Maui is highly recommended. New vehicles, fully equipped and beds in which you can sleep very well. Toilet top, kitchen ok. And a little more comfort can't hurt, especially on longer trips, longer holidays...

Simple, fast booking. We were always reliably informed before and during the trip.

A lot of money for not even average performance: We had to return the first car after 5 minutes because the lane was out of alignment and the car kept pulling hard to the left. After we had to explain that we had NOT driven into/across something and spent a total of 3 hours at the station, we were finally able to drive off with a new trolley. In the second one, the drawers didn't hold due to a lack of screws, the fan heater was faulty and the water pump was extremely loud, which kept making itself heard at night and waking us up. Unfortunately, we only realised this in the evening after a few hours of driving, so we had to make do without a fan heater until Queenstown. The drawers were 'repaired' in Queenstown, which lasted exactly two turns, and we had to live with the water pump until the end. After we found the previous tenant's report in the car, we knew that these problems had already been reported but not fixed. This has a flavour.

You can always do better, but in this case it was difficult to do anything other than lower the price a little.

If we were to travel to New Zealand a second time, thl would definitely be the last company we would rent a motorhome from. The vehicle was in a desolate condition, both technically and visually, so we wondered whether it had even been checked before handover. The battery was broken, the drain was blocked, the city newspaper didn't work, the water tank was leaking and it smelled of rotten eggs. This is how customers are sent on a journey for 6 1/2 weeks and at a price that is quite something.

Apollo was top notch at every step. We were so incredibly pleased with our rental experience. We will definitely rent from Apollo again. A special thanks to the office staff at the Christchurch Airport location. They made the check out and check in process so smooth and they were so helpful and friendly. Thank you again, Apollo. See you next time.

Hello, We drove the Jucy Crib for three weeks and the comfort left a lot to be desired. The car was simply very old and had already clocked up over 400,000 kilometres. We were therefore not satisfied with this vehicle. The automatic windows had to be repaired by me, the radio key didn't work properly either, the driver's door and the right-hand sliding door had to be opened and locked manually. The sliding doors were also very sluggish, the small fridge didn't cool properly and was very noisy. I would not take this car again.

Simple and efficient rental: pick up in Christchurch and drop off in Queenstown, very practical! Good value for money, a bit expensive!
Translated automatically -
We waited almost 4 hours for the vehicle, even though we had pre-booked a pick-up time online. The Jucy team in Christchurch was totally overwhelmed. The vehicle was dirty inside. Leftover food on the tables, cups that hadn't been washed, the sink didn't drain, very dirty upholstery, the electrics had a loose connection,...

The vehicles are not checked. Dirty when taken over. Old vehicle with many defects. Expired gas bottle that could no longer be used. It rained into the camper

Perfect sized campervan!! Well designed for 2 adults traveling. Lots of storage compartments for food and personal belongings. Comfortable sleeping as well. Seat cushions are starting to show a little wear, but still comfortable.
Our car was probably at the end of its life cycle. The living room and kitchen were very worn and partly dirty. The exhibition was also rather inferior.

All in all, it was a great camper. Unfortunately a bit old and not so clean.

Helpful tips for your trip to Christchurch
When you book a campervan for hire in Christchurch, the best time to visit the area is between March and May because then you get the best mix of autumnal colours, pleasant weather conditions, and not too many tourists and crowds.
- Outdoor activities
It is best to visit Christchurch, like much of New Zealand, during summer from December to March if you plan on doing many outdoor activities. The days are much longer and brighter, and temperatures range between 16 and 24 degrees.
- Hiking
Unless you want to hike in the summer, we recommend you aim to rent a campervan in Christchurch during spring, sometime between September and November, as the temperatures are milder without being too cold or rainy.
- Beach holidays
If you intend on spending a lot of time at the beach, it is best to rent a motorhome in Christchurch during summer. Be aware that this is also the busiest time of the year for the beaches, so you will have to cope with more people than at other times.

For a romantic trip for two exploring Christchurch and other cities nearby, a smaller motorhome is just right. Discover our selection of vehicles for two people and explore together.

Best campervan driving routes from Christchurch
Christchurch to Queenstown
The best way to use your motorhome rental in Christchurch is to take advantage of the many beautiful driving routes you can try. Below are a few of the most popular to consider for your trip.
Christchurch to Queenstown
When you are short on time and want to try and experience as much of the impressive South Island as possible, take a short route from Christchurch to Queenstown. Start the route in Greymouth, a little seaside town, then travel southwards along NZ’s rugged coastline, stopping at the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers, marvelling at their majesty before travelling down through the mountains towards Queenstown. This entire part of the South Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so every bend, corner, turn, ascent and descent will allow you to be in awe of nature.
Christchurch South Loop
If you have more time to explore the South Island thoroughly, take the Christchurch South Loop. Enjoy the rich variety in the passing land, from rugged coast to windy, pristine beaches and then glaciers and mountains. Look out for Lake Tekapo and the Southern Alps as key parts of this journey.
Christchurch North Loop
What about a journey that takes you through more winding roads and introduces you to more of the wildlife NZ is famous for and its wine? From Christchurch, head along the northern loop, taking in the seafood cuisine delights of Kaikoura, the very northernmost tip of the South Island, Marlborough Sounds, and make sure you visit Nelson Lake before going on an adventure around Abel Tasman National Park.
Sites of interest and excursions in Christchurch
Arthur’s Pass National Park, South Island
Arthur’s Pass National Park was the first in South Island when it opened in 1929. It covers around 1,185 square kilometres of predominately mountainous terrain. You will find exciting animals like Who, Kakariki Karaka, Kea, Great Spotted Kiwi and Weka.
Banks Peninsula, Christchurch
This beach has been there for over 6 million years, when two volcanoes violently erupted, and the resulting craters became the harbours of Akaroa and Lyttelton. The entire part of the coast covers around 1,150 square kilometres. There are several bays across Banks Peninsula where you can stop to worship the sun, catch a tan, or participate in various water-based activities.
