You can start and finish your motorhome rental at any of the three depot locations: Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch.
If you return the motorhome to a different depot from your pick-up location, a one-way fee may apply. This fee is often waived for hires of 21 days or more.
No, our packages do not include holiday park passes, but New Zealand offers a wide range of affordable and accessible options for overnight stays in a motorhome.
Holiday parks are a popular choice and are located near most major tourist towns and scenic attractions. They provide powered and non-powered sites, with access to shared kitchens, bathrooms, BBQ areas, and often play areas or swimming pools—ideal for families and comfort-focused travellers.
For those seeking quieter or more remote stays, Department of Conservation (DOC) campsites are available throughout the country, often in spectacular natural settings with walking trails nearby. Facilities vary from basic to well-equipped.
If you're travelling on a budget or prefer more flexibility, freedom camping is permitted in many areas, provided you follow local regulations and use a certified self-contained motorhome. To plan your overnight stops, use trusted apps like CamperMate, Rankers Camping NZ, or Campable—they show locations of campsites, public toilets, and waste stations.
Our motorhome packages include standard insurance, but this usually comes with a high excess (liability)—often NZ$5,000 to NZ$7,500. If the vehicle is damaged, you’re responsible for this amount unless you choose to upgrade.
Most rental providers offer optional insurance upgrades that we can add to your package:
Even with premium cover, exclusions can apply—such as damage from unauthorised roads or misuse.
Full insurance details, including terms and upgrade options, will be provided with your personalised quote.
