Start Your New Zealand Adventure with SpringLight Motorhomes

Camplify is New Zealand’s largest peer-to-peer van-sharing platform. When you book through their secure payment system, you’re protected with coverage for damage, roadside assistance, and access to a dedicated support team. Cash payments are not permitted as this excludes us from all the benefits when using Camplify.

You can find booking details, including how to search and request a booking, secure payments, what to do after booking confirmation or in the event of cancellations here.

For information about off-road rules, minimum days and extras, please check out our listing on Camplify by clicking on the RV you wish to hire.

Your hire includes coverage through the Accident Excess Reduction (AER) package. The level of coverage depends on whether you chose the Risk Taker or Happy Camper option. It’s important to read the terms of your AER carefully to understand what’s covered.

A breakdown can be a stressful inconvenience no matter your location. Camplify users can enjoy peace of mind as all hires are covered by a comprehensive network of nationwide roadside assistance by calling 03 668 1211, Option 4.
