We had an exceptional time in our Campervan. I’m not sure how frequently IndieCampers in NZ change out their vehicle but the one rented to us only had 2k/km. Would highly recommend using the same vendor if you’re in South Island of NZ. Thank you IndieCampers!! We had a blast with the van!

Phil at check in was very friendly and helped with providing internet for money transfer etc. The checkin felt quite rushed and could imagine feeling very confused overwhelmed if i hadn’t used a van for travel before. There were some scrunched up sheet in one of the cupboards, I was unsure if these ...

Of the 12 countries I have visited while renting from Indie Camper, the team at the Christchurch NZ location has been by far the most considerate, friendly and helpful. I had the pleasure of working with Marciano and the manager Philip. They were both incredibly professional and even stayed late whe...

Better online communication. The team in Christchurch were awesome to deal with just seemed unfair to expect them to be on hand 24/7. The linen situation wasn’t sufficient for winter. We ended up buying our own duvet and linen.

The workers at Indie were helpful upon pick-up and drop-off. Even gave me a lift back to airport for flight.

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

Only thing we didn't know was water would empty if temperatures dropped below 3°. However by reading the manual we figured it out

The final clean was missed. EG wiping the bench to remove the dust and sprinkles. But otherwise it was great!

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!

The check in instructions were great, however, a more thorough demo of the vehicle would have been useful. We asked to see the tent up/how to put it back but this wasn’t going to be shown otherwise. Similarly, the sink was missing the plug which we were then given once I pointed it out but we could ...

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

Vehicle was given to us with half a tank of diesel and half a tank of add blue. Vehicle also had a primary speedometer in miles per hour when we were in a country with kilometers per hour, a minor inconvience, but we used the digital display to show speed. Last, considering the vehicle seemed rather...

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.
