About picking up in Christchurch
Christchurch is the best pickup for South Island only trips. From here you can loop the South Island in 10–14 days, alps, glaciers, fjords, lakes. Compact, dramatic, unforgettable.
Christchurch is the main South Island pick-up and the cheapest place in our check to start a New Zealand campervan trip. A loop from here takes in Aoraki/Mt Cook, Wanaka, Queenstown, Milford Sound and the West Coast glaciers in 10 to 14 days.
For 14 nights from Christchurch and back (operator websites, checked 26 October 2026), the cheapest campervan was NZ$511 in June and NZ$725 in April (JUCY Cloudbreak), and NZ$2,706 in January. A 2-berth Mighty Deuce motorhome was NZ$1,762 in June and NZ$5,176 in January.
One way to Queenstown was NZ$950 in June and NZ$1,164 in April; Christchurch to Auckland was NZ$537 in June. Summer is the expensive, booked-out window, so lock in December and January early.
