This is a great way to travel New Zealand. With so much to see, having the option to stay at any location along the way without a powered site is awsome. I will be doing this again at some stage.

Hiring a motorhome with Maui was a mostly positive experience. However, be wary about their airport shuttle service. When we picked up the motorhome, we said that we had an early flight and would need to be at the airport fairly quickly after drop off. The staff assured us that they would accomodate us and we were there as promised when their doors opened at 8am. We were seriously let down when we dropped it off because it turned out that no, they couldn't get us to the airport on time for our flight as the shuttle only leaves once on the hour. What would have helped matters is if they perhaps helped us arrange a taxi or something but no, we were left to fend for ourselves. The attendant claimed no knowledge of the previous arrangement / assurance that they'd help get us there on time. It was a very sour and stressful end to what was a fantastic first experience hiring a motorhome.
The service was good, the RV was in good condition and everything works well
Smooth, seamless experience as a whole. Fun to drive and problem-free Van. Recommended
Excellent service from pick up and drop off. We really enjoyed our camper as it was new and rode good on the road. Professional and quick as well.
Everything went smoothly, from the easy pick-up process to the helpful and friendly staff. The motorhome was a pleasure to travel in, making our journey around this beautiful country both comfortable and enjoyable.
The drop-off process was just as easy and efficient, making the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. I would happily recommend Maui Motorhome Rentals to anyone looking for a great travel experience.
Great experience, almost everything was as expected.
What we had trouble with was the condition of the snow chains when we had to put them on to get out of the parking spot. It was totally rusty and the grooves of the locking mechanism was full or rust that we might have had to use a drill to fix it up. So we could not get out in time and we had to spend an extra day at the site. Extra cost and waste of a day of holiday.
I hope they had checked its condition prior to loading it. Even during the pre vehicle check the staff member casually just mentioned the snow chains. We should have opened it up and checked the condition.
Vehicle was near new, clean, easy to drive and comfortable. Initial walk around was done well and suited our previous experience level with motorhomes. Staff were friendly and prompt. Minor issues with the toilet cassette leaking and a bucket with a hole in it, otherwise a most enjoyable experience. Grey water hose could be a little longer.

First time doing motorhome road trip. It's a great experience and fun.

It took over four hours to pick up the motorhome. There were problems with the sensors, and then a problem with the engine light. They changed motorhomes, which took time, and there were differences in the buttons and other features compared to the previous one, which they refused to explain, only giving us a leaflet. This gave a terrible impression of customer service. On top of that, they were indignant that we had informed them about the problems with the sensors and the engine itself, especially since it was our first time renting a motorhome. We barely complained, and they were rude. Later, we had problems during the drive, but the roadside assistance was very attentive and willing to help.

The handle on the gas spike didn’t work and I called in to the 24/7 hotline but the customer service officer wasn’t very understanding and seem to be quite impatient about my issue and told me to just wait next morning to call in again when the usual working hours opens at 8am.

This is our first time patronizing them , overall vehicle condition was mediocre, there were pre existing issues with the vehicle outer conditions , which it’s prone to easily damage and it’s vulnerable to fail , which you will hold full liability, even if you damaged it , you would have to pay for the full price . We saw dishonesty as the last damage from the last customer was not even repaired , believed payment had been made by the last customer . We paid for some damages and requested that we have the proof of photo evidence to show that they have really replaced the damaged part , but the staff mentioned that this is the first time they received such request! I have to know what I am paying for ! Either they will leave the damage as it is , or simply lazy ! The hotline is always not available when we want to seek assistance. Luckily , we didn’t breakdown on the road . Would appreciate if the staff could just have the courtesy to say a simple thank you to their customer but we did not even experience it from the staff that served our check out .

The staff were very nice and helpful. Our van worked great. It was clean and made for the perfect travel option for us.

Request to have a Mercedes vehicle, but didn't change for me. That Inveco vehicle was no Apple carplay, the build in map was too lousy.

We had a great experience travelling around New Zealand in the Maui motorhome rented from Christchurch. It was comfortable, convenient, and made exploring different parts of the country very enjoyable. Staying at the campsites and waking up to beautiful scenery was definitely a memorable part of the trip.
During the trip, we experienced a few hiccups with the campervan, but the service staff at the Queenstown branch were very helpful and resolved the issues for us promptly, which really helped make the rest of our journey much smoother and more enjoyable.
We booked the motorhome for 11 days, and while it was an amazing experience overall, we felt that a mix of campervan stays and Airbnb accommodation with a normal car might have been more comfortable and flexible for a longer trip. Still, it was a wonderful way to experience New Zealand and we are glad we did it.

The vehicle was in immaculate condition, There were issues at pickup in Christchurch but then the journey went on smooth after almost 1.5 hour wait. The queenstown team was amazing during drop off. Overall the experience was good

The motorhome was in great condition, clean, and had everything we needed. We had a fantastic trip! The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the pickup and drop-off process was super easy. They also stored our luggage for us.

We picked up our Motorhome in Christchurch NZ to do a 2-week trip around the South Island.
The wait & handover time for pickup was very efficient (I think we were out in ~ 30 or so minutes) - as opposed to our friends picking up a van next door at a competitor, who took about 2 hours!!
Similarly, the drop off & check out was minimal. The staff were all professional and delightful; they were well-staffed so could move customers through properly & promptly.
There is also a bit of an RV retail area too where you can pick up some additional equipment you might need. We bought some cheap for mats to help with keeping the amount of dirt, autumn leaves, etc, coming into the vans down.
We had no real problems with the van (little bits of wear & tear are to be expected) & did not have to call for help. Though, The USB C & 12V chargers on the dash sometimes worked, sometimes not. You need to take your own phone holders for the dashboard.
NZ is fabulous for free camping & we used a few camp sites for power & water top-ups &managing waste.
Overall, a great/positive experience this time, compared to a traumatic time with disasters we had from the same company in Perth WA last year, with multiple vehicle failures, poor emergency support, extensive delays in drop-offs & pickups, etc. THL appropriately gave us a credit voucher that we used for this trip; we were obviously a bit tentative about it going well. It did! Thanks THL!!
