How to Live in Your Car in New Zealand
It seems like there are tons of articles out there about van dwelling or #vanlife, but what about living out of a car that’s not outfitted with a bed? Emmett and I did exactly that in New Zealand for a little over a month – two and a half weeks at the end of summer, and two and a half weeks in early Winter. Our trusty station wagon, Poot Poot, not only got us around but also helped us save on accommodation by a lot. Because we decided to sleep in the back of the wagon last winter, we were able to afford unforgettable expensive excursions like heli-hiking on a glacier and cruising Doubtful Sound
1. Download These Two Apps
There are a couple of apps that are INCREDIBLY helpful if you’re living out of your car and free camping in New Zealand. They will tell you not only where to park without getting fined but most importantly the nearest toilets and showers. Yes, exactly. Every car-dweller’s biggest concern. And if it’s not, it should be. Don’t be one of those bozos who poops in a bag and leaves it in the parking lot where you illegally spent the night. Or even worse, loose on a hiking trail nearby.
A. Campermate
Campermate (click link to download) is a really helpful GPS-based app that details everything from toilets & showers to free Wi-Fi access to drinking water sources to camping spots to grocery stores. I liked to use it to find showers & toilets or Wi-Fi nearby but it was not the best source for free camping sites. That honor belongs to…
B. WikiCamps NZ
WikiCamps was without a doubt, hands down the best source for finding free campsites nearby. It is also GPS-based and we used it a handful of times on both the North and South Islands to figure out where to spend the night without getting fined. Best of all, we usually were able to find free camp sites that also had toilets! Those are basically the holy grail of car camping in NZ. I cannot recommend this app more. One of it’s best features is user-submitted reviews and photos. Sometimes a free camp site is taken away at a moment’s notice, so it’s good to check recent reviews to find out if you can still stay there overnight.
2. Prepare to Really “Rough It.”
Here’s a fun anecdotal example of what I mean by “roughing it.” When Emmett and I first moved to Motueka, we lived in our car for two and a half weeks while job hunting. We spent our free time hanging out at the park near the Saltwater Baths. Not only was it a scenic seaside park but there were free toilet facilities, a big sink basin, and a free public shower. Yeah, that’s right: just one free public shower. You know when you go to the beach and there’s a shower to wash yourself off after swimming? That’s the way it was at the Saltwater Baths. It was out in the open, literally in sight of the parking lot. You turned it on by putting your foot down on a pedal, so the COLD water wasn’t even a continuous flow. (Although eventually, another like-minded cheapo like us found a big rock that you could roll onto the pedal when you needed to shower). So: to shower, I just stripped down to my underwear and showered in the sea breeze while locals walked their dogs past or other campers washed their dishes in the adjacent sink basin. It was pretty humbling to try and get fully clean out in public without exposing myself. Not only that, but I became a master at speed showering to avoid the slight embarrassment of it all.
This view was just around the corner from the public shower.
3. Stock Up on Supplies
These are some items that we had when living in our station wagon that made life WAY easier:
1. Sun visors.
These are great for three reasons: (1) keeping your car cool during the day, (2) privacy when you’re in there sleeping, and (3) keeping the car insulated during chilly nights. Put one in the front window and one in the back.
2. Curtains
Like the sun visors, curtains are great for regulating temperature but most importantly to me, for privacy from people outside. Taking a nap on a side street in the middle of the day? Close those curtains and you don’t have to worry about anyone seeing you drool! How to do curtains in a station wagon? We bought some old flannel fabric from a secondhand shop, cut holes in it along the top and strung it through camp cord which we attached from the visor in the front seat to the plastic seatbelt holder in the back… You might kind of see what I mean in a picture later in this post.
3. Window squeegee
Something that I learned pretty quickly about car sleeping: all of your breath collects in the car and causes condensation on the windows. If you wake up and want to drive somewhere ASAP (aka a public toilet), you first have to squeegee all that condensation off of at least the front windshield. Make sure you have a towel or something else on hand because you’re going to need to squeegee that water onto something other than your dashboard.
