Marco Polo
The local team was friendly enough and ready to help, however it took more time than we expected to prepare all the stuff for the trip (e.g. essential kit's toilet tablets were absent). Also the interior cleaning can be better - the roof tent floor was covered with hairs and dust so a better vacuum cleaning is needed. The tent itself requires some deep washing as well because it has a lot of stains on it. The interior table has signs of being repaired and it lead to the problem with opening and closing every time. The glass cover for a sink is absent. The water filling cap had poor connectors to the tank. That's why it was lost during the trip. However we bought a new one and Indie Campers accepted the refund as for 10.06.2024. Our Marco Polo was a travel ship for 4 wanderers and to be honest it was definitely enough for us (we are close friends). It is the best option if you want to stand freely (thanks to the rooftop tent) and to fit in all parkings you stay. The size of the van feels enormous only for the first day and after getting used it is driven like a normal car. Specifically compared to the bigger campers. The media system in our van supported Apple CarPlay and Android Auto we were quite excited about it. All the car info (tanks, electricity and etc) was easily accessible. Also please be advised that sleeping on the rooftop tent and inside the van is a completely different experience. On the rooftop tent there is more space and the mattress is more comfortable however during hot days (more than 25 degrees) it can become super stuffy if you don't pay attention where the shadow will be in the morning. On the bottom bed there is a little less space for sleeping but it always better in case of temperatures and freshness (thanks to the little window). Another advice is to put the fridge to a level 3. It was enough keep all the groceries cold and allowed us to rarely use the external electricity. Be careful with the interior table. It is really fragile, better to fully check it during the checkout.

The vehicle was super clean and perfect, the local check-in went smoothly! Negative point: we only received a 1-person duvet instead of the requested (and promised) 2 person, which was super annoying during the trip, as one person had to sleap on the leather. Not very pleasant. The check-out went smooth too. But it is hard reaching you guys, when the issue is not road-assistance related: Example 1: I forgot something in the van and I still didn't get a respons whether they found it yes or no. I filed a case and send an email to madrid@indiecampers.com. Example 2: to request a 2-person duvet (we only received one for 1 person, which did not fit the bed), you can not text nor call anyone, while for me having a decent bed and sheets on our trip is the reason why we booked this van (+ basic kit) in the first place. The amount of effort you have to is too cumbersome.

They should consider when checking in and out that there are unforeseen circumstances that make it highly likely that we will not be able to attend at the agreed time (in our case, they changed our flight, we sent an email but we did not receive a response) and that caused us an unsatisfactory experience in the process, beyond the willingness of the staff to find a solution that allowed us to resolve the problem. As for the vehicle, it met all our expectations.

It is simply fantastic to live the experience with Indie Campers. The chosen model was excellent, however there are many models for every need.

They welcomed us very well when we picked up the caravan. They explained every detail to us and were able to address every concern we had. The caravan worked very well in all climates when travelling around Spain in winter. When it came to returning it, everything was very fast! We are leaving happy and will definitely be back!

Replacing the closet door, the bathroom shelf doors and the freezer door, as well as the folding shower curtain that did not fit with its magnetic closure, before handing over the rental vehicle. Everything else was fine. The staff was excellent. Good experience, one to repeat in the future in another part of the European continent.

Small broken items. For example, the curtain covering the front windows, the table leg, the kitchen cabinet doors, etc. The service was very good, as they turned on two lights on the dashboard and helped us. The lights went out later without us doing anything. However, we went to Madrid to show the car, as we were afraid of going to Barcelona and having problems with the car. The experience was worth it. Every moment will be etched in our memories.

I have rented several campers and I am happy, but you have to improve the check-in and check-out times, although it is true that you do not put up any objections to returning it a little later to fully enjoy the trip. We have rented several times and the truth is that they meet our expectations. I recommend checking the camper beforehand, that it is in good condition, that everything works and that it has all the essentials, in order to avoid problems on the trip, but I recommend them.

Written on your site speaks fluent English, French we must not have dealt with the right people because Spanish only. Fortunately I get by a little in Spanish. On the other hand we returned the vehicle in front of the closed gate, quickly, in 10 minutes it was done, we wanted proof of the return of the deposit but the person left to make other returns. We were afraid of not having our deposit but finally yes. Stay in Madrid at the top. Clean vehicle but not new. Just perfect in place for 2 but it is noted 4 people (2 children then but I do not know where they could go). For those who say they speak fluent English, French we must not have dealt with the same people because Spanish only.

An incredible experience and the Grand California is perfect for 2 people. We waited a little longer than the chosen time to pick up the motorhome, but it was worth it. The workers were very friendly. I recommend watching the presentation videos of each motorhome you are going to rent and then asking them any questions you have before leaving.

Everything is perfect. The only thing that needs to be improved is the vehicle's handbrake (it is extremely uncomfortable and fails). Everything else is 10/10.

Access gate closed over the weekend, entrance was 400m away. Maybe specify this for greater ease. Excellent service, easy to communicate via WhatsApp.

Indie Campers in the News

"Indie Campers have launched a long-term subscription service after seeing a 66% rise in requests from remote workers. The #vanlife lifestyle could be about to expand beyond the Instagram tribe."

"Perhaps a camper van, parked up on a lonely beach or mountain road, could be the perfect solution to the socially distanced summer holiday of 2020."

"Pick up your wheels from west London and hit the road in a sleek van from Indie Campers, with an itinerary and extras like wi-fi, a shower and bikes and barbecues in the boot. Effortless camping? Yes please."

"UK holidays have taken precedence this year. Now, Indie Campers is offering British campervan owners the chance to rent out their own vehicles."
