If you are planning a holiday this year, consider renting a campervan in New Zealand and spending some time there.
The Freedom Of The Road
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.
Will It Be Expensive?
A tough question to give an accurate answer to.. There are some different factors that will affect your costs such as the style of camper, where you park at night, the amount of people on the trip, if you eat out or cook for yourselves.. There are lots of Department of Conservation park up spots designed for those traveling around New Zealand in a campervan and some have showers, toilets and power. Grap a map or check online at the DOC website for information. To stay in a holiday park can be as much as $30 per person. That is crazy, and if you are already paying for a camper, why spend this much money?
Relaxing
It is hard to explain to those who have not been to New Zealand the true magnitude of the beauty. Around every corner another spectacular site and across each ridge is another epic mountain pass. Images of campervans parked up by the lake with kayaks paddling in the distance has been a dream of mine for years. Even the driving is fun as the roads wind and turn through forests and across mountains.
Travel With Friends
Living in such close quarters can be a blessing or a curse. When you and a friend chose to travel together in a campervan, there can be some great times ahead. But on the contrary, traveling with a partner can be amazing. There is something very intimate about living together while traveling around New Zealand.
Money
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.
