Travel Tips
Tipping - Tipping is not expected at all in NZ, sometimes there is a tip jar at the counter but do not feel obliged to leave anything, it is not expected.
Sales tax - NZ has a 12.5% Goods and Service Tax, but it is built into the sticker price, consequently what you see as the price on a menu, or price tag is what you pay, no tip, no sales tax added.
Taxis - Taxis are deregulated, so there is no need to take the first taxi on the rank, take whichever one looks good to you. (They will all have prices printed on the side, take a look). I prefer http://www.greencabs.co.nz/.
