Review for NZ Transport Agency

Good but waiting for the post is annoying

6.0

"I use the nzta portal for all my car stuff and its pretty good. my only gripe with the ruc is they expect you to print out a piece of paper to stick on your window while you wait for the real label. who even owns a printer these days?? i just screenshot the receipt and hope for the best."
