NZ Kombi Hire

NZ Kombi Hire rents restored vintage VW Kombi campervans from Alexandra in Central Otago, ideal for self-drive South Island adventures. Vehicles are presented for genuine retro camping with booking options and packing guidance on the website.

The company lists unlimited kilometres, a refundable security hold, optional linen packs, and a pickup/return location in Alexandra (about an hour from Queenstown Airport). Allow 30–45 minutes at pickup for a full vehicle induction.

Pick up your restored VW Kombi in Alexandra and receive a full vehicle induction before you drive off. Vans are compact, retro-fitted for two people and designed for leisurely road trips rather than high-speed long-haul towing.

Look out for:

• Classic VW interiors and restored exteriors named individually (examples: “Rhonda”, “Pippi”).

• Unlimited kilometres included, suitable for long-day drives around Central Otago and beyond.

• Security hold: $1,500 (drivers 25+) or $2,500 (under 25) held as a pre-authorisation and released on safe return.

• Optional linen pack and other hire extras available to simplify self-catering.

Best way to experience it:

Plan shorter daily drives to match the Kombi’s vintage character, camp at local DOC or private sites, and factor in slower speeds and time for strolls and stops through Central Otago scenery. Book in advance for summer dates and review the packing guide on the website.

• Published rates start from NZ$250 per day (24‑hour period).

• Bond/security hold: $1,500 (drivers 25+) or $2,500 (under 25), pre-authorised and released after return.

• Optional linen pack available for a one-off fee; extras and gift vouchers offered on the site.

• Allow 30–45 minutes at pickup for a full induction; pickup/return is in Alexandra (about an hour from Queenstown Airport).
