Got a fantastic motorhome, caravan or camper that has some gaps in its adventure calendar? Renting it out on Camplify could be a game-changer. There are plenty of drawcards to listing and renting your van and sharing the joy of camper travel. Camplify has all the systems in place to make this an easy and completely comfortable venture. With a large community of Kiwi owners already sharing their vans, you can be sure that the nitty gritty like damage cover is sorted before your van leaves the driveway. Plus, it’s free to join Camplify and list your van. If you want to free up some room on your driveway or turn an idle van into a small business, Camplify can be your new favourite thing.
1. Tried and tested
Camplify is an established business and brand that began in Newcastle, Australia in 2015. A decade on, it is a global community of van owners across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Spain, and those owners have sent a great many explorers off for nights under the stars. Camplify checks and verifies the ID and licences of hirers, and you as the owner still have complete control over your bookings. Not convinced that the route the potential hirer is planning will suit your van? No worries. Every booking waits on your approval before a hirer can pay their deposit, unless you turn on Instant Book and let approvals happen automatically. Like a cherry on top of a cake, the people at the helm are there to help. If needed, the Camplify support team will walk you through it.
2. Earn some extra cash
Imagine earning an income from your camper! It’s not uncommon to own a motorhome, camper or caravan and only use it a few times a year. Renting it out on Camplify can help to cover costs and even make a pretty penny on top.

3. Damage cover is included
Damage cover are words that every van owner considering hiring out their van wants to hear. Camplify offers damage protection to owners who share their van, through MyWay Protect from the member-owned MyWay Mutual. It is protection, and it covers damage that happens while your van is out on hire, on the terms set out in the product disclosure statement. Roadside assistance around the clock comes with every booking as well. Big benefits, little worries. You can bring your own comprehensive policy that covers rentals, or take MyWay Protect when you set up your van listing.
4. Systems are a go
Camplify has an owners app that’s loaded with checklists and other useful tools to help you manage your bookings. Upon pick-up, owners can do a sweep of their camper and using the checklist, note down any existing imperfections. The same system applies with a checklist for when your camper is returned. If you notice some accidental damage to your camper upon its return, you’ll be prompted to provide some details on the damage on your post-hire checklist. It’s a smooth process from booking to payment and return. There’s even an earnings calculator so you can estimate the returns you’ll see if you list your camper on Camplify.
5. Make connections
You know how good campervan or caravan travel in New Zealand is. How great would it be to share that joy with other keen travellers?! A definite perk of renting your camper out with Camplify is the shared stories, recommendations and connections. Owners communicate directly with the customer to arrange pick-ups and drop-offs. This allows for the chance to help the soon-to-be adventurers plan their itineraries and share some tips and tricks. Come drop-off, customers return with tales of their journey making for some fantastic moments between like-minded people.
