Have you ever considered taking a road trip around New Zealand? A campervan is one of the best ways to explore NZ.
There are a variety of reasons to rent/buy a campervan in New Zealand and the epic scenery and stunning beauty of this country should be just one reason. You can relax under starry skies and park by a lake while you watch the sun set behind the mountains.
Lets face it, group tours are boring and you feel like a sheep being herded along by a Shepard. When you have a vehicle it gives you the option to go anywhere you want whenever you want! There is so much to see and do between the two islands and with relatively short driving distances you will never need to drive to far to be at your destination.
Is It Expensive?
This is a tricky one because camper-vanning is often seen as a very expensive option for travel. If you weigh up the options and consider the money saved on accommodation and the ability to cook for yourself, you have a cheaper than backpacking scenario. The price of a bed in a 12 bed dorm in New Zealand is upwards of $28 per night. It might even work out cheaper to get a campervan and split costs with your friends. Doing this you don't need have accommodation costs, and the kitchen sink is right behind you.
The Landscape
Campervans create a convenience to be able to stop anywhere and relax, have a cup of tea or coffee while by the beach (at no extra cost), and keep food cool for your trip. Everything you own is with you at all times. Your laptop, camera, kindle, bed.. All in one place, on the road, exploring a fantastic country in comfort.
Travel With Friends
You will have a much more fun experience if you travel with friends of a partner than if you go at it alone. There is so much fun to be had driving around New Zealand with some good buddies on a road trip. Traveling with a partner can be an amazing life experience and be great for your relationship, creating memories that will last forever.. There is something very special about New Zealand.
Should I Rent or Buy A Campervan?
If you rented your campervan, fair enough the money has been spent but if you opted to buy a camper, you can sell your campervan for round the same price as you bought it. They hold their value in New Zealand very well and you can expect to sell it for as much as you bought it for no problem. This will give you money for a few months in Asia after if you want to keep traveling! Try to sell it before the summer ends so you can get maximum cash back while there is still a high demand for campervans, as in autumn and winter the chilly nights can put people off buying them.
