EPIC Campers

Hit the road from Auckland with your partner, best mate or solo in one of the cleverly designed 2-berth campervans of EPIC Campers.

Enjoy the benefits of freedom camping thanks to the campervan’s self-containment certification, as well as quality interiors, such as a fold-out kitchenette and manoeuvrable living/sleeping space.

Travellers Autobarn

If you want to hire a compact campervan that’s got more to offer than a standard budget campervan, then consider Travellers Autobarn.

The campervan rental company based in Auckland and Christchurch has small campervans suitable for up to two adults and three children, which is ideal for those travelling as a family but don’t want the expense that comes with a large motorhome.

As a side note, to make the campervan certified self-contained in order to freedom camp, rather than paying for campsites, it is an extra NZ$50 to hire a portable toilet.

Book your campervan at travellers-autobarn.co.nz. Plus, check out our review of their “Kuga” campervan.
