We hired the HiTop Campervan from Ross for 14 days across the South Island and it genuinely made our trip.
From the moment we reached out, Ross was patient, thorough and honest about everything — the van specs, the freedom camping rules, the self contained certification. No surprises, no hidden clauses on the insurance. What was promised is exactly what we got.
The van was our car, our hotel and our kitchen for 14 days. It handled everything from the Crown Range to the Milford Road without a single issue. The self contained certification meant we could freedom camp at the most unbelievable spots completely free — waking up to views that hotels charge thousands for.
A special mention for the zero excess insurance — absolute peace of mind on NZ roads. Do not skip this.
We have since made a reel about our NZ budget trip that has reached over 40,000+ views and we personally recommend Ross and Camperco to every single person who asks about campervanning New Zealand. That is not something we do lightly.
If you are considering a NZ campervan trip — start with Ross. You will not regret it.

The short version is 'Do yourself a favour and book your camper van or sleepercar with Ross Brittenden and Camperco New Zealand.
Ross's service was brilliant and the sleepercar we had was unimpeachable in its excellence.Camperco made our 5 week NZ holiday and we cannot recommend it enough'.
The longer version is that we asked Ross many, many questions before we booked with him. We were nervous because we had never used a sleepercar before and Ross was extremely patient as well as precise in answering each of our questions.
The sleepercar was as described - it had more than what we had expected in it - lovely bedding and a very full cutlery set etc
I am a car enthusiast (Google Pathmanathan + any of Murcielago, Countach, Diablo) and the idea of driving thousands of kilometres in any campervan filled me with dread.
In 32 days, we did a total of 6703 kilometres in HNE596 all over NZ and we fell totally in love with this car.
We found a lovely Ferrari in Wellington which we seriously considered buying and shipping back to the UK and we actually asked Ross how much it would cost to buy HNE 596 and send it back in the same sea-container - because his Estima was that good.
Ross's Estima was very high mileage, but within a few kilometres of driving it we could see and feel that its mechanics had been fastidious maintained.
The brakes and drivetrain felt like new, and the tyres were new.
We had only one tiny problem with the Estima in 32 days of hard driving - a fuse blew and the fridge/cooler box stopped working
That happened on our 2nd day with the car - a Sunday.
Despite it being a Sunday morning, Ross immediately picked up our phone call and immediately arranged for the car to be thoroughly inspected and fixed.
We had no other problems with the car at all and it ate up the 6703 miles with ease and aplomb - despite sometimes driving it through torrential rain and for hundreds of kilometres in one go
We loved and continue to love HNE596.

Had a long (117day) hire of the 2+1 berth sprinter campervan from Ross and the Team at camperco (as they had brought out affordable campers who i used previously) and offered great value for the length
of hire and van specs we wanted.
Brilliant communication from Ross, from start to finish. We had a few minor teething troubles on the van (bathroom light bulb went) , all sorted very quickly by the team. Mechanically the van was sound, it did the 10, 000 km without issue and effeciently. It took us everywhere we wanted to go, without complaining.
If/when I come back I will definitely come straight back to camperco.

We had a wonderful trip with our 2+1 Berth Motorhome.
Ross and his colleagues did an amazing job! 3 weeks and not a single problem, the motorhome was spacious and absolutely great!
Any time we had a question, Ross answered us within a blink of an eye, always helpful and super friendly. Both the pick-up in Auckland and the drop-off in Christchurch were super easy and smooth.
For anyone uncertain due to the number of rental companies out there - I can 100% recommend Camperco, you will get a van in absolutely perfect mechanical condition. Not a single thing to worry about! Will definitely book here again when we come back to NZ!
Big thanks to Ross!

We booked a 5 week hire from Christchurch to Auckland with Ross at CamperCo and have to say the experience with them from start to finish was brilliant.
Ross was fully transparent with all his information, telling us the van could be a few years old but were clean and well maintained. We were so happy when we picked up the van, it was spotlessly clean and everything from china mugs to bath towels were included, they had thought of everything to make our journey as comfortable as possible. The fully comp insurance was just that, no sneaky clauses... unlike with Indie Campers!
Ross said to contact him by WhatsApp or email if we had any problems at all and it was fantastic to have that reassurance to be able to talk to a person... again, unlike Indie Campers.
Our whole experience with CamperCo was wonderful and I would 100% recommend anyone to book with them for a stress free holiday!

This is the second time we have booked a motorhome with this company!
The first was when they were called Affordable and now as CamperCo.
On both occassions we had fantastic communication with the company and as we were booking from Australia we were a bit hesitant not having face to face meetings but Ross certainly made us feel secure.
As we were flying into Queentown we were meet by an agent and driven to the delivery/pickup point. A quick once over and instructions and we were on our way.
The motorhome never missed a beat. Was a pleasure too drive and very comfortable.
Once i sorted out the bed it was very cosy and warm and i suffer from a bad back and bad hip pain (and since returning to Australia have had a full hip replacement) i am writing this from my hospital bed. The bed was great, no pain at all!
It was five days before we realised the fridge wasnt turned on ! But as it was pretty cold we didnt think to check it. The first few days were cold and we used the deisel heater at night and it was brilliant! We were initially worried it would use a lot of deisel but unnecessarily! It used minimal amount of fuel!
I cooked nearly every night and we used the outdoor table and chairs that were supplied to eat in places with the most amazing views.
Having the toilet made it possible to free camp as we did a few times and the emptying of the toilet cassette and waste water was easy.
All in all a fabulous experience, great holiday, great communication and i highly recommend Ross and Camper co!
Happy to answer any questions you migjt have

We had a great experience with Ross and CamperCo when we hired a campervan for a trip around the North and South Islands.
Ross was really helpful, responding promptly to our enquiries and providing us with really useful information ahead of our trip. Overall good value for money, good support and dependable. Would recommend.

