An Air BnB-style rental scheme for motor homes has grown by more than 120 per cent in the last year.
Mighway, a sharing scheme enabling owners to generate income when not using their vehicles, now has 600 listings in New Zealand. Owned by Tourism Holdings (thl), it has also launched in California.
thl chief executive Grant Webster said he was very happy with progress and he expected it to continue to grow.
Many owners are retirees, who have been paid more than $1million between them to date.
At one end of the spectrum Mighway income provides a way to cover costs relating to the vehicle (maintenance and so on) - at the other end, for some, renting out their vehicles via Mighway is a full-time job.
