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 over 5,000 owners already sharing their vans on Camplify, you can be sure that the nitty gritty like damage cover is included. Plus, it’s free to join Camplify and list your van. Whether you’re looking to free up some room on your driveway or delve into a new 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. Now a global community of van owners across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Spain, Camplify has facilitated the connection between owners and explorers and over 1.5 million nights under the stars. Camplify ensures that the ID and licences of hirers are checked and verified, 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. All bookings need to be approved before any steps are taken. Like a cherry on top of a cake, the people at the helm are there to help. If needed, support from the Camplify team in New Zealand is fantastic.

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 cover to owners who share their van on the platform. Whether it’s an accident or damage, they’ll ensure you’re covered for every booking. 24/7 rental breakdown cover is another perk. Big benefits, little worries. You can opt to use your own rental insurance, or go ahead and select Camplify’s flexible cover 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.
