or direct on: https://sci.thlonline.com/

For rentals of 21 days or more, a 5% discount applies off the rental rates.
Please note: the All Inclusive Option is not discounted. The amount of the discount can be adjusted during the year.

Should a customer have more than one consecutive rental they can be combined to qualify for longer-term hire discounts off the vehicle rate. Consecutive motorhome hires in Australia and New Zealand for Mighty Campers, Maui and Britz can be combined to qualify if the vehicle collection date/s are within a 3-month period. For all rentals to qualify each booking needs to be made at the same time. If a customer makes another booking at a later time, the new booking can be combined to qualify if the vehicle collection date/s are within a 3-month period however, the original booking/s will only qualify for a discount if the booking/s are not already travelling or travelled.

If multiple hires are within the same country and total days exceed 50 days, only the maximum charge applicable to the 'Liability Reduction Option' insurance or the All Inclusive Option will apply. If combining a vehicle hire with another Mighty camper that has a more expensive All Inclusive Option, the more expensive All Inclusive supplement maximum cost is applied.

Vehicle security deposits can be transferred between most multiple rentals. This service is available as long as the vehicle security deposit amounts and currencies are the same.

The long-term hire discount applies for the sum of all rental days together. However, any one-way fee and/or location fee is charged separately for each individual rental.

If multiple hires total more than 100 days these rates and terms do not apply. Requests for quotes/bookings of more than 100 days should be made with us first by email or phone.

Each rental day corresponds to one calendar day, regardless of what time you collect or return the vehicle.
The flex rate that is available at the time of booking determines the daily rental rate. This price that applies from day one of your rental duration then applies for the entire rental period up to the 7th day. Every rental day from the 8th rental day on are counted as a new booking and the flex rate that applies for the 8th day will be used from then on, and the flex rate that applies for the 15th rental day will be used from then, etc. As soon as you have booked, that rate is fixed, i.e. the price you pay per day will not change, even if the flex rates change at a later date.

To find out which flex rate is currently valid for the vehicle you are interested in, just click for a price calculation for your desired rental period. The base flex rate is calculated by the rental company on the basis of supply and demand and is adjusted once a week every Sunday. 

For bookings of 5 vehicles or more or for long-term hires of 100 days or more we will need to place special request with Mighty Campers as other prices and conditions may apply. This also applies to multiple hires that add up to 100 days or more.

Please note: If you decide to extend your rental duration before you actually collect your vehicle, the same flex rate is used to calculate the additional rental days that applied on the day when you made your original booking as long as the original pick-up date has not been changed. Moreover, if you decide to add the All Inclusive option at a later date this can be done without changing the flex rate. For all other changes to your booking, the booking will be re-calculated by using either the original flex rate or the flex rate that applies at the time of the booking change, depending on which rate is higher.

The following situations are classified as booking alterations:
- Change of date for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of location (depot) for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change

The cancellation fees apply as stated in the Motorhome Bookers booking conditions.
If the vehicle is collected later than the pick-up day booked, or returned earlier than booked no refunds will be provided.

These seats are compulsory in New Zealand for children up to 7 years of age or 36kg in weight. You can rent them with Mighty Campers for NZ$ 36 per seat/per rental (except if you booked the All Inclusive Option in advance in which these costs are already included). Please provide us with the age(s) and weight(s) of your children when making your booking so that we can reserve the appropriate seat(s) as these need to be booked in advance. Children between 0 and 4 years and up to 18kg must use a child seat, between 4 and 7 years (15kg-36kg) must use a booster seat.

The local taxes are included in the prices you pay us.
The only exception to this is the Road User Charge Recovery Fee, which is payable locally (unless you purchase the Express Return Option locally).

- Highball, Deuce, Deuce Plus and Double Down: NZ$ 7.64 per 100 kilometres driven

For any amounts payable in NZ$ at the depot, the following sales taxes are charged in addition to the cost: 15% GST.

We have sought to provide this information as accurately as possible. However, we cannot accept responsibility for any changes such as new additional fees charged by the rental company at pick-up time or sudden local tax increases that may be made by the New Zealand government.

The standard insurance is included in the rental rates. The third-party element of this insurance comes with a maximum cover amount of NZ$ 20 million and covers bodily damage inflicted upon a third party. There is no insurance cover for injury caused to the renter or passengers of the rental vehicle and Mighty Campers does not provide an insurance option for this.

