Flavia Eugenia 5.0I had an amazing 8-day roadtrip with Buddy! The van has everything you need for a comfortable trip. It's very easy to drive, it has all the tools for cooking, including a table and camping chairs, and the mattress is super comfy. Rodd is one of the nicest people Ive met. He picked me up from the airport, took the time to explain everything, shared helpful tips and apps to download for the trip, and made himself available in case I needed anything - which I didnt, because everything went incredibly smoothly. If youre thinking about doing a road trip in NZ, you should definitely rent Buddy! It will be an adventure of a lifetime - the south island is stunning!
Joseph 5.0As seasoned road trippers, weve used a fair few campers now and Buddy has quite easily been our favourite so far. Third van of this trip and the only one where everything just worked. Good storage, brilliant layout and nothing crammed in taking up space without a use. Rodd is amazing - builds the vans himself and it shows in the little details. Very responsive if you need anything before / during the booking. He also kindly helped with pick up and dropped us exactly where we needed to be after which made life very easy. The bed fit us for two adults. Im 62 and slept comfortably for 2 weeks. If youre taller it might be tight but for most people its ideal. It handles really well on mountain roads, cruise control is great on longer drives and having Bluetooth makes the road trips better. We had a great time in Buddy and would happily book with Rodd again. Already recommended to friends planning a South Island trip.

Thomas 5.0We had a really good time exploring the South Island with Buddy. It is quite a fuel efficient van with decent storage underneath the bed. Rodd has been very accommodating as well and picked us up from the airport despite our very late flight. The van is certified self-contained which made it easy to get into any of the campgrounds.
