Campervan Hire at Dunedin Airport (DUD)
Dunedin doesn’t have as many campervan rental options as bigger cities like Christchurch or Auckland. The choices here are more limited, so it’s a good idea to book early if you want to make sure you get the van you need.
Most rental companies don’t have depots right at Dunedin Airport, but some do offer pickup or drop-off services to make things easier when you arrive by plane.
While the selection isn’t huge, Dunedin is still a great place to start your South Island road trip, especially if you’re exploring the Otago region or heading south to the Catlins. Just plan ahead to avoid last-minute hassles.
Planning to Go ''Self-Contained''?
In New Zealand, a self-contained campervan means it has all the basics you need to live and sleep comfortably without relying on outside facilities. This usually means the van has its own toilet, fresh water supply, and waste storage.
With a self-contained van, you can park and stay overnight in many more spots—including popular free camping areas where no extra amenities are available.
