    Ben's campervan was great means of tranport in New Zealand. Comunication with Ben was clear, we met at the airport and he explained us all things related to operating vehicle and also provide some usefull tips driving in New Zealand. Car itself was clean and without any faults, driving this car was great. We also used in board navigation. Car provided lot of space for two persons with all accesories for camping like foldable chairs and table, cutlery, pan, pot and portable gas stove and fridge. We absolutely recomend Ben and his campervan.

    We had a great week in Bens van touring around the South Island. We found that it was the perfect amount of space for two people and the size of the van makes is so handy for driving and parking. Ben was fantastic to communicate with and we would definitely rent the Happy Camper again!

    I rented a van from Ben and couldnt be happier with the experience. From the very first moment, Ben was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The van itself was in excellent condition and offered outstanding facilities spacious, comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for an easy and enjoyable trip. You can really feel the care and effort that went into maintaining the vehicle and ensuring a high standard of comfort. Ben was always available, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend renting from him to anyone looking for reliability, comfort, and truly great service.
