The rental company

Campervan Village, simple vans for crossing the country from north to south

Campervan Village rents campervans in New Zealand as well as in Australia. On the New Zealand side, the network follows travellers’ classic route: a depot in Auckland, in the Mangere district near the airport, another in Christchurch, in Yaldhurst, and a third in Queenstown, in Frankton. The rental company highlights one-way trips between these three cities, depending on the dates.

Two models appear in the range listed, both with an automatic gearbox. The Aventus offers two seats and two berths. The Aventus Plus adds a third berth, but its listing mentions only two seats.

In our October 2026 records, every Campervan Village offer in New Zealand includes unlimited mileage. The excess recorded is close to €3,800 on all vans; a paid option to lower it is generally offered.

Our verdict: a budget-friendly formula outside the peak season, ideal for a couple who want to travel from Auckland to Queenstown without going back to their starting point. Its limits: no model for a family of four, a high excess for vehicles of this size and prices that more than double in January.

Our view

Campervan Village: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Campervan Village is ideal if…

  • You are travelling as a couple and a compact van is enough for you
  • You dream of an Auckland–Queenstown trip without returning to your starting point
  • You are travelling outside the peak season and looking for a low price
  • Your tour takes in both islands and you do not want to count the kilometres
  • You want to start in Christchurch for Kaikoura, Arthur's Pass or Lake Tekapo

Campervan Village is not ideal if…

  • There are four or more of you: no model listed allows this
  • You want a coachbuilt motorhome with a proper lounge
  • Having an excess of nearly €3,800 at stake worries you
  • You are travelling in January: the recorded median then exceeds €100 per day
  • You plan to depart from Wellington, where the brand has no depot
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Campervan Village

  1. Make the most of the three depots

    With one depot in the North and two in the South, Campervan Village lends itself well to a linear trip: pick-up in Auckland, return in Christchurch or Queenstown. Enter the return city from the start of your search: one-way fees, if any, are shown with the price.

  2. For three, count the seat belts

    The Aventus Plus offers three berths, but its listing advertises two seats. Before booking for three adults, check with our experts how the third traveller can be carried legally.

  3. Aim for the shoulder season

    In our records, the median for a van rises from €40 per day in July to €101 in January. April and October stay close to winter prices, with milder days: a good compromise for the South, where winter brings snow and slippery roads on the passes.

  4. Plan your nights before departure

    Freedom camping is only allowed in certain places and, generally, only for vehicles certified self-contained. If your van is not, identify campsites and Department of Conservation sites along your route in advance, especially in summer when they fill up quickly.

  5. Inspect the van at pick-up

    Before leaving the depot, take photos of each side of the van, check the lighting, stove and crockery provided, and report the slightest defect to the staff. Keep the rental company’s assistance number to hand for the whole trip.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Campervan Village

How much does a Campervan Village hire cost in New Zealand?

Over 15 days, mandatory fees included, our prices recorded in October 2026 put Campervan Village vans from €25 per day in July. The median is €40 in July, €46 in October, €48 in April and €101 in January. The Aventus Plus, with its third berth, starts at around €40 per day.

Aventus or Aventus Plus: which van should I choose?

The Aventus suits two travellers who want a vehicle that is easy to handle, with an automatic gearbox. The Aventus Plus adds a third berth, handy for gaining space or taking a child, but it keeps two seats according to its listing. Compare the equipment listed in each model’s details before deciding.

Is a one-way hire from Auckland to Queenstown possible?

It is one of the strengths the rental company highlights: its three depots in Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown lend themselves to one-way hires. Availability and fees nevertheless depend on the dates and the direction of travel. Enter Queenstown as your return city in the CoolDrive search engine: it shows only compatible offers.

Where can I collect a Campervan Village van?

In Auckland, the depot is on Ascot Road in Mangere, not far from the international airport. In Christchurch, it is on Pukaki Road in Yaldhurst, west of the city. In Queenstown, the address is on Glenda Drive, in Frankton. None is in a terminal: the exact address and opening hours appear on your confirmation.

Is mileage unlimited with Campervan Village?

Yes for New Zealand: all offers recorded in October 2026, on every model and in every city, include unlimited mileage. A one-way trip from Auckland to Queenstown via Rotorua, Wellington, the west coast and the glaciers therefore comes with no distance surcharge. Just remember fuel and the ferry ticket.

The car was very good. It's just that for tall people (I am 1.89m), it's short for sleeping lengthwise. With 20 cm more, it would have been more comfortable. But that's just something to know when you are tall. We also hadn't been really warned about the legislation regarding Self Contained vehicles in New Zealand. Since the vehicle did not meet these standards, we spent two months looking for free camping spots, often stressing about getting caught. But we faced zero fines in 2 months. Finally, the fridge never worked in the car, but we had just experienced that for a month and a half in Australia as well, so we were used to living without a fridge.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campervan Village campervan hire in New Zealand

Why book Campervan Village with CoolDrive?

Aventus vans appear on CoolDrive among the offers of the country’s other rental companies, each with a price in which mandatory fees are already included. Excess, mileage and one-way fees can be read before payment. If you are unsure about the return city or the right model, our experts are there to answer.

What excess and security deposit apply with Campervan Village?

For both the Aventus and the Aventus Plus, our records show an excess of between €3,798 and €3,800. This cap corresponds to the most you would pay in the event of damage. The security deposit is generally paid by credit card; a paid option, detailed in the offer, often allows you to reduce this sum.

What licence do I need to drive a van in New Zealand?

Your valid car licence is suitable for an Aventus. If it is written in a language other than English, it must be accompanied by an international licence or an officially recognised translation. Traffic drives on the left: the Aventus’s automatic gearbox helps you get used to it. The minimum age and years of licence are shown in each offer.

Can the van cross Cook Strait?

For a trip covering both islands, the van has to board a ferry, in Wellington or Picton. The rental company’s rules on this appear in the rental terms, to be checked before booking. Budget for the cost of the crossing on top and book it early for dates in the southern summer.

Is Campervan Village suitable for a family?

For a family of four, no: both models listed have only two seats, and the Aventus Plus tops out at three berths. From four travellers upwards, look instead at the motorhomes of other New Zealand rental companies. The CoolDrive search engine lets you filter offers by number of passengers.

What is on board an Aventus van?

The exact equipment depends on the model and appears in the details of each offer: bed, kitchen area, storage and accessories provided. Before setting off, check the crockery and equipment with the depot agent, and ask how the stove and lighting work. This quick inventory avoids unpleasant surprises at your first campsite.
