5 Things No One Will Tell You about Motorhome Rental Nelson

4 min read

There's no doubt that to get the most out of your New Zealand travel and tour you must hire a motorhome or campervan. This is the best way to save on your budget and still enjoy the open, travel-friendly roads in New Zealand. But while camper vanning and motorhome hire Nelson have become the most notorious travel methods in the Southern Island, there are five important things you should be aware of before taking that step.


1. Season Sets The Price


Many campervan hire companies thirst for high travel seasons in New Zealand. Many travelers love the convenience that come with summer months and therefore bookings hike up like crazy during these months. While you the calm and vibrancy of summer is alluring, the cost of Nelson campervan hire is not. If you want to travel on a budget, you can cut your costs by half if you travel on shoulder months like October when the weather is getting warmer instead of travelling in summer months between December and February.


2. Beware of Age Restriction


Unfortunately for the "young, wild and free" travelers, you will be surcharged by many camper van rental companies if you're below 25 years of age. Some companies also give an age restriction of 21 years for drivers of a hired motorhome. Make enquiries about age restrictions before booking your motorhome rental to avoid any inconveniences.


3. Freedom Amping Is Not Free Everywhere


There's a common misconception that there are no rules in regard to freedom camping in New Zealand. This is misleading because even in public spaces where self-contained campervans have no freedom camping restrictions there's still a three nights parking rule. If you hire a motorhome that is not self-contained you are required to use free campgrounds, holiday parks or paid backgrounds. When deciding the type of campervan to hire, choose a self-contained one if you're not ready to pay for parking so that you can use public spaces, else be prepared to pay some fee for non-self-contained motorhomes parking.


4. Choices Can Overwhelm You


There is so much demand for camper van rentals in New Zealand thanks to its road-trip friendly atmosphere. You are likely to chance upon many vehicle renting companies and an equally many camper van rental options. The camper van rental option that you choose largely determines your travel comfort and enjoyment. Do your research early in advance putting all factors ito consideration as opposed to simply looking for the cheapest offers.


5. Be A Minimalist When Packing For Your Trip


There are two types of road travelers, excited ones who will want to pack everything for the trip and excited ones who will forget to pack until last minute. Camper vanning is in favor of excited travelers who are too lazy to pack the entire house. Many motorhome rentals are equipped with all the essentials; beddings, towels, cutlery tea towels, utensils, name them. You will want to check what is included in the campervan of your choice before you begin packing. In most cases you won't need to worry about packing.


Conclusion.
