    Our first campervan touring experience and we had a really great time exploring the beautiful landscapes of south island in Olis very reliable van, highly recommended to book. The car had so much more facilitation than we expected like portable solar panels that were so much useful each morning to charge multiple phones at the same time. The sun reflector came very handy for wherever we parked in sun for long of woke up late. I had doubts that the van will be smaller for my partner ( who is 6 feet ) but still took it for easy maneuvering, To our surprise it had all the space for two of us to comfortably sleep. Thanks to clever side fitting of the sink/tanks unlike some similar sized cars with back fitted configurations which we observed during our trips. So even if you are 6ish tall book with full confidence. The van never gave us any trouble in the 2000+ km trip. It started with one push on the button and everytime drove like a charm with good stability even at 110kmpl on highways. Once we had a little hiccup where a right part of the rear bumper hung loose but we pulled over and my partner pushed on the clip system and it was good for the rest of the trip. It efficiency is 12 -14 kmpl which is very good for its weight. The van has so many glove boxes/ storage space that you keep discovering for first few days, one cannot resist appreciating japenese forward thinking on functionality. Being from 2006 -2007, the car music system will need aux to plug in music just in case you are savvy on it. We had a portable speaker so never tried it. Oli has furnished car with very good 4 inches mattress, the blankets and duvet were pleasantly warm and there were 2 bedsheets with the whole set. The van is optimally equipped with a 2 kg cooking gas bottle that gives 10-12 hrs of cooking time on single burner which is quite a lot but still keeping a note of places where you can refill it will be handy as there aren't too many places, most stations do swapable 9kg ones. We refilled it once in mid trip in cromwell and we were fine for the whole 2 weeks trip. Some good practices for all renters- If you are charging any device by keeping ignition on but the engine off, never forget to unplug the portable fridge first else you risk discharging the battery level below what's required to start the car. Accidently don't stuff things near fridge's air mesh, otherwise it's efficiency decreases. A lot of campsite doesn't get sealed tar road to the very end and its advisable to drive very slow on them as ultimately it's a van with added weight to it. We noticed a lot of traveller heating up their cars parked with engine running on. Thought NZ is pretty windy place, that's still a gamble with life as CO is a very cheeky gas. We had best of our time in this lovely van and will be surely be booking again on our return to this beautiful country. Highly recommend to book from oli for your memorable south island trip. Love from India Apoorva and Sarvagya.

    I had the best time in Oli's #7 van! It was the perfect vehicle for exploring the beautiful New Zealand countryside. It was comfortable to drive, spacious, and I felt extremely safe and secure throughout my trip. Oli and his son Toby were incredibly accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. This was my first solo camping trip, so I was a bit nervous, but they provided all the information and advice I needed for an excellent experience. During my stay, there was a weather warning, and I really appreciated that Oli reached out to give me a heads-up since I hadnt been watching the news. His response time to messages was impressively fast, and the cherry on top was being able to arrange a drop-off in Dunedin, which saved me so much time at the end of my trip. Highly recommend Olis vans for anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and well-supported adventure in New Zealand!

    I had a great time in Olis car camper, I went in the end of April so it got a bit chilly but otherwise a really smooth and enjoyable adventure.

    Oli's van is nice to drive and really convenient, with all useful amenities. Oli replied quickly to all my questions. I recommend his van for your next trip! Only small downside is the fridge, which needs to be plugged to cool down (which was working only when we were driving). We used it at the end more as a cooler with packs of ice, than a proper fridge. Other than that everything was working perfectly!
