Dunedin Transport Options

Dunedin is the gateway to Otago and the lower South Island and is fairly compact, making it easy to get around. USave has a van rental branch in Dunedin, so we have personal experience of getting from A to B. We hope this information on Dunedin's transport options will be useful if you're planning on relocating here.
