It has probably happened to you; you're 18, you want to hire a campervan for a weekend with your mates, but the motorhome rental company says that the minimum driver's age is 21. Bummer.
We won't let that happen again. With MyDriveHoliday, there are campervan hire operators who do not have a minimum or maximum age restriction. They allow 18 to 20 year olds to take their vehicles away for the weekend, maybe longer if you want to explore both the North and South Island. You can find the best places to stay in overnight with our awesome listing of
New Zealand Holiday Parks and Freedom Camping Sites.
Remember that a credit card, as well as a full and valid national driver's license, are still required for every rental. Make sure to indicate the type of license (AUS/NZ or International) when entering your travel details into the Quote Calculator. This way, you can avail of the correct rates and great discounts applicable to you. With that in mind, here are the best campervans for the below 21 crowd.
