If you are planning a holiday this year, consider renting a campervan in New Zealand and spending some time there.
The Freedom Of The Road
Lets face it, group tours are boring and you feel like a sheep being herded along by a Shepard. When you have a vehicle it gives you the option to go anywhere you want whenever you want! There is so much to see and do between the two islands and with relatively short driving distances you will never need to drive to far to be at your destination.
Is It Expensive?
A tough question to give an accurate answer to.. There are some different factors that will affect your costs such as the style of camper, where you park at night, the amount of people on the trip, if you eat out or cook for yourselves.. There are lots of Department of Conservation park up spots designed for those traveling around New Zealand in a campervan and some have showers, toilets and power. Grap a map or check online at the DOC website for information. To stay in a holiday park can be as much as $30 per person. That is crazy, and if you are already paying for a camper, why spend this much money?
Chill Out Time
The pictures of campervans by the beach with the surf on the background and a bunch of happy people sitting around has been in my head for years. Campervans give you the freedom to chill out and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine right by the beach. Your music can be playing and some food on the stove. Good times!
Travel With Friends
You will have a much more fun experience if you travel with friends of a partner than if you go at it alone. There is so much fun to be had driving around New Zealand with some good buddies on a road trip. Traveling with a partner can be an amazing life experience and be great for your relationship, creating memories that will last forever.. There is something very special about New Zealand.
To Rent or Buy A Campervan?
If you rented your campervan, fair enough the money has been spent but if you opted to buy a camper, you can sell your campervan for round the same price as you bought it. They hold their value in New Zealand very well and you can expect to sell it for as much as you bought it for no problem. This will give you money for a few months in Asia after if you want to keep traveling! Try to sell it before the summer ends so you can get maximum cash back while there is still a high demand for campervans, as in autumn and winter the chilly nights can put people off buying them.
