FAQ’s

  • Because they're awesome.  Well, we think they are anyway.... They're no luxury ride but they're built like no other.

  • Easy, it takes a few minutes to set-up the tent, and about the same to pack them away. When you book with us, we’ll send you instructions ahead of your booking and are here to help if there are any other questions.

  • Christchurch, Auckland, & Queenstown. Please contact us prior to booking to ensure the vehicle is in the location you require.

  • Standard excess is $7,500. There are options to reduce excess, which can be selected at checkout or view the table below.

  • We accept Visa and MasterCard at no additional charge.  American Express/AMEX will incur a 3% fee in addition to the rental.

  • Please click through our 'book now' link below. A non-refundable holding deposit will be charged at the time of booking in the amount of 75% of the total booking. There is also a bond held which is in the amount of insurance excess applicable to the driver dependent on age.

  • We are charged diesel road-user charges by the NZ government - we simply pass these costs on at the end of your rental (diesel road user charges (RUC) are charged at $0.0768 per km driven. GST (which is tax) also has to be charged which goes to the government. If you don't fancy cleaning the vehicle at the end of the hire you can pay a fee for us to clean it for you.  If you incur costs when hiring the vehicle (eg: tolls, infringements etc) you are liable to pay those. 

  • No.  We love our Landys and need to be able to hire them out for the next Landys fan.  This means you are expected to treat them with respect and not off-road them recklessly.   For further information on on where you can and can't drive it please refer to our Terms and Conditions, or speak to us.  

  • Refunds are not usually granted for early returns and are only provided in exceptional circumstances and at the sole discretion of Trekker.
