Apollo Campervans is one of New Zealand's most recognised and trusted campervan hire operators, with a modern fleet covering the full range from compact hitop
Apollo Campervans is a name that needs little introduction in New Zealand. As part of the global Apollo Tourism & Leisure group — one of the world's largest campervan rental operations with fleets across Australia, New Zealand, and the USA — Apollo NZ brings serious infrastructure to your road trip planning. Three strategically placed depots in Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown mean you can design a flexible itinerary across both the North and South Islands without being locked into a fixed return point.
The New Zealand fleet covers every type of traveller. Couples on a budget will gravitate towards the Hitop Camper or Euro Camper — compact, easy to drive, and simple to park at New Zealand's smaller freedom camping spots. Those wanting more space and comfort will appreciate the Euro Star and Endeavour with their shower, toilet, and proper sleeping configurations. At the top end, the Euro Deluxe delivers genuine home-on-wheels comfort for families or groups of up to six.
Build quality and reliability are genuine strengths. Apollo's vehicles are well-maintained, regularly rotated out of fleet, and come with comprehensive roadside assistance throughout New Zealand. The booking process is straightforward, and the depots are professionally run with thorough handover orientations.
The main trade-off with Apollo is scale. You are dealing with a large operation, and the experience can feel less personal than a smaller independent operator. Peak season demand is high — particularly for the popular 4-berth models in December through February — so early booking is essential. Pricing is competitive but additional costs (insurance upgrades, one-way fees, equipment hire) can add up, so it pays to read the fine print carefully.
For travellers who want a reliable, well-resourced campervan hire experience with the backing of a major operator and the flexibility of multiple pickup locations across New Zealand, Apollo is a consistently strong choice.
