Campervan Hire options for Lions tour of New Zealand.
2017 sees the welcomed return of the British and Irish Lions to New Zealand for a 10 game tour featuring three Test matches, 1 Maori All Black match and 6 provincial games against Super 15 teams across the country.
There’s always something special about a Lions tour for both visiting fans and AB supporters and 2017 promises to be no exception with estimates of up to 50,000 overseas visitors hitting New Zealand shores for the games making it the biggest ever Lions Tour of New Zealand.
With so many visitors accommodation will be at a premium and this includes our speciality ... Campervan rentals. For those who want to explore a little of New Zealand between the hosting cities, happy to take their beds with them and experience more than New Zealand urban life without giving up all the mod-cons then we’d love to recommend renting a NZ campervan with you and your mates. Share the driving, the experience and go home having seen not only some great rugby but also some of the great sights beyond the New Zealand city fringe. What’s more, there’s not need to live rough, with campers coming with fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms, bedding to sleep up to 6, space to stretch out with Flat screen TVs and DVD players.
Experience shows campervans rent out fast. The Lions Tour of Australia in 2013 and previous New Zealand Tour of 2005 saw vehicles sell out quickly and those few remaining came at a very high premium.
