I have to be honest - the only reason I rented from Choice Campers is because I waited too long to make my reservation and they were literally had the only available campervan for my needs and itinerary

. The van wasn't as fancy, spec-wise, as I had hoped but I decided it would be OK to "rough it". Fast forward to the end of my adventure and I am so grateful the other more fancy (and more expensive) campervans weren't available! I fell in love with the van, which was modest but totally perfect for my solo adventure (the van would also be perfect for a couple, btw). I drove it for 2 weeks between Auckland and Christchurch, and when it came time to drop it off I was begging Milan to let me keep it through my journey to Queenstown (it was already booked, unfortunately).

I can't say enough great things about the van - it was well maintained and very reliable. Since it's a converted minivan, it was easy to maneuver and was really helpful as I adjusted to driving on the other side of the car and the road. In the end, I was really grateful to not have blatant advertising splattered all over the vehicle (especially a woman traveling solo, it was important to me not to draw attention to myself). I also can't believe all the amenities that were included for free. There was more than enough bedding, camp chairs, a table, and the "kitchen" was fully stocked with everything I needed...including extra fuel canisters for the stove!

Milan and Matea were really easy to deal with and incredibly responsive whenever we corresponded. I felt confident that I was in good hands and that, if anything unexpected were to happen, they would be diligent and available to help me in whatever way possible. When I come back to New Zealand (and I will), Choice Campers will now be my preferred choice in campervan rental!
