Share Rides & Beat Traffic
Carpool to Whakapapa
Driving with GoSplit is simple, rewarding, and hassle-free. Our platform is built for ordinary drivers who want to share their commute or road trips and get your costs and expenses covered. Unlike driving for a taxi or rideshare company, you don’t need a
P endorsement or any special certification to drive with GoSplit, because this isn’t a taxi service, it’s true carpooling among community members.
Whakapapa is NZ’s largest ski area, sitting high on the slopes of Mt Ruapehu. Getting there from Auckland, Hamilton, or Taupō takes commitment. Carpool to Whakapapa through GoSplit makes that commitment cheaper. Whakapapa Ski Ride Share connects skiers and snowboarders with verified Kiwis driving the same route, so the mountain doesn’t cost you before you even hit the slopes.
Why Choose GoSplit for Christchurch Carpooling
Save More on Every Trip
The drive to Mt Ruapehu is long, and petrol costs add up fast. Affordable Travel to Whakapapa through GoSplit splits fuel costs among riders and drivers heading the same way, so you arrive with more money left for lift passes.
Travel Smarter Together
A long drive north is always better shared. GoSplit's matching puts you with verified members making Shared Rides to Whakapapa, so the road to Ruapehu becomes part of the day rather than a stretch of highway to get through alone.
Reduce Traffic & Emissions
Tongariro National Park is a World Heritage Site worth protecting. Every GoSplit trip takes a solo car off the road and cuts highway emissions trip by trip. Mountain Ride Sharing in NZ is the cleaner way to reach the snow.
