Rent out your campervan

Through our community of self builders, professional converters, owners and campervan enthusiasts; Quirky Campers is the home of handcrafted campervans. For the rental side we run the website, actively market your campervan, respond to customer enquiries and get you bookings. We are here to help get your listing live on the website and will be available to answer your questions throughout the process. For this we take 18% (inc. GST) of any bookings we generate for you – based on the total rental paid by the customer (after a deduction for insurance) . We work with you to set a price that reflects the features and location of your van and you decide whether to allow pets, travel to festivals, and what days you can do handovers etc. We will make recommendation based on our years of experience and check through all the details of your listing before we launch you.

1.       You’ll be in good company. Factory-fitted RVs have their place but we celebrate the individuality of hand-crafted campervans – and their owners! – working hard to connect you with guests that are as passionate about your Quirky Camper as we are.

2.       There’ll be less competition. Our goal is to have Quirky Campers all over New Zealand but we’ll be careful not to have too many in one place so that bookings for your Quirky Camper aren’t compromised.

3.       We appeal to a special kind of guest. People that want to rent a Quirky Camper appreciate the creativity and energy put into a unique conversion and want to experience something a little different. This can mean a greater financial return for our owners and more care of your pride and joy.

4.       Quirky Campers pop up in all sorts of places. Not content with just travelling our beautiful backyard, Quirky Campers love an event! With their character and charm, they have appeal for weddings, honeymoons, festivals and other occasions… and this is where people will come to find the perfect van.

5.       Still building? We have lots of inspirational Quirky Campers you can check out and a bunch of resources to help you finish your camper – and make it quirky!

6.       The care factor. We’re a small business with a big heart. We delight in getting to know our campervan owners and sharing their stories. We have high standards to ensure your camper is picture perfect and safe for guests. And we give 10% of our profits to charity.

“Being part of the Quirky Campers family is a super easy and supportive way to rent out our campervan. Leanne and Dan are really helpful, hard-working, and generous with their time. Their communication is amazing, and they are always willing to give up their time to help us out! We’ve also heard nothing but great comments from customers about Quirky when they meet us, meaning they’re already in a good mindset before they go away on their trip! We are so glad to have chosen Quirky as our rental service, and we look forward to a more successful business with them in the future!”
