OUR STORY
2015
New Zealand is built on independent small businesses, and we’re proud to be one of them.
EPIC Campers was founded by Andy, a tech entrepreneur from Devon UK, with a long-standing love of campervans, and Cindy, an Aucklander with a travel addiction. After swapping the London grind for life in Aotearoa back in 2015, we bought a campervan to explore our new home before settling into work.
2018
A few Airbnb style rentals turned into a side hustle, then into a full-time obsession when Andy’s role wrapped up in 2018.
EPIC was born out of a simple frustration: Big campervan companies charging big prices for oversized motorhomes, without the service to match. We built EPIC to prove there’s a better way. Smarter campervans, fairer prices, and a team that truly cares.
In our first full season we ran 10 of our Original campers out of a single carport (pic below), parking them on the street in between hires!
2018-2025
EPIC Campers has grown up into a fully-fledged team of eight (and counting), with depots in Auckland and Christchurch.
We’ve built the business around three key points of difference:
Quality, innovative 2-person campervans; our vans are thoughtfully designed for two people. Stylish, comfortable, and packed with clever features and small touches that make vanlife effortless.
Everything we do, we do ourselves; From designing and building our vans, handling bookings, cleaning, maintenance and on road support. It’s all managed in house by our capable team, which means consistent quality, faster help when you need it and a more personal experience.
Customer experience is everything; we’re a high-performing values-led team who are passionate about delivering exceptional service. Our 5.0 star Google rating (from almost 300 reviews) reflects the pride we take in every traveller’s experience.
At the heart of EPIC is a simple mission - to help travellers experience the freedom and beauty of New Zealand in the best way possible.
For us, this has never been just about campervans, it’s about helping people create life-enriching experiences they’ll talk about for years. Every van, every adventure and every smile at drop off, reminds us why we started EPIC in the first place.
