Frequently Asked Questions

Should I hire a campervan, a motorhome or a car?

A campervan or motorhome is your transport and your bed, so you can stay at campgrounds and holiday parks without booking rooms. A car is cheaper to hire and run, and suits trips where you'll stay in cabins, motels or tents.

Can I drive in New Zealand on my overseas licence?

Yes, if it's current. If it isn't in English, carry an approved English translation or an International Driving Permit as well. You can drive on it for up to 12 months from each arrival.

Can I drive in Australia on my overseas licence?

Generally yes for a visit, as long as it's current — NSW and Victoria, for example, allow up to six months. A licence that isn't in English needs an English translation or an International Driving Permit. Rules vary by state, so check the state you'll drive in.

How old do I need to be to hire a motorhome?

Usually 21 with a full licence for Maui and Apollo motorhomes. Some budget campervan brands such as Mighty and Cheapa Campa take drivers from 18, while Camplify owners generally require drivers to be 25 or over.

Which side of the road do you drive on?

The left, in both New Zealand and Australia. Give yourself time to adjust before long drives, especially in a larger vehicle.
