Ottima esperienza!
Abbiamo preso un auto con tenda montata sul tettuccio per due, compresa di piccola cucina a gas, frigo, lavabo con acqua, tavolo e due sedie da campeggio. La tenda è completamente attrezzata: cuscini, lenzuola, asciugamani. Super comfortable! L’auto era una fantastica RAV4. Unici difetti: l’auto é poco fornita in termini di caricabatterie per telefoni e navigatore (infotainment un po’ vecchiotto). Per il resto, esperienza che rifarei domani stesso, consiglio vivamente a tutti.

Travelling in NZ was a dream come true and our van was a huge part of that.
Cannot fault our experience with Mad Campers from all my questions prior to booking, to dropping the van back and the staff being genuinely so pleased to see us and wanting to hear about our adventures.

They're leagues ahead of the other rental companies for value, friendliness, personable service and organisation.
We had the trip of our lifetimes in our van and it became our home for 4 weeks, travelling over 5000kms.
If you want your trip to be FUN and exciting, then go with Mad Campers. If you want a little side quest, try the Mad Challenge!

We recently enjoyed a three-week campervan trip to explore NZ's north and south islands.
We booked Mad Camper's new model (the Mad Explorer) and had an absolutely amazing experience with the company. From the outset, we could tell that Mad Campers is incredibly thoughtful in everything they do - they gave us an introductory walk-through of the vehicle and the written instructions provided in the van were super clear. We had never stayed in a campervan before but the equipment and instructions they provided made living in the van smooth and straightforward for everything from using the kitchen to emptying waste water, etc. The Mad Explorer was so thoughtfully and efficiently designed, and it was very comfortable for two people. In addition, there were so many little touches provided by the team (e.g., welcome NZ chocolate and mad campers t-shirts) and with the van (e.g. oil, salt and pepper for cooking, great cookware and utensils, comfy bedding and towels) that made our experience a true 10/10. During our entire trip, we only encountered one small issue, and the team was immediately reachable and very helpful in supporting us to troubleshoot when this happened (it turned out the kettle provided was too high of a voltage for the circuit -- a really minor and easy issue to work-around). We can't recommend this company highly enough -- book with Mad Campers and try out the Mad Explorer!!!

I have had a wonderful holiday in Pakiri Beach Mad Camper 1 adventuring solo round Northland NZ. Your mad campers 1 was the absolutely perfect way to do this.
I loved everything about my van..it was all very easy...storage great, fridge brill and kept things really cold, cooker and gas, water etc so easy. The simplicity of living she offered restored my soul. It was great to feel I was simply driving a car. THANKYOU for the genius of creating this camper.
Also to say I found your supportive, relaxed style wonderful and Connor was fantastic....information, introducing me to the van, questions on route etc. Just excellent. Nothing was a problem or too much.
Highly recommend Mad Campers as a fantastic way to travel and adventure.

Madcampers was absolutely awesome.
I have never used a campervan before and I rented the MAD1 as I was travelling alone. Due to some weird travel issues I had to pick it up a couple days later and they were very helpful with working with me on that. Once I got the camper, it was very comfy and easy to use. I was also happy it was easy to drive as I am from the USA and had to get used to driving on the other side of the road. When it came to cooking, I am not very experienced using a gas bottle stove, but it was easy to set up and took me less than a minute. I cooked most of my meals on it and it felt great to have that freedom. I would definitely use them again if I came back this way.My only comment would be that the provided fridge sometimes wouldnt get cold enough so I added some ice to it. Still, amazing time.

The staff was really polite and answered all our questions both online and in person. The van worked well, it had everything advertised and it was in pretty good shape.
We only had one issue with the van and it was that the fridge didn't work when the van was not running (probably some electrical issue with the connection to the second battery) but it did work when the van was on (i.e., when we were driving). Unfortunately, we realised this a couple of days after we had started our trip and given that it was during the end of year holidays and we were pretty far from Christchurch already they couldn't do anything about it when we called them. This was a bit annoying but it didn't ruin our experience. They were very sorry about this issue and gave us a significant refund once we returned the van so all in all it was a positive result.
We'd definitely rent from them again on our next trip.

The whole process was so easy, and Fer (Onehunga) made us laugh the entire time, took us on a thorough tour of our camper (we called her Cleo) and told us some tips and tricks for the road. We only had Cleo for a few nights but she did not disappoint! Cleo came kitted out with absolutely everything you could possibly think of, we basically just needed to bring our clothes and food to cook! And wine to drink of course. Cleo was super comfortable, warm, so roomy, and so stylish! She got us everywhere we wanted to go!

My partner and I spent 5 weeks in our amazing MAD 2 camper.
The Ultimate Fair-weather adventure van
We travelled one way ChCh to Auck. and loved every second. The van was incredibly reliable, and the engineering support was second-to-none (we broke our key and had to call them on Sunday evening; he picked up immediately and helped sort the problem!)
The MAD colleagues were awesome. They were genuinely passionate about camping, super helpful and really encouraged us to get involved with the MAD challenge (which was awesome)
Inside, the van has a clever set up, maximising space whilst keeping you in the outdoor lifestyle. It was self contained which allowed us to park pretty mush anywhere and cook, camp and enjoy NZ. The bed was comfy; we had adequate storage (especially with the top box), there was a fridge big enough for a few days provisions. The cooking space is great and the utensils perfect (my partners a bit of a snob when it comes to this but he loved the cooking stuff). The sink is small but adequate and the hose is a good addition.
Ultimate adventure van.
The price for our duration couldn't be beaten (believe me, I tried).
Things I wish I had known:
- Take a mosquito net/ hire the net from MAD. Sand flies are NZ version of the Scottish midgy/ hungry mosquitos
- Bunnings shop sell chairs super cheap. Buy these and also stretch to a table - we wished we'd done the latter
- We were incredibly lucky with good weather; the cooking and cleaning set up worked well for us but not sure how it would fair in poorer weather

We had a technical issue whilst on the road and they were just a phone call away with assistance. The van itself was in good condition with almost everything you'd need provided from the team and also a great selection of left-over products to pick from at HQ. Downside would be we booked the canopy which was overpriced and never used as it just isn't practical when constantly on the move or even that easy to use.

They were such a pleasure to work with from getting my first quote, to dropping my van off as t the end of my trip. Customer service was great, the van had everything we needed, and no complaints at all! Shoutout to Hannah and Elliot for being complete rockstars! Just a word to the wise, save your money and don’t bother with the canopy- it isn’t necessary, and really is a pain to set up. Also, the WiFi is mediocre at best, so probably best to pass on that too. There are I sites EVERYWHERE with info to get you around, and a map was completely adequate to get around since there aren’t many roads and the signage is awesome. Overall, everyone should rent with Mad Campers and have an amazing trip!!
