"This is great news for UK travellers to New Zealand," said Brits Touring New Zealand director, Mike Ballantyne. This may seem like a small issue, but it is very important to UK travellers who are concerned about the impact of exchange rates on their holiday. For example, if a British family books a New Zealand holiday in April for travel around Christmas, most New Zealand campervan companies will collect the payment only in New Zealand dollars just prior to, or on arrival. By then the currency rate may have changed significantly. They may get more for their money, or they may get less. We realise that most people have a fixed budget and don't want to gamble on the exchange rates, which is why we give them the option of locking in a price in British Pounds, at the exchange rate relevant at the time of booking."
www.britstouringnewzealand.co.nz features what is probably New Zealand's largest range of campervans to rent.
I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
