We arrived in NZ on 29th Dec 2019, and hired a Jucy Chaser from 31st Dec 2019 till 16th Jan 2020.
Our plan was to pick up the Jucy in Christchurch, spend 2 weeks on the South Island, catch the ferry to the North Island, and spend the final week travelling up to the drop off point in Auckland. The pickup was smooth, and quicker than expected. However, the Jucy could have been a bit cleaner inside. And it turned out it hadn't been fully fuelled prior to us picking it up. What was in the tank wasn't there for very long, as the Jucy's thirst for petrol was astounding! It also handled like a barge, and hated going up hills. However, I found it a comfortable place to sleep (my girlfriend thought that the cushioned boards were a bit hard). The sink and gas cooker worked great. However, it could have done with a few more storage bags inside. And the shower and toilet never got used. We didn't realise that the Holidayparks in NZ are generally so well equipped. Lesson learned for the future.
The bottom line - our Jucy Chaser never missed a beat, and got us where we wanted to go. For that I'm grateful, and would not hesitate to rent a Jucy vehicle again.
