Hire & Travel
Hire period
Hire commences from the day of pick up to the day of drop off inclusive. Hire charges are based on a daily cost calculated from day of pick up as day one to drop off as the last day.
Fuel
2 Berth units are Petrol powered; all vehicles come with a full fuel and LPG tank (camping gas, propane). Vehicles are to be returned with a full fuel and LPG tank.
Note for Auckland returns: the LPG tank will need to be refilled at a gas station at least 5 km from the airport (this is due to an airport authority requirement that there be no L.P.G refuelling stations within 5 km of the airport).
Unlimited Travel
All of our daily rental rates are on an unlimited kilometre basis.
Camping Parks
There are more than 300 fully equipped camping parks spread around New Zealand. Booking is not normally necessary except during the peak holiday periods (December to January).

Vehicle Insurance / Bond
Full vehicle and third party Insurance is compulsory - There is an excess (insurance bond) on 2 berth campervans of $2000.00. For drivers 25 years or less the excess is an additional 25% premium. The insurance Bond is held in the form of a credit card imprint - and is not debited unless the vehicle is involved in an accident.
Bond Reduction Options

It is fully refundable at the completion of hire if the campervan is returned in a reasonably clean and tidy condition, the campervan has not been damaged or involved in an accident and the fuel tank is full.
