Yes, you can drive on almost any road in New Zealand, no matter the type of road. However, we do recommend taking our Stress-Free Insurance when driving a lot on gravel roads or unsealed roads as then any damages caused by these rough roads is covered.

Also, have a look at this overview of the various types of roads in New Zealand and their quality. That will give you a better understanding of what kind of roads to expect in New Zealand.

There are only 3 roads in New Zealand you are not allowed to drive, these are the 3 restricted roads:

• Skippers Canyon Road near Queenstown

• Ball Hutt Road near Mt Cook

• 90 Mile Beach in Northland

Also, you must not - unless authorised by us - drive or take the campervan on any road, which is temporarily/permanently closed or restricted, or on beaches through streams, dams, rivers and floodwaters.
