Star RV's New Zealand Cancellation Policy

Plans change but your road trip doesn’t have to.

Add our Flexible Booking Fee when you make your booking and enjoy extra peace of mind if your plans shift before travel. This option gives you more flexibility than our standard cancellation terms, so you can book ahead with confidence.

With the Flexible Booking Fee, you can:

  1. Cancel with no cancellation fee up to 7 days prior to pick-up

  2. Have one (1) booking amendment fee waived

The Flexible Booking Fee must be added at the time of Confirmed Booking, is non-refundable, and may be used once only. It does not apply within 7 days of pick-up or in the event of a no-show.

Because adventures should be flexible, not stressful.

What are Star RV's cancellation fees?
