One choice open to any travellers is free Wifi, which anyone with a mobile (with a New Zealand number) can access. Wifi hotspots are expanding across the country all the time. However Wifi reception is still patchy in many areas outside of main cities. Also 'free' wifi is not always free as it may involve making a purchase, such as cup of coffee at a cafe before they give you the Wi-fi password.

There is another option which is more dependable that more and more campervan rental operators are offering. It is a Mobile Broadband Device with a pre-paid data package. An example of this is Tui (Budget & Freedom) Pocket WiFi mobile broadband internet allows you to set up your own secure WiFi anywhere in Vodafone coverage. It's portable, wireless and battery powered, plus with one-touch setup you can share your broadband with up to five Wi-Fi devices quickly and easily. So bring your laptop or iPad and stay in touch with your friends and family while you are travelling in a Tui Camper. $100.00 gives you 3.5GB data download/upload. Prepay mobile broadband lasts for a month or if you run out of data during the month, simply buy a Top Up add-on to keep you going.

Other motorhome rental companies offering internet are Maui , Britz & Mighty. Offer a free Roadtrip App (available to download at the depot), displays your current GPS location then shows the nearest campsite and holiday parks, (free and paid) and more. Wifi Data can be purchased at depot on pickup: 1GB Wifi Hotspot Data NZ$35 per hire (included in The Bundle) - 5GB Wifi Hotspot Data NZ$65

(Apollo Group: Star RV, Apollo & Cheapa). Also offer a free Apollo Connect app that can be downloaded (google play or App store) on your mobile device (using the free wifi at the depot), then the GPS can be used off-line. If you are requiring wifi while travelling you can purchase prepay mobile data for at any retail store.

Most campervan rental companies offer Courtesy Transfers on day of arrival and departure (There are a couple of exceptions) Most depots are close to airports and therefore the Courtesy Transfers are usually from the airport (or accommodation if within 3kms to the airport). Motorhome Rental Companies offering the transfers will collect you in a shuttle bus and take you to their depot (they do not deliver the motorhome). Some companies ask you to take a taxi to the depot and will then refund you the cost of the taxi up to a given amount. Most companies offer return Courtesy.

To idenify exactly what the Company of the Motorhome you intend hiring offers with regards Courtesy Transfers click on the link on "Important Arrival Information and Depot Location" which is on each motorhome page located just above the daily hire rate quote. Please note the Depots's operating hours. All information regarding Courtesy Transfers and Depot Location, Opening Closing hours etc is on your Email Motorhome Hire Confirmation

This varies from New Zealand campervan hire company to company but almost all companies offer at least table and chairs and baby/child or booster seats. (Some campervan hire companies include table and chairs for free). A lot of companies also offer GPS's as optional extras (if they are not included) and snow chains. Some offer bikes and bike racks (see Bicycle Hire section for more information). Other items that are sometimes offered are tents, BBQs, MP3 players, and portable heaters. All Hire items can be reserved for the Motorhome you intend to book when on Part one of the Reservation process.

If All Inclusive insurance is selected with your campervan rental, (Part one) many hire items are included at no charge. The normal inclusions with All Inclusive insurance are a baby or booster seat, tables and chairs, Snow Chains (and sometimes a GPS) Most Hire items can be booked at the Depot when collecting the rental Motorhome but prebooking can save time and ensure the item is available.

Starter Packs (or Welcome Packs) are available with most of the rental motorhomes we offer. The contents of the Starter Pack will vary from company to company. The more upmarket/expensive motorhomes may have more in the Starter Pack. By definition a Starter Pack contains everything you need to get started such as some sachets of tea, coffee & sugar, a regional map and an activities guide. To find out more information, on a motorhome's web page, look under the heading "Daily Hire Rental Rate Includes".

Useful Motorhome Hire Terminology

Deposit - When you make a booking through our web site we we will debit a sum of money to secure your campervan. This sum is the booking deposit, and is a percentage of the total amount to be paid. This can be paid either by Credit Card or Bank transfer. The deposit will be between 15 – 25%. If the hire starts within 30 days, some companies require us to take the full 100%. This information can be found on each motorhomes webpage when you click on "FULL QUOTE AND BOOK NOW" This takes you to "Part One of the Booking Process" and at the bottom of that page the Bookings terms are clarified. You can either carry on with the booking or  go back to the vehicle. Please note although we can accept the deposit or full payment for any camper by Bank transfer you need a Credit Card for any Insurance excess applicable. This Insurance/excess info is also on is "Part One of the Booking Process"

Depot - A depot is the base for the campervan companies. Typically each company has a number of depots around the country, and these are where you pick up and drop off your campervan from. Most companies depots are in Auckland in the North Island and Christchurch in the South Island.

