From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Our van\u2014a Toyota Hiace named Moana\u2014was in impeccable condition: spotlessly clean, thoughtfully designed, and clearly very well cared for despite having some miles on it. It was also incredibly easy to drive, which made a big difference since it felt just as manageable as a regular car. The bed was especially comfortable and more than spacious enough for the two of us, making for great nights of sleep after long days exploring. One of the standout features was the clever storage design. The pullout shelves beneath the bed were perfect for stowing our backpacks and hiking poles, keeping everything organized and easily accessible without cluttering the living space. Pickup and drop-off couldn\u2019t have been smoother. It was just a quick 20-minute Uber from the airport to the owners\u2019 home, where Ronnie and Rebecca welcomed us warmly. They took the time to walk us through every feature of the van and even shared their personal contact information in case we needed help on the road. When we returned the van, they were genuinely excited to hear about our journey and even invited us in for coffee\u2014an offer we would have loved to accept if not for a flight to catch. Customer service was excellent throughout. Even before arriving in New Zealand, the team at Quirky Campers was quick to respond to our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. We explored an incredible route through the South Island\u2014Christchurch, Franz Josef Glacier, Wanaka, Queenstown, Te Anau, Milford Sound, and Lake Tekapo\u2014and having such a reliable, comfortable campervan made the entire experience that much better. We had zero issues during the trip and would rent Moana from Ronnie and Rebecca again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a painless, memorable campervan adventure in New Zealand!<!-- R-CONTENT --><\/div> <span class=\"ti-read-more\" data-container=\".ti-review-text\" data-collapse-text=\"Hide\" data-open-text=\"Read more\"><\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-platform-icon ti-with-tooltip\"> <span class=\"ti-tooltip\">Posted on Google<\/span> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/icon.svg\" alt=\"Google\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-review-header\"> <div class=\"ti-profile-img\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKh9vpFApmnNQ1ytmU-1VHxeaIWc6V_aXXjZ83bcETN7oJUYA=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-br100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKh9vpFApmnNQ1ytmU-1VHxeaIWc6V_aXXjZ83bcETN7oJUYA=w80-h80-c-rp-mo-br100 2x\" alt=\"Sean Taylor profile picture\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-details\"> <div class=\"ti-name\"> Sean Taylor <\/div> <div class=\"ti-date\"><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>  <div data-empty=\"0\" data-time=\"1776384000\" class=\"ti-review-item source-Google ti-image-layout-thumbnail\" data-id=\"cfcd208495d565ef66e7dff9f98764da\" data-language=\"\"> <div class=\"ti-inner\"> <div class=\"ti-review-content\"> <span class=\"ti-stars\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 1\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 2\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 3\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 4\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 5\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><span class=\"ti-verified-review ti-verified-platform\"><span class=\"ti-verified-tooltip\">Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <div class=\"ti-review-text-container ti-review-text\"><!-- R-CONTENT -->When I was searching the many camper-van hire options, I kept coming back to Quirky Campers and I am so glad I did! My friend and I hired 'Vallery' - a camper van with artistic flair! The two bed camper (one large queen-size bed and smaller single bed) was equipped with everything we needed including cooking pots and utensils, super comfortable pillows and doonas, deck chairs for lazing on, towels, fully functional camp kitchen, 'proper' coffee with stove top percolator, USB ports, power-points for laptop charging, and creatively decked out with artwork in every corner, draw and cupboard! And not to forget the lighting! - stars on the ceiling, dimmable lights ... yep, Vallery has it all! AND is super easy to drive, handles the roads well - not too big for tackling windy NZ roads. The booking process was quick and easy and Simon was great to deal with. If we were unsure about how anything worked, he was there to help. I'm already planning my next trip and will definitely book through Quirky Campers again - can't recommend them highly enough!<!-- R-CONTENT --><\/div> <span class=\"ti-read-more\" data-container=\".ti-review-text\" data-collapse-text=\"Hide\" data-open-text=\"Read more\"><\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-platform-icon ti-with-tooltip\"> <span class=\"ti-tooltip\">Posted on Google<\/span> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/icon.svg\" alt=\"Google\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-review-header\"> <div class=\"ti-profile-img\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocLoDt-US8o1IDc3Fu3zZGBtRSYZAqSlCur3YRkVwa0fdFKX=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-br100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocLoDt-US8o1IDc3Fu3zZGBtRSYZAqSlCur3YRkVwa0fdFKX=w80-h80-c-rp-mo-br100 2x\" alt=\"Willow Conway profile picture\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-details\"> <div class=\"ti-name\"> Willow Conway <\/div> <div class=\"ti-date\"><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>  <div data-empty=\"0\" data-time=\"1775433600\" class=\"ti-review-item source-Google ti-image-layout-thumbnail\" data-id=\"cfcd208495d565ef66e7dff9f98764da\" data-language=\"\"> <div class=\"ti-inner\"> <div class=\"ti-review-content\"> <span class=\"ti-stars\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 1\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 2\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 3\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 4\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 5\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><span class=\"ti-verified-review ti-verified-platform\"><span class=\"ti-verified-tooltip\">Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <div class=\"ti-review-text-container ti-review-text\"><!-- R-CONTENT -->We spent 6 nights in Juniper and had a fantastic time exploring the north island.

