How to pick the right campervan for you

• Theres always a trade-off between the ease of
  driving and the comfort in your vehicle when you
  stop.  Get some tips on Motorhome Hire tips from
  Mighways site.
• If youre struggling to make up your mind on a
  camper van, start by making these decisions
• Van size/berth
• Brand new model (all mod cons) or an
  older/cheaper model
• Manual or automatic transmission?

When pre-booking is highly advisable

• Always book early if you're travelling in peak
  season If you want to hire a campervan for
  travel during December, January or February,
  you'll need to book as early as you can because
  availability becomes pretty scarce in the
  Aussie/Kiwi summer season. 
• Book before you depart and lock in availability
  and price If a campervan hire company were to go
  into liquidation after theyve been paid, we will
  either refund you or book an alternative at no
  extra cost.

How to collect and return your vehicle

• In New Zealand, we hired a Britz van, and like
  most suppliers, they offer a free airport pick
  up/drop off shuttle bus to drive you between the
  depot and airport.
• Collecting You should also be aware of your jet
  lag before you drive as extreme tiredness can
  come on very quickly, making driving an
  unfamiliar vehicle unsafe.
• Returning When dropping off your vehicle,
  theres usually somewhere for unwanted food to be
  left for others to adopt (like cooking oil, salt
  and pepper etc.).

How to plan your driving itinerary

• If you allow as little as seven days to get from
  Cairns to Sydney or from Auckland to
  Christchurch, you won't see all that much, and
  the pace might feel like you're on a mission
  rather than on holiday! 
• If you drive past all those turn-offs for scenic
  look-outs, natural caves and places of historic
  or local interest, youll miss out on so much.

Driving tips

• It might seem like stating the obvious, but since
  campervans are bigger than cars, minor scrapes
  can happen easily. Unless you work on a farm or
  drive trucks for a living, you probably wont be
  familiar with driving large vehicles. 
• Take the insurance
• Parking is a breeze
• Swat up on driving etiquette
• Finding other overnight options
