Travellers who closed the loop
Backpackers from across the world buy, drive, and sell back.
🇫🇷 France
Bought, roamed both islands, and handed the keys back in Auckland — no resale stress.
🇩🇪 Germany
Used the van right up to departure day, then took the buy-back offer and caught their flight.
🇵🇱 Poland
Skipped the marketplace listings entirely and sold straight back to a buyer they trusted.
The real worry
Your biggest stress isn't the trip. It's selling the van after.
Listing photos, fielding messages, dropping the price as your flight gets closer, hoping a buyer shows up in the off-season. The buy-back removes all of it — you have a guaranteed buyer in your back pocket from day one, and you can use your campervan right up to the last minute!
How it works
Three stops. One round trip.
We don’t count the kilometres you drove. We just close the loop.
Stop 01 · Land
Buy from our yard
Pick a fully-checked campervan or backpacker car in Auckland. Every vehicle we sell includes the buy-back option.
Stop 02 · Roam
Travel as long as you like
Drive the North and South Islands with no resale stress hanging over you. Use the van right up to your departure — no early listing, no buyer hunting.
Stop 03 · Loop back
We buy it back
Tell us your departure date and we lock in your price. Drop the van in Auckland, walk away with cash, and catch your flight.
Why it's the safest option
We don't nickel-and-dime your trip.
Most dealers slash their offer for every kilometre, every expired sticker, every skipped service. We sell the van expecting an honest road trip — so we stay flexible where it counts.
Kilometres don't count
Drive 5,000 km or 25,000 km — we don't reduce your buy-back price for the distance you covered.
WOF & rego can expire
No penalty if your Warrant of Fitness or registration has run out by the time you return.
Skipped a service? Fine
We won't dock your price because the car wasn't serviced in the last year.
Minor faults are no drama
Small wear-and-tear from real travel is expected. We stay flexible — just bring it back roughly how you got it.
30-50%
That's what you get back — and it's locked to your departure date.
Tell us when you’re flying out and we estimate your buy-back price up front. No guessing games when you return.
Off-season tip — campervans are hard to sell privately between February and August. A guaranteed offer from a reputable campervan dealer can save you thousands versus a last-minute fire sale.
30-DAYS
Free mechanical warranty on every vehicle
All our campervans are fully checked before they leave the yard. Extend cover to 6 or 12 months for added peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions
How does the buy-back option work?
As the same name mentions, there is no obligation to resell the vehicle back to us; it is just optional, and we give that to you when you purchase one of our cars or campervans.
The buy-back option is totally free and especially good for campervans as the year is divided into two seasons: the high season (September to January) and the off-season (February to August).
Campervans are quite hard to sell in the off-season, and having this option from a reputable business can save you thousands of dollars if we compare that with any other dealer’s offer.
How hard is it to reach that price?
Simple and easy, at Travel Cars NZ we mark a big difference against our competency; we don’t look after the km you drove during your trip, we don’t look after WOF or Registration expiration.
We don’t reduce the price if you didn’t service the car in the last year, and we are flexible if there are minor faults in the vehicle.
Where can I sell my campervan back?
Only in Auckland, where we are located.
Can you help if I'm in the South Island?
Our yard is only in Auckland, but we have an online service for our customers and noncustomers, which means you can list it online at Travel Cars NZ website.
Facebook page and backpacker Facebook groups are available for maximum exposure by using our ”Ultimate Liting Package”
If you have been one of your customers, we can offer you other quick sale options depending on your needs and location.
If im not a Travel Cars NZ customer, can I sell my car & campervan there?
There are no guarantees that we will give you a cash offer for your campervan if you didn’t buy it from us, as we give preference to our customers and our yard parking is limited.
