Camper van rental operator Tourism Holdings says it has acquired 49% of UK-based Just Go, a motorhome rentals and sales business, with a view to importing some of the UK fleet to New Zealand.
Tourism Holdings chief executive Grant Webster says the company sees a good opportunity to bring some of the Just Go vehicles to New Zealand to extend the range available for sale locally.
Just Go had a “very flexible” business model and its fleet was typically only rented for 18 months before being sold, he says.
“Just Go has a similar model and return on capital as our successful Road Bear RV business in the USA,” says Webster.
According to BusinessDesk, Tourism Holdings says the price wasn’t material and wouldn’t be disclosed.
Founders of Just Go, Nick and Sarah Roach, would retain a controlling 51% and continue to manage the business, which operates 130 motorhomes at peak season.
Daniel Schneider, who was the founder and operator of Road Bear, will become a director of Just Go, says Webster.
