Why Choose JUCY Campervan and Motorhome Rentals
We know that there's more to picking a campervan than just price. There are sizes, features, styles, and bonus extras to take into consideration.
That's why we offer you six campervan models and three motorhome rentals from our Christchurch Airport branch. Whether you're on a budget or you're planning an adventure with the kids, we've used our experience (nearly 20years' worth), to create a campervan or motorhome to match.
Plus, we custom-fit our campervans and have spent nearly two decades perfecting what should go in them. That experience counts for a lot, you'll see.

OMG! You made it. Yay. Here’s what you need to know about picking up your JUCY campervan in Christchurch.
FREE SHUTTLE FROM CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT
If you’ve come from the airport, you’re welcome to ride with us on our free shuttle bus! Read the tab to the left to find out how.
GET TO KNOW YOUR RIDE
We’ll get the un-JUCY paperwork out the way ASAP as we’re not a stuffy company (does the green and purple campervan give that away?). After that, it’s the fun part where we show you around your new home for the next-however-many-days! A vehicle show-through is awesome for us too, as we love to reveal where we stored all the cool hidden extras.
If you’re feeling a bit nervous about driving on the other side of the road, we can help you out. Just talk to our friendly crew.
LOCAL TRAVEL ADVICE
Take advantage of our free travel advice, too. From holiday parks to top spots to visit. We get super excited sharing where to go in the area (and eat, we’redefinitely food-motivated).
If you're coming from the city, you'll need to make your own way to our branch.
A taxi costs approximately $50. Alternatively, you can catch a bus. Catch either the Purple Line bus or the number 29 Airport bus, from Platform C of the Christchurch Bus Interchange (corner of Lichfield St and Colombo St) to the airport and then catch our airport shuttle to the branch.
PICK-UP HOURS
Although we’re open a bit later, we do ask that you reach us an hour before we close. That means by 3pm each day!
After-Hours pick-up is unavailable until further notice.
Awww, we have to say goodbye? Okay, let’s make it brief. Follow these steps:
Drive to our branch at 157 Orchard Road, Mustang Park, Christchurch. We recommend timing your drop off with at least 45 minutes from the time you need to be at the airport.
Remember to fuel up! If you forget, a quick backtrack to the BP on Russley Road, will sort you out.
Next, grab your belongings out of your campervan. Experience tells us that, unless you’re super organised, you’llprobably find one sandal under a seat, your togs wrapped in one of our towels, and an important document in a seat back. We’d love it if you also cleared out your rubbish at the same time.
Hand in your campervan keys to our friendly JUCY crew.
Once the above steps are complete, jump on the next shuttle bus to the airport. We’ll try not to shed a tear as we wave goodbye.
All the campervan rentals must be returned within office hours. After-hours service is not available at this location.
