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!

Rent a Dent??

See previous comment. Your staff did, after some discussion, switch us to another vehicle that had only done 200,000km, but it too has suffered some hardship over its life.

Merci Jucy !!!!

J'ai loué un camper van Crib+ pendant environ 2 semaines, et ça s'est relativement bien passé ! En fait au début quand j'ai eu le camper van, quelques dizaines de minutes après, je me rends compte que je devais pencher le volant vers la droite pour que le véhicule aille tout droit ! J'avais déjà pas mal de route à faire, bref je m'étais dit que si ils m'avaient donné le véhicule de la sorte, c'est ça devait aller ! Finalement au bout de 3 ou 4 jours, je me décide de les contacter, et ils me disent que je peux l'amener à un garagiste, et qu'ils me rembourseront la facture. Je n'ai pas voulu et j'étais pas loin de Queenstown où ils ont aussi une agence, donc je l'ai amené là bas, ils l'ont inspecté sans attendre, et ils m'ont proposé 3 solutions : la 1ère, celle initiale, la seconde, qu'ils vont faire les réparations et ils me le rendent, et la 3ème, ils me donnent tout de suite un autre véhicule. J'ai opté pour la 3ème option ! Ça a duré au total environ 2h, et ils m'ont en plus remboursé une journée de location !! Donc bon, j'étais quand même content !! Je prends le nouveau véhicule et 30 minutes plus tard environ, je me rends compte que ça ne sentait pas bon du tout. Bref, encore une autre histoire mais je m'étais dit tant pis, je ne vais pas faire demi tour déjà ! Bon, j'ai du dormir les portes du van ouvertes, et c'est ainsi. J'ai quand même fait une superbe expérience dans la nuit, de sentir l'air pénétrer le van et de ressentir l'air, c'était génial !!! Comme quoi, dans des situations pas géniales de prime abord, ça permet l'émergence d'autres expériences fabuleuses !!! Bref, le jour où je devais rendre le van, pour 10h du mat, je me rends compte la veille au soir que je voulais faire quelque chose de super important le lendemain. J'appelle le lendemain matin Jucy, et je leur en parle, et je leur demande si je peux le rendre plus tard ! Ils m'ont dit que d'accord, que je peux le ramener au plus tard pour 15h. OH WOW J'ÉTAIS TROP CONTENT !!!! Donc MERCIII !!!! VRAIMENT MERCI JUCY !!!!!! ✨✨✨ Donc voilà et je n'ai pas eu à payer de supplément !!! Dans l'ensemble j'étais quand même satisfait, ce fut de superbes expériences !!!!! Merci vraiment encore merci !!!!

Dodgy

Even with stress free if paying by debit card your slung with a 300 bond. Entirely dodgy and unfair.

The staff were very friendly and…yes

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The car was not fancy but very dependable. We travelled approximately 2000kms with only on incident being a flat tyre. I would recommend Jucy to anyone as they are well serviced throughout Australia and in Our Instance Queensalnd

Absolutely awful experience with Jucy

Absolutely awful experience with Jucy. Wish I had read the reviews beforehand. If you are considering renting a camper in NZ please go for another company. We started our trip in a Jucy Condo, which we waited at the Christchurch Office for 2 and a half hours for, even though we arrived at exactly the time we said we would. The van was dirty, we got a parking ticket for parking in the local Pack’n’Save for 2 hours while we tried our best to clean it and make it liveable at least. People before us’ mouldy food left in cupboards, dead flies etc. Unfortunately during our 3 week trip we had an accident, where we skidded on black ice and collided with a tree. Entirely not our fault as stated in the police report. It was impossible to get hold of Jucy over the phone to sort this matter out, and we ended up having to find our own way back to the Queenstown office the next day for a replacement vehicle. The staff in the Queenstown office were mostly unhelpful, and did not provide any guidance about our excess, which was stated on the ‘Stress-free’ insurance policy as $0, but was in fact $5000, due to a hairline crack in the roof of the vehicle which we were uninsured for. Bear in mind, this hairline crack would have made no difference to the repair of the vehicle as the roof box was being removed and fitted to another vehicle anyways. We ended up being charged nearly $2500 for fibreglass damage, that would’ve cost $100 if we were to get it fixed ourselves. Again, getting in contact with Jucy trying to get a refund on any money was virtually impossible over the phone, I waited on hold for over 2 hours total in 2 days and 3 or 4 calls. We finally received a very small refund, which was not inline with the damage that occurred to the vehicle, and when we asked for an independent review, we were provided with a 2 sentence answer from said ‘independent assessor’, and no change in the cost. Overall, we were lucky the South Island was so beautiful, and that we didn’t allow this awful company to ruin our trip. But, I would urge you to choose another company, and not let Jucy steal anyone else’s money.
