KEA Company Profile:
In 1995, KEA Campers was launched as a boutique campervan rental company in Auckland. Today, KEA has grown to become a multi award-winning operator of a fleet of more than 1,200 luxury campervans, motorhomes and 4WD campers in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Namibia.
We’ve also become one of the most respected campervan companies in New Zealand and overseas, for our unswerving commitment to exemplary service, pioneering innovation and the best designed, most reliable and most luxurious rental campervans, motorhomes and 4WDs available today.
Our locations:
KEA currently operates from 14 purpose-built depots close to major international airports across New Zealand, Australia and Southern Africa and its fleet of campervans, motorhomes and 4WD campers is considered the newest, most comfortable and best appointed in the market.
Our vehicles:
KEA’s fleet comprises two, four and six berth campervans, motorhomes and 4WD campers (the latter in Australia and Southern Africa only) which have been purpose-designed and built by KEA for comfort, safety, security and reliability.
Our people:
Our highly competent, motivated staff – many of whom are multi-lingual – strive to ensure a relaxed and pleasant customer experience. KEA people are assisted by a purpose-designed online booking system, advanced computer technology and easy-to-navigate multilingual websites.
Our sustainability:
In addition to having the youngest fleet in the industry, KEA also has the most environmentally-friendly vehicles. Every vehicle features solar paneling, renewable materials, the most advanced emission control standards, best-practice waste management systems and the lowest fuel consumption rates of any campervan rental company across Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa.
In New Zealand, KEA is also Green Globe benchmarked as well as being the first campervan and motorhome company to have vehicles certified self-contained through the New Zealand Motorhome and Caravan Association (NZMCA). In addition, KEA has achieved Qualmark Enviro-Gold accreditation. In Australia, KEA is the only campervan rental company to have achieved the Leave No Trace certification of the Campervan Motorhome Club of Australia (CMCA).
Our innovation:
KEA’s approach to manufacturing is to constantly raise the bar on comfort and style. Through constant innovation, the use of lightweight yet highly durable materials and benchmarked manufacturing techniques, KEA vehicles offer the biggest beds, largest combined shower/toilet units and the most comprehensive list of features of any campervan rental company – including laptop-sized safes and central locking security doors.
Our awards:
In recent years KEA achieved a unique feat for a New Zealand tourism company, being judged the country’s top performing Tourism Business at the New Zealand Tourism Awards – earning the Supreme Award – for the second consecutive year. This was the first time in the NZTA’s 50-year history that a company was honoured with the Supreme Award two years in a row. KEA is also in the NZ Tourism Hall of Fame, having won the coveted Distinction Award.
Our operations:In addition to the rental businesses in Australia and New Zealand (and franchise in Southern Africa), we own two factories: KEA Manufacturing New Zealand and KEA Manufacturing Australia. Contributing to our ability to design and build the best campervans available for rental today, KEA also has shareholdings in fiberglass and coach building companies.
In 2006 KEA became the first New Zealand campervan manufacturer to export to Australia – sending complete motorhomes from the KEA Manufacturing plant in Auckland to KEA Australia.
Our management:
KEA’s directors in New Zealand and Australia are committed to ongoing investments in their various businesses to ensure that our companies remain at the forefront of innovation and excellence within the campervan rental industry. This also means our commitment to providing the best possible service to our wholesale and retail travel agents and their customers will remain our top priority.
