DriveNow's take: vehicle |  Jack's takeA mid-premium compact campervan with new furnishings, the 2 Berth Deluxe is a great first hire — easy to drive, automatic, and surprisingly fuel efficient at around 10L/100km. About Discover NZ 2 Berth Deluxe S/TJack's takeThe 2 Berth Deluxe is a compact, automatic campervan with newer furnishings and a mid-premium fit-out. It sleeps two and comes with a toilet and shower — everything you need without the size of a larger motorhome. If it's your first time hiring a campervan in New Zealand, this is a strong option. Day-to-day, it's comfortable. The key is staying organised. Pack soft luggage so you can unpack into the storage compartments and keep things off the floor. Do that, and it stays liveable well past the first week. Let it get cluttered and it'll feel small quickly. The vehicle is certified self-contained, so you can plan free camp nights into your itinerary. Just don't stack them back-to-back. The battery generally needs recharging at a powered site every second night, so one night off-grid, one night plugged in is the rhythm that works. When you pick up, ask the depot staff about your route. They know where the free camp spots are and can flag any unsealed roads to avoid. The trade-off is cost and availability. The newer fit-out and premium furnishings push the daily rate higher than a basic campervan. It also books out well in advance. If you want this vehicle, book early. | Jack's take A budget sleepervan with a green self-contained certificate — so unlike most vans in this class, you can free camp. The fleet was custom built in 2025, so the finish is newer than you'd expect at this price point. About Discover NZ 2 Berth SleepavanzJack's takeThis is a compact, budget-friendly sleepervan that does something most in its class don't — it holds a green self-contained certificate. That means you can free camp, which opens up a lot of New Zealand that a non-certified van can't reach. The fleet was custom built in 2025. You'll notice it. The quality of the finish is a step above what you'd typically find in this price bracket. That said, this is a sleepervan, and space is limited. There's no standing room inside. After a few days, that starts to matter — especially if the weather turns. If you're making the most of your outdoor spaces and the sun is out, it's very manageable. In summer, this vehicle is a great option. In shoulder season, go in with your eyes open. Compared to other sleepervans, this one does have some living space inside — it's not just a bed in a box. But it's still tight on a longer hire. First-timers who haven't camped before are better off in one of the larger vehicles where they can stand up and move around. If you've camped before and you're comfortable being outdoors, you'll love what this van gives you. Before you drive off, ask the depot staff to walk you through the bed setup and the toilet cassette. Knowing how both work before your first night off-grid makes a real difference. | Jack's take A mid-range to premium motorhome with a permanent island bed and plenty of space for two adults and two kids. Not the best fit if you're travelling with more than two adults — the fixed rear bed eats into the living area. About Discover NZ 4 Berth DeluxeJack's takeThis is a mid-range to premium motorhome built for families. It sleeps four and comes with premium features and furnishings throughout. The rear bed is a permanent island bed — no nightly setup, which is genuinely useful after a long day on the road. The trade-off is living space. If you're travelling as two adults with two children, the layout works well. If you've got more than two adults, it will feel cramped, especially by day five. Because this van is relatively new and in demand, it books out well in advance and rates reflect that. Book early if you want the best price. First-timers will be fine here, as long as you're a confident driver. It has everything you need for a proper New Zealand road trip. Before you drive off, walk around the van and get familiar with the blind spots — worth doing on any vehicle this size. The van is certified self-contained, so you can stay off-grid at non-powered sites. That said, connect to a powered site every second night to keep the house battery charged. | Jack's take A mid-premium motorhome with everything you need for a New Zealand road trip year-round — including an oven, which most campervans at this level don't have. Fully insulated for both summer and winter travel. About Discover NZ 4-6 BerthJack's takeThis is a mid-premium motorhome with all the facilities you need for a proper New Zealand road trip, summer or winter. The cabin is fully insulated, so you're not limited to the warmer months. The oven is worth calling out specifically. Most campervans at this price point don't have one. Being able to cook real meals cuts down costs noticeably over a longer trip. It's comfortable and spacious enough that you won't feel cramped after day five. Use soft luggage — you can unpack everything into the storage compartments at the start of the trip and not live out of bags the whole time. The vehicle is certified self-contained, which means you can plan some nights freedom camping. That said, you'll still need to connect to a powered campsite roughly every second night, so factor that into your itinerary. The trade-off is cost and availability. The premium features come with a higher daily rate, and these vans can be hard to find — especially in peak season. If you see it available at a good rate, book it. First-timers can absolutely hire this vehicle, but make sure you're a confident driver. It's significantly bigger than a standard car and handles differently. Before you leave the depot, ask the staff to walk you through the blind spots, check that your route is suitable for the vehicle's size, and get a demonstration of the bed set-up if it's your first time. | Jack's take A premium 6-berth motorhome that feels like a home on wheels with new furnishings and appliances. Comes with a full oven for preparing your own meals on the road. About Discover NZ 6 Berth DeluxeJack's takeThis premium 6-berth motorhome feels like a home on wheels with new furnishings and modern appliances throughout. The standout feature is the full oven — great for keeping costs down by preparing proper meals on the road instead of eating out every night. There's plenty of storage space to pack away luggage at the start of your trip. With six people, keeping the vehicle tidy will help the space feel less cramped after a few days on the road. The sleeping arrangements work well for families or groups who want comfort and space. This vehicle is self-contained, so you can stay at free camping sites. But you'll need to book powered campsites every second night to recharge the house battery — check with depot staff about your route to make sure it's suitable for a vehicle this size. The trade-off is price. As a premium option with new everything, it costs more than other 6-berth models. But if you want modern facilities and new furnishings, this delivers. First-timers can handle this vehicle if they're confident drivers. It's much larger than a car or campervan, so take your time on New Zealand's windy roads. Before you leave the depot, check your blind spots and confirm your route is suitable for a vehicle this size. |

Sleeping capacity
How many people the vehicle sleeps. Where the supplier separates them, adult and child places are shown; a child berth isn't big enough for an adult. Seatbelts are a separate number, so check both for a group.
