel at your own pace and on your own schedule. Our car relocation is a simple and efficient way for you to do just that.
Choosing car relocation means you can take your time on the track, there’s no meeting time or backtracking required. It’s safe, secure and we take care of the insurance arrangements with your rental car company. For groups, it’s also more cost-effective and efficient than the bus, plus you get the added bonus of a fresh pair of clothes (and snacks) waiting for you at the end of your walk!
TOO EASY!

Some companies outside of Queenstown aren’t so familiar with Easyhike and our relocation service, but this isn’t a cause for concern when you’re booking as we take care of the details directly with them closer to your walk.

Routeburn Track Car Relocation
It takes a lot of time to organise each and every car relocation. To enable our top notch service we have a standard start and finish time for Routeburn Track car relocations of 1pm.
Please have your car parked and ready for relocation by 1pm on the day you start walking. If this is too early to suit your plans, you can choose our ‘late start’ option when booking for an additional $15 fee.
We schedule our drivers to relocate your vehicle so it’s ready for you to collect after 1 pm on your last day. If you’d like your vehicle before 1 pm, it’s no problem – just make sure to select the ‘early finish’ option when booking for an additional $15 fee.
Walking the Routeburn Track in one day? Due to the additional effort needed by our drivers for a single day relocation, a $60 surcharge on top of the relocation fee applies.
