Indie Campers 

I would strongly caution anyone against trusting Indie Campers with important travel plans, especially if your trip depends on receiving the specific vehicle you booked.

I booked an Adventure Tent Jeep 4x4 with roof tent out of Las Vegas because my trip plans required a 4x4 high-clearance vehicle for remote desert and landscape photography locations. Before my pickup date, Indie Campers quietly changed my confirmed booking to an Adventure Tent Select, which turned out to be a Ford Maverick, without my consent and without any direct notification to me. I only discovered the change myself when reviewing the booking.

Indie Campers later claimed the Ford Maverick was an “upgrade,” but it was not the vehicle I booked, did not appear to meet the same 4x4 high-clearance needs for my trip, and was shown as a lower-priced option on their own website. They also did not proactively notify me of the change or offer to refund the price difference between the two vehicle classes.

I contacted Indie Campers before my travel deadline asking them to either restore the original Adventure Tent vehicle I booked or issue a full refund. They did not resolve the issue in time. Because I had no confirmation that the correct vehicle would be provided, I had to cancel my required flight and hotel arrangements.

Only after I had already canceled those travel arrangements did Indie Campers respond and say they had restored the original Adventure Tent vehicle... a full 6 hours after the time my flight had been scheduled to depart. Their own representative acknowledged in writing that this was not a voluntary change of plans on my part, that I canceled my flight and hotel due to the uncertainty surrounding the vehicle class, and that their timing did not align with my travel deadlines.

Despite that, Indie Campers refused to issue a full refund and tried to treat the booking as active/non-refundable.

My issue is not just that there was a vehicle substitution. It is that Indie Campers quietly changed my confirmed vehicle to a different, lower-priced vehicle class without direct notice, claimed it was an upgrade, did not offer the price difference, failed to resolve the issue before my travel deadline, and then refused to take responsibility after the trip became impossible.

If your plans depend on getting the specific vehicle you booked, I would be extremely cautious with this company.

We rented a van from Indie Campers for our trip across Australia, and while the journey itself was memorable, the condition of the vehicle was disappointing overall. On the positive side, the engine and front driving components were generally reliable. There were some concerns with the shocks and steering, but the van did get us safely to each destination. Pickup was straightforward, and the staff at collection were friendly and helpful. When an electrical issue arose with a broken circuit breaker, the company did arrange a mechanic promptly, which we appreciated.

Unfortunately, the living portion of the van was in very poor condition. The battery would not stay charged, which caused repeated inconvenience and led to spoiled food. The bathroom sink was loose, leaked, and did not function properly. One oven burner did not work, the microwave did not work, and the heater and air conditioning on the camper side barely functioned. None of the windows would open properly, one screen was damaged, several cabinet knobs were missing, the ceiling vent crank was broken, the freezer door was broken, and the ladder to the top bunk had a broken rung that created a clear safety hazard. Even the passenger headrest repeatedly fell off.

The booking process was also frustrating. We were charged for extra kits we did not order and were unable to get the charges corrected. We also had to perform some minor maintenance ourselves during the trip. Customer service over the phone was not especially helpful.

Overall, while the driving side of the van was serviceable and some staff members were helpful, the poor condition of the camper portion and the booking frustrations made this a disappointing rental experience with Indie Campers.

Great vehicle (ist was new), very easy zu Pickup and to drop of the van, very friendly and helpfull staff, and no complaints so far with Indie Campers.

So excited to use these guys for the first time. booking process was smooth and easy

Booking process

Fun vehicle and rooftop, we had a great trip! A few missing items but we managed. Very grateful for staff on drop off being accommodating as we were late for our flight.

Simple booking, easy to find the right campervan

The best Van i found on the market

Easy to use.

Booking was easy, but I am a little annoyed that I am being asked to leave a review before my trip has even started.

Website was very user friendly and the booking process was simple.
