Mighty Campers Christchurch

Amazing service. Great pricing.van was nice warm and tidy would absolutely not hesitate to hire again

It was our first camper van experience. While researching different companies, Mighty had a very competitive rate on an awesome 2/3 berth Mercedes Sprinter in comparison to other companies with smaller Toyota Hiaces. We booked for 10 days. The van was clean and in great condition. The van was big on the inside and very easy for 2 adults to stay in.After some fault finding we found that the power cable did not work on the first night. We borrowed a spare from the site we stayed at. After contacting customer service a new power cable was arranged for us after our second stop. It was made available sooner but our itinerary was a bit full to collect it. The steering also felt like it was pulling a bit strongly to the left. It was not an issue in towns and winding roads but it was quite noticeable on longer open roads. I was made aware that vans are set up to pull slightly to the left as NZ is a country where we drive on the left hand side of the road and many tourists are accustomed to driving on the right hand side. Customer service were fantastic about this and arranged a wheel alignment to be done at our soonest availability. It made a small difference to the alignment.I would 100% recommend renting a Merc Sprinter from Mighty. The staff are all great and very helpful and the vehicle we had really allowed for us to experience the NZ South Island to the fullest.

Rented last year for 4 days and it went pretty well so splashed out this year for 12 days and got mixed feelings. We had 6 berth Marcedes, 2 adults and 2 small kids. While the experience itself is great and it is good feeling to have your own living room, kitchen and bathroom on wheels, I would strongly recommend to thoroughly check the vehicle before driving off from site and if you encounter any trouble during your trip keep pestering the THL callcentre.I guess that Covid is taking toll on ageing fleet so there is a lot of faulty bits needing service.Our car had faulty battery which left us in the middle on nowhere waiting 3 hours for road service to start us up. Unnecessary wait was caused by member of THL staff which forgot to book the AA for us and did so only after calling them 3 times over...It wasnt possible to change battery as apparently they dont readily stock them on WestCoast or available garages had holiday. Not wanting to compromise our timeframe we opted out to keep battery alive with frequent charging on idle. Another lovely feature was faulty fridge which kept freezing our food and heated the kitchen bench so much that I was worried it might cause the fire. Lowest setting and turning it off overnight was must but not the best for food safety. Unlike the van from last year this one was far from mosquito/sandfly proof due to gaps and holes in mesh door and stupid construction of roof windows. We had to plug everything with paper towels and keep it that way for the rest of journey. One set of tires was barely legal while rest almost new, why?! Fresh water tank had faulty breather so once it was about 3/4 full it kept spitting water out so impossible to fill up completely. Top that with ripped seat, missing plastic guards in interior and terribly squeaky door I had to oil myself. All that for over $5000. Refund for our troubles -> $50. I dont think this business will have my money next year...

Fab Way to See Our BackyardMy family (My Dad, Youngest son, Niece and I) went from Canterbury to Cape Reinga and back.It was so handy to be able to stop and make a cuppa, cook lunch or a quick toilet break without any facilitities nearby.Only suggestion I would have would be to have the tools to open the battery and jumper cables. As leaving ones lights on for an hour in an isolated place (no cell service etc) was unfortunate. Luckily we were Saved" by someone that had the tools required.The making of the beds didnt create too much havoc although we did have some arguments over it. :-)I enjoyed driving the Mighty 6 it felt like a small car with a huge back end....It inspired me to think about the ability to own one myself in the future. I have a small 2 berth camper and a 4 berth Caravan

We were in a Mighty Double DownWe did not anticipate renting this Campervan as our Campervan broker switched vehicles on us at the last minute (that's another story). Regardless, we were in this for 3 weeks, family of 4. Everything was good. One stove burner was not working. We called about that and they told us the whole stove needed to be replaced. They offered too reimburse for a camp stove we would buy, but we really did not need it. Every camper park we went to had kitchen. It wasn't that big of a deal, just would of been nice to have a fully working Campervan. It was clean and decent. Pretty loud when driving it though, couldn't really carry a good conversation. We still enjoyed our vacation.

Amazing 10 day trip in the South Island of NZ in out Mighty camper!! Pick up and drop off was so easy, I would definitely recommend paying for the Express Return Package and full insurance coverage for peace of mind, and at the end of our adventure trip we were definitely too tired to give the van a full clean. The camper was so clean and well maintained with absolutely everything we needed for our stay. The South Island is so accommodating to camper travel, I really think is the best way to see it! Thank you Mighty Campers our trip was perfect, exceeded all expectations. We travelled in the Mighty Deus Plus with 3 adults.

The van was not the newest in the fleet at 270000Km however everything did work satisfactorily. Pick up in Queenstown was straight foreword and walking distance from airport. Return at Christchurch was good. Mighty when dealing directly with the Mighty office staff ,not the booking agency, where vary helpful in overcoming difficulties with the van we hired in the North Island but due State of Emergency and other disasters ,with island ferries, allowed us to change plans and vans from our original plan of having just the one van for both islands.Top marks for Mighty head office for customer satisfaction.The north island van hot water system did function ,however in my case we never had to rely on except for the days we were lock ed up in Napier due to National State of Emergency flood damage . The van camp and the rest of Napier too had no power and no hot water. Did not enjoy the cold showers for those few days. Plans of mice and men.......

We had a great time traveling around the South Island of NZ in our camper, in our opinion the best way to see the country. We found our camper in good working order, a bit worn out for a camper but considering the age it served us well. Our camper didn’t have a masher and peeler for mashed spuds but apart from that all the amenities were good.

this was our first exerience with camper vanning. We werent picked up at airport as was booked or stated, but after that, it improved. Except on day 2 when we had trouble with the waste water pipe - it broke. We hdnt used the loo or shower at all. We rang Mighty Britz, they told us to come in, they quickly fixed it, while we waited but we had a huge bill to pay. We were not aware of damaging this pipe in any way nor had we used the equipment at that stage. But overall the experience was easy to drive, friendly staff and helpful. We had a 6 berth, woudnt want any more people in it than 3. Return and shuttle to airport all good.

Pick Up of the Van took more than one hour even after I prepared everything I need to prepare beforehand. Staff was very friendly during Pick up and Dropp Off. Car was looking to the kilometers it already made in a good condition. Car was working fine, minor issues could be fixed by site staff. Overall a nice experience. Improve Pick Up speed and then I would give you one star more.
