You will be provided with a free shuttle service from the airport to the Auckland branch location from some motorhome suppliers. Details on how to get the free shuttle will be provided to you when you book.
The team at the depot will then take you through the vehicles features and make sure you have all the information you need to have an enjoyable trip. Note that this can sometimes take up to 45 minutes, so allow extra time when collecting your vehicle.
