After convincing myself I had made a massive mistake after reading the negative reviews, we arrived in Christchurch with very low expectations.

We were met with a really friendly, helpful team at the counter. They honestly couldn't be more helpful.

Now about the van. We got a "lucky rover". Yes it is an ex-jucy and has done over 400,000kms. But it drove perfectly and was in pretty good overall condition, i could not fault it, everything worked. It was well set out and comfortable. We had a minor electrical issue with the fridge, But after a few friendly taps with my palm above the switch panel, everything corrected itself and we didn't have any more issues for the second week of the trip.

It liked the fuel in windy conditions and in hilly areas and above 90kmh, but it sat on 100kmh and above just fine and passing other cars was fine with a little planning. Real steep hills certainly slowed the little 4 cylinder down, but that's to be expected. It's a high roofed camper, not a race car.

Thank you so much lucky rentals, it was an excellent experience.
