For people who travel in New Zealand on a limited budget, transportation can be a bit of a problem, since it costs fairly expensive to rent a car, and buses have their own schedules, which aren’t always convenient.

There is a partial solution to this problem, which is catching a ride with other tourists heading in your direction and sharing the fuel costs. There is a relatively new website that will help you do that. The site is named “Go-n-Share”, and it has a message board where drivers can leave messages about places they go to and how many people they can take, and tourists who are looking for a ride can also leave their messages about their destinations.

For example if you are driver and would like to take passengers with you, you have to leave the following details: Origin, destination, how you share (petrol cost for example), how many passengers male/female you want to take with you, departure date, which country you are from, your mobile phone (optional).
If you are a passenger looking for a ride, one important thing you will have to write in addition to the usual info, is the amount of baggage that you have.

A great deal of thought was put into this message board, for example all messages with departure dates before the current date are being automatically removed. And one more absolutely great option that this site has – if you have no access to internet you can SMS your request! Your request will appear on the web site and if a solution to your requirements will be found, you will be contacted via your mobile.
And you can also perform a detailed search of the whole message board.

I really hope that this site will become popular and many people with use it making searching for a ride an easy task.
