Thread: Reasonable Rental Car in NZ?

You won’t find anything cheap in NZ. Be prepared to be ripped off on everything (apart from beer maybe). Sad but true.

Cheap beer? In NZ?

Maybe at a small tavern where only locals drink, otherwise beer is ridiculously priced here.
Not to mention the lack of a standard sized glass, so you never know what quantity you are paying for.
Or when a bloody restaurant advertises a pint of beer and it's not actually a pint!

Sorry, beer in pubs/restaurants is a sore point for me.
I might even lobby ACT to introduce standardised pint measurements like they have in the UK.

Now that is something a lot would get behind when is a Pint not a Pint? When its a handle

And what's with those prissy 10oz glasses?

Not sure of the exact dates yet, but any member that wants to meet at a pub along the way...I'll buy the beers!
