If you are happy with our quote and would like to book the vehicle, please click on the link in the yellow box on the quote. This link will forward you to our secure payment system. While registering, a booking fee of NZD 9 will apply.
After having received your booking request, we will bindingly book the camper for you and send a booking confirmation. Then, we will charge your credit card with the amount of the deposit which is between 12.5% and 20% of the cost for the whole journey. The booking confirmation will also detail on which date your final payment will be due. The final payment is due 40 days prior arrival and will be deducted automatically of your registered credit card (3% credit card fees apply). We also offer bank transfers and Transferwise payments to avoid credit card fees.
If you are planning on visiting New Zealand during the summer months (November- February), especially during the Christmas and Easter periods, you should book your camper at least half a year in advance. Especially, our popular family vehicles are always booked out early.
We accept VISA and Mastercard (Please note that we do not accept American Express).

Most of our vehicles are equipped with a separate house battery which does not drain the engine battery. You can use the battery for 24 – 48 hours without driving or being plugged into mains power.

The Kingsleeper does not have a second house battery and its cool box gets electricity during driving.