The included standard insurance has an excess of NZ$ 3,500 per incident for the Highball and Double Down or NZ$ 5,000 per incident for the Deuce, Deuce Plus, Double Up or Big Six. The renter is liable for this excess in the event of an accident and applies to any material damage to third-party property or the rental vehicle, regardless of who causes the accident. This liability remains in place until a third party admits liability and makes a payment to cover costs incurred.

With the standard insurance any damage to the motorhome or any third party property during the hire will need to be paid during the vehicle drop-off process at the end of the hire - if you did not book the All Inclusive Option in advance or the Liability Reduction locally. Costs incurred will be calculated and recovered at drop-off which requires sufficient time to enable a damage inspection.

To see a list of the types of damage where there is no insurance cover please refer to the section 'Insurance Exclusions'.

In New Zealand it is not compulsory for the locals to have third-party insurance. In the event of an accident or if someone flees the scene the renter is liable for any damage caused within the limit of the excess. You can reduce the level of the excess or waive it as follows:

The All Inclusive Option can be booked in advance through us (see 'Inclusions' above - only available in advance - not at the depot). This option includes the 'Liability Reduction Option' insurance supplement as well as the 'Single Vehicle Rollover Cover' and Overhead/Underbody damage cover.

Alternatively, you have the option of purchasing the following insurance option locally as outlined below.

* = first amount is valid for Highball und Double Down/ second amount for Double Up, Deuce, Deuce Plus and Big Six Campervans.

Excess:

* = first amount is valid for Highball und Double Down/ second amount is valid for Double Up, Deuce, Deuce Plus and Big Six Campervans
** = 'Out-of-action' costs for a damaged vehicle, which cannot be re-rented for such reasons
*** = Single Vehicle Accident with roll over is only covered if the All Inclusive Option has been booked in advance

With the standard insurance the deposit (which covers the level of the excess) can be provided by credit card only (Visa or Mastercard are accepted). Pre-paid credit cards, cash or travellers cheques are not accepted. Credit cards must be valid for 90 days following the end date of the rental.
The owner of the credit card must be present and sign when providing the deposit and he/she is liable for any damages to the rental vehicle and to the property of third party. This deposit can only be provided by the renter as named in the booking and it cannot be spread over 2 or more credit cards.

NOTE: please ensure that you have sufficient funds on your credit card before departure.

All credit card payments are made in New Zealand Dollars.
With any transactions made using a credit card including providing your deposit with your credit card, administration charges of 2% for Visa/Mastercard and 5.2% for American Express will apply in addition to the standard payment amounts.
If the vehicle is returned undamaged and in good condition, credit card surcharges applicable to vehicle security deposits are refunded when the vehicle security deposit is refunded (only applies to payments made with VISA or Mastercard).

Neither the rental company nor the tour operator is liable to pay any cost differences that occur between the cost of the deducted deposit and the reimbursement resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations or external fees.

For standard insurance (i.e. without the additional excess reduction):
The deposit will be deducted from the credit card when you collect your vehicle. This amount is returned to you when you return your campervan if the vehicle is returned without any damage or third party incidents having taken place. Any fluctuations in foreign exchange rates or fees are borne by the renter.

With the Liability Reduction Option or if you book the All Inclusive Option through Motorhome Bookers, an imprint of the credit card is all that is required at pick-up time. The customer authorises Mighty to charge any fees such as cleaning fees, speeding or parking fines, rental extensions etc.

The deposit will be reimbursed in full as long as the vehicle is returned in the same condition in which it was collected, with full petrol/diesel and LP Gas tanks (the tanks can be returned empty if you have purchased the Express Return Option). The rental company reserves the right to charge a cleaning fee of NZ$ 250 if the interior of the vehicle is excessively dirty at drop-off. This fee can also be charged for smoking related cleaning. The toilet and waste water tank must be completely empty, otherwise a further fee in the amount of the Express Return option will be charged.

The excess is always banked in the first instance, regardless of who is at fault and is owed to the rental company by the renter. It applies per incident and if a further accident occurs, a separate deposit is then payable to the same total. The excess is refunded to the renter if a third party admits liability and makes a payment to cover the corresponding costs. However, this can take some time.

If you choose to take out the Liability Reduction Option, the excess amount is eliminated for the following incidents:

Accidental damage to the vehicle (excluding damage caused by the vehicle rolling) and to the property of third parties, towing or recovery costs following an accident, damage resulting from theft, a burglary or fire. Any revenue the rental company loses as a result of the vehicle being repaired following such events is also taken from the excess.

All insurance cover is null and void if the terms of the Mighty Campers New Zealand rental agreement are breached. Any damage that is caused when the renter acts outside of the rental company conditions is not covered by any insurance.