4. Food that’s easy to keep un-refrigerated
If you don’t have a portable gas stove (we did not), sandwiches will be your best friend. Eat up that peanut butter, or have some avocado, greens, & onion. You can have plenty of fruits and veggies while living in your car, just don’t keep them too long. When we were really desperate to fill up quick for dinner, we had room temp instant mashed potatoes using water and potato “flakes.” (I know, right? How gourmet can you get?) Carrots and hummus were our favorite go-to snack. Salsa and corn chips is great too. For breakfast, we bought individual boxes of shelf milk to go with our cereal. Another budget-friendly option for when you get tired of all that room-temp food: buy something from the prepared food warmer at Countdown or New World.
Car living dinner in Picton, NZ: bread + oil, & salted avocado. Not exactly healthy but definitely tasty.
5. A container for your mobile kitchen
You need to have containers for everything in your car or it WILL be like an explosion of junk every time you open it. A kitchen box is the number one thing to have. Reign in any camp mugs, plates, utensils, spices, and – of course – actual food. (If you didn’t come to NZ with any camp meal kits/utensil sets: go to a secondhand shop and buy one mug, bowl, plate, fork, knife & spoon to keep). Something we didn’t have but that you might want: a gas powered camp stove/cooker. Perfect for heating up a good old can of Wattie’s spaghetti.
6. A sleeping bag (or two) – one to sleep on top of for padding, one to sleep in.
At a minimum, this is what you need to feel comfortable. We did it with only one sleeping bag for a while and the back pain was too real.
Emmett looking startled in the back of the car first thing in the morning. Note our DIY curtains and the big purple sleeping bag.
7. Baby Wipes
Even with the help of Campermate, you never know when your next shower will be -especially if you’re in a new place every night. You’ll probably want to invest in a big pack of baby wipes just in case you have to go a while without showering. Gotta get clean(ish) somehow.
8. A lantern.
When it’s dark but you don’t want to sleep but you do want to stay away from sandflies – you retreat into your car with a book or a downloaded movie. For the book, or anything else you want to see, you are definitely going to need a lantern. Flashlights will do but it’s definitely easier to set up a light that’s hands-free. We have this awesome lantern from home but just a simple camp lantern should suffice. Don’t kill your car battery by using the overhead light built into the back seat, c’mon!
This little lantern made all the difference at night in the hatchback.
4. Be Ready to Move Your Stuff Around… All of the Time
Time to set up for the night? Ok, cool. Take your kitchen box and your backpacks and whatever else is rolling around back there… and put them in the front seat, artfully arranged to fit in without falling all over the place.
Time to get going to a new place in the morning? Open up your doors, squeegee all condensation, and then move all your junk back into the trunk/backseat all over again. You’ll get used to doing this all the time – rain or shine, broad daylight or at the mercy of a dim flashlight.
5. Get Creative with Your Laundry
If you’re a budget backpacker, you’re probably already familiar with the old “wash your clothes in the bathroom sink and hang them from your bunk” routine. However, you have to get creative when you live in a car. Yeah, you can probably find a sink at some public toilets. But when you’re parking somewhere new every night, where are you going to hang stuff to dry? Well. If you find a sunny park you can be as super not-classy as we were and hang some of your clothes in the branches of a nearby tree for a few hours. Or if it’s raining out, use some camp cord to hang it up in your car (or hang it from your curtain string which was camp cord for us). When it’s winter, you can just shower as infrequently as possible and thus have less laundry by wearing the same outfit every day. Whatever works for you, nasty budget traveler. And I mean that with love because I myself am a nasty budget traveler from time to time.
Gotta dry those undies somehow.
