β β β β β My wife and I hired a 4 berth for a trip down south. Son and his wife and 17 month old hired the same although they got upgraded to a six berth. The van drove well and setting up each night was a breeze. We only used powered camp sites as we had the baby in our group. Plus it was our first experience of a camper van holiday.
It was an enjoyable seven days. We only had one glitch with the van. We used the toilet at night and never the shower. We cleaned the bathroom area and could not get the water to drain. After some effort we found that the drain had not been cleaned before we hired the van. It was full of hair.
When I raised this when we returned the van the comment was "that was bad luck".

β β β β β We hired a camper for a week and it was an easy way to travel. There were a few issues, such as dirty dishes in the drawer, and the water not being filled - or the pump not working properly, but overall it was great. We stayed in campgrounds and used their facilities, so it didn't really matter too much. It was a safe, easy van to drive, and in great condition overall.

β β β β β We hired a Mercedes 2/3 berth vehicle for 5 days. The pick-up and drop-off process was easy and transparent. The vehicle was perfect for the two of us. The app and videos were really good and helpful. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the air-con stopped working on the day temperatures hit 29C and it became pretty unpleasant driving at that point. Would we use Britz again? Absolutely.

β β β β β We picked up our britz Explorer campervan on the 17th of August. Pick up was super easy and the staff were wonderful to deal with.
Even prior to pickup we had great experience with a few questions we had.
Unfortunately the afternoon we picked it up we went into lockdown however we had 2 nights in it before managing to get flights home. It was meant to be a 2 week trip.
We found the van to be well equipped with everything nwe needed. It was warm. The blankets and sheets provided were of better quality than we expected and we had more than enough.
We can't wait to rebook our trip once this lockdown ends and covid restrictions ease.
We brought 4 soft carry on bags and 1 big hard suitcase and we were able to unpack all of our things with plenty of room and storage and leave our hard suitcase at the britz office.

β β β β β I made a booking before the traffic light system changes. THL changed thier policy @ the 11th hour, leaving us with the potential of a ruined holiday. Fortunately, they contacted us immediately insuring us that our choice to be un-vaxxed wouldnt hinder our experience with their company.
They organised for a private shuttle bus to pick us up from the airport and drop us off at our motorhome. All the prelims were completed before we arrived. All done contactlessly.
In this traffic light system, our choice to assess the long term effects of the vaccine has casted us out of society like a leper.
THL has demonstrated that there is room for businesses to operate non discriminatory.

β β β β β This was my first time hiring a campervan. The representatives at Christchurch were very professional. They took care of my concerns quickly. It took us only 15-30 minutes (from registration to driving the vehicle out of the center). The vehicle was clean and fun to drive. I had concerns with the brakes ( this was the first time I was driving a 7 meter van). They quickly called the mechanic who took me for the test drive and explained how brakes operate in vans. This was during after service hours. I had a very pleasant experience throughout my journey. I will hire again.

β β β β β We hired a 3-birth camper and loved our experience. Super easy to use, lots of space with us two and our small dog. It was awesome that we could take our dog. The bed mattress was a bit thin but we made it work. No problems, trustworthy van to drive, good on the roads, super easy check in and out. I would hire again.

β β β β β My husband and I hired a 2 Berth Venturer for a two week trip around the South Island. We got a discount being AA members which made the price very competitive. We had already watched the introductory videos before we arrived for pickup which saved us some time as others were made to sit and watch them if they hadn't. We did have an issue with the digital dashboard when we started up the vehicle but the employees came out and ran an update to get it back up and running. Unfortunately it proved to be quite unreliable on the trip, the navigation constantly crashing and the Bluetooth music cutting in and out. The team allowed us to unpack the contents of our suitcases into the camper and leave them at the branch until pickup which definitely made a difference when it came to space. They also gave us two sets of all the linen which was great and we were able to swap it on our journey at the Queenstown branch.
Overall the van was great for our needs. My husband did all the driving and said it drove well. We picked up a cheap mattress topper which made the bed 100x more enjoyable to sleep on so highly recommend doing this. The BBQ was our preferred cooking facility if the weather was nice, but would sometimes lose the flame if windy. We only used the built in shower once as it unfortunately did not drain very well but we were lucky enough to travel in Summer which meant we could bathe in rivers/oceans when we weren't at a campsite. It was great to have the chairs and tables included so we didn't have to bring our own. Be aware you are not able to take the road between Cardrona and WΔnaka in the camper (Crown Range Road) without facing a $300 fine.
We added on the Express Return Pack which made drop off super swift. Shuttle to and from airport also made it hassle-free.
Recommend to bring/buy:
- A car phone holder
- Additional towels
- Mattress topper
