Our staff are here to advise and offer assistance to backpackers explaining everything you need to know about the differences in buying and selling in New Zealand compared with your home country. At the Backpackers Car Market we aim for backpackers to find and purchase a cheap car that will service all your needs during your stay here.  We can help with this process from start to finish. We can arrange for legal checks, mechanical inspections, vehicle insurance, roadside assistance and change of ownership documents, as well as the best priced ferry tickets for backpackers to travel between the north and south islands in New Zealand. These documents can all be completed within minutes on our premises.

How it works

As a seller, you will be charged a fee to park the car in the market for 3 days. No commission will be taken by the car market on completion of the sale, so therefore this is the only expense you incur in order to sell your vehicle on to another backpacker.

Buyers can browse through the huge selections of cheap cars and campervans on offer here at the Backpackers Car Market and when they find something of interest, then our friendly, helpful staff can help them get the vehicle checked out and complete the buying process in a very fast, friendly and efficient way in a number of languages..

The buying process will include

1. Legal Check
2. Mechanical Check
3. Change of Ownership papers
4. Insurance
5. Roadside Assistance
6. Ferry tickets
