We do this because we want every customer to feel safe on the road from the moment they pick up their van.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also choose to upgrade your protection plan, which reduces what you&#8217;d pay if something happened during your trip. We&#8217;ll cover the three plans in detail below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re driving in New Zealand for the first time, possibly on the opposite side of the road to what you&#8217;re used to, in a larger vehicle than usual, the question of insurance often comes up early. That&#8217;s completely understandable. We&#8217;ve put this guide together so the answers are easy to find, with no small print buried anywhere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who insures Quirky Campers NZ?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vero Insurance NZ <\/strong>insures our entire fleet. They&#8217;re one of New Zealand&#8217;s largest insurance companies.\u00a0You can read more about Vero on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vero.co.nz\/about-vero.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vero&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy is a fully comprehensive commercial motor fleet policy that covers every van in the Quirky fleet whenever it&#8217;s on the road with a customer. Here&#8217;s a summary of what it includes:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Comprehensive cover<\/strong> throughout New Zealand, including interisland ferry transit<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Up to NZD $10 million<\/strong> in legal liability cover<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Up to NZD $100,000<\/strong> sum insured per vehicle<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>24\/7 AA Roadside Assistance<\/strong> for mechanical breakdowns and on-road support<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Cleaning up costs<\/strong> covered if the van needs professional cleaning after an incident<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Emergency accommodation and travel cover<\/strong> if your trip is disrupted by an incident<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Unlimited kilometres<\/strong>, so you can drive as far as you want within New Zealand<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan-hire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zoe-jackson-YutUAAgJpCY-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Person relaxing inside a campervan\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quirky&#8217;s three protection plans<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you book a Quirky campervan, you choose between three protection plans. All three include the same fully comprehensive insurance and 24\/7 AA roadside assistance, but they differ in the amount you&#8217;d pay if there&#8217;s an incident, the size of the security deposit we hold, and whether tyres and windscreens are covered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin: 0 0 16px;\">\r\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 0.95em;\">\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr style=\"background-color: #6b072b; color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 12px;\">Plan<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 12px;\">Daily charge (NZD)<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 12px;\">Insurance excess (NZD)<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 12px;\">Security deposit (NZD)<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 12px;\">Tyre &amp; windscreen cover<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Ready Traveller<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$0 (included)<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$3,500<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$2,000<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">No, liable up to excess<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5; background-color: #fdf6ef;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Relaxed Traveller<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$25 per day (capped at $975)<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$500<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$500<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">No, liable up to excess<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Carefree Traveller<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$29 per day (capped at $975)<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$0<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">$0<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">Yes, cover is included<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tyres and windscreens: <\/strong>Carefree Traveller covers tyres and windscreens in full.

Relaxed and Carefree are capped at $975 NZD total, no matter how long your trip.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which protection plan is right for me?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a personal choice. A few thoughts that might help you decide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Ready Traveller<\/strong> often suits travellers who already have rental vehicle excess cover through their personal travel insurance. Many travel insurance policies include this (rentalcover.com is a popular standalone option), and you can claim the excess back from your insurer if there&#8217;s an incident. Worth checking your existing policy before you book.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Relaxed Traveller<\/strong> significantly reduces your maximum out-of-pocket cost for $25 per day, with a much smaller security deposit.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Carefree Traveller<\/strong> gives you no excess, no security deposit, and includes tyre and windscreen cover. The right choice if you&#8217;d prefer to know your only campervan cost is the booking fee. This is our most popular option.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most incidents on the road are small. A stone causing a windscreen crack, or accidentally bumping the van while parking. Your plan determines what those events would cost you. There&#8217;s no right answer, just the right fit for you and your trip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insurance terms explained<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few terms worth knowing as you read this guide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin: 0 0 16px;\">\r\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 0.95em;\">\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr style=\"background-color: #6b072b; color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 12px; width: 30%;\">Term<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 12px; width: 70%;\">What it means<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Excess<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">The maximum amount you&#8217;d pay towards repairs after a single incident<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5; background-color: #fdf6ef;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Security deposit<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">A temporary hold on your credit card during the booking, released on safe return<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Comprehensive insurance<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">Cover for damage to your van, other vehicles, and other people&#8217;s property<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5; background-color: #fdf6ef;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Liability cover<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">Cover for legal claims if you injure someone or damage their property<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Protection plan<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">The cover tier you choose at checkout with Quirky Campers: <strong>Ready<\/strong>, <strong>Relaxed<\/strong> or <strong>Carefree<\/strong> Traveller<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5; background-color: #fdf6ef;\">\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Fair wear and tear<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">Normal, light marks that come from ordinary use, such as small surface scuffs<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\"><strong>Roadside assistance<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 12px; color: #001551;\">Help if you break down or have a mechanical issue on the road<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d like a fuller explanation of how insurance works in general, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerprotection.govt.nz\/help-product-service\/managing-money\/insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Consumer Protection NZ<\/a> has a useful plain-English guide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan-hire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rota-alternativa-pHGM9wL2cW4-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Feet dangling out of a campervan door\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are tyres and windscreens covered?