You’ll probably need to book many of these in advance, so plan your travel and allow plenty of time.

We’re taking extra time to groom and disinfect our campervans.We’ll also be requesting information about your current health status and your travel history prior to arriving at our depot. We can provide you with a NZ SIM card if required (free). ‘Contact tracing’ is really important and whilst we’ll have most of your details on file, we will also need a New Zealand contact number.Make sure we adhere to social distancing requirements by scheduling ‘pick-ups’ and ‘drop offs’ at staggered intervals.We will be disinfecting our customer service area after each check out.

But if you are an experienced, safe and considerate driver, if you’ve checked out the websites above and completed the online driving test, that’s great. If you’re not comfortable with this, if you’re uncertain about driving in unfamiliar conditions, if you lack driving confidence or competence, you need to ask yourself if a self-drive holiday is really right for you? So, this is all about keeping you all safe on our roads. So please check out the following website: This is a new site aimed at educating our international visitors about driving in New Zealand. Escape is also supporting the NZ Tourism Industry Association, the NZ Transport Authority and the NZ Police with their efforts to improve international driver safety. Our depots in both Auckland and Christchurch have several hostels or hotels nearby, so check these out, plan your trip and book some accommodation before (and after) your Escape hire. Just got off a long flight? It’s better to rest than to embark on a road trip in a different country with different driving conditions and an unfamiliar vehicle. Plan for these sorts of delays, get some accommodation sorted and we’ll see you in the morning. Getting through airport customs can take a while when you arrive in New Zealand and traffic in Auckland and Christchurch can be quite troublesome at times.You should use that money for accommodation instead and get an early start with us the following morning. A late pick up MAY be available on request (not guaranteed) but this costs $125.Remember, it takes about 45-60 minutes to check out your van (paperwork, van familiarisation etc.) so you’ll need to be at our depot by 3:00PM (Monday to Friday) or 2:00PM (Saturday and Sunday) at the latest. A late arriving flight may mean you miss our opening hours and get charged for the first day of hire, even though you can’t collect your van until the following day. It removes all risks associated with late flight arrivals.There are huge benefits for you if you plan your trip with an overnight stay at a hostel or hotel before you collect your Escape Campervan:
