A bit about us

We’re Gemma and Andy — adventurers at heart, proudly based in Whangaparaoa, Auckland, and currently surviving (and loving) life with five energetic boys. With over 50 years of combined experience in the travel industry, we know what makes a road trip truly unforgettable.

Our love for vanlife began as a way for Gemma to grab some much-needed time out from the beautiful chaos of family life. What started as a breather quickly became a passion — and Clever Campervans was born from that desire to help others find freedom, calm, and connection on the road.

Today, we offer cozy, well-equipped vans that make vanlife simple, affordable, and full of heart. Whether you’re chasing golden beaches or forest hideaways, we’ve got you covered. And if there’s something you need, just ask — we’re always happy to help make your trip extra special.

Take a peek at our reviews to see how much we care about every journey. We can’t wait to be part of yours.

Vitamin Sea was a gem! We took her out for 3 months and she felt like home from the first second. Yes, she is slow when going uphill, but it gives you more time to enjoy the amazing country. She has a lot of clever features, like magnetic hooks, to make your life easier. Small enough to fit in regular parking spots, but spacious enough to get through a rainy

We had an amazing time travelling the North and South Island in Vitamin Sea.
Gemma was really easy to communicate with and gave us a clear explanation of how to use it. We would definitely book again!

Gemma was simply the best! Great communication, honest, and fair throughout the whole experience! We loved our time exploring the North Island with Luna. The camp stove/kitchen set up was so much fun. Despite being an old van, Luna ran fabulously! No warning lights or mechanical woes. Luna is the girl for adventure!

We had a great time traveling with Olive! She's a small van, but comfortable enough for two people that don't mind sleeping very close. Included lots of amenities that made the trip fun! Gemma was great with communication and very helpful. Great experience and we'd definitely rent from Gemma again next time

My partner and I had the most amazing 2 weeks with Luna.

Gemma made it so easy and was always quick to answer and queries we had.

The information provided in the handover was perfect, the van was fully equipped, spotless and a great drive.

We would 100% recommend!

MaggieB is the perfect van for someone that has little to no experience with vans, as driving is extremely similar to that of a large car, rather than a clunky van. Packed with everything you need for your adventure, it's a fantastic choice for your NZ trip. 5/5 all round!
