Car rental New Zealand- Campervan Hire - Motorhome

Car rental New Zealand- Campervan Hire - Motorhome
Campervan Hire - Motorhome, 4WD Camper and RV Specialists NZ Wide
Campervan and Motorhome Hire
Low-Budget Backpacker Camper Hire
4WD Camper Hire
Car Hire
A campervan for two to a 6 berth luxury motorhome for a family – you will find it here.

Campervan and motorhome hire is available from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown.

Motorhome and Campervan Hire Advice.
Book Early
What is the most important advice we can offer anyone wanting to do a motorhome or campervan hire in New Zealand? - Book Early!!! And by 'early' we mean several months in advance; the busier the period, such as Christmas/New Year, the earlier you will need to book.

Every year we see the same thing repeated over and over again; people leave it too late to book their campervan hire – especially during busy periods. This leaves many people disappointed and frustrated that a suitable vehicle is no longer available.

Even though the entire fleet of campervans and motorhomes available for rental in New Zealand is very large, they will all get booked out during busy periods such as Christmas, New Year, Easter and school holidays. Larger motorhomes that are popular with families are the first to go and then 3 and 4 berth motorhomes are next to be booked out. A New Zealand campervan or motorhome holiday is becoming more and more popular each year.

Allow Enough Time
Although New Zealand may appear to be a small country there is still a lot to see so when planning a motorhome or campervan holiday consideration must be given to the distance travelled each day. For example if you have limited time you may be better to plan to see one Island properly rather than rush and try and see both. You can always return another time!

Vehicle Brief
Before departing on your campervan hire a vehicle briefing will take place that will demonstrate the features available. This particularly applies to the use of the toilet and shower facilities that many people may not have any previous experience with. Modern motorhome toilets are very simple to operate utilising an easily removed, enclosed cassette style system.
