About This Company
A family-owned and operated business who started their business in 1996, Affordable Motorhomes is a smaller company based out of Christchurch, offering motorhomes, campervans, and sleepervans in models from 2 to 4 berths.
This family-owned and operated business in Christchurch has been in the industry for more than a decade. Additionally operating in Auckland, the small size and close-knit nature of the company means that they are able to collect customers from either city's airport and the surrounding areas; they can also arrange pick-up and drop-off locations for hired vehicles. There's plenty of flexibility in booking since the family-owned business doesn't have the strict internal regulations that often force larger companies to deny requests for rentals of less than a week. This high level of attention to detail and strong customer service, as well as truly affordable prices (as little as $33 a day in the low season), has made them a favorite among couples and small families looking to rent motorhomes for trips in New Zealand.
Unusually, all the motorhomes, campervans and sleepervans offered are custom-built within the family business, which appears to be part of what contributes to their low rental cost and reliability. Each model is fully self-contained and certified, which means that you can stay in them in campsites managed by the Department of Conservation, whose guidelines they adhere to, and in sites where there are no designated toilet facilities. Plus, all motorhomes are diesel-powered so you'll be getting a great deal of savings. There's no need to plug into a power supply to keep warm because the units come with an on-board independent heating system, together with other important add-ons such as a roof-mounted solar panel and standard linen.
As their name goes, Affordable Motorhomes focuses on cheaper rentals without compromising quality and personalized service. Their fleet of motorhomes, campervans, and sleepervans may not be the newest but these work great, and you can rely upon their dependable staff when the need arises.
