Preliminary
1. Visa - Semua boleh dibuat online (Apps), tak perlu hard copy. Perlu tunjuk approval document dari phone shj (Apps).
2. Ticket booking - Flight biasanya kalau direct flight mahal. Tapi kalau ada transit murah sikit. Kene pandai pilih provider dan route.
Kalau nak bawa makanan, disarankan bawa yg seal pack shj dan ada printed ingredient pada pack tersebut. List kan semua makanan dan ingredient nya (untuk serah kastam jika perlu). Sama juga utk ubat ubatan, listkan semua ubat dan kegunaannya (untuk serah kastam jika perlu)
3. Car booking
Dalam web ada byk search engine utk sewa kereta di NZ. Cuba semua dan dapatkan yg terendah. Untuk kali ini guna Europcar. Booking dari Malaysia lagi. Kereta ambil di Airport Aucland dan drop di Airport Wellington. Dapat kereta baru, milage dlm 3k+. Ford Escape Hybrid mmg best. Guna kereta dalam 8 hari all together dlm RM2.5k. Service Europcar ni pun ok juga, anyway xde isu pun dgn kereta dari mula hingga akhir, so xde lah byk berurusan dgn provider ni.
Dulu pernah pakai Hertz dan Enterprise, pun ok cuma harga nya. Enterprise ni keras sikit harganya. Dalam memilih kereta, tengok criteria kereta yg sesuai dgn perancangan - coverage insurance yg diberi, any mileage limit, luggage size, rental services, petrol/diesel/hybrid/ev. Kalau salah pilih nnt susah.
