New Zealand Frontiers

Jun 27th, 2021

We would highly recommend New Zealand Frontiers.Kenrick was responsive and informative from the beginning. He took time to properly walk us through the campervan and answer any questions we had throughout the entire rental period. We ended up being affected by the covid-19 lockdown in New Zealand and Kenrick was fair, flexible and accommodatingthroughout. We were very relieved to be dealing with a small business and a real person instead of a large company/chain.

Travelling New Zealand is a great experience. In particular using a sturdy and compact campervan like the one which we rented from New Zealand Frontiers. Kenrick, the owner of this small family business, offers a great and reliable service to his customers. Also, there are no hidden costs in his contract and a lot of things included like the Ferry to South Island. If you dont like the impersonal treat of big rental chains then New Zealand Frontiers is the right camper van rental for you. Starting from getting first information and finalizing the rental contract long months before our holiday to returning the van and closing the last contract obligations after our return from our holiday, Kenrick treats everything very professional, fast and accurate; not forgetting the family treat. He cares about everything himself. We did not have any significant trouble during our 4,200 km. The campervan was brought to our hotel in Auckland and we could choose what time we would like to return it; actually, we picked up Peter from Christchurch airport in the evening. Peter, also a very friendly guy, took over the campervan to be returned to Auckland. Having said this, you dont have to bring back the campervan to a return station. With New Zealand Frontiers everything is handled upon individual arrangements. We loved our little campervan of 5.5 meters length. The clock showed 300 tkm, by the van was running perfectly; as mentioned: Very sturdy. We are planning to come back to New Zealand. Of course, New Zealand Frontiers will be our first choice! Thank you very much to Kenrick and family!

Our first trip to New Zealand turned out to be an amazing adventure and a one-of-a-kind experience. Before we went, we had some doubts regarding travelling around NZ by camper van. Luckily, it turned out there was nothing to fear. We absolutely loved this way of travel and if we ever come back to NZ, we will do it again, and we will definitely go with New Zealand Frontiers (NZF). We looked at all rental companies and NZFs offer stood out as the most honest. Especially the insurance coverage prices seemed reasonable, unlike with other bigger brands. Weve done some research and read nothing but praise about Kenrick and his company, and their campers seemed perfect for a couple. We decided to ask for a quote and from the very first e-mail we received back, we knew we were dealing with a dedicated, experienced proffessional. New Zealand Frontiers owner Kenrick personally picked us up from Auckland airport and dropped us off when we were ready to head back home, which saves a lot of time. Kenrick answered all our questions as well as questions we did not even think to ask before we started our journey, he served some fresh coffee and took his time to go through most common road signs and NZ-specific traffic laws with us, as well as warned us a bit about common nuisances we could face in different parts of NZ (btw - dont go into west coast of Southern Island without a full tank and do not expect cellphone coverage outside few cities). NZF is much smaller than the other big brands in local campervan rental market, but we believe its one of their main strengths. Their fleet is small, but throughout our 3-week trip we had absolutely no issues with the campervan or any of its equipment. Although the vehicle itself was a few years old, it was equipped with brand new tires, was as clean as new and the diesel engine ran like new you could see that Kenrick takes great care of his fleet. We found it to be perfectly balanced between comfort and size - the bed was surprisingly comfortable, first time ever we did not miss our own bed at home. There was plenty of room and storage space inside a vehicle which was not much longer than standard station wagon or large sedan low fuel consumption and no problems with parking! We felt like it was made for a couple, we had everything we needed electricity was never an issue and weve never ran out of hot water. Whenever we had a question or required assistance, we knew we just had to call Kenrick and we got it immediately, no matter the time of day or day of the week, and always in a very proffessional manner it gave us peace of mind, we really felt we are being taken care of and could focus on exploring New Zealand. Even in case of a small fender-bender, Kenrick never lost his cool and made sure we are in good mood to continue our trip. We could not recommend New Zealand Frontiers enough, especially if you are a couple on your first trip to NZ you will definitely not regret it and probably you cant get a better deal or more proffessional help anyway.
