New Certified Self Containment Process

With the changes to the Self-Contained Motor Vehicles Legislation Act 2023 now in place and the issues around venting cassette requirements now resolved. Deluxe can confirm we are now processing customer self containments as a commercial partner of the NZMCA who are a certification authority.
Please note that the existing blue self NZS5465 containment warrants issued before 7th June 2024 are valid for freedom camping until they expire or the 7th June 2025 whichever comes first. So no immediate rush to replace your warrant if it meets the above timeframes.

Going forward you can choose from either a green government warrant card or an NZMCA yellow warrant card. There is no requirement for a sticker on the back of the vehicles as with NZS5465. The warrant card must be displayed in the front windscreen or passenger side window so that it can be seen from the outside at any time.

Green Warrant
The government issue green warrant card is the Freedom Camping standard requirement, if you currently freedom camp or plan to do so at any stage we suggest this warrant type. They last for a total of four years before renewal is required. On new purchases if you request this warrant type we complete the self containment paperwork and submit to the NZMCA. They will then process and request the $120 government levy fee from you directly. Once this is paid your vehicle will be entered on the register and your warrant posted out to you.


Yellow Warrant
The yellow warrant is an NZMCA issued warrant suitable for those that never intend on freedom camping. They last for a total of ten years before renewal is required. On new purchases if you request this warrant type we complete the self containment paperwork and submit to the NZMCA. There is no fee for this warrant type so once the paperwork is complete your warrant will be posted out to you.