Any damage caused by the vehicle rolling over where the renter is at fault, is not covered by the insurance unless the All Inclusive Option is purchased in advance. A vehicle rollover is deemed to have occurred where damage to the vehicle results from the vehicle rolling or tipping to such a degree that any or all tyres lose normal contact with the road surface.
The insurance does not cover damage in the case of (salt-)water related damage, vehicle submersion, the vehicle being stranded in a water area, driving through causeways or beach driving.

Damage to the underbody, roof or roof appendages is not covered unless you have purchased the 'Liability Reduction Option' insurance or the All Inclusive Option.

Any personal property that is damaged or stolen during an accident, vandalism or a theft is not insured. Private insurance should be purchased in your home country to cover any such issues. In order to avoid theft of personal items from the vehicle it is advised not to leave any valuables in the vehicle.

In the cases listed below, the renter is fully liable for damage to the rental vehicle and third-party property, i.e. no insurance cover whatsoever is provided:

- Any use of the vehicle prohibited under the Mighty Rental Agreement.
- Any damage caused by wilful misconduct (e.g. sitting or standing on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle) or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or negligence.
- Any loss or damage to any personal belongings or property of the customer (or any person or entity related to the customer), except where such loss or damage is caused by Mighty’s (or that of its employees) own negligence or breach of the Mighty Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions. Please do  not leave valuables in the vehicle and take out personal travel insurance.
- Any damage where the customer is charged by local authorities for being careless, showing gross negligence or wilfulness in failing to abide by the local road rules, resulting in damage to the hired vehicle or third party vehicle/property.
- Retrieving or recovering a vehicle, which may include, but is not limited to a vehicle that has become bogged, submerged, caught, trapped, stuck or restricted in anyway and/or has been abandoned, in each case in circumstances within the control of the customer.
- Replacing keys, which have been lost or stolen, or retrieval of keys which have been locked in a vehicle.
- Any overhead and underbody damage to the vehicle however caused, except where Liability Reduction Option or the All Inclusive Package has been purchased.
- Any single vehicle rollover except where the All Inclusive Package has been purchased.
- Damage caused to the vehicle because total load (kg) has exceeded recommended load as stated in vehicle manual. Vehicles are not to be used for the purpose of transporting and haulage of goods other than what might be reasonably expected of a leisure rental.
- Damage caused by drivers not identified on the rental agreement and/or drivers whose licence has been cancelled or suspended and/or drivers who have a licence that is classified as a learners or probationary licence.
- Any damage caused to the vehicle due to the incorrect use of snow chains.
- Any damage associated with the incorrect use of fuel (fuel being diesel or petrol), which includes Biofuel which should not be used, or water or other contamination of fuel.
- Any water related damage which includes, but is not limited to, vehicle submersion, contact with salt water, creek or river crossings, driving
through flooded areas and beach driving.
- Any damage caused to the vehicle by a customer’s cat or dog.

Whilst we appreciate accidents may occur, there are also clearly cases of driver negligence where any insurance coverage is voided. This would include incidents where the driver is found to be in breach of the law in terms of speed, alcohol, drugs, or is found by the police or investigating authority to have been driving in a dangerous or negligent manner. In all such instances, Mighty Campers reserves the right to pursue full recovery from the renter.

All credit card payments are made in New Zealand Dollars.
With any transactions made using a credit card - for example for hire extensions or the purchase of any optional extras locally - additional and non-refundable administration charges will apply on top of the standard payment amounts as follows:
Visa, Mastercard: 2.7%
American Express: 5.2%

If you provide a deposit via credit card an administration fee will also apply in line with the amounts mentioned above - on top of the deposit amount. Please be aware that these are refunded with the deposit amount if you use Visa or Mastercard but are not refunded if you use American Express. If the deposit is kept by the rental company, these fees will not be refunded either, regardless of which credit card you use.

Neither the rental company nor the tour operator is liable to pay any cost differences that occur between the cost of the deducted deposit and the reimbursement resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations or external fees.

Where speeding tickets and parking fines and/or accidents (e.g. that have not been mentioned to the rental company) come to light the rental company reserves the right to invoice the customer for these costs in arrears as well as a processing fee of NZ$ 60 or charge their credit card.

The vehicle is equipped with a Telematic System for monitoring the travel speed. If you receive 3 or more notifications for travelling at excessive speed you agree, that Mighty may impose a NZ$ 300 fee to your credit card.

