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.

He could stand up fully with no issues- hooray!), and a very comfortable bed. Sunny\u2019s owner gave us a full run through so that we started the trip fully confident. 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! Super friendly and super helpful staff, especially James who gave quick and informative responses to all emails!

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 Hamilton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Quirky&#8217;s campers are certified for freedom camping, be warned: <strong>NZ&#8217;s freedom camping rules can be complex<\/strong>! They vary by region, change frequently, and rangers do enforce them. <strong>Fines run to several hundred dollars<\/strong>, so please be kind to your pocket and read up before you park up ;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Hamilton, certified self-contained vehicles can park overnight on most public roads without a time limit, as long as you don&#8217;t stay on the same road for more than three days running and don&#8217;t block driveways. Porritt Stadium also offers dedicated freedom camping for up to six self-contained vehicles at a time, for up to three nights a month between 5pm and 9am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freedom camping in vehicles isn&#8217;t allowed in Civic Square or Garden Place in the central city, and there&#8217;s a dump station at the end of Tui Avenue, next to Minogue Park.
