Customer Stories

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"I needed a box truck at short notice. These guys were offering the right size vehicle at a reasonable rate, booking was smooth and easy pick-up. Staff were friendly and helpful. Truck was good. Would definitely use again."

C. Michael — Queenstown

★★★★★

"Great service from Harry. He hooked up the trailer for me on arrival and removed it when I returned — I didn't have to do anything. Excellent condition, clean, roadworthy, and the price was cheaper than all other options."

Willy — Tauranga

★★★★★

"Great experience for afternoon truck rental with a lift-gate. I ran a couple of hours late to drop-off and called to explain — wasn't a problem and no charge. Rich and Kahleen onsite were very nice, efficient, and super helpful. Defo hire there again."