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the parts of campervan insurance that catches most people out, so worth being clear about.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Only the <strong>Carefree Traveller<\/strong> plan covers tyres and windscreens. On Ready Traveller and Relaxed Traveller, you cover the cost of repair or replacement up to your insurance excess.<\/li>\r\n<li>An autoglass company can fill <strong>windscreen chips<\/strong> (small marks, usually smaller than 1.5 to 2cm) while you&#8217;re on your trip. Quirky covers the cost of chip repairs (approx. $120 NZD) on every plan. We do this because acting quickly on a chip prevents it becoming a crack that needs a full windscreen replacement. The two largest autoglass networks in New Zealand are Smith &amp; Smith and Novus.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Windscreen cracks<\/strong> usually need a full windscreen replacement. Cracks are often through no fault of the driver, but you&#8217;re still responsible for the cost up to your insurance excess on Ready Traveller and Relaxed Traveller. On Carefree Traveller, this is fully covered.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Tyres<\/strong> are handled the same way. If you get a puncture, AA Roadside Assistance can help you swap to the spare tyre. You&#8217;d cover the cost of repair or replacement up to your insurance excess, unless you&#8217;re on Carefree Traveller.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more on autoglass repairs and replacements, the AA has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.co.nz\/cars\/maintenance\/auto-glass\/repairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">good guides on both<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s not covered by Quirky&#8217;s insurance?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We want to be upfront about this. The protection plans cover the van itself and road-related liability. None of our plans cover the following items, which remain your responsibility:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Interior damage<\/strong> caused beyond fair wear and tear, such as spills on upholstery or bedding, broken mirrors or fittings, or water damage from leaving windows open in heavy rain. We charge repair or replacement costs separately.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Personal belongings<\/strong> carried inside the van. Your own travel insurance should cover these.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Driving on forbidden unsealed roads. <\/strong>Our cover excludes a small number of unsealed roads. These are listed in our booking conditions and <a style=\"font-size: inherit; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FAQs<\/a><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">, and our owners will explain them at handover.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Damage from driving under the influence<\/strong> of drugs or alcohol, or through any flooded waterway or salt water.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of these are intended to catch you out. They&#8217;re standard exclusions across the New Zealand campervan industry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do I do if I have an incident?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If something happens during your trip, here&#8217;s the process. We send every customer a copy of our Accident, Breakdown and Windscreen Information Sheet ahead of their trip, with all the contact numbers in one place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For an accident<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Stop, turn the engine off, and put your hazard lights on.<\/li>\r\n<li>Call 111 if anyone is injured or your vehicle is blocking the road.<\/li>\r\n<li>For minor incidents with no injury, report to Police on 105 within 24 hours.<\/li>\r\n<li>Exchange details with the other driver (name, address, phone, vehicle registration).<\/li>\r\n<li>Take photos of all damage and the scene.<\/li>\r\n<li>Once it&#8217;s safe, call the van owner and Quirky NZ on +64 (0)800 437 680.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For a breakdown<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Find a safe place to stop.<\/li>\r\n<li>Call the van owner.<\/li>\r\n<li>If you can&#8217;t reach the owner, call Quirky NZ on +64 (0)800 437 680, or AA Roadside Assistance directly on 0800 837 627 (24\/7, via Vero). The Quirky team will support you.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if the cost of repair is below my insurance excess?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good question. If repairs cost less than your excess, you only pay the actual repair cost. For example, if you&#8217;ve chosen Ready Traveller ($3,500 excess) and you dent the rear bumper at a cost of $1,950 to repair, you&#8217;d be charged $1,950, not the full excess. If repairs cost more than your excess, you&#8217;d be charged your full excess and Quirky&#8217;s insurance covers the remainder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I reduce the chance of an incident?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most incidents are avoidable. A few habits worth building in:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Drive slowly and cautiously, especially while you&#8217;re getting to know the van.<\/li>\r\n<li>If you&#8217;re travelling with someone, work together to park, with one of you guiding the other into tighter spaces.<\/li>\r\n<li>Ask the owner how everything works at handover, especially parking sensors and reversing cameras.<\/li>\r\n<li>Stay focused. Avoid distractions like phones while driving.<\/li>\r\n<li>If you&#8217;re not sure about something, ask. The Quirky team or the van owner is always at the end of the phone.<\/li>\r\n<li>Choose a protection plan that lets you enjoy the trip without worrying. If a $3,500 excess would weigh on your mind, the daily charge for Relaxed or Carefree Traveller plans might be money well spent.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campervan insurance FAQs<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is campervan insurance included in my Quirky Campers NZ booking?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, every Quirky Campers NZ booking includes fully comprehensive campervan insurance and 24\/7 AA roadside assistance as standard. You can upgrade your protection plan at checkout to reduce your excess and security deposit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who provides Quirky Campers NZ insurance?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quirky Campers NZ insurance is provided by Vero Insurance NZ, one of New Zealand&#8217;s largest insurers, through the broker Arthur J. Gallagher (NZ). Vero holds a Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s AA- financial strength rating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much is the excess on a Quirky Campers booking?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The excess on a Quirky Campers booking depends on which protection plan you choose: $3,500 NZD on Ready Traveller, $500 NZD on Relaxed Traveller, or $0 NZD on Carefree Traveller.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add a second driver to my Quirky Campers booking?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can add named drivers to your Quirky Campers booking at no additional cost. All drivers must be over 21, hold a full licence for at least one year, and be legally allowed to drive in New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are windscreens and tyres covered on Quirky Campers insurance?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Windscreens and tyres are covered on the Carefree Traveller protection plan only. On Ready Traveller and Relaxed Traveller, customers are liable for repair or replacement costs up to their insurance excess. Quirky covers the cost of a windscreen chip repair (up to $120 NZD) on all plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if I damage the campervan?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you damage your Quirky Campers campervan, the cost of repair is subject to your protection plan&#8217;s insurance excess. Should the repair cost less than your excess, you only pay the actual repair cost. If it costs more, you pay your excess and Quirky Campers NZ&#8217;s insurance covers the remainder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Quirky Campers cover personal belongings?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, personal belongings are not covered by Quirky Campers NZ insurance.
