Reviews from life on the road…

  • A white off-road vehicle with a spare tire mounted on the back, parked in a mountainous area with steep, rocky cliffs on either side. The vehicle has a roof rack and website URL on the back window. There is a person standing beside the vehicle wearing outdoor gear, and the sky is cloudy and overcast.

    The Wild Rovers are great! Cannot recommend this experience enough. I rented Sunny and he did not skip a beat. Set up was done in a matter of minutes and had everything I needed for my 12 day trip around the South Island. The communication with Andie was above and beyond. Can’t wait to go back down to the South Island and get in touch with Wild Rovers again.

    We have just come from a week with Rocky at Wild Rovers. Absolutely awesome experience. Even the Kea’s liked Rocky more than any other car on the way to Milford Sound! The 4wd never missed a beat and it was such fun to be driving manual again. Can’t recommend more highly!

    We had a fantastic experience hiring Rocky from The Wild Rovers for the past 2 weeks. Everything you need for rugged exploration and camping is meticulously packed. The Felden rooftop tent is very comfy, and kept us dry during multiple nights in the rain, and the Defender itself was so much fun to get around in. It had endless character and charm that you just don't get with normie rentals. 10/10 would hire again.

    We rented Sunny the Land Rover from Andie at The Wild Rovers, and we had the most wonderful time exploring Queenstown and the South Island! Andie was so lovely and answered any questions we had and was very quick to respond to our messages. Sunny had all of the camping gear you might need, meaning that we could just focus on having fun! Definitely book with the Wild Rovers for your next South Island adventure!

    Unbelievable trip/journey. Andie and Craig have done an amazing job kitting Rocky out with everything. All the gear was robust, intuitive and very useful! They thought of everything. The car drove well and everything was seamless. Was a dream setup and an amazing vacation. The best way to see the south island highly recommend.

    We loved our few days away in the Land Rover! The set up was great and had everything you needed. The tent was very easy to pop out and set up. Craig was also lovely and showed us everything before we headed off. Headed up to Mount cook and back. With some epic photos in the rover. Would absolutely hire again!

    Absolutely amazing week in Rocky! From booking to drop off communication was spot on and Andie could not have been a more helpful and thoughtful host! Rocky was kitted out with everything you needed, we had so much fun and will definitely be back.

    We rented Rocky the Defender from Wild Rovers and it truly was the best rental car experience we’ve ever had. The Defender was simply amazing—such a fun and clearly well-cared for vehicle with extremely high quality upgrades. The business owner Andie was also extraordinarily responsive, stocking the Defender with everything we needed (table, chairs, silverware, etc.) and even suggesting a perfect spot for an afternoon picnic with our kids. Just a perfect experience that we’ll always remember and hope to do again some day; if you’re looking for the best rental vehicle in Queenstown this is it!

    We had the best time with Sunny! Andie was so accommodating, and was very quick to respond to any enquiries that we had. We would absolutely recommend booking with Andie and The Wild Rovers. The car was also fully stocked with all of the camping equipment you might need, everything was taken care of. We have the best memories from our time in Queenstown with Sunny.