Berth - This refers to the number of people the vehicle is able to sleep, eg, a two berth campervan can sleep two people. It does not refer to how many beds are in the vehicle, as a two berth vehicle could contain one double bed.

Bond - This is a specified amount of money paid by the hirer to the campervan company in case of an accident or accidental damage. This is refunded after the rental period provided there have been no incidents or accidents, and the Terms & Conditions of hire have been met. (Usually within 10 working days to allow for any unpaid Traffic Infringements or Toll Road Charges, etc.)

Calendar Days - Campervan Rental is based on calendar days, which means the day off pick up and the day of drop off are included as a full day of rental, regardless of the time of day the pick up or drop off is made. So if the pick up is made at 4 pm, then the day is still counted as a full day.

Baby Seat - Baby Seats are for children aged 6 months to 3 years, (weighing 8 to 18 kilos). They are an external accessory manually fitted into the car, the requirement of which needs to be specified when making a booking.

Booster Seat - Similar to baby seats, these are for children aged 3 to 8 years (weighing 14 to 28 kilos).

Flex Rates - These are rates that change every week, ie 'flexible' rates. Generally speaking the closer you get to the pickup date, the higher the rates will be. The rate of the first day of your travel will apply to the whole duration of your travel.

Standard Rates - These rates do not change every week, they are set at the start of the year and remain at that rate for the duration of the season. If you cross over a change of season the rate you are paying will change too. It depends on the supplier whether they offer standard or flex rates.

Government taxes – GST  (Goods and Services Tax) is included in the daily hire rate. Diesel levy is tax the Government charges users of diesel vehicles. Some motorhome companies pass this tax on to the hirers of their vehicles. (This only applies to the diesel powered vehicles). This charge is based on the number of kilometers driven.

One Way Travel - Often people wish to pick up a campervan in one destination, then drive to another destination and drop it off there. This is 'one way travel', as it doesn’t involve a return trip.

Caravan Park - Campervan travellers normally spend lots of time in caravan parks. They are tourist-oriented resort locations where you can park up your campervan and plug it into electricity. There are other types of accommodation available on the same site, from camping to cabins to motel style accommodation. Laundry and kitchen facilities are normally provided, as are ablution blocks. Some have swimming pools and games rooms, and all are reasonably priced.

Holiday Park and Tourist Park - There is very little distinction between these type of resort parks and caravan parks. All are reasonable and accommodating places to enjoy your campervan holiday in.

National Park - A National Park is an area of land that the government has declared ownership off. It is protected by the government from human development, and is normally an area of natural beauty or attraction.

Battery System - The internal appliances of most campervans run on a battery system that is separate from the engine battery. These batteries recharge when you drive, and when plugged into mains power.

Transmission - This is the gear changing system of the car. It is either automatic, whereby the car changes gears for you, or manual, where the gear changing is done by the driver, or tiptronic which gives you a choice of manual or automatic.

Motorhome Hire Insurance Terminology

Full or Comprehensive Insurance - These are insurance policies with a broad range of cover. You are covered by the insurance whether you are in the right or the wrong, or whether the damage was caused by an unknown party or an 'act of God'. With most bookings, insurance is included in the daily rate. If not then insurance must be purchased to cover the vehicle.

A standard excess applies (which you can choose to reduce). In the event of the vehicle becoming damaged during your hire, you will be liable for the applicable excess. This may be claimed back by yourself against your personal travel insurance, but this agreement is between your travel insurer and yourself.

Excess - When you are insured and you make a claim on your insurance, you will still have to pay the first part of that claim yourself. That amount you pay is the excess, and its amount depends on the excess options you take.

Excess Reduction - This is an amount of cash you pay each day that reduces the excess you have to pay in the event of an accident. The excess reduction you pay and the amount it reduces off your excess depends on the supplier.

Standard Liability- the standard liability amount is taken as a bond off your credit card at the start of travel, and is held for the duration of travel until the campervan is safely returned.

Third party - The third party is any other entity involved in an incident. So for example if you have an accident whereby you drive into the back of another vehicle, that vehicle is the third party. Third Party Insurance covers the costs that may be incurred by a third party as a result of your actions.

