Perfect from start to finish!

Amazing experience right from the booking stage to the drop off. Highly recommend. The vans are set up so well, are reliable and easy to drive!

Neave at Christchurch was exceptional

On arrival, Neave was exceptional and gave us and our friends an upgrade into a Maui van. She certainly matches her Gaelic name meaning bright or radiant

Handover can be better as there were a few things that I did not know how it worked, e.g. releasing the parking break if it does not release automatically.

We hired a Mighty Double Up camper van for 2 weeks to tour the South Island of NZ.
The hiring and collection of our campervan was faultless.
However, over the 2 weeks we encountered a number of issues with the van including broken equipment and even a broken door meaning it was a safety issue for us to get out. To their credit, we did get the door temporarily fixed at an RV Centre in Invercargill but all the other issues would have taken us away from our holiday to be fixed so these were left with a very minimal compensation supplied on drop off of the vehicle.
The van was clearly a lot older than the 4 year maximum noted on the website!
Would not recommend this company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Lisa. We do sincerely apologise that you had issues with the camper and equipment and we understand that these impacted your overall experience. Our Mighty Campers are aged from 5 years on fleet in New Zealand, not up to 4 years, and we regret that this was not communicated clearly in your case. That said, we aim for all campers, regardless of age, to meet the high standards we strive to uphold. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We were a group of 4 adults and 1 teenager travelling for 10 days in 2 campervans in the South Island of NZ.
We had our own campervan and hired the other from Mighty Campers.

From the moment we drove off we encountered multiple issues with the campervan.
In all we had 11 issues, with the most critical being the house battery and how at night time when we parked up we only got 1 hour of electricilty having motored all day and plugged in the night before.
This was extremely frustrating as we had to turn the motor on to run the lights, fridge and taps the nights that we weren't plugged in.
Our own campervan enabled our visitors from overseas to have electricity for 4 nights without plugging in.
The other issues we encountered were the plug in the sink let the water leak so we had to buy a new one to do the dishes.
Latches, hinges were broken enabling doors to come open and a ladder rattling constantly. The fridge racks were broken and didn't fit our fridge which we had to return and get some new ones fitted. The shower drain had a dreadful smell and was covered with hair. The front passenger seat was not able to move backwards or forwards. The gas grill didn't work.

We have been back to Mighty and expressed our dissatisfaction.

wonderful road trip

We booked for a 3 berth camper and we were given a brand new Maui Cascade instead, a real 4-bed, for the same price. The campervan was perfect for what we intended to do with and we drove fully confident almost 3 000 km. Comfort was incredible with the electric bed we could descent and raise at discretion, freeing room for day activities

Needed upgrades and visibility of extra food.

We had two van rentals, Christchurch and Auckland, 3/6 and 3/23/26. We have a van at home so we know what’s helpful. 1. Only include a bike rack if requested. Racks are on nearly every van and they are a pain to deal with. 2. Include 300 watts of solar on every van. If you drive each day the house battery will have plenty of juice for the nite. No need to plug in at all unless your sitting for several days and have no solar. 3. Have a powered ceiling fan and one window with a screen. If it’s hot and buggy it’s miserable inside and too hot to sleep.

Long wait times at both places to check out and very slow check in as well. Several hours at Christchurch. Definitely short staffed. Great that folks returning can bring leftover food and supplies so new arrivals can stock up. When we returned to Auckland and brought food in it was then that we saw two cabinet doors marked Pantry Food. With these doors closed it’s easy to miss and no idea there was a refrigerator that had surplus food. Make frig and cabinets very visible.

Good size camper

Good size camper, great app THL that has lots of great information. Before during & end of trip. The community pantry was awesome to pickup supplies, & then pay it forward with our leftover stuff. My only negative comment would be the person giving the orientation at pickup was very rushed, (we are seasoned rvs & we had to stop her ask specific important questions) any novice inexperienced people would be in serious trouble with what little info she gave in a very rushed overview of camper operations. After reading other reviews we knew to arrive first thing in morning at opening to avoid super long waiting lines. & again at drop off- same thing. The shuttle service to airport was fast & convenient.

We got a great & clean campervan at the branch in Christchurch. However it really is very different for each branch.. a few weeks later we rented a campervan in Cairns and the experience was horrible and we got a very dirty campervan. awe even bought our own pillows because the ones in the camper were disgusting. Anyway, if you pick up the campervan in Christchurch and they still have the same quality level as in Feb 2026, you‘lö have an amazing experience! Our maui campervan looked pretty new and was cleaned very well. We got propper blankets & pillows which were very comfortable and clean. The blanket was super warm so we could easily sleep without a heating eventhough it had 5-7 degrees outside during the night.
