Spaceships: the Swiss Army Knife of Campervans

That's how it all started. Travellers from all over the world loved our compact yet versatile campervans. They really are as versatile as a Swiss Army Knife. From this humble beginning Spaceships New Zealand has grown into a leading campervan rental company that takes care of customers and cares for the environment. Combined with our geekiness and our ability to turn classic paperwork into streamlined digital processes, you can be certain that every step of the campervan rental process is as easy as possible.

All members of the Spaceships team in New Zealand are addicted to travel. We all know how important it is to make the whole experience as easy as possible. From the moment you book your rental campervan to the last day of your road trip when you are ready to drop off the campervan again, all processes are fully digital and can be done at any time of the day. Our systems are at your disposal, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Taking rental campervans to the next level

Modest as we are, we are proud to say that only Spaceships can blast to the next level of travellers' expectations. Why? You will need to travel at the speed of light to take it to the next level. And that is something only a Spaceship can do. Each of our Spaceships rental campervans comes with its own individual name.

As fans of sci-fi, fantasy, games and geeky movies, all our rental campervans are named after our favourite characters. It is always a surprise which amazing-ly named rental campervan you will be driving, but you can always be sure that you are the only one driving that one. No two Spaceships campervans have the same name. Each one is as unique as you, our Space Travellers.
