New Zealand Campervans

New Zealand campervans provide a way of travel that this country was made for!

Campervan hire in NZ allows you to enjoy the freedom of travelling around anywhere in the North or South Islands while at the same time saving money on expensive accommodation.

Motorhome rentals are relatively cheap in comparison to other countries, and when you compare with the cost of hotels you'll find the cost of your holiday substantially reduced through using this mode of travel. This is particularly true when you combine hotel accommodation with the fact that you will still need to travel by hire car or other transport.

When hiring cheap motorhomes you combine the best of both worlds and get the total freedom of being able to change your plans throughout your holiday if you want to.

Winter Travel

If you are travelling during the NZ winter, a four wheel drive campervan will enable you to go anywhere, stay anywhere, and never have to pay for accommodation! So if you are planning a skiing vacation or want to go off road at all you need to look to hire a four wheel drive motorhome. For ski resorts and travel between, you can generally hire snow chains from the rental company and they will advise you on road conditions in different regions as well.

A four wheel drive camper van probably won't be needed if you're vacation is during the NZ summer and you're not intending to drive in snow or along unsealed tracks. It's not recommended to go off road in vans anyway as there is always a risk you could get stuck off road in the middle of nowhere and without help to tow you out it could prove to be an expensive and inconvenient experience.

You will have to check with your vehicle hire company when you pick up your van because some do not permit vehicles to be driven on particular roads that are known for causing damage to vans (although you may be able to get extra insurance cover).

The company will be able to advise of any restricted roads or travel when you collect the van.
