Escape Campervans New Zealand

Established in 2003 by three friends, Escape Rentals New Zealand is a hire company that rents out campervans sleeping up to three adults. Each van features individual artwork by company artists, generally aimed at the budget market.

Escape Rentals claims to have the most modern and reliable campers of any budget fleet in the country. All vehicles are Qualmark endorsed with no hidden costs. One-way hires are available, and the company operates depots in Auckland and Christchurch for convenient pickup and drop-off.

The fleet comprises approximately 200 vehicles with an average age of five years (interior fitouts under three years old). Most are Toyota Hiace models with some Nissans and Mazdas. All run on unleaded petrol in manual or automatic transmissions, include fitness certificates, and follow strict maintenance protocols.

Generally, Escape Rentals has generated numerous positive reviews. Customers praised affordable pricing, spacious beds, and ample storage. However, some complained about limited power supply and older-than-expected vehicles. Company representatives typically respond to both positive and negative feedback.

These older, colorful campervans offer affordable pricing, so perfection shouldn't be expected. Customers receive reliable, rugged units in standard or self-contained configurations.
