Hitch Hiking Wellington

It is difficult to hitch a ride out of Wellington without taking a train out of the city and trying there.

Although the Wellington Urban Motorway is an easy way to drive out of town, it is difficult to hitch a ride at the downtown entrances as much of the traffic is local and there are few places for cars to safely stop for you.
Your best bet is to take a train out of town and try your luck outside the city. The price of the train fare is worth the time you will save.

Take a train to Paraparaumu or Otaki and wait for a lift on State Highway 1. It should be fairly easy hitching once you're out of town.
