Roam Free on the Fantastic New Zealand Freeway

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reserve your chance to roam free in New Zealand by registering for the Fantastic New Zealand Freeway promotion, Air New Zealand’s free rental car program going on until December 31, 2011.

“Best Business Class to Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific”

Before you arrive in New Zealand, register online to tell Air New Zealand where you’d like to go. When one of the two cars (brand new Toyota Camry Hybrids playfully named “Jeffree” and “Freeona”) is available, Air New Zealand will send registered visitors in the area an email alert. The first person to reserve the car receives up to seven days of freewheeling fun.

With a bottomless tank of gas and mobile phone included, visitors lucky enough to nab a ride are encouraged to document and share their travels via “happy snaps” and upload their photos to the Air New Zealand website. A GPS tracker is also included to publish Jeffree and Freeona’s whereabouts in real time as they make their way around New Zealand.

If you are in New Zealand, here’s how to book your shot at a free rental car:

• Register online
• Tell Air New Zealand where you’d like to pick up Jeffree or Freeona
• When Jeffree or Freeona are heading to your requested location, be the first person to respond to Air New Zealand’s email alert
• Use the Garmin-Asus A10 phone to take “happy snaps” and upload your photos to the website
• Enjoy a free rental car for up to seven days!

So far, visitors have already snapped photos at Huka Falls, Lake Wakatipu and the little town of Kawakawa. Together, Jeffree and Freeona have logged more than 8,000 miles.
