Cheap Campervan
Hire in New Zealand
Stunned at what they want for a camper van hire here in New Zealand? Outrageous isn't it?! So let Downtown Rentals give you the answer to cheap camper van rental - a Backpacker SleeperVan. These are mid 90s model vans fitted out with a sleeping deck in the back. This gives you plenty of sleeping room, with space to store all your gear. Plus you get all the rest of the stuff you need for camping out - a gas cooker, pots, pans, crockery, cutlery etc. And pillows, pillow slips, a bottom sheet. You can camp out in the stunning outdoors that makes NZ the most beautiful place on earth and live wild for a few days if you want. Very important: These are not luridly painted vehicles with dopey graphics that scream "tourists" from every panel. (I mean, would you want to drive around in a van that had "Blowjobs are a great last minute gift" written on the back?. No kidding, that's on one of our competitors' vans!?) Unless you know exactly what to look for (one tiny little sticker required by law) you'd never know that one of ours was a rental vehicle. Please note: We now only have a very limited number of these vehicles because we are gradually phasing them out. You are advised to make early bookings. But do remember this: These are aimed at backpackers - they are older vehicles with their share of battle scars on the outside. They are, however, well-maintained and we do our utmost best to ensure a trouble-free run. If you want to add a little luxury to your life and travels here, have a look at our later model, up-spec SuperSleepervans. Or if you are travelling with a family - and that's not cheap - take a FamilyCampingVan for great fun low-cost holidaying. There are two types of Backpacker SleeperVan:
Equipment: Each van contains a two-burner gas cooker, a
chilly bin (OK - you'd probably call it a cooler or, if you're an
Aussie, an esky) and utensil set which contains 2 pots, 1 fry pan, 4
plates, 4 side plates, 4 dessert plates, 2 mugs,
bucket, plastic bowl, knives, forks, dessert spoons,
teaspoons, can opener, vegetable knife, large kitchen
knife, chopping board, egg slice, tea towels, 2 chairs, folding camp
table. One way hires: For one-way hires between Auckland and Christchurch or vice versa, surcharges apply as follows:
The reason for these surcharges is that we are faced with the cost of transporting vehicles between cities at a cost of about $550. Hires into or out of Wellington can also be arranged. The surcharges are as follows:
Early Purchasse Discounts. Book and pay in advance and get an extra discount as follows:
Backpacker MiniVans
* Subject to discounts - see above. Backpacker MidiVans
* Subject to discounts - see above. If your hire crosses the boundary dates of these seasons you'll only be charged the daily rate applicable to the period concerned. Important: We charge on a 24 hour basis - not a calendar day basis like a lot of other companies. That can save you a whole day's hire charge. Please be aware of our late return penalties when vans are returned without authorisation after the agreed date.
