"After doing some research into motorhomes, I came across the New Zealand Frontiers reviews. They were all positive and ranked higher than most well-known companies, so I checked out the website. It's very informative, no nonsense information. The initial contact requesting some additional info and a personalized quote went smooth as a feather. Turned out New Zealand Frontiers doesn't charge the apparent BS Diesel Tax, but do include unlimited miles, a Navman and a Kruse ( - like having a personal guide with you) for free. So after receiving a very competitive quote, I decided to go ahead and rent a van for 23 days in total. The company is run as a one-man operation by the owner, Kenrick. Very likable fellow who really knows what he's doing, and loves what he's doing. Upon arriving in Auckland, he will pick you up in the van from your hotel and take you back to the depot where the van and its functions are explained to you in detail. The van itself is kept in tip-top condition (Kenrick owns a total of six vans, he told me this way he could keep them in great shape) and is well laid out. Everything works, and is very straightforward. The van itself is a Ford Transit and was in perfect working order. I toured both islands for over three weeks and the van was just perfect. It didn't flinch once. Upon returning to the depot we had a nice chat about the holiday I just enjoyed and I was debriefed on the van's performance and taken back to my Auckland hotel. Kenrick knows how to run his business and customer satisfaction is a key element in it, and it shows. Very enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting beautiful New Zealand. When I go back, I'll go with New Zealand Frontiers, no doubt!"
