Campervan Hire at Wellington Airport (WLG)
Hiring a campervan at Wellington Airport is pretty straightforward. Most rental companies don’t have depots inside the airport, but many are just a short drive away.
Some brands—like JUCY, Tui Campers, and Freedom Campers—offer free shuttle pick-up from the terminal, which makes things easier if you're flying in and want to get on the road quickly.
Wellington isn’t as big a campervan hub, but it’s still a solid place to start your trip— especially if you’re planning to catch the ferry to the South Island or explore the lower North Island.
Just be sure to check your pick-up instructions in advance, since depot hours and shuttle services can vary. Once you're sorted, the open road is right there waiting.
Planning to Go ''Self-Contained''?
In New Zealand, a self-contained campervan lets you camp without needing toilets or kitchens nearby. Your van will have its own toilet, fresh water, and waste tank.
This gives you more freedom—you can sleep in more places, including free camping spots in nature.

Motorhome & RV Hire
Whether you’re after a luxury motorhome or just a good deal on a 4-berth or 6-berth van, we’ve got options that fit your trip.
Our Travel Cars NZ search tool checks deals from different rental companies so you can find the best van without the hassle.
Wellington has a solid range of campervans, but it’s still a good idea to book 2–3 months ahead— especially in summer when things get busy.
