About

ActionVaNZ Ltd , Southern Lakes Motorhome Hire, was created in 2009.

G`day, Rory Alexander here, I  settled here in 2008 after travelling more than 25,000km around NZ on three visits from the UK.

When booking campers, I was amazed and often baffled by the range of insurance options and extras, and worried about losing a big deposit or even driving too far. Some operators even had a surcharge for ending a hire in Queenstown …… they still do!

I am passionate about Motorhoming and have been since Dad bought his first van when I was 3 years old.  The quality of life and freedom it provides, the ideal way to see most developed countries, especially New Zealand`s huge variety of climate and landscapes, and that`s just the South Island.

At ActionVaNZ we have a range of standard or luxury vehicles, every van has a shower, toilet, satellite navigation system and the ability to carry bicycles.

For each type of vehicle we have there is

  • one deposit option
  • one insurance option
  • and we charge for very few extras

We do this to make life as simple as possible for your complete peace of mind and comfort.

We`ll collect you from the airport, free, and drive you the short distance through the breathtaking Karawau Gorge to our base in Cromwell, situated next to the stunning Lake Dunstan.

On arrival we will provide refreshments while we chat about your proposed journey round ‘Godzone’, offering suggestions based on our own trips and that of our clients. You’ll discover some of South Island’s best kept secrets.

Then we`ll show you through your Motorhome, making sure you understand how everything works. If you`re tired from your flight we may suggest you stay at the local campsite, free, in your vehicle, with our compliments.

If you`re a local, we can collect you from within 50km or provide free secure parking.

If you`re considering buying your own luxury British Motorhome, then renting is the ideal way to ‘Try before you buy’ and we`ll refund 3 days hire if you later buy from our sister company, Alexander Motorhomes, who have access to 700 new or nearly new vehicles in the UK.

We very much look forward to sending you out in one of our vehicles for a memorable holiday with total peace of mind.

Best wishes

Rory Alexander
