Campervan hire prices per day

May to October are the cheapest months, while the Christmas and New Year period (mid-December - mid-January) is the most expensive period.

When is the cheapest time to hire a campervan in New Zealand?

Throughout the year there will be different discounts and promotions active in the world of rental campervans. The same goes for Spaceships. Discounts and promos all depend on the time of the year, supply & demand, weather and lots more variables. It's a complicated process. You will never know when a deal will go live. But once a discount deal is live, we'll always let you know when it will end, which can be a fixed date (deal will end on "date") or can be something like "deal is available until "date" unless sold out prior". It all depends on the type of discount deal.

Discount percentage off the daily price

The discount deal that everyone loves: a certain percentage off the original daily price of a campervan. Sometimes the discount applies to all campervans at all locations but sometimes it's more focused on a specific campervan category or road trip route.

Fixed amount off the daily rental price

Occasionally you will notice a fixed dollar amount taken off the daily rental price. It happens but its less common than a discount percentage off the daily rate.

Extra accessories for free

Another popular deal is the one where optional accessories are included for free. The paid accessories will be added automatically and the price will say zero or FREE.

Free upgrade

Just like in the world of aviation, in the world of rental cars or campervans, a free upgrade can happen as well. How to get a free upgrade? It's complicated as it is all up to the power of the booking computer. It's the same with free upgrades on flights. You never know when it will happen, but when it does it is a pleasant surprise.

The Spaceships travel hack: lock in your price for free

Here's a tip most travellers don't know about. You don't have to book right away to secure a great price. Create an online quote and email it to yourself. this locks in the quoted price for 3 to 7 days, depending on the season.

That gives you time to plan your road trip, compare options or wait for payday, without watching the price slip away. If you decide to go ahead while your quote is still valid, you'll pay exactly the price on your quote, even if online prices have gone up in the meantime. If the quote expires, no worries: you can simply create a new one at the current rate.

And the best part? It's completely free. No promo code needed, no deposit, no strings attached. You only pay the 20% deposit once you actually turn your quote into a booking. So create that quote online and email it to yourself.

Best price online. Guaranteed!

No worries, we offer a Lowest Price Guarantee and Price Match Service, part of our promises. This way you know that the lowest rates for our campervans are on our web site.