6. Know that Cold Nights are Inevitable
New Zealand weather is alllllll over the place. Super hot days with straight up chilly nights are not unheard of throughout the South Island. And when you’re at higher altitudes? It’s going to be cold at night without a doubt. The best way to keep yourself from being miserably cold while sleeping is to essentially build yourself a clothes/blanket/sleeping bag nest. Here’s how:
+ I was not kidding about that sleeping bag. I recommend having both a sleeping bag and a liner. If you do sleep somewhere warm, the liner will be enough. If you sleep somewhere cold, the liner inside the sleeping bag will be perfect.
+ Stuff your jackets/sweaters/clothes/backpack down around the gaps in the back doors. Cold air will come in through the gaps. On some really windy nights last winter in NZ, we could feel that wind coming in.
+ Buy an old wool blanket from a thrift shop to sleep on. The trunk of a hatchback in particular is not well insulated or comfortable. Add a big thick wool blanket or two and sleep on top of it for a more comfortable night’s rest.
+ Wear your thermals/long underwear to sleep in. If it’s really really cold, wear a knit hat too.
It was hella cold and windy at our free camp site outside of Cromwell, NZ. Note those snowy peaks in the background.
7. Make Sure You’re Not Parking Somewhere Illegal
Use Wikicamps for more information, or ask any locals/campers nearby if the place is ok to sleep at overnight. Never ever tempt fate by parking somewhere that already has a “no overnight parking” sign nearby. That’s really just asking to be fined $200. Make sure you check before you spend the night – sometimes these signs aren’t always in a very visible place.
Don’t do it!!!

8. But If You Are Going to Camp Illegally…
….Use discretion and be respectful. Again, don’t poop on the loose or leave garbage everywhere. Pick up after yourself and keep a low profile. Park somewhere after dark and leave before sunrise, it’s one of the only ways to avoid notice. Even then, it’s not foolproof. Just remember that you can be fined $200 NZD for your illegal parking.
Alrighty then, I hope you leave this article feeling a little more prepared for all of the dirty down-lows on camping out of your car in New Zealand. Would you ever try it?
Also as always, feel free to leave any questions or comments you might have in the comments below. I’ll do my best to get back to you ASAP.
I hope that you enjoy car camping as much as we did!

Key Takeaways
- Booking early can secure more significant savings and options for your Galápagos cruise.
- Understanding the seasons and timing can lead to further discounts.
- Choosing package deals can simplify your planning while reducing costs.
- Traveling in groups or during off-peak times offers additional savings opportunities.
Introduction
With its stunning landscapes, unparalleled wildlife encounters, and the promise of adventure, the Galápagos Islands are a dream destination for many travelers. However, such a unique experience often comes with a premium price tag. For those planning to explore the Galápagos in 2025, getting the best bang for your buck is more than possible—it’s probable with some thoughtful planning. This guide delves into securing top cruise deals, saving you money while ensuring you don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Booking Early: The Key to Big Savings
One of the most effective strategies for saving on a Galápagos cruise is to book your trip well in advance. With the rising popularity of the islands as a must-see destination, there’s no better time than the present to start planning. By securing your place early, you ensure a wider choice of itineraries and cabin types and capitalize on early bird discounts that can significantly cut costs. Moreover, many cruise lines offer favorable cancellation policies when booked in advance, giving you peace of mind and financial flexibility. Seeking out Galapagos cruise deals early is the ideal first step in crafting your adventure.
Seasonal Considerations: Timing is Everything
The timing of your trip can have a significant impact on the cost of a Galápagos cruise. The islands have two main seasons: the wet season (December to May) and the dry season (June to November). While wildlife viewing is excellent year-round, prices and availability can vary. The wet season tends to have warmer weather and calmer seas, often resulting in higher demand and prices. Conversely, the dry season offers more affordable options as the waters become choppier and temperatures cooler, yet the wildlife still buzzes with activity. Flexibility with your travel dates within these windows can lead to substantial savings.
