FAQ's about Hong Kong Dollar
Your daily budget in New Zealand depends on your travel style and destination. On average, budget travellers can expect to spend around NZD 70 to NZD 120 per day. For mid‑range travellers, the budget may range from NZD 120 to NZD 250 per day, while luxury travellers could spend over NZD 300 daily.

The amount of New Zealand Dollars (NZD) you should buy depends on your trip length, destination, and personal spending habits. It’s recommended to exchange enough NZD to cover initial expenses like transportation, meals, and small purchases. You can also use a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for added flexibility to add funds as required.
The best time to buy New Zealand Dollars is when the exchange rate is favourable. Track the NZD exchange rate in the months leading up to your trip and buy your currency when the rate is optimal. Alternatively, you can use a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card to lock in a favourable rate before departure.