The insurance options offered by the rental company do not include luggage insurance, nor do they include cover for any damage to the driver or passengers. It is therefore recommended to obtain travel insurance that covers accidents, sickness and loss of luggage prior to departure.

A valid national driving licence is accepted for use in New Zealand as long as the details are also provided in English. If the licence does not also provide information in English an international driving licence is then required together with the original. The driver must have possessed a full and valid driving licence for at least a year at pick-up.

It is legally required in New Zealand - in the case of a random police check- that every renter who possesses a national driving licence in any other language other than English is also able to present either an international driving licence or an officially authorised English translation of their license. The translation must be provided by a NZ Transport Agency authorized translation service or a diplomatic representative at a high commission, embassy or consulate, or the authority that issued your overseas licence. This must be presented along with the national licence and one is not valid without the other. An International Driving Permit may be acceptable as a translation if in English.

The minimum age for the rental of the Highball and Double Down is 18 years. The minimum age for the Deuce, Deuce Plus, Double Up and Big Six is 21 years.

Additional drivers can be registered at the time of vehicle collection for a fee of NZ$ 2 per rental day and driver, up to a limit of NZ$ 30. This is free if you book the All Inclusive Option. Anyone wanting to drive the motorhome must have their details entered in the rental agreement.

Before you can collect your vehicle you are required to present a valid driving licence, credit card (compulsory), your passport as well as the Motorhome Bookers voucher at the depot.

Please note carefully the maximum number of passengers allowed per vehicle as per the details provided when you click on the picture of your vehicle and view the vehicle specifications on our website.

Any additional costs such as higher petrol costs or ferry crossing costs, etc will not be reimbursed. This does not enable the renter to cancel his/her booking and there is no ground for compensation. Even though all vehicle models within a category have similar equipment and designs small differences in design may exist. All measurements and size indications are approximate values and are based on the information provided to us by the rental company. We cannot accept responsibility for any mistakes or human error in the provision of these details. This kind of information on our website can be changed at any time without prior notice.

The rental company reserves the right to charge a fee of NZ$ 250 if the interior of any returned vehicle is very dirty (including smoking related cleaning). Toilets and waste water tanks (if the vehicle is equipped with these) must be completely emptied, otherwise another NZ$ 250 as well as a further fee in the amount of the Express Return option will be charged. The petrol/diesel and LP Gas tanks must be returned full (unless the Express Return Option has been purchased locally).

Despite regular quality control checks problems can still arise with the vehicles from time to time.
In the event of an accident, breakdown, technical difficulties (including problems with tyres) you are required to inform the rental company immediately and within a maximum time-frame of 24 hours on the toll-free service line provided (not guaranteed to work or to be free if called from overseas mobile phones).

Apart from contacting the rental company (within 24 hours), you are also required to contact the police if you have any kind of accident. Third-party claims should not be agreed to. The police report needs to include names and contact details of any people involved as well as witness details and vehicle registration details of the vehicles involved.

Note: If you do not inform Mighty Campers immediately about the need for a repair or other problem you encounter and if Mighty Campers is not given the opportunity to help you find you a solution no compensation will be provided. If the renter seeks compensation for any vehicle problems after the vehicle has been returned without having informed the rental company during the rental period no compensation can be given.

A nationwide network of contracted mechanics are available in these cases. Small repairs and costs for the upkeep of the vehicle up to the value of NZ$ 200 can be carried out without prior communication with the rental company and will be refunded to you at vehicle drop-off time. For repairs that will cost more than NZ$ 200 you are required to inform the rental company before repairs take place in order to obtain their approval to proceed. All repairs can only be reimbursed upon presentation of a receipt.

Up to 2 cats or dogs may be carried in the campervan at NZ$ 299. Pets which travel must be registered, treated for fleas and be controllable. At pick-up and drop-off in the rental locations, customers must ensure that their pet is secure on a lead and is supervised by an adult outside the rental depot. Pets must be clean and dry before entering the campervan. Whilst driving, pets must be restrained in the rear of the campervan, avoiding the possibility of distracting the driver. A cleaning fee may be charged for any animal related soiling of the campervan.

If you are planning to take the ferry between the North and South Island (in either direction) in the months between October and March you should make a reservation.
The ferry crossing takes approx. 3 hours and is a fantastic experience. You can change your reservation locally if there is space available on the day in question. This change is free of charge if made at least 1 day in advance of your originally booked crossing.
We can make the reservation for you at no extra charge. You then pay the rental company for this at the depot when you collect the vehicle. You will receive the ticket then too. You can also book it directly on the internet on the Interislander website.