Ros is timely and giving us a lot of advice on handling the Motorhome and travelling south island.
We are saved by his advice on not to book anything first to be flexible on our trip, so we only booked those activity that sold out fast.
And in reality it’s true that we have to shift some of our itinerary because of weather condition.
The rental feels very personal, one of the best customer service experience I’ve ever had.
Motorhome quality is super good, Ros must have been taken care of it pretty well
This is what you get when you have someone experienced on travelling running a motorhome rental business, everything crucial for travelling is taken care of!
Thanks a lot mate!
Cheers

100% reliable company.
We hired a campervan for 2 monthes in 2025 (feb to April) and had just one problem solved fairly and quickly. Low fare but high quality vehicule and service. We definitely will rent again to Camperco and warmly recommend this little company to all travellers.

We rented the sleepervan for 6 weeks for a road trip from Christchurch to Auckland.
We had a really good time and thanks to the sleepervan we were able to stay at great overnight places. Despite the more than 350.000 kilometres already on it, the car still felt great and reliable. We didn't experience any problems along the way, slept great in it and therefore had the holiday of our lifetimes. If we would ever be able to visit New Zealand again, we would make use of CamperCo again without a doubt. It's the best way to experience everything!

We had an amazing 5 weeks in New Zealand thanks to our campervan from Camper Co.
Ross was very responsive, available, and super friendly whenever we had questions—both before and during our trip. The campervan matched the description and was well equipped. It’s a small rental company, and their prices are much more competitive than the big brands. Highly recommend, 100%!

This was the second time we rented from camperco.We came back to them beacause of our great experience the first time and we wern't disappointed.
We hired a Mercedes Sprinter Nomad for 7 weeks on South and North island.
Camperco do not badge up their vans with advertising logos so you don't feel like you are a driving billboard.
There is no hard sell of extra insurance like the big companies give you when you pick up the vehicle. Its all up front. And there is an upper limit to the premium, so for a seven week trip, this was way cheaper than others with full cover including excess. There is no restriction for gravel roads as most of the big companies have ( Skippers Canyon and 90 Mile Beach are the only restrictions, from memory)
The van performed well and was great to drive and had everything you need on board (great selection of sharp knives).
We had a minor problem with a warning light that turned out to be a false alarm, this was sorted by Ross for us with a quick visit to a garage close to where we were , so it did not impact on our plans at all.
All in all a great service, Ross was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish.
We would definately rent from them again and would recomend them without hesitation.

We had THE best time travelling South to North for 3 months in our trusty Camperco rental.
Ross provided excellent service right from the start and we are so happy we chose to rent from him - nothing was too much trouble. The van may have been a little older but was perfect for our trip - comfortable and reliable. If there were any issues Ross was only a text or call away to help resolve them. We couldn’t be more grateful for the experience and all the memories we created on our trip.

We loved our stay in NZ and CamperCo definitely made that possible.
We (M30F30) had the campervan and it was perfect for us. Everything worked like a charm and Ross is very approachable for questions if the need should arise. Because CamperCo is a smaller company, the contact was very good and personal. We really appreciated the efforts they put in helping us prepare our trip, and we really felt like the booking was tailored to us.
10/10 would def recommend.

I rented a Camperco Sleepervan (Toyota Estima) for three weeks to solo-travel around both islands and had a brilliant experience.
Ross was very easy and fast to communicate with both before, during, and after the trip, and the vehicle was great to drive. It was also very well outfitted, including a powered fridge, a back-up gas stove and battery, two chairs and a table, a wash tub and a near-new 2-person tent. The bed was very comfy, and I actually had people who had rented with other companies commenting on how envious they were of my set-up.
Highly recommend!!

I had an amazing time with my Camperco rental.
Ross was super quick to respond to my rental request and was able to get a van ready for me despite my last minute booking. He took the time to show me all the ins and outs of the van, made sure I had everything I needed, and was readily available for any questions! I highly recommend Camperco for any of your NZ travel needs!

Everything was perfect.
We are very happy to have booked a campervan for 23 days with Camperco. Very kind people and really good service. The van worked perfectly and was fully equiped for cooking, sleeping and storing things properly. The water supply, grey water system, gas and solar panels worked perfectly and we had power enought for our electrical devices. Definitely a recommendable experience and we would repeat it with Camperco. A special mention to Ross who was attentive to everything and was very kind.

Spent 29 nights in the van.
Pick up and drop off was very easy and relaxed. The van was so comfortable and had no issues with its running. Van was great on diesel. Ross was so helpful and easy to contact. We had a great experience.

Had a great time with our camper from CamperCo in New Zealand!
We travelled the North and half of the South Island with the 2-3 Berth Motorhome (with toilet and shower) for 5 weeks and definitly fell in love with our camper. It was well maintained, really good equipped and fitted all our needs. As we travelled as a couple we could use the back part of the camper as our sleeping area.
The communication with CamperCo was easy, friendly and really uncomplicated. We loved the introduction Danny gave us at the beginning. And also Ross was there everytime if you needed.
We would definitly rent again with CamperCo and can highly recommend them.
