At Spaceships, we understand that you might wonder about the age or mileage of our vehicles. While we can’t specify the exact age or mileage of each campervan, since we maintain a large and diverse fleet, we want to assure you that age and mileage are far less important than how a vehicle is maintained. Our fleet is serviced and cared for to the highest standards, so you can focus on enjoying your adventure without worry.
Why Age Doesn’t Matter with Toyota, a Reliable Workhorse
A well-maintained Toyota is built to last and so is your adventure. We’ve been running self-drive businesses for over 25 years, and our experience has shown that Toyota vehicles are the most reliable and well-supported for travel in New Zealand. That’s why the majority of our fleet is dominated by Toyotas, known for their durability and the ready availability of parts. This choice, combined with our proactive and preventative maintenance program, ensures minimal on-road issues and maximum reliability for your journey.
Toyota has earned its reputation as the workhorse of the road, especially in the demanding conditions of Australia and New Zealand. With decades of proven performance, Toyota vehicles are designed to handle the long distances and varied terrain you’ll encounter on your journey.
Real Adventures, Real Reliability
Take it from our customers, like this family who explored New Zealand:
We traveled 3,700 km across New Zealand with our Spaceships campervan - from Auckland to Christchurch - without a single issue. It was the perfect way to experience the country with my son, and the van handled every kilometer like a champ!

Our Preventative Maintenance Program
We don’t just wait for problems to arise - we prevent them. Our in-house team of mechanics performs regular servicing every 15,000 km, adhering to New Zealand’s highest standards. Our maintenance goes beyond routine checks:
Engines receive ongoing preventative care, including new alternators, radiators, cooling system upgrades, transmission servicing and new batteries. If needed, we rebuild engines to extend their life and performance.
We invest significantly in fleet maintenance each year, with a culture focused on being proactive and preventative. This means we address potential issues before they become problems, so you can travel with confidence.
Refurbishment for Comfort and Quality
Every winter, we rotate vehicles through a comprehensive refurbishment program. This includes:
Full refurbishment of bed boxes, deep cleaning, and new mattresses for a fresh and comfortable sleep.
Dry cleaning or replacing curtains, and deep cleaning carpets to keep interiors looking and feeling like new.
Regular quality control checks to replace any worn items, from cutlery to cookers, ensuring everything in your campervan is in top condition.
Award-Winning Reliability and Support
Our commitment to excellence has been recognised with the Adventure Travel Award for ‘Best Transport – Australia and New Zealand’ in both 2024 and 2025. This award highlights our dedication to operational excellence, customer experience, safety, and sustainability. Judged by both industry experts (70%) and customer feedback (30%), it’s a testament to our reliable vehicles and outstanding on-ground support.
24/7 Roadside Assistance
Even with the best preparation, unexpected issues can arise. That’s why every Spaceships campervan comes with 24-hour roadside assistance. If something does happen, we’re just a call away, ready to get you back on the road quickly and safely.