Embrace the Package Deal
Travel packages can streamline your planning process while offering great value. Many operators offer packages that combine cruises with accommodations, flights, and guided tours, bundling all necessary arrangements into one convenient deal. Not only do these packages simplify your travel itinerary, but they also often come with extra perks such as complimentary excursions and onboard credits. When reviewing your options, consult with travel agents specializing in the Galápagos to uncover the best package deals tailored to your interests.
Group Rates and Family Discounts
Exploring the Galápagos with a group or family can lead to additional savings. Many cruise operators provide group discounts or incentives for booking multiple cabins. These savings increase with the size of the group, making it an ideal option for families or groups of friends planning to embark on an adventure together. Additionally, some cruises offer family-friendly features, including educational programs and child discounts. Gathering a group to share this unforgettable experience enhances the journey and diminishes individual costs.
Exploring Off-Peak Opportunities
If your schedule permits, consider traveling during off-peak times to enjoy lower prices and a quieter experience. Peak times in the Galápagos often align with school holidays and festive seasons, creating spikes in demand. However, choosing to travel during shoulder months, when the islands are less crowded, can result in significant discount opportunities. The benefits extend beyond finances; touring the islands without large crowds can lead to more intimate wildlife encounters and a peaceful environment.
Keeping an Eye on Promotions and Offers
Regularly checking for promotions and offers is a proven approach to snagging a good deal. Many operators release special promotions annually, accommodating various interests and budgets. Seasons and market demand shape these offers, so staying informed guarantees you won’t miss out. Sign up for newsletters from cruise providers, monitor travel deal websites, and consider setting up online alerts for real-time updates on offers and discounts. A bit of diligence can yield impressive savings.
Maximizing Loyalty Programs and Memberships
Loyalty programs and memberships offer another avenue for reducing travel costs. Cruise lines and travel companies often have reward programs that accumulate points or miles, which can be redeemed for discounts on future trips. For frequent travelers, joining such programs can lead to significant savings over time. Additionally, membership with AAA or AARP sometimes comes with travel-related benefits, including discounted cruises or travel insurance rates. Don’t overlook these potential avenues for added value.
Unexpected Costs: Be Prepared
While the focus is on savings, being prepared for potential unexpected costs ensures your budget remains on track. Consider factors like travel insurance, tipping, port fees, and additional excursions, which can add up. By anticipating these extra costs in advance, you can manage your budget more effectively and enjoy your Galápagos adventure with peace of mind. Ensure a comprehensive checklist of essentials to avoid any last-minute surprises.
Conclusion
A cruise through the Galápagos Islands promises unmatched beauty and adventure, capturing the imagination of all who visit. With some foresight and research, accessing top cruise deals for your 2025 journey doesn’t have to be challenging. By booking early, taking advantage of package deals, remaining flexible with travel dates, and keeping an eye on promotions, your dream trip can become a reality without breaking the bank. As travelers honorably explore these extraordinary islands, applying these strategies can lead to an affordable yet unforgettable experience filled with rich discoveries and lasting memories.

Introduction
The aviation industry stands on the cusp of a significant transformation, fueled by a rising demand for on-demand private jet flights. In this dynamic era where convenience reigns supreme, these flights have risen above the exclusive realm of luxury to become a pragmatic choice for travelers seeking efficiency and tailor-made experiences. As the quest for travel flexibility and personalization intensifies, private jets present an astute alternative for business executives and leisure explorers. This article delves into the burgeoning trend of on-demand private jet travel, uncovering the factors propelling its growth and its substantial advantages to today’s discerning travelers.
The New Norm: Flexibility and Convenience
As the world accelerates, the demand for flexibility and convenience has reached unprecedented heights. On-demand private jet flights offer unparalleled customization, allowing travelers to sidestep the traditional inconvenience of commercial flights. This includes bypassing lengthy security checks and crowded terminals and crafting a personalized travel itinerary. From selecting departure times and convenient airports to choosing companions for the journey, these flights are designed to cater precisely to individual needs. Consequently, this level of control and personalization makes on-demand private jet travel an attractive choice and reflects modern consumer expectations for seamless, efficient experiences.
