This was the perfect camper for our mini round trip around the Northern Island of New Zealand. Thank you team:-) We travelled with the four of us; 2 adults + 2 children and this campervan was perfect to use for the trip! It has everything we needed.

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 when I couldn't make my pickup time. I wish I could give them a higher rating than it allows.

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. Our camper was perfect for two. Was a great size for having everything we needed while still being small enough to never struggle with parking. This came in handy in places such as Queenstown where parking can be problematic. The van was great on power and fuel efficiency. We spent far less on fuel than we originally thought. Was really warm with the onboard heater. Will definitely use indie camper Christchurch again!

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

Overall experience was really good and team went above and beyond to help where needed The whole experience was really good. The Van was in good condition and was good for the whole trip, really smooth and easy to drive for a quite larger vehicle. Customer service was top tier.

Give travelers a review of spare tire kit/procedure. Fortunately didn’t need it but realized part way through trip I didn’t know where things were. It may have been mentioned but I missed it. Thanks to Mars in Christchurch for getting us on our way and the Auckland team for checking us back in!

The cleanliness wasn’t as good as the one we rented in the South Island. A larger coffee pot would be ideal for 2 people. Include a phone holder for the pop top. It’s a small expense but meant that we wouldn’t have had to have bought one ourselves. Had a great time. The only complaint was with customer service struggles trying to claim a refund on a rogue service charge. That’s nothing to do with the depot, only reflects badly on the company.

Better quality of the beddings would be an improvement. The whole process was smooth and with very friendly and helpful people. Specially the service from Kash at check out in Auckland was great. Also the team in Christchurch did an amazing job by getting us on the road with some great tips.

On the website show what kind of surf board you’re renting, I used it twice then just rented hard tops instead, other than that no complaints I had a super fun time my only complaint would be I would have liked to know what kind of board I was getting

Had a great trip around the North Island with our Indie van. Loved the Untilate freedom to go with a loose plan and change up on the fly with weather or other interests coming along. Thanks for the fab experience with a competent and complete van!

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 😀

Only thing we didn't know was water would empty if temperatures dropped below 3°. However by reading the manual we figured it out We loved our indie camper there was plenty of space and the heating system was amazing! Highly recommend them for your roadtrip.

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 I think is better signs from the road. My Uber driver had a tough time finding the building. Excellent team of people and the van was perfect for our trip. Smooth and easy drive and very comfortable!