She was only a text or phone call away if we ever needed assistance or further information, and she is just an incredible host! Because quirky campers aren\u2019t a mainstream brand like Maui or Jucy, you get a better van. Better equipment, it\u2019s more thought through, more loved, and truly unique. Quirky campers have also been amazing to contact throughout the rental process, providing all the answers no matter how many questions we asked!

We also need to check in with our owners to make sure they can accommodate collecting the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For our vans in Nelson, indicative one-way fees are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Queenstown around $850<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Christchurch around $650<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Auckland around $1,450<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wellington around $750.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For longer trips, some travellers prefer a South Island loop from Nelson, then a flight north to pick up a second van for a North Island loop. It&#8217;s often no more expensive than the one-way fee, and you get two different campervans out of the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please <a href=\"mailto:bookingsNZ@quirkycampers.com?subject=Enquiring%20about%20one-way%20options%20from%20Auckland\">talk to us<\/a> first if you are interested in a one-way option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freedom camping around Nelson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Quirky&#8217;s campers are certified for freedom camping, NZ&#8217;s freedom camping rules can be complex! They vary by region, change frequently, and rangers do enforce them. Fines run to several hundred dollars, so please be kind to your pocket and read up before you park up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around Nelson there is an extra wrinkle with two councils. Nelson City Council covers the city and Stoke. Cross into Richmond and you are in Tasman District, which also covers M\u0101pua, Motueka, Abel Tasman and Golden Bay. Both have their own Responsible Camping Bylaw 2025, and the rules change at the boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both require a certified self-contained vehicle, and both work on designated spaces rather than &#8220;park anywhere sensible&#8221;. In Nelson city, freedom camping is limited to a handful of signposted carparks including Buxton, Wakatu and Montgomery, with Wakapuaka Reserve out towards the north. Tasman District has around 147 designated spaces across the district, so popular spots near Motueka and Golden Bay fill early in summer. Tents on public land are not permitted in Tasman at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For details, see <a href=\"https:\/\/shape.nelson.govt.nz\/responsible-camping-bylaw\">Nelson City Council<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasman.govt.nz\/my-region\/recreation\/responsible-camping\">Tasman District Council&#8217;s responsible camping map<\/a>.

