Tips on getting an Auckland campervan rental that suits your needs

For couples, 2 berth campervans offer a cozy setup with basic amenities. Small families or groups may prefer 4 berth options, while larger groups can opt for 6 berth campervans or spacious motorhomes. Some rentals even offer campervans with roof tents for additional sleeping space. To get the best price, make sure you book in advance, especially during peak seasons, to ensure availability and secure the best rates.
Next, think about the amenities you'll need for your Auckland, New Zealand road trip. Campervans and motorhomes are fully equipped for sleeping, eating and general everyday living. Most come with beddings and if you have a kitchen, it should come with cutlery, crockery, electric appliances etc. When it comes to grills and extra propane tanks, ovens to microwaves, you can customize your campervan with optional extras to enhance your travel experience.
Picking up your campervan
Once you have booked, you will be provided with instructions on how to collect your vehicle. In most cases, you simply need to make your way to the supplier depot at the agreed upon time. The team at the depot will then take through the vehicle details and make sure you have all the information you need to have an enjoyable trip. Note that this can sometimes take up to 45 minutes, so allow extra time when collecting your vehicle.
