4 Berth Campervan Rental

Yes, we have depots in both Auckland and Christchurch and offer one way hires between those two locations. We may also consider accommodating One Way Hires to/from Queenstown, Wellington or Nelson if it fits into our booking calendar. 

Absolutely. All of our campers are certified to be self contained and therefore allow you to freedom camp.

• Our campervans are equipped with solar panels, harnessing the power of the sun to charge the leisure battery during the day. This means you have a continuous supply of electricity to run your appliances, lights, and heating system even when you’re away from traditional power sources. 
• Self-Sufficient Water Systems: We understand the importance of having access to fresh water and managing waste responsibly while freedom camping. That’s why our campervans are equipped with fresh water and grey water tanks. You can enjoy the convenience of a built-in sink, tap, and shower, knowing that your water needs are met and waste is contained. Our separate toilet and shower facilities ensure privacy and hygiene, allowing you to fully embrace the freedom camping experience.
• Gas Bottles: All of our campers come with a full gas bottle, which allows you to cook independently, heat the water and heat the campervan while out in nature.

There is no limit on how many days you can freedom camp. As the campervans charge their battery during the day, you will have power permanently. You will need to empty the grey water and toilet every couple of days and top up the fresh water as well as the gas. We also do request that you plug into power at least once a week to fully charge the battery to ensure that the battery health is maintained.

New Zealand has public dumping stations all over the country. These are free and open 24/7. The free Campermate App shows you the locations of dumping stations. Dumping Stations usually have fresh water as well, but note that most of the time this is not suitable for drinking and should only be used for washing.

That absolutely depends on the campervan, the number of people travelling with you and your habits. With 4 people showering and doing the dishes twice a day, and using the toilet, the water and toilet lasts about 2 days. With 2 people and only mini showers you might be able to stretch the water to 4 days. 

The gas lasts usually for at least a week if you are heating a lot, much longer if you don’t use much heating.

The free Campermate App has a range of Freedom Camping Sites. You can also search on Google Maps by zooming in on the area that you are looking and type in “freedom camping”. This will often bring up additional freedom camping spots.

No, all of our campervans come equipped with a power lead that let’s you plug in at a campsite.

While freedom camping you can use all of the appliances, USB ports and any 12v equipment. The 240v power points only work when connected to power at a campsite.

All of our campervans have an outdoor table and camping chairs.

No, however we do require a valid credit or debit card to be securely held on file for the duration of your rental in case any damage occurs.

We do not offer delivery of the campervans to the airport as it is very hard to do the training and handover there. The easiest way to get to our Auckland or Christchurch branch is to take an Uber from the airport or hotel.

Yes, you will have roadside assistance through AA. 

If the Campervan breaks down, or has a mechanical problem that cannot be mobilised at scene, the AA will tow the campervan to the nearest place of safety or repair, where arrangements for its repair can be made or where it can be safely stored. Breakdown service does not cover any breakdown cost due to incorrect fuel, lost keys or if you have locked yourself out of the vehicle.

Yes, all raised beds have a safety net to prevent your little ones falling out.

Anyone using New Zealand’s roads contributes towards their upkeep. Most road users pay levies when they buy fuel. Others, such as drivers of light diesel vehicles and heavy vehicles like trucks, pay through road user charges (RUC). Road User Charges will be calculated based on the kilometers that you have travelled. During the handover we take note of the odometer at the start of your trip and then calculate the distance travelled when you return the campervan. Road User Charges are charged at $9/100km travelled and can be paid in cash or via credit card at the end of your trip.
