✅ Last Update:
Instead of selling your campervan for quick cash, Travel Cars New Zealand offers an alternative: selling on behalf. This means you’ll receive more money for your vehicle, but only once it’s sold.
- Let’s dive into the details of the process and what you need to consider before making this decision.
1. How Safe is The "On Behalf" Option?
The safety of selling on behalf depends on who you entrust your vehicle to. Compared to a dealer’s quick cash payment, this option can be a more secure and profitable alternative.
At Travel Cars NZ, we offer peace of mind. As a registered car dealer, we provide a signed contract stating how much you will be paid once your vehicle is sold—no surprises.
Since 2013, we have specialized in selling campervans and backpacker cars, ensuring the best price and market timing.
2. Guarantees & Payment Concerns
We guarantee a sale within six months. If your campervan isn’t sold by then, you will still receive the minimum price stated in the contract.
For example, if your campervan is worth $15,000 in peak season, and we agree on a minimum price of $13,500, you will receive that amount regardless of whether it sells.
💰 Accepted Payment Methods:
- Wise
- New Zealand bank transfer
- International bank transfer
We do not accept PayPal or cryptocurrency payments. Before entering an agreement, ensure you have access to one of our accepted payment options.
3. Vehicles We Do NOT Accept
Travel Cars NZ buys vehicles regularly, but not all qualify for the “on behalf” service. We do not accept:
- Vehicles worth less than $10,000
- Vehicles older than 1997
- Vehicles with major mechanical or bodywork issues
- Campervans worth over $10,000 with poor interior conversions or in poor condition
4. Finding the Sale Price Before Leaving Your Campervan
To determine your vehicle’s sale price, contact us via WhatsApp with technical details and photos.
We will assess your campervan and confirm if it qualifies for the “on behalf” option. We can also provide a quick cash offer so you can compare both options.
📌 Seasonal Note: If you leave your campervan with us between March and July, it will not be listed for sale until mid-August, with likely sales occurring between September and October.
5. Fees for Selling Your Campervan on Behalf
