We have 3 options for handover. Option 1 - For guests based in NZ or from overseas, arriving at Auckland airport, we will collect you and complete the handover just outside Auckland airport. $50 fee applies. Option 2 - For guests based in NZ or from overseas, arriving at Auckland airport, we will collect you ($50 charge), and bring you to our home in Big Manly where you can complete the handover and start your holiday. Alternatively stay overnight in our Bed and Breakfast room at our family home (subject to availability). You can then stay overnight in a lovely room and wake refreshed to load the van with your belongings, food etc and start your holiday completely rested. (Suitcases etc can also be left with us to save space in the van). Rates for the B&B can be provided on request. Details of our Bed and Breakfast can be seen on our page. Link below:-

Option 3 - For clients arriving by car, we have secure parking at our home where you can leave your vehicle for the duration of your rental (no charge). You can leave immediately or take advantage of our B&B option as mentioned above. Our preferred minimum rental period is 7 days. Renters MUST be non smokers and no pets. We would also appreciate it if our guests could refrain from any cooking which could leave long lasting smells in the van. Other than that we would just ask that the van is returned to us in the same state as it was provided :)
Van must be returned with:-
Full fuel tank. Full gas bottle. Toilet emptied and clean. Road user charges (RUC) paid based on Km's driven (to be paid in cash on return). All vehicles that run on a fuel that does not have an excise at the pump (eg diesel), or weigh more than 3.5 tonnes, are subject to road user charges (RUC). Current rate is $0.062 per kilometre GST inclusive. So for example, if you drive 1000 km's during your holiday, your RUC charge would be $62. North and South Islands only and we would prefer it if you would only use sealed roads i.e. tarmac and not gravel.
