The rental company

Jucy, New Zealand's green and purple van

Jucy is a New Zealand brand, and it is in its home country that its green and purple vans are most numerous on the roads. Its local network has four depots, two on each island: Auckland and Wellington in the north, Christchurch and Queenstown in the south. All are located near the airports, in Mangere, Rongotai, Frankton or north-west of Christchurch.

The range is made up of automatic vans: the Crib, the Cabana and the Coaster for two, the Chaser for three, then the Compass, the Condo, the Condo Plus and the Cruiser for four. The three models recorded in October 2026, Crib, Chaser and Condo, are all offered with unlimited mileage.

The recorded excess is around €1,519 on the Crib and €2,532 on the Chaser and the Condo. It is given in each offer, with the options to reduce it.

Our verdict: a well-established brand, with vehicles that are easy to get to grips with and depots well placed for linking the two islands. CoolDrive customers give it 4.3 out of 5. Limits: no coachbuilt motorhome and no more than four berths, which steers large families towards other rental companies.

Our view

Jucy Rentals: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Jucy Rentals is ideal if…

  • You want to travel both islands by van, from Northland to Fiordland
  • You are landing in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or Queenstown and want to collect the van without crossing the city
  • Driving on the left worries you: an automatic gearbox makes getting used to it easier
  • You are travelling as two on a small budget: the Crib has the lowest recorded excess in the range
  • You plan to drive a lot: no offer recorded caps the kilometres

Jucy Rentals is not ideal if…

  • There are five or more of you: Jucy vans stop at four berths
  • You want a separate shower and toilet, as in a coachbuilt motorhome
  • You are setting off from Dunedin, Nelson or Rotorua, where Jucy has no depot
  • You want to drive without committing to an excess of over €2,500 on the Condo or the Chaser
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Jucy Rentals

  1. Plan the Cook Strait crossing

    Between Wellington and Picton, getting from one island to the other is by ferry, in a little over three hours. Book the crossing early in summer, as vehicle spaces go quickly. Before booking, read the rental company's terms on the ferry: they specify whether the van can make the crossing.

  2. Find out about freedom camping

    In New Zealand, freedom camping is regulated: many sites are only open to certified self-contained vehicles, with a toilet and a waste water tank. Check in the offer whether the model you choose has this certification. If not, plan nights at campsites or Department of Conservation sites.

  3. Choose your season

    In our records, the lowest medians fall in July and April, the highest in October and January, in the height of the southern summer. Winter suits the ski resorts around Queenstown, but some passes may require snow chains. Spring and autumn offer a good compromise between weather and crowds.

  4. Walk round the van before setting off

    At the depot, take a few minutes to photograph the bodywork, test the stove, the lighting and the bed, and check the kitchen inventory. Save the rental company's assistance number in your phone: on the remote roads of the West Coast, there is sometimes no mobile signal.

  5. Allow plenty of time for journeys

    New Zealand roads are often narrow, winding and two-lane. A 200 km journey can take more than three hours, especially in the mountains of the South Island. Plan short stages and keep time for photo stops.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Jucy Rentals

How much does a Jucy hire cost in New Zealand?

For a 15-day hire, the cheapest Jucy van in our prices recorded in October 2026 costs €17 per day in July, mandatory fees included. Median prices reach around €73 per day in July, €86 in April, €115 in October and €120 in January. The actual rate depends on the model, the depot and your dates: run a search to find out.

Do Jucy vans have unlimited mileage in New Zealand?

Yes. The Jucy offers recorded by CoolDrive in New Zealand, on the Crib, the Chaser and the Condo, impose no kilometre limit. This is valuable for a full tour of both islands, from Auckland to Milford Sound. The other rental companies recorded in the country do the same, but the mileage line of each offer should still be read before booking.

Which Jucy model should I choose for the number of travellers?

A couple will be well served by the Crib, the Cabana or the Coaster, all with two berths. The high-roof Chaser takes three people. For four, look at the Condo, the Condo Plus, the Compass or the Cruiser. Think about the excess too: the one recorded on the Crib is much lower than on the Condo.

