This was our second time renting at Apollo’s Christchurch branch.

Here are the pros and cons to renting from here, from our perspective.

PROS

1. Clean campervans in good working order

2. Favorable rental price (especially if you have your own separate rental insurance)

3. Free airport pick up and drop off; also free wifi and coffee at the branch location

4. Responsive customer service via email (likely this is with Apollo’s main iffice in Australia)

5. Friendly staff at the branch (exceptions: see CONS)

CONS

1. Guest service rep who may use various methods (fear, misleading figures/numbers, etc.) to try to sell additional insurance and services.

2. Feeling rushed to inspect the campervan when picking up. This was especially the case on our second rental

Would we rent again from here? Likely, because of the good value for what you get. Plus we already know what to expect. Would we recommend to others? Depends. If you don’t mind the hassel of dealing with a stressful pick-up for the sake of price, and you are patient, then yes. But if you are not, then maybe you might be happier paying more for a stress-free experience.

But our trip was great both times! NZ is truly beautiful!
