I'm not going to tell you about Kia Ora and the very good reasons for using their services, as others have already done so before me.

I'm not going to tell you about Vicky because we haven't spoken to her yet. I'm not going to tell you about Steeve, or his friendliness, joviality and good-naturedness, or even his openness when it comes to talking about his magnificent country and giving you tips for your itinerary around the South Island. I won't even mention their website, which is very well done and full of information. I won't even mention their very competitive rates. I'm not going to tell you about their responsiveness in responding to you and reassuring you before you arrive in New Zealand to prepare for your trip. I won't mention the fact that you'll be picked up from the airport on your arrival and taken back to the airport on your return. Nor will I tell you about their vehicles, which are functional and well thought out. No, I'll tell you about what was essential for us during our trip from Christchurch: Steve's availability, support, seriousness and empathy during the difficult moments we encountered during our journey. In fact, when you have problems because of the indelicacy of people who have previously hired the vehicle (a three berths motorhome Sprinter) for which you are responsible, Steve was incredibly present to support us and try, from a distance, to solve our problems. It's said that New Zealanders are amazing people, and Steve is the perfect example. For all these reasons, and perhaps others that you'll discover, we highly recommend Kia Ora!
