Indie Campers Reviews in New Zealand

Excellent service, very happy!

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 through of the vehicle and we didn’t have any issues during our trip. Would highly recommend this type of van for an extended trip, we were able to freedom camp for the majority of our trip. We stayed at a campground every couple of days to fill up on water, empty toilet etc. but found we had enough electric to last us a good couple of days! Can’t wait for another Indie Camper adventure 😀

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

Great car, great people in christchurch, we can highly reccomend the crew there the car was perfect for a four weeks trip, we had everything we needed

Best journey ever in a camper van across northern New Zealand Philip, Paul and Kash were really nice with us and explained us everything to have a safe and pleasant trip. Will definitely recommend and reserve in this agency again for our next trip, this time, in southern New Zealand

Very helpful team from start to end. The campervan worked great. Had the best time!

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. Clarification on what the cleaning package includes, including the fact that we do have to empty the graywater and Blackwater would’ve been great. We did empty them ourselves anyway prior to checking out. Overall a positive experience. For first time campers, we would highly recommend not getting manual transmission. We would also highly recommend some orientation and recommendations in regards to how to enhance the camping experience so that it’s not so stressful.

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 we needed in a timely manner as we were eager to get going. At check out Katelyn was an absolute star and even dropped us off at the airport! Would 100% recommend using indie campers Christchurch to anyone!

We had a great exprience with Indie campers, we are more than satisfied with the car and also the team was very helpful. Everything was quick and smooth. The staff in Auckland were very kind! Thank you very much for the experience, we will never forget and come back for sure to New Zealand and we will choose Indie camper for sure!

It would be nice if more ammunities like dishwash or cups or something were provided

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. At check out, the Indie Camper listened to our feedback and offered to refund the money for the tent hire. We were super happy with the series provided by Indie Camper but definitely recommend buying/bringing your own additional tent if you need one.

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 was a little cold but that was our choice to camp rather than use an enclosed camper! Very easy to get around the whole north island and find spots to camp even on the day.

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

Nothing to report. Phil at Christchurch was a massive help and provided some great travel tips. He was thorough in showing me around the van and made checking in very pleasurable. Checkout was like check in. Phil and his team were exceptional. I will be using Indie Campers when we travel abroad again. Thanks team!

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.

2 points on the car - no nav system - apple carplay did not connect well More firm pillows would be better; duvets a bit light when wheather is fresh Very pleasant check out; drop off at train appreciated

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 these trips. We really enjoyed our time with the camper. The van was in great condition, we even named her Gloria because we loved her so much! Kashish was excellent and really helpful on drop off. Thank you for a great experience!

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 easy, the employee checking his out was polite and thorough and pleasant to talk with. Thank you Indie Campers!

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. Overall it was a great experience! Loved everything about it.

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 return and use Indie Campers again.

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

Sheets and seating/table provided would be great Loved the vehicle! Drove well and camped well.

Todo muy bien Muy buena experiencia

All very well. Very good experience.

A small step in the car would be nice to reach fridge and things in the back easier. The car with pop up tent and kitchen in the back is really great. Everything works perfectly and is very well done. The bed ist comfortable and stable. Good weather is important cause cooking in the rain is not really funny! But the pop up tent is perfectly protected.
