About Cruzen Camper

Established in 2019, Cruzen Camper focuses on self-contained vehicles for rent. This small, recent company provides pick-up from Auckland airport to their branch in Mangere East. More than that, they can even allow you to freshen up and enjoy a coffee before starting your road trip. All these little extras give them an edge, despite being new to the campervan rental industry. Cruzen Camper originates from different campervan layouts and ended up with one versatile and fully-functional van design that is intended for freedom camping. This means that their camper is suitable in DOC campgrounds and reserves. 

Fleet

At present, they only offer two campervans with one campervan layout―though they are planning to expand their fleet in the near future. Their units are outlined for two persons. But of course, what they lack in their fleet is they compensate in the amenities they provide in the campervan. Focusing on self-contained units, renting a camper from them gives you more comfort because of the camper inclusions and even some extras. Inside these well-equipped and well-priced campervans are amazing inclusions such as cutlery, dinnerware, sleeping essentials, towels, and awning. Also part of your rental are the following: wifi device, safe, Apple play, and solar panels. Their extras for rent include camping chairs, tables, fleece blanket, and solar shower. 

Vehicles

Kiwi Cruzer

The Kiwi Cruzer is meant for NZ's specific regulations and driving conditions. It's a 2 berth model in automatic transmission. Don't underestimate this compact camper because it's designed for ultimate comfort and style. Inside, you'll love the interior led lighting and all the built-in charging outlets. For your kitchen needs, you have a 30L compressor fridge, a 2-burner LPG cooker, and overhead storage areas. And since there's a fixed flushing toilet inside, you can just rent their solar shower for utmost convenience. Surprisingly, a WiFi hotspot that can connect up to 5 devices is included so you are still up-to-date with everything while on travel. 

The vans are not too big nor not too small. These are Nissan NV200 with impressive interior height. Because of its size, you can easily maneuver it along scenic roads as well as smoothly park it at campgrounds and even car parks.  

Insurance

To ensure you a comfortable and safe road trip, you are given insurance options. The security bond/ liability amounts to NZ $3, 000, which can be reduced by paying extra daily costs. An additional of $20 per day, the deposit becomes NZ $2, 000 and $25 per day reduces it to NZ$ 0. 

Reputation

Cruzen Campers, established in 2018, starts with one campervan style―a 2 berth, self-contained unit. Since they only have one campervan layout to offer, travellers more than 2 may not be suitable to their fleet. Still, their rental range does not disappoint as their vans are created to make the most out of the interior van space. Plus, the campervan inclusions are worth the mention. You get the basic facilities and even some practical extras like Wifi hotspots and charging points.

Summary

Specializing in self-contained campervan rental, Cruzen Camper allows you to travel with ease. This recent Auckland-based company is something you might want to try if you prefer a less stressful campervan hire.
