About the Wilderness rental fleet
Before you start, there are several useful things to know about the Wilderness fleet:
-
All of our vehicles are less than four years old
-
All come with automatic transmission
-
All are certified self-contained for freedom camping
-
Most are suitable for tall people

All are suitable for year-round travel, with insulation and central heating for chilly winter nights, and air conditioned cabs, roof vents and latchable windows with insect screens for the heat of summer
-
All bathrooms convert to a drying room
-
All the beds have comfortable cold foam mattresses and are made up and ready to use with crisp linen. Some are fixed to the floor and others tuck away into the ceiling until ready to use.

-

Things to consider when choosing a campervan
Ask yourself some of the following questions to help select the right motorhome for you:
-
How many of you are travelling?
-
Are there any special requirements, such as disabled or elderly traveller?
-
Are you taking any oversize items? Do you need storage space for a pram, surfboards, snowboards, fishing or golf gear?
-
Are you happy with a combined toilet/shower area or is a separate toilet useful? (This can be handy if you’re travelling in a group.)
- What kind of beds would work for you? Beds that are fixed to the floor are sometimes easier to get into as some fold down beds require a short ladder. Beds that tuck away into the ceiling give you more floor space.
-
How comfortable are you with driving on the right-hand side of the road? Some New Zealand roads can be winding and the most scenic trips may take you off sealed roads and onto gravel. And even if we don’t have any road restrictions here at Wilderness, you might want to consider whether you’d feel better driving a smaller vehicle. Our motorhomes range from 5.9m to 7.4m in length.
-
Is budget a big consideration? Check out our specials when it comes to all inclusive offer, early booking or directional pricing.
Once you’ve found your ideal motorhome you can add a range of handy extras.
Remember, the sooner you book, the more likely you are to secure the motorhome that’s the best match for your needs. If you’re visiting from overseas, it pays to book your motorhome at the same time you book your flights.
