Buying a Backpacker Car from Travel Cars NZ
We’re only located 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 the buying process really easy (and safe) for any traveler looking to purchase a backpacker car or campervan.
→ Buy-Back Option
We commit to buying any of our cars back within a period of 12 months.
That means you can get up to 50% of your money back regardless if you didn’t maintain your car accordingly, we can do it!
This option is recommended for travelers who are planning to tour New Zealand for 10 weeks or more since any period of time below that won’t be worth it, in that case, a rental option will be a better option.
♦ For more information about the Buy-Back option, please follow this link: FAQ—Travel Cars Buy-Backs
→ Park & Sell Option
A good option if you are planning to sell your car or campervan during the low season (March-August). In this scenario, we give you a higher price than buying your car back at the moment, so when the car is sold you will get paid a better price!
→ Mechanical Warranty
We offer a FREE 30-Day Mechanical Warranty on all the vehicles we sell. We also offer a paid mechanical warranty for 12 months with On Road Assistance included, if you travel for a shorter period of time you can transfer this mechanical warranty to the next car owner, so you can sell your car with the warranty included.
