MotorHomes
In New Zealand
Hire a camper van or Motor Home for you New Zealand tour.
Campervan hire is becoming very popular. A camper van gives
you the freedom to take each day as it comes. Roam the country,
finding beautiful and remote places to park and picnic.
Overnight
you’ll find it convenient to book a powered site
in a holiday park or camping ground. The kitchen, laundry
and bathroom facilities are handy and many sites have
great positions at the edge of a lake or by the beach.
Free camping may be possible, but it’s wise to check
with the local information centre before you park for
the night.
Daily
camper rental rates vary according to the season and are
based on unlimited kilometres per day. Other costs include
insurance and a bond that is refundable at the end of
your holiday. For travel during summer and autumn, it’s
best to book your motorhome before you arrive in New Zealand.
The usual minimum age to rent a motorhome is 21 years.
New Zealand Motor Caravan Association
The New Zealand Motor Caravan Association was founded
in 1956, and has grown from a small club to a large association.
Our aims are to travel our country enjoying all the beautiful
places that New Zealand has to offer. To promote the self
propelled caravan movement by improving the conditions
for motorhoming throughout New Zealand. To encourage motor
caravan owners to make their vehicles self contained,
taking pride in keeping our country clean.
With
more than 30,000 members, and over 17,098 vehicles ranging
from converted buses to motorhomes to commercially built
campervans, there are members the length and breadth of
New Zealand.
Over
the years the Executive have worked for better conditions
for our members, in particular the development of a self-containment
scheme which has now been adopted by the Standards Council
as the official self-containment standard for motor caravans
and caravans.
The
majority of our members' motorhomes are used for recreational
purposes during the holidays or on the weekends. There
are a few who choose to use their motor caravans for permanent
living. While many of these have 'normal' jobs, others
are on the road, often working in orchards or market gardens
during harvest time.
There
are people of all ages and from all walks of life in the
NZMCA who enjoy the outdoor life, our lakes, rivers, bush
and beaches and take pride in caring for our environment.
