We have recently returned from New Zealand and had a marvelous holiday there.

We would like to recommend Go Wild to anyone wanting to tour in NZ. This company is extremely flexible, making it possible to obtain the vans in Auckland, Christchurch, Picton or Nelson at no extra charge. We throughly enjoyed the trip, the vans were easy to drive, comfortable and clean. The couple running the company were most helpful and friendly and they did everything to ensure our comfort. Lovely!

Good value cheap campervans.

But they charge the same price for the old vans as they do for newer ones.

Our experience with Go Wild Campervans has left a very bad taste in our mouths.

We have never had an experience quite like it and we have travel throughout the world, using operators and rental companies in dozens of countries. The total lack of customer support or commitment on the part of Simon Whittaker and his staff has never been paralleled in our experience and we really hope we never have to endure a company like his again.

We had to terminate our holiday early due to the stress that we were feeling on a daily basis due to the state of the vehicle we hired. We had to deal with dozens of mechanics, have had to find appropriate services ourselves, with no help from Go Wild. Even when we drove to their base town, Nelson, we were still told to look around ourselves to find an auto electrician to fix a broken fridge. We had to find someone to deal with malfunctioning stereos, leaks that let in rain and dust, holes in the floor, draining batteries, cold, damp, draughty vehicles that were unsafe - window wipers that didn't work, front wheels totally out of balance, windows that would not close and items missing that were included on their website http://www.gowildcampervans.co.nz such as sheets.

We spent hours on the phone with Simon, who dodged, denied, expressed disbelief, avoided any responsibility and simply didn't seem to care about what was happening to our holiday.

We feel that our vacation was ruined. Our money has not being refunded for terminating the rental and we have not being compensated for the repairs we had to do, nor the days wasted getting the repairs done. We would advise against this company to anyone and we wish we had never being sent to them in the first place.

The service from this small and helpful company was second to none.

A lovely little van provided a great base to explore the worlds best scenery - without question! I would highly recommend that anyone wishing to travel without paying huge bucks should try this family run business first.

Although the vans are not brand new they are well presented and provide for all your needs. Help in planning the trip is available from Go Wild who can point you at the "Not to be missed" areas to ensure you get the most enjoyment from your trip. Excellent value for money and highly recommended!

In comparism to a similar van in Austalia, I was really impressed with this company.

Mainly for the person we dealt with (Gaylene). She ws informative, knew about the van and spent about 2 hours with us. She gave us more than we needed. When we broke down, it was handled promptly.
