As sure as snow falls, skiers travel in rented motorhomes from Auckland to the southern ski fields. The annual dilemma for the rental companies is how to get their vehicles back to where they came from. Rent one of more than 500 motorhomes or cars from Christchurch and pay $5 a day. The only condition is, you have five days to get back to Auckland. Standby Cars is including a free ferry pass for the vehicle to get across the Cook Strait. You can choose a car or a two-, four- or six-berth motorhome, available now until Christmas.