Demurrage - This is the monetary loss incurred by a supplier when their campervan is taken off the road as the result of an accident. The person who causes the accident is liable for demurrage.

Surcharge - this an additional sum added to a usual amount or cost.

The New Zealand Cycle Trail is a government led national project that has built a network of world class cycle trails. Over 2,500km of trails catering for a range of cycling abilities from beginners and families, to more experienced and competitive riders.

Imagine riding through the cool of the New Zealand bush, dense with fern, dappled with light and the only sound is the call of native birds loud above the hum of your bike.

Or, imagine a trail that rounds a wide sweeping bend to a view that simply takes your breath away – stunning snowcapped peaks mirrored in a deep, still lake.

Journeys such as these exist – they are real examples of what 'The New Zealand Cycle Trail' has on offer.  And it all started with an idea...

The Great Rides are the premier rides on the New Zealand Cycle Trail.  They are predominantly off-road trails that showcase the very best of New Zealand's landscape, environment, culture and heritage.

Further on-road cycle touring routes are also being added to the New Zealand Cycle Trail, with the long-term aim of developing a nationwide cycle network, enabling locals and international visitors to explore all of New Zealand by bike.

Staying in Caravan Parks and Holiday Parks

Staying in a caravan park is the luxury way to experience your campervan holiday, but as you know, luxury costs money! The rates of most caravan parks are usually very reasonable, yet this will depend on location, time of the year and the type of accommodation option you choose.

Caravan Parks provide facilities that will make your rental campervan experience more comfortable. Many of the parks offer easy access to electricity and water, which allows you to replenish your onboard supplies and recharge your motorhome battery. They provide facilities such as toilets, showers, laundries and camp kitchens, which will make your stay just that little bit easier.

Many parks also feature swimming pools, tennis courts, recreation rooms and even spas. This will add a further element of luxury and comfort to your stay and will allow you to sit back, relax and unwind.

It is advisable to book ahead, especially at the places you really want to stay at. However, some caravan parks will let you stay without a reservation, but always be aware of peak times in the year, which often bring with them changing rates and availabilities.

Staying in a caravan park is essentially the best way to go about your campervan holiday. They are ideally positioned so that you can enjoy the surrounding scenery and attractions, therefore offering the best places to stay!

Conservation Campsites are a great place to relax, enjoy and explore the great outdoors. They allow you to get back in touch with nature and escape the crowds at an extremely affordable rate!

Free Stays ("Freedom Camping")

 

Motorhomes have dual battery systems, one for starting the campervan, one for the internal appliances such as lights, fridge and water pump. These batteries will last approximately 12 hours when fully charged depending on usage. Some vehicles have solar panels too. All these features make it possible to stay overnight without power or water facilities.

Free stays are handy to throw into travel as they can save you a bit of money, we recommend you mix these with Campgrounds and National Park stays though.

Local authorities maintain and regulate free stays in each region, so we recommend you check with the local information center on arrival. Free camping is permitted in most areas of New Zealand. However watch out for signposted areas where camping is prohibited as you may get fined. 

Also, be considerate of the environment and be sure not to litter or leave the area damaged. “Freedom campers” have coped a lot of flak in recent times in New Zealand for leaving behind unsightly messes including human waste. Please leave our environment in the same condition you found it! Doing this will ensure that free stay across New Zealand remains available for many years to come!

New Zealand Weather Overview

The weather in New Zealand varies, to a degree that is difficult to describe it in just a few words. New Zealand's weather is one of the main attractions that draw in tourists all year round. The sharp contrasts between the distinctive seasons are unique and different to any other country in the world. Both the South and North Island enjoy mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall and many hours of sunshine. However, you should always be prepared for sudden climate changes, as cold fronts and tropical cyclones quickly blow in.

Weather is at times unpredictable wherever you go. Below is a basic breakdown of what you should generally expect during each New Zealand season. This will give you an idea of when the best times to travel are. This will help you plan your campervan holiday and ensure that you can enjoy the weather you are seeking.

Temperatures

New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are the opposite to those in the northern hemisphere.

New Zealand generally enjoys a pleasant temperate climate, with the average temperature decreasing as you travel further south in your campervan. In general, the warmest months of the year are December, January and February (with average temperatures of 22 degrees Celcius), with the coldest weather occurring in June, July and August (with average temperatures of 9 degrees Celcius).

