I flew singapore airlines a few years ago, went from Vancouver to Japan to Singapore where I stopped over a few days, then onto Christchurch. Ive heard some rentals are cheaper if you start on South Island then drop off on north, as less travellers do it that way.

Thank you! We're going for a month, so time in Singapore! Hadn't thought of that. I've traveled Tokyo without hubby, I loved it
. I would love to pop in there with him

Hi Robbin, I had answered a few questions on NZ campervan before so possibly me. I am a fan of Jucy campervans but there are so many to choose from. It's all about booking early to get the good deals as it gets crazy during peak season and booking late. Not sure on your situation but the last one we booked was great for 2 adults with good storage...cooking was easy and well ventilated. NZ has the best camping sites and campervan culture is respected by locals . There are all levels of facilities depending on what you require.... we did a mix of freedom camping and paid (all levels) .

This is the one we booked. Bench area folds into double bed that is decent comfort and I (6ft) was able to stand when bed was down. Britz, Apollo and a ton of other RV rental brands are available.

Greg, thank you very much. It's for 2 n we are trying to piece together a one month trip early 2018

It's a blast and so many different routes to plan...we have a hard time leaving the wine areas. Everywhere part of the 2 islands are beautiful ...make sure you check out the far north...stunning as you head up the matakana wine region.

Hi everyone, I am looking for camper van rental information in NZ. It was posted here recently but I can't find it now. Information such as preferred company names. Is it comfortable? Any other details is very much appreciated. Ps, we want to travel to NZ via Vancouver without stopping in the US, any suggestions here as well. Thank you.