Bed layout
Where each bed is and what kind it is. Some beds stay made up, while others are made from the seating each night; Main bed setup shows which.
Bed sizes
Each bed's length × width in metres. Compare the length with the tallest person travelling, and the width with who is sharing.
The bed types in this comparison:
Overcab bed
A raised sleeping area above the driver's cab. Check the vehicle details for access and any weight limits.
Island bed
A bed with access along both sides, rather than one side against the wall.
Double bed
One shared bed for two people. Compare the dimensions, as double beds differ in size between vehicles.
More in the handbook: Tips for a good night's sleep
A toilet and shower on board mean you can stay at basic or free campsites without amenities, and skip the night-time walk to a shared block. With a toilet only, you have the essentials; with neither, plan to stay where there are facilities.
An onboard toilet needs emptying at a dump point every few days.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
The fridge's capacity in litres; a range means it depends on the vehicle you're given. A bigger fridge means fewer shopping stops, which matters most for families and on remote stretches.
How the fridge is powered when you're parked affects how long it keeps food cold away from a powered site.
More in the handbook: Using the fridge
Heating or air-conditioning for the living area with the engine off. Many units only run at a powered site, while some heaters run from gas or the house battery, so check what each one needs.
Cab air-conditioning only works while driving. Portable heaters or fans may be included or available to hire.
More in the handbook: Heating and cooling
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Hot water makes showers and washing up easier, especially in cooler months. Without it, you'll heat water on the cooker for dishes.
Where shown, the energy source tells you what the hot water runs on.
Longer vehicles have more room inside but are harder to park in town and need a bigger campsite. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Ferry fares for campervans are usually charged by length.
More in the handbook: Ferry costs
Clean water for drinking, cooking and washing. A bigger tank means longer between refills, which matters at free campsites without taps. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
How long it lasts depends on how you use it, especially for showers.
More in the handbook: Fresh water
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How much standing room there is inside. Taller travellers will be more comfortable with more headroom; in low-roof campers most people can't stand upright.
What you can cook on inside the vehicle. The number of burners affects how much you can cook at once, which matters for a group.
Gas cooktops run from an LPG bottle that you refill or swap on the road.
More in the handbook: Using the gas bottle
A table and chairs make it easy to eat and relax outside, which helps most in smaller campers. Some suppliers include them; others hire them out per trip, so check before comparing prices.
More in the handbook: Equipment you can hire
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Used water from the sink and shower collects in the grey-water tank. A bigger tank means fewer stops at a dump point, and some campsites don't let you drain it on the ground.
It's separate from the toilet, which has its own cassette or tank.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Everyone travelling needs their own seatbelt, so this is the most people the vehicle can carry, even if it sleeps more. Some seats are in the living area rather than the cab.
More in the handbook: Will I need multiple vehicles?
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How you can play music, connect a phone and watch a screen. A screen doesn't guarantee TV reception or DVD playback, and listed USB ports may not charge every device quickly.
Where it says some models, it isn't guaranteed in every vehicle of that model.
More in the handbook: Using the TV or screen
How wide the vehicle is affects narrow country roads, standard car parks and tight campsites. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Multi-storey car parks, drive-throughs and some bridges have height limits, so know your vehicle's height before you set off. A raised-roof height, where shown, applies when the roof is lifted while parked.
More in the handbook: Vehicle height awareness
A solar panel tops up the house battery during the day, which helps run the lights and fridge away from a powered site. How much it adds depends on the panel, the weather and how much power you use.
More in the handbook: Battery and solar
How the vehicle is powered when parked. At a powered site everything runs; off-grid, the house battery and any solar run the lights, fridge and charging.
Not every appliance works from every source: air-conditioning and microwaves usually need mains power.
More in the handbook: What works off-grid
The supplier's age range for this model. You're given one vehicle from within it, so Up to 2 years means it has been on the supplier's fleet for no more than about two years, 4+ years means at least four, and 4–7 years means between four and seven.
Newer vehicles generally show less wear and are more likely to have recent equipment. Older vehicles have usually covered more kilometres, which raises the chance of a breakdown. Older fleets are often the budget option, and a well-maintained older camper can still suit a trip.
Suppliers count age differently. Some count time on their fleet, others go by model year, so treat a one-year difference as approximate.
More in the handbook: How likely are breakdowns?
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A fixed bed stays made up, so you can rest at any time without rearranging. A bed made from the dinette or lounge gives you more living space by day, but takes a few minutes to set up each night and pack away each morning.
Some dinette beds can be left made up if you don't need the table.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
In many smaller campers the table becomes the bed, so once the bed is made there's nowhere inside to sit and eat. A separate table matters on rainy days, or when someone wants to sleep while others are still up.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