The listing shows the approximate location before booking, and the exact address is confirmed before your trip.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:14px;color:#073f34;background-color:#ffffff;margin-bottom:12px;padding-top:22px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:22px;padding-left:24px\"><summary><strong>Can I collect a campervan directly from Nelson Airport or bus station?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possibly, but it would be subject to owner approval and an additional fee. Quirky Campers has no airport depot as each campervan is privately owned. Nelson Airport is about 7km from the city centre; an Uber, taxi or public transport connection is normally the simplest option. The bus station is located in the city.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:14px;color:#073f34;background-color:#ffffff;margin-bottom:12px;padding-top:22px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:22px;padding-left:24px\"><summary><strong>What is included with Nelson campervan hire?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every booking includes comprehensive insurance, 24\/7 AA roadside assistance and unlimited kilometres. Each camper also comes with all the cookware you need, plus bedding and towels at no additional cost. See each campervan listing page for more information because each camper is different!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:14px;color:#073f34;background-color:#ffffff;margin-bottom:12px;padding-top:22px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:22px;padding-left:24px\"><summary><strong>Can I stay off grid in a campervan from Nelson?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Quirky Campers NZ vans are set up for off-grid travel, and many of our Nelson vans include solar panels, leisure batteries, and inverters that keep your lights, fridge, water pump, phones, and laptops running without needing a powered campsite. The exact off-grid duration depends on the specific van\u2019s setup (battery capacity, solar size, fridge load, and the time of year), and is detailed on each individual van profile.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:14px;color:#073f34;background-color:#ffffff;margin-bottom:12px;padding-top:22px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:22px;padding-left:24px\"><summary><strong>What happens if my Nelson flight is delayed and I&#8217;m late for my pick-up?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand travel doesn\u2019t always go to plan. If your flight to Nelson is delayed, please contact your van owner directly as soon as possible (their phone number will be on your booking confirmation). Quirky NZ owners are generally flexible and will do their best to accommodate a later collection, including evening pick-ups where reasonable. If a same-day handover isn\u2019t possible, we\u2019ll work with you and the owner to arrange collection the following morning. <a href=\"mailto:bookingsnz@quirkycampers.com\" type=\"mailto\" id=\"mailto:bookingsnz@quirkycampers.com\">Get in touch<\/a> if&nbsp;you\u2019d&nbsp;like to discuss specific arrangements.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-0d24bc35 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;padding-top:80px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:80px;padding-left:24px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><picture class=\"wp-picture-884050\" style=\"display: contents;\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-knowledge-hub-icon-cup-jpg.avif 175w, https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-knowledge-hub-icon-cup-84x180-jpg.avif 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1536px) 40vw, (min-width: 1280px) 60vw, (min-width: 960px) 70vw, 80vw\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f9eaea\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-wp-picture-wrapped loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"175\" height=\"373\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1536px) 40vw, (min-width: 1280px) 60vw, (min-width: 960px) 70vw, 80vw\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-knowledge-hub-icon-cup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-884050 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f9eaea; width:75px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-knowledge-hub-icon-cup.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-knowledge-hub-icon-cup-84x180.jpg 84w\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Plan with confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:36px\">Useful reading before you collect your campervan in Nelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"post-list-block fullwidth overflow-hidden bg-white section-p-b section-p-t\" aria-label=\"Posts list content\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-flow-row grid-cols-12 lg:gap-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-span-12 lg:col-span-4 post-col mb-4 lg:mb-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div \n\tclass=\"w-full h-full\"\n\tx-data=\"{ shown: false }\" \n\tx-intersect.half=\"shown = true\" \n>\n\t<div \n\t\tclass=\"w-full h-full flex flex-col\"\n\t\tx-show=\"shown\" \n\t\tx-transition:enter=\"transition ease-out duration-300\"\n\t\tx-transition:enter-start=\"opacity-0 scale-50\"\n\t\tx-transition:enter-end=\"opacity-100 scale-100\"\n\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/driving-campervan-new-zealand\/\" aria-label=\"Driving a campervan in New Zealand: what it&#8217;s really like - Featured image\" itemprop=\"url\" class=\"overflow-hidden rounded-2xl relative block\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-nz-driving-campervan-feature-323x480.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-nz-driving-campervan-feature-323x480.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-nz-driving-campervan-feature-526x782.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-nz-driving-campervan-feature-768x1142.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-nz-driving-campervan-feature-861x1280.jpg 861w, https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-nz-driving-campervan-feature-1033x1536.jpg 1033w, https:\/\/www.quirkycampers.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/quirky-nz-driving-campervan-feature-1378x2048.jpg 1378w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 960px) 20vw, (min-width: 782px) 30vw, 80vw\" alt=\"A campervan on an open road winding through New Zealand mountains\" class=\"aspect-16\/10 w-full object-cover\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-body flex flex-col justify-between grow\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"my-3!
