Had the Trekker for almost two weeks and it was perfect for us! So quick and easy to just pop the tent up at night and to also have a kitchen at the back. Generally just an awesome car. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Our experience with Indie was mostly positive, but there were a few hiccups along the way. The pick-up process in Queenstown took longer than expected—around 1.5 hours—because the original van, though clean, had issues with the roof awning. As a result, we had to switch to a different vehicle, which unfortunately wasn’t fully cleaned yet, as we noticed the fridge was still dirty. Despite these setbacks, the van itself was comfortable for our journey from Queenstown to Christchurch, and the interior design was a big plus. We appreciated having three beds for flexibility, though we only ended up using two. Since we stayed at powered campsites, we didn’t use the shower or stove for cooking. The biggest downside was a gas leak that occurred after two days, leaving us without hot water or heating for the remainder of the trip. This was a significant safety concern, especially given the colder conditions as we traveled through the West Coast and Southern Alps. That said, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, which made a difference in our overall experience.

Great experience overall. People at pickup and dropoff were great, very kind and helpful. I did contact support through WhatsApp at some point but never got a response.

No problems with our camper van! First timers and all went very smoothly. Received a larger van than we ordered so that was a surprise but although it was bigger, we managed fairly well.

Overall great. Just a few things: needed a backup camera, cutting board, tea kettle and a better knife.

The van was great and much more usable than we initially thought. We were using the heating overnight, then showering and eating using the hob in the van half the time over 15 nights and still didn’t run out of gas (was initially told it would last 3 days). Powering the fridge overnight and during the day from the battery when averaging 2-3 hours a day driving was also very good without needing to plug in anywhere but we only gained confidence in the fridge for chilling perishables after a week of use. This information is really useful when planning meals, camping sites and gas refills.

Honestly all good. Just the kitchen kit and the cleaning kit were not good enough.
