Routes and Pricing

We can drive you anywhere throughout the top of the South Island. Keep in mind that we are based in Murchison, and fare pricing is based on the round trip from there.

Pricing will be quoted based upon your needs. Stopovers up to 90 minutes are free, and a fee is charged per hour after that.
