Location information for Picton

Introduction

Picton is a town on New Zealand's South Island. It's a nice operating base for bike and hiking trips through the Marlborough wine region or for sailing trips over the Marlborough Sounds. Divers will also enjoy it here: near Picton lies the wreck of a Russian cruise ship.

Population

The town has almost 3000 inhabitants.

Location

Picton is located in the north of New Zealand's South Island. There's a marina, one of the largest in the country, in Waikawa, which has almost grown together with Picton. West of Picton lie the mountains of the Richmond Range, with its highest peak Mount Richmond (1760 meters).

Economy

Picton's harbor plays an important role in the ferry connections to and from the North Island. There's also a large marina. Picton lies in Marlborough, New-Zealand's first and main wine region. Winegrowing started in the seventies of the previous century, proving that the country is capable of producing good wines.

Airports

The small Picton Airport maintains connections with Wellington, New Zealand's capital, on the North Island. The airport is situated south of town, at only 5 minutes by car from Picton, and is easily reachable by rental car via State Highway 1. Alternatively, there's Nelson Airport (regular connections with Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington), 114 car kilometers west of Picton and reachable via the Queen Charlotte Drive and State Highway 6.

Public Transport

Picton has no local public transport. Waikiki's marina is about a thirty-minute walk from the center; there are also taxis. There are regional bus connections with Christchurch, Nelson and Fox Glacier. Nelson Lakes Shuttles maintains bus connections with the main tourist attractions, like St Arnaud, Nelson Lakes National Park, Kahurangi National Park and destinations in the mountains of the Richmond Range.

Traffic and Parking

A rental car is an ideal means of transportation to enjoy the impressive nature in the region. The Queen Charlotte Drive, in the direction of Nelson, is a magnificent route along the northern foothills of the Richmond Range and the Marlborough Sounds. Picton has good road connections with the rest of the South Island via State Highway 1 which runs to Blenheim (the regional transport junction) and Christchurch.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
