About This Company
Started as a side gig and now a full-time business, Epic Campers is a well-known, local, and independent campervan hire with a depot in Auckland. They rent out white-washed, self-contained 2 berth campervans.
In 2018, the owners combined their love for travelling with business, hence the birth of Epic Campers. They are located in Mount Albert, which is a 20-minute taxi ride from Auckland Airport. They may allow pickups and drop-offs outside their office hours but for an extra charge. Epic Campers focuses on self-contained campervans that can be rented by those 21 years old or older. Their rates are on the budget side, which is an added feature to the good reputation of this small but growing company.
All Epic campervans are exactly the same—white-washed, high-roofed Mazda Bongos with the self-containment sticker and company logo on the exterior. Since all campervans are self-contained, renters are blessed with freedom and ease whilst travelling. The age ranges from 2011 or newer so that you are assured of highly functional campervans.
Epic Campers insurance excess is $5,000 while bond amounts to $2,500 (Risk Taker). This can be reduced by taking one of their excess waiver options: Chancer and Epic Cover.
Whilst Epic Campers only offers a restricted fleet of the same campers, they hold a great reputation when it comes to the quality of service and maintenance of vehicles. All rentals are personally handled by the owner, hence seamless instructions and communication.
