The gathering at Auckland's Victoria Park against fuel taxes on Saturday.
Protesters are calling for the government to halve the fuel excise tax and Road User Charges (RUCs), but the transport minister says to do so would take funding away from roading.
Advocacy group Fuel Tax Protest NZ earlier told media it had coordinated more than 40 protests across the country on Saturday.
In a Saturday evening video on social media, Fuel Tax Protest NZ national spokesperson Phil Barrett said there had been protests at more than 50 locations across the country, but RNZ was unable to verify that number.
An RNZ reporter found a handful of people gathered at one of the protests, at the Auckland's Victoria Park.
