Lucky Rentals was so good…
Everything with Lucky Rentals was good for us, starting with a really good rental price for our camper-van. Lucky's depot was easy to get to via public transport, check in was a simple process followed by a walk through of the van features with a staff member. The van itself although an older model ran perfectly throughout our trip and was very comfortable to drive and sleep in. When we returned the van Lucky also took us to the airport at no extra cost. Lucky Rentals is a company I would recommend to anyone visiting New Zealand that wants to rent a camper van.

reaktiv, hilfsbereit, nett
Lucky Rental hat uns immer sofort geantwortet, wenn wir eine Frage hatten. Die Leute dort sind super nett, reaktiv, professionell. Haben uns bei allem geholfen. Einen Hick gab es doch: Das Auto war extrem schmutzig, nur oberflächlich gesäubert. Auch da wollten sie uns helfen, aber wir waren schon so weit weg in der Natur, dass das nicht mehr ging. Also, Auto vorher abchecken, vor allem in den kleinen Ablagerungen.

Huge saving
Very good value for a 15 day rent. Although there are mishaps from the van, the staff are really helpful. I just hope they are open 24/7 due to ETA of planes.

Total rip off
Total rip off. Didn't get the vehicle as pictured in the advertisement. Then because you go through a third party. The final payment isn't the final payment. You're paying a lot more when in the office. Vehicle was dirty, like it hadn't been cleaned after last user.

Broken Ignition key, broken chair, leaking van - NO compensation
We hired a fairly basic camper van in 2014 from Lucky rentals and decided to up grade to a larger van for our trip in Nov/Dec 2022. The problems started on the 2nd day when the ignition key repeatedly refused to turn in the mechanism. We discovered that the key was very worn and almost broken in two with a hairline crack at the mid point. On the 3rd day the key refused to come out of the mechanism. We had to track down a specialist auto key cutting service which meant a 160 miles detour right across the north island in the opposite direction that we had been traveling. This was very stressful 5 hour drive to get to a suitable locksmith - when he saw the condition of the key he was shocked and said "This is the worst key I have seen in 20 years of lock-smithing." Later on in our 5 week hire we discovered that the roof of the van leaked when it rained. The toilet/ shower had rainwater dripping off of the ceiling and it eventually made a large puddle on the floor. One of the fold up chairs was also very old and worn to the point that it broke the second time I sat in it. When we left the van back in Christchurch the staff simply said "oh well these things happen". They refunded the money we had spent in replacing the key and the chair but offered NO compensation for the aggravation involved or for fuel/lost time. We had a flight to catch so we were just pleased to drop the van off and go. Also just to add there were some large gaps around the "bumper" area of the front section of the camper van - I discovered the whole thing was held in place with about 10 cable ties...............that is just lazy maintenance.

A weird business model
Delayed pick up from Airport. Extremely run-down car with mold stains. A harsh Manager with Little respect for customers. I could go on but would advise anyone to choose another company.
