Wilderness Extras & Accessories
Most accessories that other companies charge you extra for come standard with your Wilderness rental. Here’s a few other items you may wish to add. Most extras and accessories listed here can be ordered when you book or when you complete the Pre Check in.
If you want to get the most out of your wilderness experience, you'll need a portable barbecue. There's nothing better than cooking under the stars on a warm evening with your friends or family gathered around. The barbecue is supplied with its own gas (propane) bottle.
Not available with all campervan models.
All our campervans and motorhomes come with a comprehensive touring atlas that includes detailed maps with campsites and points of interest marked, travel time and distance calculator, National Park visitor guide, as well as Department of Conservation campsite and motorhome dump stations listings. It is a valuable navigational and activity planning resource.
You can also hire a portable GPS unit loaded with New Zealand maps. The GPS will help you locate a specific spot you wish to navigate to as well as identify other points of interests, places to eat, refuel, visitor information and much more. It’s particularly valuable for finding your way through the city, locating specific street addresses, and choosing exit and entry ramps to the highway. It even has a speed camera detector if you’re prone to exceeding the limit.
The easiest and most economical way to get connected while you’re on tour is to purchase a prepaid mobile SIM card. This Multi-SIM card is compatible with standard, iPhone, and Android devices.
You can order and pay for the SIM card on our Pre-Check In web page then collect the card when you pick up your campervan. Then just slot the SIM into your phone and it's ready to use.
Your phone must be "unlocked" to use a prepaid mobile SIM. Please check with your mobile service provider at home first. The SIM card operates on the 3G network.
Your pre-loaded mobile SIM card comes with the following Prepay Smart 25 start-up pack:
An additional NZ$10 of FREE credit is available when you register online.
At the end of your first month or after you've used your start-up value pack, you can purchase another Prepay Smart 25 value pack or one of the many other Prepay Smart value packs to top up your SIM card from Vodafone online or via Facebook.
Vodafone prepay terms and conditions apply.
We recommend that you use your start-up credit to purchase additional data (Add On Bundle) as the base rates are quite high so you will eat up your data quickly.
If you are travelling with a laptop computer or tablet as well as an iPhone or smartphone, you can connect to the internet using the wireless hotspot function on your iPhone or smartphone once you have inserted your pre-loaded SIM card. Just search for available networks on your iPhone or smartphone and then connect to your laptop or tablet. Alternatively, you can purchase a USB modem (see below).
If you don't want to bring your own mobile, you can purchase a prepay mobile handset and SIM card value pack. The prepay mobile is ideal for light data, talk, and text users or for emergencies.
The prepay mobile includes the Prepay Smart 45 value pack giving FREE data, talk, and text messaging for the first month.
Once this value pack is used or expires, you can purchase additional Prepay Smart value packs at great rates.

If you're bringing a laptop computer with you, the best way to connect to broadband is with a USB modem or dongle. This operates on the Vodafone mobile network so you'll be able to access the internet anywhere you get mobile phone coverage.
The modem includes 2GB FREE data for the first month. Once this 2GB of data is used or expires, you can purchase more data at great rates.
Once the first 2GB of free data is used or expired, you can purchase up to 2GB of data at a time. Bundles last for one month from date of purchase.

There’s no getting away from the fact that campervan rentals have an impact on the environment. On average each hire emits about 30kg of carbon into the atmosphere. You can offset the carbon emissions you generate during your hire by contributing to the Carbon 4 Good programme. The Greenfleet Carbon 4 Good Programme funds community group plantings of native trees that will remove carbon from the atmosphere.
For just NZ$1/day, you can help purchase sufficient native trees to offset the carbon your road trip generated. Volunteers will then plant the trees at one of many reforestation programmes around New Zealand.
Our baby seats are designed for children from approximately six months to four years old and our booster seats for children from four to seven years old. Just indicate you wish to add these when you book or use our Pre Check In service.
Our portable high chairs are compact enough to stow easily and can be used on the floor of the camper or strapped to a chair if you're eating out at a cafe or restaurant.
Even if you had sufficient baggage allowance to bring a travel cot from home, chances are it won’t fit in our campervans. Most campervans and motorhomes have very restricted floor space so the standard travel cot is too big. The Samsonite bubble cot is specifically designed for travel. It fits easily in all of our campervans and motorhomes. Suitable for use from birth until approximately 18 months old. Here's a few other important details:
- Child's maximum weight - 11.5 kgs
- Child's maximum length - 82 cms
- Cot size at base - 60 cms x 100 cms
