We picked up the van in excellent condition, very clean and everything as expected! We spent 4 weeks in an odyssey pop top exploring the South Island. Pick-up was really straight forward and Phil (manager) spent time going through an excellent itinerary for our trip. Mars did an excellent tour throu...

I made a list of suggestions and gave to the employee. On top of that a direct telephone number from the office would be helpful in case of any problem. Very satisfied indeed. Thanks

We were very happy with checkout process. The communication was excellent and the support provided was great. With the bedding, we did not receive any pillow, but only the pillowcases. The vehicle was somewhat difficult to drive. A little bit more information on orientation would’ve been helpful. Cl...

In autumn perhaps swap the duvets for sleeping bags or something a little bit warmer! BUT we appreciated the local team providing two duvets instead of 1 to help us keep warm! Katelyn and Phillip were fantastic during check in. So helpful and friendly and gave us some top tips. Gave us all the info ...

The Indie Camper team was super helpful. Loved the rooftop tent, so comfy!!! We were travelling with three people so opted to rent an additional tent and I definitely don't recommend doing this. The tent was small and not suitable for the weather. We ended up buying a tent after the first night. ...

Only cleanliness complaint was that the cups weren’t all cleaned, and had grown mould in the bottom - these were easily washed but was a little gross to find. And the QR code on the windscreen when scanned to find manuals only said “coming soon” so not much help. Had a great trip, the rooftop tent w...

One tip: on The webpage of The Trekker it would have been Nice if it were mentioned that the Trekker is not self-contained and what that means in NZ. This would have altered our choice. Otherwise: all fine! Prima auto met 4WD! Is niet self-contained dus de meer remote plekken kun je niet op staan

At first glance we didn't notice but inside the fridge there was some ketchup and mayonnaise inside. Some stains of sweet drinks on the panel were visible. Cupboards were a bit dirty Nice and efficient

Kashish was excellent, so helpful and welcoming! No improvements! Vehicle was great! I would suggest installing a mosquito net in the back so the doors can be open.

We booked this camper van because the website stated and advertised that Indie Campers operated out of Auckland Airport. The booking confirmation then said a different address which was very confusing. We then had to pay for Ubers both ways from Auckland airport and would like to be reimbursed for t...

The only thing on pick up was that we were not informed of some glass thing that is above the cook top. We saw bits of broken glass on our first use of the stove and asked when dropping off. Seems there is a glass plate missing from there upon giving it to us and it was not mentioned. Drop off was e...

The bedding was very low quality and should be improved, we left with an error on our pad that led to no hot water for the first 5 days, so that should have not happened. There could be a few more utensils, a flipper, etc for cooking. When we picked our grey was full and flooded in The bathroom. Ove...

It would be great if we could have left the top bunk behind at the depot, bit it was a great experience. Highly Recommended. Phil and his team made this a seamless and enjoyable service for an amazing holiday. The Oddessey Van was perfect for 2, leave the top bunk behind though! I'm sure we will re...

We bought a doormat to keep the interior clean. Could be a useful inclusion to the essentials kit?

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."
