How To Select A Good New Zealand Camper Van Hire

Travelling around New Zealand in a camper van is the ultimate way of drinking in the natural beauty of this incredibly ravishing country. But you have to be aware of a few fundamental truths when it comes to selecting a good New Zealand camper van hire.



  • Make sure the vehicle is reliable by checking to see if the rental company includes 24 hour AA (Automobile Association) roadside assistance.

  • Campervans which are fully equipped with living equipment - bedding, cutlery, gas cookers, fridges to make your holiday stress free.  Make sure that the rate you pay per day includes living equipment as some companies will charge extra for this.

  • Make sure that the campervan you are looking to book meets your needs.  Contact the supplier to confirm that the campervans that they have on fleet will suit what you are looking for as there are a range of different campervans on the market to suit different budgets, number of travellers & luxury levels.

  • Many of the campervans that are offered in New Zealand range from older camper vans to new vehicles with new fit-outs.  The prices of the camper vans sometimes reflect this.  Vehicles can range from 10 years old right up to recent model campervans with brand new interior fit-outs.

  • Check to make sure what type of fuel the campervans take and keep this in mind when organising your travel plans and budgets.  Diesel is a lot cheaper than petrol in New Zealand making it a more economical way to travel around New Zealand in a camper van hire.  You will find most of the larger campervans will be diesel, however only some companies offer the smaller campervans in diesel. 

  • Make sure that you are clear on what the rate you are paying per day includes.  If you contact the supplier they will be able to tell you what is included and what is excluded. 

  • If you are under 21 years old it is VERY important to make sure that the company you are looking to hire your campervan from will accept you as a driver.  Most companies will have a minimum age of 21 years to hire a vehicle.  Make sure you contact the company to make sure that you can hire through them and if there are any surcharges etc.

  • If you are travelling to both the North and South Island make sure that you are aware of the company's policy on the ferry crossing between both the islands.  Some companies have depots on either side (in Wellington on North Island and Picton on South Island) while some companies do not. So you need to take the vehicle on the ferry.  It is known that it is easier to just drive your vehicle onto the ferry and off on the other side instead of changing vehicles, transferring luggage and doing new contracts etc.
