Answer 1

Appollo is very good they are getting big in NZ now and are based near the airport.

Answer 2

Kia ora (gidday),

Probably the best would be Maui. (I don't know where you're from so I don't know how difficult that will be to pronounce. It's the same word in Hawaiian. Try mow as in plough, ee.)

They are the biggest company and have the most to lose by offering poor service. Their depot is a kilometre from the Airport, they'll meet you off your plane.

The New Zealand Motor Caravan Association may offer you a limited membership with all the bonuses. Check them out and send an enquiry to them.

They have "Park Over Properties" in every locality all around the country available for a small donation, usually $2.00 per night. Driving through the country you'll see a small yellow sign with red lettering at the gates of these properties with the NZMCA wings and P.O.P under them.

Make sure your campervan is completely self contained or you'll find many parks, resorts etc will not welcome you.

Make sure that more than one person has the right Drivers Licence or you'll always have a tired and grumpy person to contend with. Any van over 4.500 kg gross weight (and a 6 berth will be) must be driven by holders of a heavy motor vehicle license, easier to obtain before you arrive in the country.

Do NOT hire a van from Wicked vans in Christchurch. They are cheap. They are not self contained. They are painted with obscene messages that 10 year old boys may find funny. They are not welcome in the settlements of the South Island. (I can't speak for the North Island in that respect.)

There are 2 Pop-over places in Hampden, the town nearest the Moeraki Boulders (5/6 hours south of Christchurch). Call in at the northernmost property, driving south it's the first house in the town to your right and tell them Driver T sent you.

Enjoy yourselves while you are in NZ.
