Auckland Airport Campervan Hire - JUCY
NZ SHUTTLE MAPS CHC v2

OMG! You made it. Yay. Here’s what you need to know about picking up your JUCY campervan in Christchurch. 

FREE SHUTTLE FROM CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT 

  • If you’ve come from the airport, you’re welcome to ride with us on our free shuttle bus! Read the tab to the left to find out how. 

GET TO KNOW YOUR RIDE 

  • We’ll get the un-JUCY paperwork out the way ASAP as we’re not a stuffy company (does the green and purple campervan give that away?). After that, it’s the fun part where we show you around your new home for the next-however-many-days! A vehicle show-through is awesome for us too, as we love to reveal where we stored all the cool hidden extras. 

  • If you’re feeling a bit nervous about driving on the other side of the road, we can help you out. Just talk to our friendly crew. 

LOCAL TRAVEL ADVICE 

  • Take advantage of our free travel advice, too. From holiday parks to top spots to visit. We get super excited sharing where to go in the area (and eat, we’redefinitely food-motivated). 

  • If you're coming from the city, you'll need to make your own way to our branch. 

    A taxi costs approximately $50. Alternatively, you can catch bus. Catch either the Purple Line bus or the number 29 Airport bus, from Platform C of the Christchurch Bus Interchange (corner of Lichfield St and Colombo St) to the airport and then catch our airport shuttle to the branch.  

PICK-UP HOURS 

  • Although we’re open a bit later, we do ask that you reach us an hour before we close. That means by 3pm each day! 

  • After-Hours pick-up is unavailable until further notice. 

cruiser lifestyle

Awww, we have to say goodbye? Okay, let’s make it brief. Follow these steps: 

  • Drive to our branch at 157 Orchard Road, Mustang Park, Christchurch. We recommend timing your drop off with at least 45 minutes from the time you need to be at the airport. 

  • Remember to fuel up! If you forget, a quick backtrack to the BP on Russley Road, will sort you out. 

  • Next, grab your belongings out of your campervan. Experience tells us that, unless you’re super organised, you’llprobably find one sandal under a seat, your togs wrapped in one of our towels, and an important document in a seat back. We’d love it if you also cleared out your rubbish at the same time. 

  • Hand in your campervan keys to our friendly JUCY crew. 

  • Once the above steps are complete, jump on the next shuttle bus to the airport. We’ll try not to shed a tear as we wave goodbye. 

All the campervan rentals must be returned within office hours. After-hours service is not available at this location.

What to do on your campervan holiday in Christchurch and New Zealand's South Island?

Campervan hire from Christchurch Airport is the perfect start to any epic New Zealand road trip! Located about halfway down the South Island, and NZ's third largest city, Christchurch is an ideal base for adventurous travellers. Here are some must-see spots to add to your South Island itinerary: 

Christchurch City 

Christchurch Central, also known as the Garden City, is packed with awesome things to see and do. The city centre is buzzing with epic street art and many bars and eateries that give it a cool, vibrant vibe. Wander around Hagley Park and the beautiful Christchurch Botanic Gardens or hop on the Christchurch Gondola for stunning views of the Canterbury Plains. If you're into mountain biking, you're in luck—there are great trails nearby. 

After a busy day, set up camp at North South Holiday Park or Tasman Holiday Park Christchurch to rest up for the next day's adventure. Motorhome and campervan hire in Christchurch is super easy, with plenty of options to choose from. Plus, from Christchurch, you can easily drive to alpine landscapes where kea birds roam or wild coastlines full of seals. 

Waipara 

Next up, cruise through the Waipara Valley and check out one of New Zealand's top wine spots, famous for its awesome Pinot Noir and Riesling. Less than a 1-hour drive from Christchurch CBD, the scenery is absolutely stunning, and the vineyards are up there too! This part of the South Island has some of the best wineries around, making it a perfect combo of beautiful views and top-notch wines that will make your trip unforgettable. Besides wine tasting, there's plenty more to do in Waipara. Explore the scenic hiking and biking trails that wind through the rolling landscapes or visit the nearby Waipara Springs and take a relaxing dip, before hitting the road. 

Akaroa 

Looking for a cool and charming spot for your motorhome trip? Head over to the historic, French-inspired town of Akaroa! It’s the perfect place to park up and chill for a while. Hop in a kayak and paddle out to meet the adorable white-flippered penguins in their natural habitat. Wander through the quaint streets filled with unique shops and cosy cafes. Plus, there are awesome freedom camping spots to soak in the stunning views. When it comes to good, make sure to try the local salmon—it’sa must! Visit a salmon farm to see sustainable farming in action and taste some of the world's freshest, most delicious salmon (we might be a tiny bit biased!) 

Kaikoura 

Last but not least, get ready for some incredible wildlife action up in Kaikoura, just 2.5 hours north of Christchurch! Kaikoura is a uniquely New Zealand setting, with its rugged coastline and epic mountains making it the perfect backdrop for your wildlife adventure. Hop on a cruise or a kayak tour to get up close and personal with whales and dolphins in their own backyard, for an experience you won't forget. After all the excitement, be sure to explore the charming town and indulge in some delicious seafood—trust us, you won't want to miss the crayfish! 

The Wild West Coast and Beyond

Head across the Southern Alps to see some of the alpine wilderness New Zealand is famous for, and make a beeline for West Coast attractions such as the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Franz Josef glacier.  

One classic road trip to take from Christchurch is to drive to Queenstown, stopping off at celebrated scenic locations such as Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki and Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.  

With JUCY, you can travel one way and drop your campervan off at Queenstown Airport branch.

Get ready to hit the road for your campervan journey as you discover the epic adventures Christchurch has to offer!
