Spaceships Rentals Auckland

Awesome size for 2 people comfortable seats and ok fuel usage.Only down side was the pillows they were a nit soft and only one each-extra pillows would be good other than that was mintAfter hrs pickup and drop off was great also

The vehicle itself was perfect for 2. Had a couple of issues with the battery and the car not starting- we had done nothing to run the battery down, as fridge can be left on, when we called spaceships for help they were very useful but had said it would cost us for a call out despite paying for full coverage. 20 min later we tried turning it on again and it worked fine- this happened twice. Also had paid for chairs and table that were not given to us in pick up- luckily we were doing a loop in the first few days that allowed us to return to auckland to pick up but can imagine this would be annoying if not. Car began to beep for a few minutes every time it was locked, doors swapped from automatic to manual and fridge turned itself off a few times but all in all was good. We were a bit shocked to find out that the vehicle had to be returned having had a car wash and interior hoovered to avoid a $150 cleaning fee... called to ask how clean etc and was told rubbish free and hoovered and get a car wash.... i can understand rubbish free but we struggled to hoover as we were not equipped- not sure if this is unusual but seemed a bit unnecessary. Overall it was just fine for our 6 week road trip.

Well used cars but very well maintained. Haven’t had any issues on the road, able to fully enjoy our NZ trip. Contactless Pickup and drop off is was very easy and instruction mail was very clear. Friendly staff, easy reachable by phone and responded very quick to our emails. Also very satisfied with how they arranged the ferry tickets for the southern island and transfer to the airport. I would therefore definitely recommend spaceships.

Mixed feelings - rented a beta 2s for 47 days drove across north and South Island and the car did not break down, the bed is pretty comfy, the fridge kept things ice cold and lasted for 24hours without driving less time if charging phones etc, the chairs and table add ons were good, the Bluetooth audio worked well, and the bed/bedding was pretty comfy we drove in March/April and it did get pretty cold some nights but with the limited space in the car I’m glad we did not get the winter warmer pack it’s better to just sleep in a thermal.nnAir conditioning worked well.nnThere’s a big storage space under the bed which we could fit our suitcase in and lock.nnThe negatives:nThe pick up process - we had scheduled a pick up and tour of the car at 10am, when we arrived there was only one staff member helping people and a queue of people waiting. We did not receive the contactless check in email so we could not pick up our keys despite checking in online, we waited 20mins for the staff to be free just to be told that are car was not ready yet so we had to wait a further 30mins when we finally got our keys by this time there was quite a few others still waiting to be shown the car so they ended up just handing us the keys after we had waited almost an hour and then giving us no tour of the vehicle as they carried on with the people waiting behind us.nnThe car itself was not very clean, all the glove compartments were gross and full of dirt/dust etcnnOne of the most annoying issues was the doors, obviously the car is very small and there’s no space to stand and sort things with you in the vehicle and the doors shut, so you have to do everything with the doors open and stood outside which would be fine except that 3 out of 4 of our doors did not ‘click into place’ to stay open, if we were on any slight incline or any wind 3 of the doors would just constantly slam or slide shut on us. It was so annoying and made everything more difficult, when you pay a couple thousand £ to rent a car you would hope that it wouldn’t have an issue like this.nnThe curtains kept falling down from the roof.nnThe front glove compartment box kept falling down.nnOne of the backseat pockets had been ripped off so we only had the one, and when there basically no easily accessible storage space but these back pockets again it was very annoying.nnThe car guzzled fuel, did not do 600km per tank as it says.nnWe had a weird back mirror thing sticking out on the back windscreen, this meant the car awning did not fit over the back without leaving large holes. We had no idea what was normal as the 15second tutorial video on using the awning was so rubbish completly skipped any instruction on how to put it up, but when our friends joined us in their spaceships we realised that it was because of this large weird mirror thing sticking out that the awning did not fit none of the other ospaceships had this mirror thing - I feel like we just had an especially old model.nnThey give a lot of kitchen equipment but this leaves you with little to no space to actually store food. We ended up not needed about half the stuff we had in there so it would be good to have an option to leave stuff behind.nnAll 3 spaceships me and my friends rented none of the tin openers worked.nnOne of the gas hobs did not work.nnEvery morning even if we kept the windows a bit open all the car windows would be soaking wet in the morning, so much condensation.nnOne of our pillows was so old it was completely yellow when we took off the pillowcase to wash it.nnObviously we had a great time in our spaceship, but when you pay a lot to rent a very old high mileage car you would hope they would fix all these little issues, especially those annoying doors!!!

Hired the dreamsleeper mini for 5 days and it was great, well scuffed and scratched but I didn't mind that because less stress than a brand new car you're nervous about any possible scratch. We chose spaceships because they allow after hours drop off so can maximise our short holiday. Others require drop off by 4pm so last day of holiday is kind of wasted.nnThe quilt is only summer weight we luckily took two down sleeping bags with us and were still cold in late April so make sure you bring or buy appropriate bedding. Also the headlights are like two pathetic candles and it made night driving close to impossible without high beams on. Also the two butane cookers are very handy for putting on picnic tables but they don't work in cold conditions so you might need an alternative stove like a jetboil in winter. In mornings late April we had to make sure canister was in sun and swap them regularly as they cooled down in use.nnThe mini is naturally small and the front seats rotate around to become the end of the bed so a fair bit of luggage juggling required but we only had a short trip so worked well for us.nnHandy USB ports each side of bed for charging phones and it was very easy to drive and park compared to big campers. I'd definitely hire again.
