As many of my friends know, I’ve been spending the last few weeks in New Zealand. Primarily it’s been for a small holiday, but also in preparation inimitable Linux.conf.au 2015 conference. Leading up to that, one of the goals of my visit was to experience the variety of places across both islands.

A few weeks ago someone clued me in to a service called TransfercarThis is that this is a service for people who need to rent a car for one-way travel. The way it works is this: rental car companies often get one-way rental requests. At the end of the rental, the vehicles must be relocated to cities where they’re in demand. Therefore they need you (the lone backpacker) to help them get it there. Often these requests get posted with little notice. Thus you must remain flexible if you plan to catch one.
