The Cruzy Campers experience has been perfect from the first email contact.
They are very reactive, always attentive and striving to make our trip perfect. and it was!
They even wrote us to warn us of a strong storm (and thank goodness, because we did not know it and thanks to them we were able to change the route in time).
We had a little problem the first day, and they solved it right away. There was only one thing to move from the car but we don't know anything about mechanics or cars, so they explained it to us very easily.
Before the trip we had a lot of problems with the dates of our trip and they were always understandable and flexible, adapting to us.
The van was very comfortable and well thought out.
It has been a great experience.

Excellent service; very friendly, prompt, personalised and attentive.
Very quick and efficient response when we experienced difficulties; washing of curtains, polish of fridge front (ie titivating) would have improved initial impression; suggest adding a folding stool to equipment to aid passenger entry to rear of vehicle

Loved dealing with Kylie and Dan.
We were unsure of what to expect from a smaller privately owned operation, but it was definitely the right choice. The van was clean, and really well-equipped with everything we needed, including sheets, & towels, camp chairs etc and nothing was an "extra". It ran perfectly, and gave no issues whatsoever. We had a great time (pay attention to the weather forecasts) and these vans are just the right size for NZ roads. Thanks so much Kylie & Dan, for a great holiday.

I hired a year 2000 Toyota Hiace petrol manual campervan from Cruzy Campers to travel around parts of the South Island from the 28th December 2019 to 10th January 2020.
The hire cost was NZD$1,960 and the cost of the 351 litres of unleaded petrol I used to travel 3,020km was NZD$761.23. This gave the Hiace an 11.65 litres/100km efficiency. The cost of 91 unleaded petrol ranged from NZD$2.02/l (Christchurch) to NZD$2.459 (in Queenstown!) with an average cost of NZD$2.17/l.
Daniel was great - he delivered the van to my Airbnb in the morning, explained where everything in the van was and how everything worked. The interior of the van isn't the flashest but is still in good condition. Daniel had fitted new tyres for my trip and the motor didn't miss a beat especially when traversing some of the passes east to west and vice versa. There were four issues that I let Daniel know about when I returned the van (once again, Daniel was very punctual for the pick up and drop off at the airport) - (1) the driver's door didn't always latch properly and the red alert light on the dash would subsequently sometimes flash (2) there was a terrible smell coming from under the sink whenever I opened the cupboard door - I used some air freshener to mask the smell throughout my trip (3) there was only one night of rain during my trip (in Wanaka), and at 3am I was woken with water splashing on my face and pillow (probably no more than a cupfull) - the airvent above the bed was definitely securely closed and I couldn't determine how this water actually leaked through the vent (4) the fridge door seal had an air gap at the very top - fortunately, this didn't seem to affect the fridge performance, probably just meant it ran a lot longer than it needed to! The van had a complete inventory of bedding, cooking appliances and utensils and true to Daniel's word, there were no hidden extras to pay at the end of the trip.

We rented the van in total for five weeks and it did a great job!
We had the best time in New Zealand and our campervan definitely contributed to that a great deal (SNOOGS). The van was reasonably old but in a good condition and it got us everywhere where we wanted to go. We had a smaller issue with the water tank but Kylie was very helpful and we got it fixed very fast with her help - of course without charge ;) The driving of the van is really comfortable. So even without a lot of experience in driving vans it was very easy to drive. The bed was very comfortable :). The interior and the set up of the van was functional.
For the van collect in Christchurch Kylie came to meet us at the hostel where we stayed - so convenient! Thank you to Cruzy Campers for making our holidays in New Zealand a wonderful experience! Cheers, Regina and Hamid

Cruzy was great!
Kylie and Daniel were prompt with communication and were just lovely in general. The campervan gave us no problems throughout our trip and our 3yo loved his cozy little berth up top.
Kylie met us at the airport which was so convenient and dropped us off afterwards... It was just a little thing but it meant a lot to us so we didn't have to worry about taxis and car seats for our little guy.
Our LO loved sitting up front with us, and since the campervan is small, it fits in a regular parking space which is really convenient.
The van is well stocked, and had everything we needed. The heater was especially appreciated on those cold Spring nights in the mountains.
I loved supporting a family business and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cruzy!!

The camper van was a little older with some miles on it but in good shape over all and did everything we asked of it. We felt that we got good value for the money spent and would use Cruzy again for our next trip. Thank you Kylie.

Had the pleasure of renting a Cruzy Camper for 3 weeks at the end of 2018 for a trip around the South Island.
My girlfriend and I met Daniel in Christchurch, who gave us an incredibly helpful and comprehensive overview of the van. The van itself (Sherpy) was great, well maintained, and gave us no hiccups throughout our duration in NZ. We took it up some fairly steep roads, as well as dirt roads and experienced plenty of varying weather conditions and it was a treat to drive throughout. Inside was comfortable for the two of us and provided a lovely respite after long days of sightseeing/hiking.
Daniel and Kylie were above and beyond helpful, always prompt with responding to emails with a warm and friendly tone that seemed more like friends helping people out rather than speaking to a 'consultant' that is to be expected from larger corporations. We had one minor issue towards the end and Daniel was on the phone with us, helping us through the situation with both friendliness and professionalism. They seem to be more concerned that their clients are having a good time, which to me seems to fall inline with the general hospitality that we found throughout New Zealand. They even spent some time with us once we dropped off the van, and we shared stories with one another it was a lovely way to cap off an otherwise amazing trip to NZ.
Cannot recommend them more as a company to go through, for both the service they offer and their manner in providing it.
Thank you both so much!

We hired the van for 6 weeks; the handover included a thorough briefing and they repaired a broken bulb while we did our first shop.
The next 42 days were trouble free. The van was old but a character and everything was clean and comfortable. Some of the fittings had seen a lot of use but worked ok.
Cruzy’s service was exceptional, always answering emails promptly and even helping my daughter with a problem with her own van. They were always friendly and helpful. We had a great trouble-free holiday and highly recommend Cruzy to others. Great value for money as everything was included in the price.
