Great company! The van was perfect for our week road trip and had everything we needed. We picked it up and it was spotless and felt almost brand new. It came with everything we needed and Andy was a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely use Epic Campers again.

Can't recommend EPIC Campers highly enough. Andy was fantastic to deal with and very accommodating. Having travelled NZ a couple of times in campers, the set up of the vans at EPIC is ingenious. Everything has a place which makes it easy to keep organised, yet van was small enough to go over the hills and park in towns without any issue. Perfect for our 2 month trip. Perfect van, perfect service. So glad we could use our money to support a small local NZ business. Infinitely better experience than the big name motorhome rental companies we have used in the part.

We hired a van for 3 weeks, which turned into 3 months as we continuously extended our tour of post-lockdown New Zealand. The personal and attentive service from the owner and his partner in Christchurch made the hire experience easy. We appreciated the quality of the kitchen instruments provided. Simple things like a great nonstick pan, sharp knives, and provided salt, pepper, and oil make it easier to adjust on your first nights in a campervan.

These Mazda vans are small, but this means they are incredibly easy to drive. No fussing about where to park and maneuvering. It's easy to underappreciate how the ease of driving a smaller vehicle contributes to a stress-free trip - we covered 5000kms to loop the south island, with many narrow, winding, or gravel roads in the mountains. While not large inside, it is possible to effectively seat 4 inside for a game of cards. Touring during winter, we were warm enough using all of the extra blankets provided (4 total) with some nights getting below 0 degrees.

The kitchen sets up outside, under the back door. On most nights we faced either cold, rain, or sandflies and chose to cook inside with our portable camping stove rather than open up the cabin to use the kitchen. The canopy cover for the rear area might be nice for those planning to rely on the provided kitchen set up.

Epic camper's vans are a great choice for an adventurous individual or couple that plans to cover a lot of distance and wants to freedom camp.

We took one of these vans over 2000ks in 2 weeks around the South Island and absolutely loved it. The van was very comfortable and we never had any troubles. Once again thanks Andy and team!

We hired a Van from Epic Campers for a week in June 2020 to go spend time away in our beautiful country. From the very start we were impressed with what Epic Campers vans had to offer, the vans are easy to drive, comfortable and the interior was so well thought out! We could tell that a lot of thought and passion had gone into decking out these vans. Even though it was winter the van was still so warm and cozy. We also appreciated the fast and clear communication from Andy from the very moment we booked our van. As first time camper-vanners it reassuring being given a full run-down on how everything worked in the van and having access to people to contact from Epic Campers round the clock should we have any issues. We would both highly recommend Epic Campers and woundnt hesitate to rent from them again in the future.

Our campervan rental with EPIC campers was the most exceptional experience and gave us the opportunity to explore New Zealand the best way possible. Andy of EPIC campers was very helpful from the start - our options, additional equipment, functionality of the van and pricing was clear. We exchanged multiple e-mails with additional questions, and even asked if we could borrow some kitchen equipment before our rented trip, and Andy was always quick to reply and helped us out a lot. When starting our trip he took the time to explain everything, make sure all equipment was working and we knew how to operate it. You really feel that he wants to have his customers to have a good experience.
The van turned out to be perfect for our purposes. We had originally planned to rent a larger vehicle including built-in kitchen and sanitary facilities with a different company, but in retrospect we are glad that we came across EPIC campers. During our trip we came across all sizes of campervans and often valued the flexibility that comes with a smaller vehicle. You can park in spots for regular cars, need less space on (sometimes) crowded campgrounds, and the van is easier (and faster) to drive on the curvy NZ roads. Since we wanted to see as much as possible in our four weeks trip, this was definitely a bonus. And: not to forget - the EPIC camper was WAY cheaper than the campervans with built-in shower and kitchen. In comparison with the other option we were looking into, it was less than half the price. Despite being small, it had everything we needed. We had mostly nice weather, so we enjoyed cooking at the back of the vehicle, the power converter and multiple USB outlets helped us charge our phone, camera batteries and other electronics, and sleeping was super cosy. Vans are well designed for optimum use. For the saved $ we could regularly stay at the nicest campgrounds so we never felt we were missing anything. Would rent with EPIC campers again anytime.
