Kiwi Campers recommends using the Bluebridge ferry when crossing between New Zealand's two Islands. Unlike other rental companies in New Zealand we do not increase the ferry rates when you book through Kiwi Campers. The price will be the same at www.bluebridge.co.nz. At your request we can book your motorhome on the ferry and add this cost to your booking.
“The Bluebridge experience is a truly New Zealand one with warm kiwi hospitality, fresh tasty fare and locally roasted coffee, free big screen movies, comfortable lounge and relaxation areas and stunning scenery.”
When you have decided what best suits your needs, you can e-mail or call us with your date of travel, the departure time, and the names of all members of your group or add these details when you first make the motorhome booking.
