Star RV New Zealand

Star RV is the luxury motorhome company in New Zealand that treats their customers like stars. If you’re looking for a luxury holiday behind the wheels of the newest 2 to 6 berth motorhomes on the road, Star RV gives a decent and elegant fight.

Star RV is a division from Apollo Tourism & Leisure Ltd., who originate from Australia. They specialize in luxury motorhomes that are 0-3 years old. They claim that they are the only motorhome company to guarantee that every vehicle in their fleet is under a year old. This is a big aspect of their brand and image, and it matters because newer vehicles are much less likely to have mechanical faults and more likely to have good, clean interiors. Their other big emphasis is on customer service; they offer a complimentary valet service, complimentary transfers from airport to branch and vice versa, complimentary linen exchange, and expedited vehicle pickup and return. 

Star RV’s New Zealand range is rather small in comparison to their North American options, with four models available, ranging from 2-berth through 4-berth to 6-berth. This is no bad thing, as it means that the staff is likely to have more detailed knowledge of each model in case anything goes wrong. All the vehicles are manufactured in Brisbane by Apollo’s production company, TALVOR, and built on VW or Mercedes bases.

Each vehicle is equipped with an entertainment system consisting of a flatscreen TV, DVD player, CD/radio and an iPod docking station, and linen is supplied with every hire. In keeping with Star RV’s ‘luxury’ branding, all vehicles have both air conditioning and heating in the driver’s cab and main cabin; in hot summers or cold winters, this can be a godsend! Additionally, some companies charge for camping and picnic furniture, or satellite phones and GPS units, at a day rate; Star RV offer them for hire with vehicles at a one-off cost. 

More than the camping equipment, you should also check the rules of the NZ district/s you're planning to explore. Take advantage of this impressive NZ free camping tool that comes with all the important guidelines per district.
