Hi, I'm Gilson

We hired Olivia for our roadtrip in south island for first week of December and we had an amazing experience. The van was clean, reliable and super easy to drive and had everything we needed. The owner, Gilson was incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Olivia was the perfect van for exploring the South Island. My girlfriend and I were a bit skeptical about her size when bookingshes not a Sprinter-style vanbut I wanted something stealthy, not a giant green rig screaming tourist. Olivia delivered. Shes a newer van with about 50k kilometers, surprisingly comfortable bedding (we honestly slept better in her than at the Hermitage), and her smaller size was a blessing on those extremely windy days when everyone else was getting pushed around on the single-lane roads. The fuel efficiency was another big win. For reference, Im almost 63, and the bedding was still comfortable. The pillows were great, and having all the essentials in a self-contained vehicletoilet, sink, stovegave us peace of mind. The only adjustment was the drivers seat: it cant slide back very far because of the sink, so it felt a bit cramped for me at first. But after nearly 2,000 kilometers, I wouldnt change a thing. Lastly, Gilson is an incredibly kind, helpful, and easygoing host. Highly recommend booking Olivia.

We had a lovely trip! Well equipped van, easy to drive. Gilson was a great host, great communication and very flexible with pick up and drop off! Also, he provided us extra blankets as we were afraid to be too cold - it was amazing! Thank you Gilson!!

We had the best time exploring the South island of Aoteorea in this van!! It had everything we needed and Gilson was the most fantastic host; offering pick up and drop off which was seamless. We will 100% hire this van again when we come back to Queenstown!

Highly recommend plus a great hire for tall people. I'm 1.93m tall and most other vans have very short beds - not this one. I easily fit in this bed and was very comfortable. The van had great power and also diesel is MUCH cheaper in NZ compared to petrol, so it was cheaper to refuel. The fridge and amenities included worked well too.

Thanks to this amazing van, we had the best trip ever! The van is still quite new and very well-maintained, and we had no issues at all during the entire week. It had everything we needed for van life absolutely perfect. The owner, Gilson, was incredibly kind and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this van. Thank you so much for the unforgettable memories!

We had the van for 2 weeks and it was great! Easy to drive and ran well. Its very spacious inside so its great to eat around the table or play cards when the weather is bad. The kitchen had everything necessary and good fridge. The bed was comfy, perfect for two people. The van was clean aswell. Gilson was very easygoing and friendly. Delivered the van to our hotel and met us up at the airport later for drop off, very convenient. Recommend 10/10.

We loved this Van. Gilson was so helpful and accomodating. He delivered the Van to us in Queenstown and also dropped us to the airport when we returned the Van. 100% recommend hiring this Van. Very tidy and well set up, we had everything we needed. Thanks again Gilson!

We had the best 2 weeks travelling round the Fiordlands and Aspiring national park in Gilsons van. Right from the beginning he was super helpful, picked us up from the airport and even met us there at the end of the trip. Van is spacious and simple but perfect for two. Comfy bed, plenty of kitchen stuff and can be very cosy if the weather is bad. We will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend :)

The Voyager ran so well. We had no complications with the van. She was super clean and had everything you ever needed, including a drying rack and camp chairs. Gilson was an amazing host and we are thankful of his communication and time. Cannot wait to come back and use her again for our next NZ adventure. Also- ran super well on petrol. Couldnt recommend her enough!!
