Where do I even begin!I’m honestly not sure how to start a review that accurately describes how incredible this Land Cruiser and its host Basil actually are.
From before we even booked, Basil was already answering questions for us about the vehicle and our trip, and taking the time to make sure we had everything we needed for our journey. Handover was super easy and he took a lot of care to make sure we understood all the ins and outs of the car and the upgrades we were bringing as well.Once we were on the road (for just over 3 weeks touring the National parks), the cruiser was legendary, to say the least. It ran like a gem and never caused us any issues, whether we were cruising on the highways or off-roading in search of some epic spots to explore or camp, the cruiser was always reliable and it made us feel super safe and comfortable knowing it could tackle any situation we got into.
It definitely has the bonus of looking like (and being) a classic as well and we got compliments nearly everywhere we travelled from lots of friendly folks. It really does look a beauty in all the photographs we took over our holiday.For the upgrades, I would personally recommend adding as many of them as you can, as they add so much comfort and usability to the cruiser. The roof camper, fridge and camp kitchen all paid for themselves ten times over and I’m beyond glad we had them for our journey. The roof camper gave us total freedom to camp wherever we wanted and really delivered a spacious and comfortable sleep regardless of being in the desert or the mountains. The fridge ensured we always had fresh food available to cook with and snack on, as well as always providing us with an ice-cold beer after a long day on the road or hiking trails. The camp kitchen enabled us so much luxury whether it was brewing a simple coffee on a cold morning or cooking up a full meal for a big dinner. These are definitely additions you should not go without!Some other worthwhile mentions are the comfy seats, great speaker and Apple play combo for music and directions, and the heavy-duty light set-up Basil has installed that makes any night time driving feel a lot safer.This is definitely the best car rental/RV rental experience we have ever had and we can’t wait to come back soon and take it on the road again. Bonus mention again for Basil who was beyond helpful and did more than just ensure the Cruiser was in perfect order, but also provided us plenty of great ideas and itinerary tips throughout our journey.Can’t wait to be back!
