Extremely Disappointing Experience with…

Extremely Disappointing Experience with JUCY – Safety & Hygiene Concerns Ignored Unfortunately fell far below the standards we expected, especially having had a great experience hiring in the past. From the outset, the vehicle presented multiple serious issues: Rear Suspension: Constant squeaking that made us question the safety and roadworthiness of the van. Black Mould: There were visible mould stains and patches of black mould inside the vehicle. Completely unacceptable in any rental, and downright dangerous for my partner, who has a respiratory condition and is highly sensitive to mould. Rear Doors: Both rear doors were extremely difficult to open, adding to our frustrations. We contacted your after-hours support line on Day 1 and requested a vehicle swap. We were not advised that this was even an option, leaving us stuck with a substandard and potentially unsafe vehicle for the entire trip. When returning the van, we again raised our concerns and were told by your staff that we should be entitled to compensation. We’re still awaiting confirmation on this. They also mentioned that mould stains are to be expected in a vehicles in Cairns. This experience was both disappointing and unacceptable, not just due to the condition of the vehicle, but the lack of support we received during the hire. We sincerely hope JUCY takes this feedback seriously. We will not be hiring from JUCY again unless there is a clear improvement in vehicle maintenance, hygiene, and customer care.

Too stressful to enjoy our holiday

The vehicles available are in a shocking and unsafe condition. We had to change vehicle halfway through our trip and only receives a measly sum in compensation. We have since been charged for an AA call out with a dead battery. The battery had to be replaced two days after this callout. The mechanic, upon seeing the battery, highlighted that this was in fact the wrong battery for the vehicle! Please avoid!

A Near-Death Experience – Do NOT Rent from JUCY

We put our trust in JUCY when we hired a campervan for a winter trip through New Zealand, expecting a roadworthy vehicle that could handle the harsh seasonal conditions. What we got instead was a complete disaster that nearly cost us our lives. From day one, the van proved to be dangerously unfit for the road. We lost control multiple times on straight, de-iced roads — and it wasn’t just us. A local road worker pulled us aside to tell us flat out: this vehicle should never have been on the road. That’s not just disappointing — that’s criminal negligence. The mechanical and structural issues were endless: The roof leaked, soaking our bed and sleeping gear. The hose for draining grey water was broken, leaving us stuck with stagnant waste. The shower was completely non-functional. Worst of all: there was a GAS LEAK. That’s not just an inconvenience — that’s a serious, potentially deadly hazard. This wasn’t just a bad experience. It ruined our trip. We had no choice but to cut it short and return home early after what can only be described as a near-death experience. JUCY’s negligence, lack of maintenance, and disregard for customer safety is unacceptable. Do not trust JUCY with your safety or your holiday. They clearly do not inspect or care for their vehicles properly. This company is an absolute disgrace and should be held accountable before someone actually dies.

Overall avoid!

Pros - Cheapest big company van rental (but you get what you pay for), staff are friendly, with the extra insurance check out and in very easy and quick (in hindsight too quick didn't really tell us how to make the bed etc), they paid for a replacement gasmate bbq when ours broke, you can stand up in the van Cons - very poor build quality and space lay-out. The van is massive but they utilise the space so so poorly. No clothes storage. No bin. Gas BBQ is in a box you have to take out every time (unlike other vans we have rented where its just a pull out draw. Bed is a massive massive faff to make everything. It involves removing a 3 part table and then rearranging loads of cushions before putting a sheet on. Again other vans just utilise the space way way better!

I would never recommend it

In the car started popping up the oil signal and it had been three days until they swap it. Not only that, they made us come 12h and a half to their branch in Brisbane in a toll truck (which was bringing two more cars before, so it took ages to arrive in that more than unconfortable vehicle). It was insane! It’s really difficult getting in touch with them, even if you are in trouble, and the “help” they give you, it’s not the one that a serious company would give to anyone.

Alte Autos - sehr fehleranfällig

Während des Aufenthalts ist die Lichtmaschine des Wagens kaputt gegangen, sodass er für 2 komplette Tage genutzt werden konnte (ungefähr 10% der gesamten Mietdauer). Eine Alternativfahrzeug oder die Übernahme resultierender Transportkosten zu touristischen Zielen wurde nicht angeboten. Der Kundenservice ist sehr schwer erreichbar, oft wird nur das internationale After Hours Team erreicht, dass allerdings nicht helfen kann und auf einen Rückruf verweist. Insgesamt ein sehr schlechter Kundenservice, der den eigentlichen Break Down noch verschlimmert. Insgesamt sind die Autos sehr alt und man hört auch von anderen Fahrer*innen von Ausfällen und Problemen(grüne Autos-hoher Widererkennungswert) Die Ausstattung der Autos ist nicht auf den Winter ausgelegt (Obwohl Schneeketten dazugebucht wurden). Es gab Sommerreifen, keinen Eiskratzer und keinen Schwamm/Lappen für beschlagene Scheiben. All das wäre jedoch notwendig gewesen. Die Reifen des ersten Autos waren so abgefahren, dass die Annahme verweigert wurde. Der Gaskocher ist nicht für tiefe Temperaturen ausgelegt, ab ungefähr 0° C, insbesondere morgens/nach längerer Standzeit ist der Druck der Gasflasche nicht mehr ausreichend, um Wasser zu erhitzen. Wintergasflaschen im notwendigen Format habe ich nicht gefunden. Eine Tür-LED hat willkürlich geleuchtet und geflackert, auch wenn der Schalter aus und alle Türen geschlossen waren. (Vermutlich ein Pfusch im Bordnetz). Dies ist insbesondere nachts sehr nervig, da die LED direkt über dem Kopf ist. An der Tür, ebenfalls direkt am Bett, gab es Schimmelspuren. Einziger Lichtblick: Netter Staff vorort und einfache Übernahme und Abgabe des Fahrzeugs. (Bei hohem Aufkommen kann es etwas(1h) dauern, aber alles im Rahmen. Unbedingt die Temperatur des Kühlschranks checken. Bei mir stand er auf -17°C und hat in der ersten Nacht die Batterie leergezogen und das Gemüse durchgefroren)

Definitely Recommend

Service from the team was exceptional. Any questions I had, they answered without hesitation. Shuttle to the airport after drop off was incredible! Niko the shuttle driver was phenomenal and very very friendly! Highly recommend JUCY Christchurch! :)

Do not use this company

Do not use this company! Their emergency service to help with any broken down vehicles is useless, when our RV broke down it took a day for the new RV to arrive, and they refuse to pay us the money for an overnight hotel stay despite full insurance with them and telling us over the phone that they’d cover any hotel fares. After dropping off said RV, they also didn’t provide any duvets or deck chairs. Overall, the service here is very poor and the vehicles are barely road legal.
