We rent the VW T5 Kea Pop Top called „Westy“ for 6 Weeks.

We totally fell in love to Westy and it was hard to say goodbye! The comfort of this vehicle is all around! Because the Pop Top roof you’re more aerodynamic than the higher cars and with the automatic 6 speed transmission makes driving in NZ easier and you use less gasoline. The Interior is very cozy with wooden furniture and lots of space for everything! Frontseats are very comfortable and are able to rotate for sitting in opposite to each other. We slept except one time in the rooftop bed. Very cool and you don‘t need to rearrange everything befor you’re going to sleep.

Kerry picked us up at our hotel in Auckland and we drove to their home. We met Mitchell and he offer a wonderful Capuccino. The Green family is at the beginning very personable and absolutely friendly!

After we got to know each other he explained everything about NZ roads and the car. They drove with us to the gas station and supermarket to see if we‘re able to deal with NZ roads;-)

NZ roads are very rough and sometimes something unexpected happens. But don‘t worry, they‘ll stay all the time by your side and make sure you’re not feeling alone. Mitchell and Kerry are such lovely people and take care of you! Something that you haven‘t at the bigger rental companies!

We highly recommend Nomadnz and would rent Westy every time again! Thank you very much to help us realizing our dream and make NZ to a special place!
