We are a retired American couple traveling in New Zealand for three months. We prefer to travel in a camper van, since that is what we have in the US. We originally wanted to rent the Mad Tracker truck camper but they were all booked, so we went with their Mad Explorer. Overall it is a very nice camper van and super easy to drive around on the North Island and get into campsites as well as parking lots. We liked that it had a fixed bed and the large garage space under the bed. It had plenty of storage for food and clothing throughout the living space. It’s equipped with an inverter, solar panels and the battery charges while driving, so power was never a problem for us. The only negatives was the layout of the wet bath which had the vehicle wheel inside which made it hard to use the cassette toilet. Other negatives was the height of the bed made it hard to get into for short people, so we ended up buying a step stool to aide my wife getting in and out. The last negative was the LDV chassis had uncomfortable seats for long drives. Overall we enjoyed our time in the van. Mad Campers personnel in Auckland were super responsive and gave us a very good orientation of the van at pickup. We now have a booking for their Mad Tracker on the South Island, so we will get to compare the two models. I would definitely recommend Mad Campers for your Kiwi adventures.
We rented a Mad Campers Mad Explorer van recently and had a fantastic trip in it!! This van is an LDV-9- basically a copy of a Ford Transit that we own in California. This van has a diesel motor which makes driving the 3100 km much more economical than a petrol-powered van.nnWe saw mostly the big Maui Class B/C campers on our trip and being less-is-more types we had no regrets with the Mad Explorer as it was easier to drive and park and got great fuel economy.nnThe Mad Explorer has a large lithium battery pack with inverter and solar panel. In our three weeks in this van we never plugged in and used the inverter for the induction cooktop every morning to make coffee. We also used it for the hot water tank for showers & used it also for the air fryer which was a nice appliance to have!nnMad Campers extended our original two week reservation by juggling other bookings and allowed us to have it another week which was fantastic!nnWe made zero reservations as this is our camping style back home as well. For us, it kills the serendipity factor and we've never had a problem- especially in NZ with all the Freedom camping sites as well as the Gov't Conservation sites. The private owned campgrounds put the KOA's of the US to shame!nnLastly- & I probably shouldn't say this: we left an item in the van in haste after ordering our Uber and Mad Campers delivered it to our hotel in Christchurch. Thank you!!nnRoss HightowernLos Osos, CA
We a couple had an amazing trip with Mad Campers and can definitely recommend them for your Campervan adventure in NZ. We rented the „Mad Explorer“ for three weeks and did a relocation from Christchurch to Auckland.nnThe Campervan has everything you need for your roadtrip, the power of the battery is excellent and we stayed every night on Freedom Camping spots. You have a big solar panel on the roof, so you never run out of battery. The battery is strong enough to cook and plug-in an Airfryer and heater.nnThe customer service during pick-up, drop-off and even on the road is excellent: The Mad Campers crew is very supportive, solution-oriented, easy going and responding fast e-mail and phone.nnThere is only one thing we have missed: a go-through cabin. You cannot enter the rear of the van through the driver‘s cabin.nnValue for money is great at Mad Campers.nnThank you Mad Campers for everything - we made once-in-a-lifetime-experiences with you :
Dear MAD Camper Team, we were extremely satisfied. The handover was uncomplicated and friendly, the camper was clean and well-equipped, and the additional rented electric heater was helpful on cold nights. We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much, Birgitta & Volker
A Life-Changing First Campervan ExperiencennI knew absolutely nothing about camping, campervans, or road trips before this adventure. It was pure coincidence that I came across a review of Mad Campers online—but what convinced me to book with them was the consistent praise for their customer service and client interactions. And I can wholeheartedly confirm it’s all true.nnFrom the very first contact, the experience was smooth and personal. Connor at the Auckland office and Jess in Christchurch were both fantastic. Jess especially went above and beyond—we had a wonderful conversation about how to make the most of my trip, and she couldn’t have been more spot on. Meeting her in person was the cherry on top. She clearly loves what she does, and she knew Poppie that’s what I named my NoMAD van inside and out.nnAs for the van itself—we clicked the moment I sat in the driver’s seat. It felt reliable, safe, and I trusted it instantly. From Christchurch to Auckland, Poppie and I were true road partners. I didn’t have a single issue—just the best time of my life. I even managed to fit my folding bike inside without compromising on space!nnThe setup was clever, comfortable, and designed with freedom in mind. That’s exactly what I got: the pure definition of freedom. If you’re reading this and wondering whether to go with Mad Campers—do it. This is a local Kiwi company full of passionate people, offering vans with smart features that get you wherever your heart desires. Along the way, you definitely spark conversations with strangers Poppie is a head-turner, create unforgettable memories, and maybe even make a few new friends.
