About Alpha Campervans - New Zealand
Alpha Campervans is a division of United Vehicle Rentals
“excellent campervans, excellent people, an excellent holiday in our beautiful land”
Talk to the team at New Zealand's Alpha Campervans and you'll soon realise that its parent company, United Vehicle Rentals, is no ordinary rental company. It is very much a family business and in actual fact the only major New Zealand motorhome rental company still owned and operated by its original New Zealand family. Traditional family values apply to every aspect of the operation and our staff, partners and clients are all part of the United family. By focusing our pride on doing the best job we can for our customers, we know we are taking care of that family, and you can expect friendly, efficient customer service and a quality product every time you hire an Alpha campervan or motorhome.
Managing Director, Kay Howe, has over 30 years’ experience in New Zealand's travel industry and the motorhome and campervan rental business in particular, and she remains fully involved in the day to day running of the company. When you pick up your rental motorhome or campervan you'll find there isn’t a person working at United and Alpha Campervans who doesn’t share a passion for New Zealand and a commitment to the United philosophy of excellence.
Qualmark
 | Since its creation in 1991, the United brand has been synonymous with a standard of product and service that has earned us an enviable international reputation from travel industry partners and hirers alike. As part of the United Vehicle Rentals brand Alpha Campervans benefit from that same excellent standard of product and service. This reputation has been recognised by two industry ’firsts’. In April 2003, United Vehicle Rentals Ltd became the first motorhome company to receive New Zealand tourism’s official quality standard, ‘Qualmark’, and in October 2004 we became the first rental vehicle operator in the world to achieve the prestigious Green Globe/EarthCheck Benchmarked Certification standard. |
EarthCheck

| EarthCheck is based on Agenda 21 and principles for Sustainable Development endorsed by 182 Heads of State at the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992. It provides companies, communities and consumers with a path to sustainable development within the travel and tourism industry worldwide. Our commitment to the EarthCheck programme is ongoing, and since our world first in achieving Green Globe/EarthCheck Benchmarked status we have worked towards and in 2011 achieved prestigious Gold Certified level. We currently remain the only motorhome rental company in New Zealand to hold EarthCheck Gold Certification. |
Motuora Island Reforestation Project
We see it as our responsibility to minimise the impact our business and our vehicles have on the environment in New Zealand and globally,
and to encourage our clients likewise. To this end, since 2006 United has been involved in the Motuora Island Reforestation Project in Auckland’s beautiful Hauraki Gulf, by sponsoring the annual planting of 30,000 native trees on the island. Motuora Island serves not only as a sanctuary for endangered birds, reptiles and insects, but also as a nursery where Kiwi chicks can safely grow to maturity before being released back into their original habitat on the mainland. Through this support, and a number of other initiatives, we acknowledge our environmental responsibility and take a giant step towards offsetting the negative impact of emissions from our fleet of in excess of 600 vehicles.
As a hirer of an Alpha Campervan you will immediately contribute to a better environment - every motorhome hired means more trees are planted on Motuora Island.
Travel with the New Zealand rental motorhome operator that cares and you will soon discover that doing business with a company large enough to supply the superior quality of camper van or motor home you expect, yet small enough to deliver exceptional personal service and value, will make a real difference to planning the perfect holiday.
We invite you to book with Alpha Campervans and look forward to meeting you in New Zealand.