The North Island benefits from more of a subtropical climate, with more noticeable subtropical weather in the summer. The South Island mainly enjoys a temperate climate, with the inland alpine areas of the far south getting as cold as -10 degrees Celcius in the winter months. These sharp contrasts of temperature allow visitors to experience the best of both worlds in the one country, which is essentially what makes New Zealand's climate so unique.

New Zealand Seasons

Summer

Summer in New Zealand occurs in the months of December, January and February. During the summer months the temperatures are high and there are more hours of sunshine then in the other seasons. The days are generally long and sunny and the nights mild and pleasant. Summer in New Zealand is perfect beach weather, with tourists flocking to the many stunning beaches to soak up the rays of sunshine and enjoy the pleasant heat.

Autumn

Autumn in New Zealand occurs over the months of March, April and May bringing about cooler weather. This is one of the best times of year to visit New Zealand and explore it in a camper van. The weather is excellent and the colourful changing leaves create a pleasant atmosphere of colour and vibrancy. Autumn is the ideal time to visit the Central Otago and Hawke's Bay regions as this is when they come to life and shine. The sharp autumn colours make New Zealand a magnificent sight that is essentially beautiful from every angle.

Winter

Winter starts in June and continues through the months of July and August. This is when the mountain ranges become snow covered and the locals and the tourists take out the skis and snowboards and experience the joy and fun of the white blanketed landscape. The weather is generally very cold so it is advisable that you pack your warm clothes and be prepared to spend countless nights snuggled up in front of the heater or fireplace.

Winter in New Zealand also brings about more rain, which can at times put a damper on your outdoor adventures. When it is not raining, winter is the perfect time to discover stunning glaciers and solid lakes. New Zealand becomes a true winter wonderland over these months and the beauty is simply breath taking.

Spring

Emerging buds and blossoms signal the start of spring in the months of September, October and November. The weather can change from cold and frosty to warm and hot, with many of the mountains remaining snow capped, well into September and October. The season of spring is celebrated in Central Otago and Hastings with a blossom festival, which highlights the emerging colours and wildlife that spring brings forth. Spring is the perfect time to visit New Zealand and hire a campervan, if you are seeking pleasant weather that is not too hot and not too cold, but just right!

An Experience You Will Remember Forever

A campervan journey will bring you into closer contact with both the scenery and the locals you encounter on the road. It is a holiday that you will remember forever because it was different from your normal trip to the beach to stay in the same apartment again.

 

Freedom

Imagine spending time where you want, taking roads just because you want to see where they go and staying longer in places you are really enjoying.

Wake up and decide where to go today, no fixed itinerary to follow. Stay at caravan parks to use their facilities or utilise the freedom to pull up at one of the hundreds of beautiful national parks.

 

Adventure and Comfort in the Outdoors

They say that New Zealand is the Adventure Capital of the World: Horse riding, safaris, 4WD tours, quad bikes, tramping, mountain climbing, bungy jumping, hot-air balloons, kayaking – the list goes on. You’ll find that wherever your New Zealand motorhome holiday takes you, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to adventure activities where the emphasis is on your safety and an experience you'll never forget.

If something more sedate is your style then New Zealand can cater for that too. Our golf courses are spectacular and numerous, and green fees are affordable. Open beaches and secluded bays offer safe swimming and sunbathing (a warning – beware of our strong sun and be sure to use a good sunblock to protect your skin). Walkways and cycling tracks abound.

Wining and dining is a pleasurable experience in New Zealand. Our wineries produce award winning red and white wines and many incorporate elegant restaurants or lively cafés on their properties where you enjoy fine food with their product. Our Pacific Rim cuisine has fused inspiration from countries as varied as Europe, Thailand, Polynesia, Japan and Vietnam to create a range of flavours that is refreshing and light.

 

Great Value, Greater Fun

Campervan holidays offer you great value. For the one daily price you get both accommodation and vehicle hire in one package. Save money on meals, by shopping in supermarkets rather than eating in restaurants every night. When you feel like lunch pull over into a nice grassy patch by a river on the side of the road and make a sandwich and a coffee.

Campervans come in all sizes up to a 6 berth (six beds), which is a perfect option for a group or family. Groups or couples can travel together and split the cost of the campervan between them. Families can have a wonderful bonding experience, imagine sitting around and playing cards or monopoly at night together.

A campervan holiday provides you with many benefits including: freedom, adventure and value for money. It is an experience to share with the family, with friends and with others out there on the road.

Campervans or Motorhomes are categorised in berths or in simple terms how many people they can sleep comfortably. All of the motorhomes details and features can be viewed on our website.
