Hi all, I am Tim Alpe, CEO of Jucy Rentals, a leading New Zealand car rental and camper van hire company.

I am passionate about the travel industry as New Zealand abounds in natural beauty and is a receipient of Mother Nature's special attention.

I am no stranger to the tourism industry as my father, Chris Alpe started Transport Holdings Limited (THL) which is now the largest operator in the Australasia region. It is the flagship for Maui campervans. Chris later sold the THL business. With an initimate knowledge of the tourism industry, my brother Dan and I together started Jucy Rentals in 2001.

In fact, I developed a plan for Jucy Rentals while on my overseas experience. I returned to New Zealand to set it up, initially concentrating on renting cars to backpackers. However, Jucy’s strongest growth is now coming from independent, price-sensitive travellers and the small business market. In its fourth year of operation Jucy shifted its focus to include the second-tier campervan market or in more user friendly terms, decently new campervan hire at very affordable prices.

I am actively involved in the expansion of Jucy Rentals and thereby add my company's might to the development of the New Zealand tourism industry as a whole.

I am happily married to Amy and am the proud father of an 18 month old daughter and a just born son.
