New Zealand Motorhome Hire

and Campervan Rentals

The Ultimate in Independent Travel!

Motorhomes come in many shapes and sizes!

New Zealand Motorhome hire is very popular and campervans are a common sight on our roads as locals as well as tourists are tending more and more to this type of transport option for their New Zealand holidays.

Good camping grounds are in every city and town, at many beaches and of course, being totally self contained, you also have the opportunity to stop anywhere suitable for a break,or the night.

Check for signs that may say camping is forbidden in some places.

There are a number of campervan rental companies including these well known and respected companies.

There are many more companies.I will add those I can recommend as I come across them.

They offer a good selection of different sized vehicles accommodating anything from couples to families or groups up to 6 people.

Rental prices will depend on size and the season, with High, Shoulder and Low seasons.

Some companies specialise in budget rentals, and at the other end, others, with luxury motorhomes, that feature every mod con from queen size beds, ovens, to full bathroom facilities, air conditioning etc These do tend to be bigger vehicles. You would need to be comfortable with driving a large campervan on our roads, which are not perhaps what you are used to.

NOTE

Worth checking out if you are travelling from Christchurch to Auckland usually around November or in a Low season, is the opportunity to rent a motorhome at an extremely cheap rate to drive back to Auckland. Maui often advertises this and other companies may also. You will not have time to deviate too much though.

Zorb Sleepervans New Zealand provides budget travellers with funky, modern mobile accommodation with awesome luxury campervan accessories at realistic rental rates for self-drive holidays throughout NZ. Depots close to Auckland and Christchurch airports.

New Zealand Driving Conditions

You will need to allow for the terrain and distances in your travel times.New Zealand may be small in population, but it is a long narrow country which means our travel distances are more than you might expect. Our roads are also hilly and can be windy, some are unsealed, so extra time is required to travel the same distance on a road that does not have the same difficult terrain. Further considerations are weather. Some areas are subject to wind, rain and snow which will mean slower travelling times, or closed roads in extreme conditions.

Your rental company will be able to inform you if any of these problems might occur.Winter, or autumn/spring would be the most likely.

NOTE

There are a few roads that are so dangerous, rental vehicles are not allowed to be driven on them.

Tips when Pricing Rental Vehicles

� Does using your credit card give you a discount when booking your motorhome hire?

� Do you have reciprocal access to discounts and use of our AA-Automobile Association.

� What does the Motorhome hire insurance cover? Check.

� If you have a second driver they must also give their details to go on the rental agreement.

� Find out basic things such as where the petrol lever is, tire inflation rates, etc

� Know which petrol you use for your rental car or motorhome.

� Some companies do not allow their rental vehicles on the Interisland Ferry Crossing.They would give you another vehicle in Picton.
