About This Company

Mighty's depot in Auckland is temporarily transferred from Pearse Drive to Puhinui Road after a fire incident last September 2020. Despite the unfortunate happening, their rental fleet is still open for travellers who are eyeing for an expensive road trip.


Mighty Campers New Zealand is aimed more at the mid-range to budget traveller and supplies 2 berth campervans through to 6 berth motorhomes. They have a total of 6 models for hire, along with 3 Summer Campers from Britz.

The parent company of Mighty, Britz, and Maui - THL - have started introducing a summer peak program where they rent newly built campers for the period rather than buying them. This has already started in Australia and should happen in New Zealand soon. In the meantime, you will just have to deal with 1740! vehicles they already have floating around the land of the long white cloud. You should know that when you deal with Mighty you are dealing with a huge corporation not a mum and dad show or even a small team. Revenue for Financial Year 2016 in NZ alone was NZD$68m and for the whole company across all its operations, it was NZD$279m. THL is listed on the NZ stock exchange.

Mighty tout 'cheap camper rental' as many places as they can. They want to offer as many options as possible so that you are comfortable in knowing that they will be able to accommodate you no matter what you are looking for. They have small and compact and large and homely units—most come with toilet and showers. Just like their sister companies, Maui and Britz, they also have three depots—Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown. With multiple locations, it's easy to go freedom camping around the country. But of course, it's important to have information about NZ freedom camping rules. Check it here. 

Unlike so many other campervan hire companies, Mighty has not branched into crappy car rental -  they are wholly campervan and motorhome. As mentioned they have small 2 berth up to 6 berth motorhomes. Unfortunately, no 4wd campers. Vehicle age is generally getting on a bit as they are the hand-me-downs from Britz mostly, but not always. There is at least one design in here, the Jackpot, that is not in the Britz fleet, but more often than not, expect the vehicle to be 3 to 6 years old.

D. Anderson ★★★ 2.5/5
Review of my Mighty-Campers-New-Zealand hire
Very worn and shabby vehicle outside and inside, spent a couple of hours at our first stop cleaning as everything was dirty, mouldy , crumbs in drawers etc. Supplied bedding also pretty horrible. Van drove well and got us from A to B but wasn't pleasant to spend time in. I would not rent from this company again.

Unexpected, not in a good way.
hugely disappointing experience. SUPRISE $300 fee initially picking up van. Van house battery was flat when picked up the van = no fridge, lights, heating etc had to change the route of our trip to get it fixed in Queenstown (contemplaited taking a photo of battery to check that they had actually changed it but I thought I’d trust this company) Was told the battery had been replaced by unapologetic staff. van still held no charge therefore no appliances worked. Returned van 2 days early to Christchurch and was informed at Christchurch the battery had not been replaced just “checked”it was still the faulty battery. Smelly and dirty van. Terrible instructions on how to use the van, lucky we’re savvy. The only positive was the staff we dealt with in Christchurch.

Review of my Mighty-Campers-New-Zealand hire
We really enjoyed our trip with this campervan. It's a very spacious one, with a powerful engine and a nice interior.

Never again
A mess from start to finish. We arrived having completed all the online check-in information, including our request for child-seats. I even called two days before and they confirmed the child seats were requested on our booking and would be in the camper when we arrived. So when we get shown our camper and there's no seats, I ask where they are, and the girl just turned and walked off saying, and I quote, she "doesn't want to talk to sh!tty people like you". (even this review site won't let me type in the words she actually used. I have no idea why she reacted like this, but maybe she's in the wrong industry. The guy who then took her place (I think his name was Kevin?) was very good. The camper itself was in fairly poor condition, but was functional and clean. The sat-nav hadn't been updated in seemingly a very long time and so didn't show the local routes around the hire-centre correctly which is a problem because the local main road has changed very significantly. Also, the sat-nav wouldn't hold more than 12% charge which didn't last long...a problem because this is where the wifi comes from...so for us to use the wifi we needed the engine running. The vehicle battery (not the home batter) was goosed and went flat on us twice (and no, this wasn't because we left lights on or anything like that) which necessitated me sourcing help to start the vehicle. The pick-up and drop off process was slow, and the staff generally just look uninterested and slow in everything they do. The step didn't function - it is electronically activated and without it you're left with a very large step-up into the vehicle...too large for my 2 year old daughter to cope with, and at one point she slipped down it and injured her back. Overall a very disappointing experience, and I'm still staggered at being called a sh!tty person for seemingly no reason. Pretty disgraceful.
