Who Hires the VW Crafter in Hamilton

Sports Teams

A 12 seater is the right size for most sports teams. Rugby, football, cricket, basketball and rowing clubs across Hamilton use the VW Crafter for travel to games and tournaments around the Waikato and beyond. It keeps the team together, reduces fuel costs compared to multiple cars and is straightforward to drive on both motorway and back roads.

Corporate Groups

Hamilton businesses use the Crafter for team days, off-site meetings, conference travel to Auckland and client visits. It is cleaner and more professional than a convoy of personal cars and makes coordinating travel a lot simpler for event organisers.

School and Community Groups

School trips from Hamilton to Waitomo, Rotorua and Auckland regularly use the 12 seater. It fits a class group well and is easy to book for teachers and school administrators. Community groups, church organisations and volunteer teams also use it regularly for events around the Waikato.

Family Groups and Reunions

Extended family groups for reunions, funerals, weddings and birthdays find the 12 seater a practical choice. Everyone travels together, no one gets left behind and parking one vehicle is far easier than managing several.

Tourism and Day Trips

Groups visiting Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, Raglan, Rotorua and other Waikato and Bay of Plenty destinations regularly hire the Crafter for the day. It is comfortable for drives of one to two hours and has enough luggage space for a day trip.

VW Crafter vs Ford Transit 18 Seater

If your group is 12 or under, the VW Crafter is the right choice. It is slightly easier to drive in city areas and easier to park than the 18 seater. For groups of 13 or more, our Ford Transit 18 seater is the better option. Both vehicles are available for half day, full day and multi-day hire.
