Due to rapid population growth over the years, traffic in Auckland can be pretty bad, especially during peak hours. Typically, if you’re getting into the city, you’re better off avoiding the times between 6:30 am to 8:30 am and 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm if you’re leaving the city. This way, you can avoid the stress of being stuck in traffic and make the most of your time in Auckland.

Auckland, situated on the northernmost tip of New Zealand’s main island, enjoys a temperate climate that makes it a pleasant visit any time of year. The city experiences warm, mostly dry summers and mild, rainy winters. However, although Auckland’s weather is generally good, it’s always a good idea to check the forecast before you head out in your campervan. This way, you can plan your activities and make the most of your time in Auckland, no matter what the weather may be.

A satellite navigation system, or GPS, is a fantastic resource for anyone visiting an unknown area. With its clear and user-friendly guidelines, live traffic updates, and alternative routes, you’ll never have to worry about getting lost.

If you don’t have a GPS system, don’t worry – most new smartphones come with a mapping app. Google Maps is free on both iOS and Android devices, for example. Enter your trip’s starting point and destination into the app before beginning your drive in your campervan.
