Highly Recommended.

We hired the Budget 4 for seven weeks. At seventy years of age the 2006 model didn't sound that old. We were a little surprised to see 623k on the clock (we added another 8k). With the high price of diesel we found the VW very economical The solar charging system allowed us to only plug in to power the first two days in Auckland, freedom camping the rest of the trip.We only had two issues to add to our adventure.At Greymouth we locked the keys in the motorhome (I blame Alma). An hour later the maintenance team had us on our way with the help of a local locksmith. At Dunedin we noticed a bearing noise in the gearbox. By the time we rolled into the Christchurch depot at 11:30am Sunday it sounded ready to collapse. Lisa was unfazed, she lent us a nice little hybrid station wagon and asked that we arrange accommodation for the night. Amazingly, 12 noon next day, we were driving out of their yard with a new gearbox and clutch fitted. From the time we were picked up from the airport until the time we were returned we had first class service. Thank you to the team at Wendekreisen!
