Our key highlights of campervan rental in New Zealand

Travelling around New Zealand in a rental campervan.

One of the most rewarding ways to explore the country. With ever-changing landscapes, well-maintained roads, and excellent camping facilities, a campervan gives you the freedom to experience the best of both the North and South Islands at your own pace. Here are the key highlights:
Campervan hire in Auckland New Zealand
1. Total Freedom and Flexibility

One of the biggest advantages of a campervan trip is flexibility. Want to stay an extra night by a lake? Catch a sunrise at the beach? Detour to a scenic lookout? You can adjust your itinerary without worrying about hotel bookings or strict schedules.

2. Ever-Changing Scenery

Few countries offer such dramatic variety within short driving distances. You can explore geothermal wonders in Rotorua, relax on golden beaches in Abel Tasman National Park, drive through the alpine passes near Queenstown, and witness glaciers on the West Coast—all in a single trip.

3. Access to Remote and Scenic Locations

With a campervan, you can stay close to nature in places traditional accommodation may not reach. Wake up beside lakes, mountains, or native forests, especially when staying at Department of Conservation (DOC) campsites.

4. Cost-Effective Travel

While rental costs vary by season, travelling with accommodation and transport combined can be economical—especially for couples or families. Having your own kitchen also helps reduce dining expenses. While rental costs vary by season, travelling with accommodation and transport combined can be economical—especially for couples or families. Having your own kitchen also helps reduce dining expenses.

5. Well-Equipped Campsite Network

New Zealand has an excellent network of holiday parks, DOC campsites, and freedom camping areas (where permitted). Facilities often include kitchens, showers, laundry, and powered sites for campervans.

6. Adventure at Your Doorstep
A campervan trip makes it easy to access hiking trails, kayaking spots, ski fields, and adventure hubs. Whether you’re exploring Fiordland or road-tripping along the Pacific Coast Highway, outdoor activities are always close by.
7. Scenic Drives

Driving is part of the experience. Routes like the journey through Canterbury to Aoraki/Mount Cook, or the coastal roads of the Coromandel Peninsula, offer stunning views at nearly every turn.

A rental campervan allows you to slow down, connect with nature, and discover hidden gems beyond the usual tourist path. It’s not just a way to travel around New Zealand—it becomes part of the adventure itself.

Choosing a Campervan

How to choose and book the right camper for your trip.

Renting a campervan in New Zealand is one of the best ways to experience the country’s dramatic landscapes, from alpine mountains to coastal beaches. Before you book, here are the key points to understand.

The number of people travelling is important as you will need the matching number of seat belts and the right bed layout for sleeping arrangements.


Each campervan or motorhome listing has all these facts and figures within the Specifications. Also, there are lots of photographs to show where the beds are and how large they are.