Technological Advancements in Private Aviation
Rapid advancements in technology significantly bolster the surge in on-demand private jet services. The experience of booking a private jet today has been revolutionized by cutting-edge platforms and apps, simplifying the process to a few clicks—akin to ordering a ride-share service. These platforms leverage sophisticated algorithms to match passengers with the most optimal flights, streamline routes, and ensure cost-effective solutions. Furthermore, technological strides in aircraft design, including aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, and materials enhancements, foster sustainability and operational efficiency in the private aviation sector. As technology progresses, it enhances the logistics of private jet travel and amplifies its appeal and accessibility.
Cost-Effectiveness: A New Perspective on Private Jet Travel
The perception of private jet travel as an unparalleled luxury is gradually redefined by on-demand services offering transparent and competitive pricing models. Initiatives such as fractional ownership, jet cards, and flexible membership programs enable passengers to pay solely for the time they utilize, transforming the economics of private flying. Additionally, the introduction of empty-leg flights—return flights flown without passengers—presents an opportunity for significant discounts. By adopting these innovative pricing strategies, the private jet travel landscape is evolving from a niche luxury to a viable option for a broader audience, democratizing access to exclusive travel experiences.
Environmental Considerations and Efficiencies
Amid an increasingly eco-conscious world, the private jet industry is adapting to align with sustainability goals. Modern aircraft are being developed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. The emergence of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and the exploration of electric propulsion systems are significant milestones for greener private aviation. Investments in research and development demonstrate the private aviation sector’s commitment to minimizing environmental impact and advancing towards a more sustainable future, showcasing an industry-wide shift towards eco-friendly practices while maintaining efficiency and performance standards.
Diverse Fleet and Tailored Services
A significant factor in the rise of private jet travel is the diverse range of aircraft and bespoke services available on-demand platforms. Today’s travelers can choose from an extensive fleet, ranging from light jets perfect for short urban commutes to large cabin aircraft ideal for intercontinental travel. This variety ensures that travel needs are precisely met on a business trip, family vacation, or celebratory occasion. Additionally, private jet services often include personalized amenities such as gourmet catering, concierge transport, and in-flight entertainment, creating a luxurious journey from start to finish. This emphasis on customization and choice underscores private jet travel’s attractiveness in meeting contemporary travel’s diverse demands.
Security and Privacy: An Added Benefit
The security and privacy associated with private jet travel provide significant peace of mind for passengers. Individuals can sidestep the chaos of busy airports and crowded flights by choosing this travel mode, enjoying a more controlled and exclusive environment. Private jets offer a sanctuary of privacy and confidentiality for high-profile travelers, business leaders, or anyone who values discretion during transit. Additionally, security procedures are often expedited, enhancing the overall travel experience and adding an extra layer of appeal to private jet services.
Shaping the Future of Travel
On-demand private jet flights are not just a trend but are actively shaping the future landscape of air travel. By marrying the flexibility and convenience sought by today’s travelers, the private aviation sector is delivering solutions that resonate with contemporary travel demands. The combination of technological integration, environmental awareness, and service customization sets the stage for sustainable growth in this sector. Visionary advancements will continue expanding the possibilities within private aviation, ensuring that it remains a pivotal component in modern travel solutions’ evolving mosaic.
Conclusion
In summary, the rise of on-demand private jet flights is a testament to modern travelers’ evolving expectations and requirements. By illuminating a path toward more personalized, efficient, and technology-enhanced air travel experiences, the private aviation sector is poised to redefine the future of air travel. As private jet services become increasingly inclusive, accessible, and sustainable, they offer a compelling invitation to fly more brilliantly, with fewer constraints and greater freedom. This evolution signifies a reactive response to today’s travel demands and a visionary projection of the potential for travel in harmony with luxury and necessity.
