We are the Car Relocation Service

For HIkers.

Routeburn, Milford, Rees / Dart, Greenstone / Caples,Mavora and Motatapu Tracks.

We are the car relocation specialists since 2008.

With over 550 crossings of the Routeburn Track, we have great information on weather, plants, animals and of course, the tracks.

Routeburn Track

This majestic track weaves through glacier valleys, around alpine lakes with great views of the Southern Alps.

This track was damaged by flooding in Feb 2020, between MacKenzie hut and the Divide. The new option is to hike from the Routeburn Shelter to MacKenzie hut and back.

No car relocation is required until this section of track reopens.

If you are an experienced hiker, who wants to hike alternative routes, we can still help with car relocations.

Milford Track

Renowned as the finest walk in the world, with spectacular glacier valleys and sub tropical rain forest.

This track was damaged by flooding in Feb 2020, between MacKinnon Pass to Sandfly Point. The new option is to hike from the from Glade Wharf to MacKinnon Pass and back.

No car relocation is required until this section of track reopens.

If you are an experienced hiker, who wants to hike alternative routes, we can still help with car relocations.

Greenstone - Caples

The Greenstone Valley is a wide, open valley with tussock flats and beech forest.
The Caples Valley is a narrower valley filled with forest interspersed with grassy clearings and a sub alpine crossing.
Both of these tracks can be linked with the Routeburn Track.

Due to damage on the Routeburn, there is no option to link these tracks with the Routeburn.

The Greenstone/Caples tracks are still open.

REES - DART

An undiscovered rough diamond of a track.
This magnificent, but challenging, alpine circuit lets you explore two river valleys at the head of Lake Wakatipu.
Add a detour to the Dart Glacier and Cascade Saddle to put the icing on the cake.

Also car relocations are available for the Matukituki Valley via Cascade saddle route to Rees/ Dart.

We are doing a 50% off special for the Rees / Dart car relocation. The special is from when NZ reopens until the end of May 2020.!!

I wish to thank you and Kyomi for the magnificent service you provided recently in taking the car of my friends and I from the Routeburn Shelter around to the Divide. We found everything to be as you said it would be, locating your house and thence the lockbox, applying the lockbox with the car keys etc to our vehicle, and then finding our car with the attached lockbox several days later at the Divide. My friends and I are unanimous in that we will have no hesitation in recommending your service to any others that we become aware of as intending trampers of the Routeburn Track. Once again, our grateful thanks to you both.

Cheers from Darcy 9/May 2019

Thanks very much for moving my car, everything worked perfectly.

The hike was great, although quite strenuous, but that’s what I wanted. You were right about the Earland Falls, they were just tremendous! And also the view right after the Harry’s Saddle shelter. A life’s experience.

Thank you very much again for making this journey possible for me.

Best regards, Dmitry 21 Apr 2019

Mike,
It was such a pleasure to meet you and thank you so much for making our journey so easy! We probably had the best weather one could hope for. Clear skies and a perfect temperature. We got to Mackenzie hut in 8 hours before dusk and had a wonderful trip out yesterday.

I just dropped your key lock at the Caltex here in Te Anau. Thanks again for your superior service.

Cheers, Paul 19 Apr 2019

Just wanted to THANK YOU! We had a great Tramp with beautiful weather (luckily we got out before all this rain). It was so nice to have the car waiting for us.

We also appreciate that you provided all the information about Pass Creek and that you were able to accommodate the change which meant some extra driving for you.

After getting the email from DOC which discouraged Pass Creek, it was a relief to know we didn't have to change our plans. We meet many people at the huts who had changed their plans based on the DOC's warnings. Without your advice, we might not have made the right decision.

Thanks for making our tramp go so smoothly.

Thanks again for the timely and valuable info you gave us on the Pass Creek. It made the decision to continue when we were about to give up on the tramp. We had a brilliant time and loved it thoroughly!! Pass Creek only took us 1.5 hours to get out.

Cheers - 10 Apr 2019

Just wanted to say thanks for the great service.
Im sorting emails as our flight is delayed, a good opportunity to say thank you for such a positive service experience under difficult conditions. Even though the emergency weather event stopped us doing the Routeburn track this time we had a great time day walking in NZ and were so impressed by your service response all round, thanks.

Best regards, Jacqui 6 Apr 2019

Hey guys,
I just want to send you both a huge THANK YOU for a hasslefree professional TrackHopper experience. You've both been friendly, helpful and knowledgeable throughout our dealings, and working in retail, I know how hard service can be to get right but man, you guys are killing it on every level.

If I ever need a car transfer in this area again, I won't be using anyone else!

3 Apr 2019

Thank you very much for your understanding and flexible cancellation policy.

We'll be sure to recommend you to anyone we know doing the Routeburn! Since booking we've had friends say how amazing you were when they used your service.

Thanks again. Cheers,
Hilary, 18 Mar 2019

Thanks very much for relocating our car recently while we walked the Routeburn.

Your systems are streamlined and efficient; communication prompt and helpful; and interactions friendly and pleasant.

Thank you
Kind regards,