Are Jucy Rentals and Chill'd by JUCY the same thing?

The two brands share the Jucy name, but not the same range. In New Zealand, Jucy Rentals offers vans with two to four berths from four cities. Chill'd by JUCY adds a large motorhome, the Big Kahuna, which offers six berths, departing from three cities. Compare both in the search engine for your dates and number of travellers.

Where are the Jucy depots in New Zealand?

Jucy welcomes its customers in Auckland (Mangere), Wellington (Rongotai), Christchurch (Orchard Road) and Queenstown (Frankton). These four addresses are close to the airports, without being in the terminals: a taxi or shuttle provides the link. Opening times and any transfers are stated in your offer and your confirmation.

Avis Vérifiés

We rented a campervan in New Zealand for December 2020. It was the best value for money offer we found online (and I did a ton of comparisons). We had to cancel our vacation 4 days before departure (Thursday to pick up our vehicle on Tuesday). I really thought we had lost all the money we had paid, and it totally demoralized us. Then I received an email from Olivier saying that he would do what he could to obtain a one-year postponement for this rental, and he did it! We were really relieved. We will therefore go to New Zealand in December 2021, but with an extra baby seat in the campervan! :) And I will come back to give a more detailed review of the rental itself... In any case, Olivier did a great job (during peak season, Christmas, with an 11-hour time difference with France for us, plus the New Zealand time difference, the weekend, etc.), so hats off to him and his professionalism. Thanks again!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Jucy campervan hire in New Zealand

Why book Jucy with CoolDrive?

On CoolDrive, a single search shows Jucy vans alongside those of other New Zealand rental companies, at a rate that already includes mandatory fees. Mileage, excess and options can be read before paying. Our experts answer your questions about the route or the model, and the packs offered by CoolDrive come on top of your hire.

What is the excess with Jucy in New Zealand?

According to our October 2026 records, the excess is around €1,519 on the Crib and €2,532 on the Chaser and the Condo. Each offer gives the exact amount and any reduction options. Bring a credit card with a sufficient limit for the security deposit, which Jucy returns when the vehicle comes back undamaged.

Can I pick up the van in Auckland and return it in Queenstown?

A one-way journey between two Jucy depots, for example from Auckland to Christchurch or from Wellington to Queenstown, may be offered depending on the offer, with any fees. To find out, choose a different arrival city in the search engine: only compatible offers are shown, with their price. Such a route saves driving back the same way.

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

A car driving licence is enough for Jucy vans. If your licence is not in English, New Zealand law requires you to carry an international driving permit or an approved translation with it. Each offer specifies the required age and the number of years of driving licence requested; fees may be added for young drivers. You drive on the left throughout the country.

Can I sleep anywhere with a Jucy van?

No. Freedom camping is regulated in New Zealand and many sites reserve it for certified self-contained vehicles. Before setting off, check in the offer whether your model carries this certification. Camping apps and local council signs show where you can spend the night. Paid campsites and Department of Conservation sites remain the safest options.

When should I hire a Jucy van in New Zealand?

According to our records, July and April are the cheapest months, January and October the most expensive. The southern summer, from December to February, attracts the most travellers: book early. Autumn, in March and April, often offers weather that is still mild and quieter roads, particularly on the South Island.

About us

Hire a Jucy van in New Zealand with CoolDrive Nomad

In New Zealand, Jucy is playing at home. Its automatic vans depart from Auckland and Wellington on the North Island, and from Christchurch and Queenstown on the South Island, always close to the airports. The range runs from the Crib for two to the Condo and the Cruiser for four, and all the offers recorded by CoolDrive leave kilometres unlimited, an advantage for linking the Tongariro volcanoes, the West Coast glaciers and the fjords of Fiordland.

CoolDrive Nomad sets Jucy against other rental companies in the country, such as Chill'd by JUCY, Escape Campervans, Lucky Rentals or Spaceships Rentals. The price shown includes mandatory fees. Before booking, look at the model's excess, the self-contained certification and the terms for the ferry between the two islands. Our experts help you choose the departure depot and the season.
