There are a lot of camper rental companies in New Zealand, but if you want a local, top notch, friendly, personal, family-run company then Piwiwiwi is the perfect choice.
Nick and his family are amazing and have gone above and beyond for us on multiple trips and we wouldn't source a camper from anyone else. Their vans are immaculate and the attention to detail is more than obvious. You'll find everything you need provided - cookware, flatware, kettle, french press, linens, etc. The layout and design of the van build is excellent with plenty of storage space and comfy living space. The vans are self-contained under the new green warrant requirements which means it meets the new requirements for water supply, fixed toilet, wastewater system, ventilation, sink, etc. This is important if you want to freedom camp in one of the many allowed beautiful locations across NZ. We own a campervan back home and have rented vans multiple times in various countries and can definitively state that renting from Piwiwiwi has been the smoothest experience and the best, most well-maintained, vans. We think you'll have a blast exploring the beauty of Aotearoa in a Piwiwiwi camper!

Nick, Julie, and kids (the family behind PiwiWiwi) epitomize Kiwi hospitality.
Whether you're looking to rent a campervan, purchase a van, or build out / modify a van, we highly endorse PiwiWiwi. They are straight-forward, honest, helpful, and kind. We were first introduced (virtually) as we started our search for a rental campervan in May 2019. Ultimately we went with a campervan purchase for our 4 month road trip of NZ. Nick found us the van based on our requirements, coordinated the sale, stored the van until we arrived, kitted out the van with goodies, and the kids even named the van for us. We finally got to meet the PiwiWiwi family in real life in January 2020 when we started our travels. Obviously 2020 is turning out to be no ordinary year. Fast forward to September 2020 and, besides the lockdown period, we're still going strong in our van and couldn't be happier. Throughout this challenging year, Nick and family have been there for advice, recommendations, and much more. We are grateful to be able to call the PiwiWiwi family our NZ family.
