Gearshop Hire: No Gear? No Problem. Your Ticket to Hassle-Free Adventure

New Zealand’s great outdoors just got a whole lot easier to explore.

Gearshop has unleashed Gearshop Hire—a nationwide outdoor equipment rental service designed to strip away the cost, hassle, and logistics of getting your hands on quality adventure gear. Whether you’re an international traveller, a weekend warrior, or a school group looking to kit out an entire expedition, Gearshop Hire has your back.

Forget the stress of buying, storing, or lugging gear halfway across the world. With an easy online booking system at www.gearshophire.co.nz, adventurers can rent top-tier tramping, camping, and safety equipment—including Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs)—and have it shipped anywhere in New Zealand (yes, everywhere except the Chathams).

Who’s it for?

• Travellers keen to hike Fiordland or kayak Abel Tasman without stuffing a tent into their carry-on.
• Schools & youth groups that need reliable, cost-effective gear for outdoor education trips.
• Weekend warriors who want high-performance equipment for occasional missions—without maxing out their credit card.

“Cost and access to quality gear shouldn’t be a roadblock to getting out there,” says Hamish Pirie, founder of Gearshop NZ. “That’s why we created Gearshop Hire—to make top-quality equipment available to anyone, anywhere in the country, when they need it.”

Whether you’re heading off on a multi-day backcountry trek, tackling a Great Walk, or setting up camp under a starlit sky, Gearshop Hire lets you gear up, get out there, and hand it back when you’re done. No waste, no storage drama—just adventure, made easy.
