Spaceships Campers New Zealand

Spaceships Rentals is a well‑known campervan hire company operating in New Zealand, specialising in compact, easy‑to‑drive campervans that blend the convenience of a car with the essentials of a camper for road trips around both islands. Established in 2004, the brand has become part of the country’s campervan rental landscape by offering customised vehicles that are designed to be comfortable yet nimble on New Zealand roads, making them especially popular with backpackers, couples, and budget‑minded travellers. Their campervans are built with practical features like sleeping and cooking gear included, and are often described as a “Swiss Army knife” of campers due to their flexibility and clever interior design.

One of the key aspects of Spaceships’ service is its straightforward pricing and inclusive approach: rentals typically come with unlimited kilometres, no fees for young drivers (from age 18), and no extra charge for one‑way trips between their depots in Auckland (North Island) and Christchurch (South Island). The company also promotes free cancellation and flexible booking changes before pick‑up, aiming to make planning a road trip as hassle‑free as possible. Their depots are conveniently located near airports and city centres, and after‑hours pick‑up options are available to suit different flight and travel schedules.

In terms of campervan types and on‑road experience, Spaceships’ fleet generally includes models that sleep 2–4 people, feature automatic transmissions, and come with basics such as a fridge, gas cooker, and storage — allowing travellers to explore at their own pace and take advantage of New Zealand’s scenic campsites and freedom camping opportunities. The company also emphasises support beyond just the vehicle hire, providing contactable customer service, roadside assistance, and travel guidance to help ensure a positive overall experience on the road.
