We had such an excellent experience with Road Runner Rentals.
I researched for months and actually had a deposit on SpaceShips before we found Road Runners, I'm really happy that we decided to go with RRR. First, we actually missed the shuttle pickup at the airport so they sent us an Uber at no charge to bring us to the pickup site.. First impressions go a long way, and that was HUGE. Secondly, I recommend you take out their insurance. It was some of the cheapest that we found among all rental companies and your credit card insurance doesn't cover campervans anyhow, so you should really take out the insurance. Their pricing was really reasonable, and we actually picked up a stone chip that spread during our journey. It was handled really professionally and was a headache-free experience for us. The vans were quite new, we had 2 rentals, our first van had about 25,000kms and our second had 60,000. We heard the horror stories about Lucky, Jucy, etc all with high mileage.. Road runners were like new for us. Everything worked, although we tried to freedom camp as much as possible and found that the fridge doesn't run too well after a few days without plugging in to 240v. The solar helped a lot, but sometimes that third day it was 'cool', not 'cold', so just be sure to plug in to external power. Other than that, the vans were great, no mechanical issues, they were comfortable and they had everything we needed. Don't be afraid of the toilet, it's easy to clean, so be responsible out there in the freedom spots!
