We rented our campervan for 1 month, starting in Christchurch and ending in Auckland.
We had Nissan Vantte 2008. Fuel consumption was around 10, car itself was automatic and okay to drive, although not recommended for taller people. First of all, we were a bit dissapointed in experience with people in both branches, very unitnerested, after trying to ask a few things about the car, they said we have a manual in the car (usually when we rent campervans they show you the car, etc.). Car is in okay condition, but don't expect to travel fast, as these cars are slow in general and extra slow uphill, which can be very annoying in a hilly country like NZ. The interior is okay although it could be planned a bit better, especially with extra space under the bed. Storage is very limited, they don't provide any boxes for your food or dishes, you get them in a sack?! I think we were dissapointed as we paid for all this additional things, but in the end we had to buy additional things(coffee plunger, coffee cups, sharp knife, storage containters, etc), which we had to leave behind as we couldn't take them on the plane. We rented their fridge as well and it worked well on 120W, but didn't cool that good on 12V,even after driving for few hours. PAlso bring your own usb adapter for the phones, as they don't provide one. Also, radio almost doesn't work, except around the big cities, so keep that in mind, bring your own music.
They were very responsive when our tyre blew up, which was a very nice thing. Overall, they are not a bad company, also cars are okay, but just be prepared, that you don't pay much, you don't get much.
