Think you to thi great van great trip. Just to say thank you to Carouna for looking after my rv return. Just to give you ALL a heads up on my way around New Zealand north and south Island there many big big roadworks the chances of a windscreen chip are very high. I drove over 6000km. There were 2 filled chips when I hired it and 3 when I left it back. This is so regular they have a price list 1ch...

Saw some average reviews on Internet. Personnaly, had no problem with the van nor the company. We had a free shuttle from the airport with a very nice employee that talked to us a lot about NZ. Then we had a very nice briefing with a Young employee (sorry I did not catch her name) that made sure we understood the van. They gave us a free gas bottle fulling for the « long » delay during Check-in ...

Pick up and drop off seamless, less than 30 minutes for both. Took the premium package so just had to pack personal belongings and not worry about refuelling gas or diesel, cleaning or road taxes. A great option. Travelled approx 2,000 k’s with the vehicle not missing a beat. Special shout out to Meaux, the awesome shuttle bus driver who took me back to base when I forgot my mobile phone and then ...

Check in/out absolutely flawless, picked up and dropped off at the airport. The whole process into out did not take more than half an hour. Very nice and professional service. The van has all you need, comfortable motor home which it was for me for three weeks. Everybody can drive it , as easy as normal car to drive but more fun. Already planning my next trip with these guys.

Just completed an incredible road trip across New Zealand and had the pleasure of renting a campervan from Britz — truly one of the best decisions of our journey! From the moment we arrived, the service was tremendously good. The staff were warm, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating. It seems to be a norm here in New Zealand that people are naturally friendly and kind, and the Britz team re...
