We love New Zealand at Backpacker, and we’re committed to keeping our pristine environment as clean and green as possible for you, and more importantly, for the future.
To reduce your environmental impact whilst travelling in a non self contained campervan (no toilet, shower or grey water storage) please stay in designated areas that provide toilet facilities. Also, when travelling in a self contained motorhome/campervan please dispose of the grey water at a designated dump station.

Love NZ, Recycle With Care
We’re part of the “Love NZ Recycle with Care” programme, and have installed recycling bins at our Auckland and Christchurch Airport branches. While you’re here, help us keep New Zealand beautiful by recycling your waste as diligently as possible. Look out for the logo while on the road.

Cleaner and Greener
At Backpacker, we want to take the lead on minimising our environmental footprint.
We’re determined to ensuring our business has the smallest possible environmental impact. Hence, we are leading the way in reducing emissions from our campers.
Our fleet are independently tested for vehicle emissions.
We’re committed to testing our vehicles annually and ensuring they make the grade with our first class mechanical servicing.
