Save yourself the time and hassle of landing in New Zealand and THEN starting your quest for a car or campervan.

  • Travel Cars NZ offers the popular option of selecting and securing your car or campervan before you arrive in New Zealand for a stress-free start to your New Zealand travels.

 

STEP 1—Get In Touch With Us

Contact us and let us know what kind of vehicle you are after, for a faster response you can directly call us at 021 303 619 (available on Whatsapp +64 21 303 619).

 

This could be a fully self-contained campervan, a non-self-contained campervan, a station wagon with a built-in bed, or a van with seats in the back and no bed.

STEP 2—Review Your Vehicle Options

We will let you know what vehicles are in stock or will have in stock by the time you arrive in New Zealand.

 

We will send you information on the vehicles, including price, and then you can decide which is best for you.

  • Not only that, but we can also customize any empty vehicle to your needs, to give you a better idea of the different types of campervans we sell, you can check the following article: Campervan Conversions in Auckland

 

STEP 3—Pay Your Deposit

You deposit 10 to 20% (depending on the price of the car) into the Travel Cars NZ bank account to secure the vehicle. Many customers use Wise, but others will transfer directly from their bank. When you show proof of transfer, the campervan is reserved.

 

📌 We highly recommend having ready a Wise account at your arrival, as payments are instant and with $0 fees.

STEP 4—Relax and Countdown

High Five! You have gotten what, for many, is the most stressful part of their trip taken care of.

 

Now, you can focus on where you will take your campervan, what you will name him/her, and what you will pack.

STEP 5—Land in Auckland

Once you arrive in Auckland, as soon as you have recovered from the plane ride, you make your way out to Travel Cars NZ car yard, and we will have the paperwork ready to go.

 

You will have a test drive with us, and we will talk you through the best way to maintain the vehicle and answer any questions about traveling and driving in New Zealand.

  • If you need assistance with getting insurance or additional mechanical warranty, we can advise/help you to get them before you drive away.
