Discover New Zealand in comfort and freedom with Campervan Neptune Explorer, a well-maintained and easy-to-drive campervan perfect for couples or solo travellers. This diesel-powered van is reliable, economical, and fully equipped for relaxed road trips across Aotearoa. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable double bed with quality bedding, ideal for a restful night after a day of exploring. The interior layout is practical, clean, and uncluttered — giving you everything you need without sacrificing space. There’s also space in the back for a surfboard! The kitchen inside the van is equipped with all essential utensils, pots, pans, a gas cooker, and a fridge to keep your food fresh. You can cook comfortably inside or take your cooking outdoors for a true camping experience. Camper-van Explorer comes with a dedicated outdoor kitchen setup, including: • A sturdy outdoor table • A portable cooker • A Wok — perfect for stir-fries or Mongolian BBQ under the open sky Enjoy breakfast with the back doors open, or prepare a sizzling wok meal at a scenic campsite — the choice is yours. Driving is smooth and enjoyable thanks to the 6-speed manual gearbox, and the diesel engine provides excellent fuel efficiency. As per NZ law for diesel rental vehicles, a Road User Charge (RUC) of 9 cents per kilometre applies, calculated at the end of your trip. This campervan is fully compliant with New Zealand regulations and comes with a valid COF (Certificate of Fitness), along with all required safety equipment. My background is German, and I’m happy to speak German if needed (Schlüsselübergabe und Einweisung gern auf Deutsch). Whether you’re heading to stunning beaches, peaceful lakes, or mountain adventures, Campervan Neptune Explorer is your reliable and well-equipped travel companion. I am to make your experience smooth and enjoyable, and I’m always happy to help with local tips or travel advice. *Special Offer: Due to high fuel costs and winter season daily rate reduced to $125.00 until end of August 2026.

    This van has everything you need for a perfect vacation! Claus has appointed the van very well and it suited our needs very well. You wont be disappointed by the van as your home away from home and it performs well, and of course working with Claus is as smooth as can be, he is very detailed oriented and leaves nothing to question. Thanks for a great tripwe will be back!
