What Our Hirers Say

The campervan was awesome and so easy to drive. We had such a great trip. There was heaps of space for everything we needed, and the fridge kept all our food fresh. We cooked outside most nights which we really loved.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

Are the campervans self-contained?

Yes. Absolutely. All our campervans hold the current green self-containment certification, allowing you to freedom camp at hundreds of sties throughout NZ.  Our campervans are the perfect setup for freedom camping. 
This gives you more flexibility to explore beaches, lakes, forests and remote places without needing to stay at a campground every night.

What is included in the campervan hire?

Everything you need for an easy road trip is included. Your hire includes bedding, towels, kitchenware, cooking equipment, outdoor table and chairs, unlimited kilometres, roadside assistance, and a self-contained campervan ready for New Zealand travel.

Can I pick up or drop off on weekends or public holidays?

Yes, weekend and holiday pick-ups may be available by arrangement. Please let us know your preferred timing when you request a quote.

Are airport transfers available?

Yes. We offer an easy Auckland airport shuttle to get you to the van and on your way.

Are bedding and towels included?

Yes absolutely, we want to make sure you have what you need. Sheets, duvets, pillows and towels are all included. Kitchenware and essentials too.

What is your cancellation policy?

Our cancellation policy is included in our Booking Terms and Conditions on the website.  Our cancellation policy depends on how close the cancellation is to your pick-up date. 

As a general guide, cancelling earlier gives us the best chance to rebook the vehicle, so the cancellation fee is lower. 

  • More than 61 days before pickup: 10% of the total booking cost
  • 60 to 31 days before pickup: 25% of the total booking cost
  • 30 to 15 days before pickup: 50% of the total booking cost
  • 14 to 7 days before pickup: 75% of the total booking cost
  • 6 days or less before pickup, on the pickup date, or in the case of non-appearance: 100% of the total booking cost

Can I change my travel dates after booking?

We will always try to help if your plans change. Date changes depend on availability and may affect the total hire price, especially if the new dates fall in a different season or overlap peak travel periods.

Can I add an extra driver?

Yes. Extra drivers can be added as long as they meet the licence requirements and are listed on the rental agreement before driving. We currently include an extra driver free of charge.

Can I take the campervan on the ferry between the North and South Island?

Yes, our campervans can travel on the ferry. We recommend booking your ferry crossing early during busy periods. We can also provide information about our Bluebridge ferry discount where available.

Do I need to return the campervan clean?

Yes. Please return the campervan reasonably clean, with rubbish removed, dishes washed, and the toilet and wastewater emptied.

Extra cleaning charges may apply if the campervan is returned excessively dirty or if the toilet/wastewater has not been emptied.

Are tolls included?

Yes, tolls are included. This is one less thing to think about while you travel.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. We believe in transparent pricing. Your quote will clearly show what is included, so there are no surprise charges at pick-up. Optional extras, insurance upgrades, ferry discounts or special requests will be discussed before you confirm your booking.

Is unlimited mileage included?

Yes. Drive as far as you like across New Zealand — unlimited kilometres included in every hire.

What’s included for winter campervan travel?

For pick-ups between May and September, we provide a complimentary winter pack to keep you warm and comfortable. This includes extra sleeping bags, a heater for use at powered campsites, and a hot water bottle.

The winter pack must be requested in advance and is only available for bookings during these months each year.

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in New Zealand?

If your driver’s licence is in English, you can usually drive in New Zealand for up to 12 months without an IDP. If it’s not in English, you’ll need an IDP alongside your licence.

Should you have a digital driving license – which is not from New Zealand – you must also have an international driving license.

How do I book a campervan?

Send us a quote request with your travel dates, number of travellers, and any plans you already have. We will confirm availability and send you a formal quote. Once you are happy to proceed, your booking is secured by paying the required deposit.

How much deposit is required to secure a booking?

A 25% deposit is required to secure your booking and hold your travel dates.  Your dates are not confirmed until the deposit has been received.

Do I need to pay a bond?

A bond may be required depending on the insurance option selected.

The bond amount and how it is handled will be confirmed before pick-up. If the campervan is returned on time, clean, refuelled, and without damage, fines or extra charges, the bond hold/release process will begin after return.

You can choose an upgraded insurance option that reduces your bond and excess to $0.

Where do I pick up the campervan?

Our campervans are picked up in Auckland. We also offer an easy airport transfer/shuttle service to help you get from Auckland Airport to your campervan and start your trip smoothly.

What happens if the campervan breaks down?

Roadside assistance is included. If you have a mechanical issue during your trip, contact us as soon as possible and we will help arrange support. Please do not continue driving if warning lights appear or the vehicle feels unsafe.

What happens if I have an accident?

Make sure everyone is safe first, then contact emergency services if needed. You must also contact us as soon as possible. Do not admit fault or arrange repairs yourself. We will guide you through the accident process, insurance requirements and next steps.
