2. Buying a Backpacker Car in Auckland from Travel Cars NZ
We’re only in Auckland, so we can’t arrange any bookings outside this region.
However, you can find more vehicles for sale on our website from private sellers.
As a campervan business, we offer different options to make buying easy (and safe) for any traveler looking to purchase a backpacker car or campervan.
💰 Buy-Back Option
We commit to repurchasing any of our cars within 12 months. That means you can get up to 50% of your money back.
Regardless of whether you didn’t maintain your car accordingly, we can do it!
This option is recommended for travelers planning to tour New Zealand for ten weeks or more, since any period below that won’t be worth it.
In that case, a rental option will be a better option.

🚐 Park & Sell Option
A good option if you are planning to sell your backpacker car or campervan during the low season (March-August).
In this scenario, we give you a higher price than repurchasing your car immediately, so you will get paid a better price when the vehicle is sold!
🔧 Mechanical Warranty
Experience peace of mind with our exclusive warranty offerings at Travel Cars NZ.
Every vehicle you purchase from us comes with a complimentary 30-day Mechanical Warranty, ensuring a smooth start to your journey.
For those seeking extended coverage, our premium option includes a 12-month paid mechanical warranty with the added benefit of On-Road Assistance.
Moreover, if your travel plans are shorter than the warranty period, you can transfer this comprehensive coverage to the next owner when selling your car.
3. Renting a Backpacker Car or Campervan
Our stock of campervan rentals is limited, and most of the time, the campervans are fully booked unless you book at least three months in advance.
