Motorhome, Campervan & Car Rental
Motorhome and campervan travel is a very popular way to see beautiful New Zealand. Motorhomes and campervans give you the travelling tourist the freedom to go wherever the wind takes you.
New Zealand has many motorhome and campervan rental companies. In the following paragraphs we will outline what to expect from your motorhome/campervan rental company.
This is to be used as a guide only and has been written by an experienced motorhome, campervan and car rental company owner after a study of most motorhome/campervan rental companies in New Zealand during June 2005.
Glossary of New Zealand Motorhome terms:
Motorhome - bigger self powered home on wheels
Campervan - smaller self power home on wheels
Sleepervan - smaller van fitted with camping equipment
Berth - the number of people that can sleep in the vehicle
Bond - the money held by the company should any accident take place
Excess - the money taken by the company should any accident take place
AA - New Zealand Automobile Association used for roadside assistance
Seasonal Prices:
The highest rates for New Zealand are in the summer months from December until the end of February, during this period motorhomes/campervans must be booked well in advance or you will have little chance of getting one when you turn up.
November and March are almost as busy, because the weather is still good but the prices are cheaper. Booking is advised.
October and April are a bit cheaper again and during these months you may be able to arrive in New Zealand and pick up a cheap rental car or relocation deal.
May to the end of September is the quietest as this is winter and a bit chilly with a good ski season. Booking is not really needed during this time and you will be able to phone around to pick up good deals including good relocation deals.
A relocation deal is where you could pick up a motorhome/campervan in one city and drop it in another for a minimum charge.
