Bicycles for Hire

To help make your motorhome holiday even more exciting, United Campervans has bicycle racks and modern bicycles that you can hire at a reasonable rental. Racks can be fitted to any model vehicle in our fleet, and are available in conjunction with hires from either depot, Auckland or Christchurch, including one way hires.

You should note the following information:

• Bicycles are all general purpose models suitable for both road use and moderate off road conditions.  Pure mountain bikes are not available. 
• Similar children's models are available on request.
• Child seats are available and can be fitted on request.
• A maximum of three bicycles can be carried on the bicycle rack provided on the 6 and 4 berth motorhomes. On all 2 and 3 berth models, the maximum is two bicycles.
• A helmet (compulsory in New Zealand), cycle lock and repair kit are supplied with each bicycle.
• All bicycles are insured by United Vehicle Rentals, however an Excess of NZ$100 per bicycle and/or bicycle rack will apply to cover loss or damage.
• Costs for normal on-road maintenance will be at United Vehicle Rentals’ expense. However, any replacements or repairs required due to the fault of the hirer up to the value of NZ$100 per bicycle and/or bicycle rack will be met by the hirer.
• Bicycle hire should be completed at the same as you request the vehicle hire to avoid disappointment due to non availability on pick up

Specialised Bicycles and Equipment can be accommodated through our arrangement with specialist bicycle rental company, Natural High Limited, which offers mountain bikes, road and touring bikes and other touring accessories.
