Explore driving destinations in Queenstown and beyond
Nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by the Southern Alps, Queenstown is full of amazing sights and adventure. From jet boating to bungee jumping and night skiing, the city and its surrounding area is one of New Zealand’s best places for adrenaline junkies.
Renting a car from Pegasus’ Queenstown location allows you to drive out to the stunning lakeside town of Wanaka, 64 km north of the city. Along the way, you’ll pass award-winning wineries beckoning you to sample some of New Zealand’s finest wines. If you’re planning a snow trip, the mountain setting provides numerous options for snow seekers, with four amazing commercial snowfields. Just over an hour from the CBD will bring you to the famous Cardrona Alpine Resort, where you can engage in world-class snow sports and uncover incredible biking trails. Coronet Peak, Treble Cone Ski Area and the Remarkables are located close by and provide hours of fun for locals and tourists to sled, snowboard and ski.
Almost three and a half hours from the airport, Queenstown and her surroundings offer stunning scenery and detours to stop off and admire along the way to the popular tourist attraction of Milford Sound. Next, drive your rental car to the historic city of Dunedin on the east coast for a glimpse into the past. Then, trace the nearby Otago Peninsula to witness one of the finest coastlines in the country. Finally, when you return to town, take the highly recommended Skyline Gondola to the peak and relax as you watch the sunset over Queenstown City.
