Wicked Campers Australia Omdömen 257

We had such a great time with our Wicked camper! From booking to collecting to getting to the airport after we dropped it off, and everything in between.
We rented our van from Darwin and the guys working there were so helpful. The van ran well and we had no problems!

WC has been and still are great on communication so far. Car runs and drives well. But it’s an old car with a lot of not so well kept issues. Examples: Not really clean from the start, brakes not up to standard, headlights not in an accurate position (way out of position), no wind screen fluid, pot and pan not clean and also damaged in surface. Make sure you go through the car and equipment before leaving the pickup site. Otherwise we do have a nice road trip with our WC rental.

Unfortunately, a couple of things went wrong with our hire which impacted our trip to Darwin, Kakadu National Park and Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory. To summarise, the issues we experienced:
- I enquired about hiring a booster seat well before our trip. I was advised this would be looked into and that someone would get back to me. This did not occur. Consequently, we purchased our own booster seat on arrival.
- Approximately, 150kms from Darwin (100kms to Jabiru) something went wrong with the vehicle which meant it could not accelerate beyond 90kms and the aircon/ or other part made a loud sound which made it difficult to hear anything.
- Due to the above issue, the vehicle was changed however we were asked why we didn't just stop on the side of the road and wait... With a 4 year old with us and being closer to our intended destination it was safer to proceed the last 100kms.
- Multiple attempts to arrange someone to look at the car or exchange created delays in our plans. We adjusted our trip to remain closer to Jabiru to allow someone to attend on a Saturday. We were advised by Saturday afternoon that someone would now not come until Sunday. We had a full day out planned for Sunday and although there were attempts for the person to come out late morning we held firm with our plans and thankfully someone attended early morning to change the vehicle.
- Minimal support provided to ensure everything about the new vehicle was understood. This resulted in significant difficulties to open the fuel cap. We had to ask locals/travels on a number of occasions to assist us so we could put fuel in. Only one person assisting us could open it whereas the others also struggled.
- While in Kakadu National Park, the fridge stopped working as did the solar panels. This resulted in us having to throw away food and having no nearby option to have fixed or even access ice. When we travelled to a town where we had reception we were advised to adjust with ice for the remainder of the trip. This significantly impacted our plans to be in remote areas where we could not easily restock ice. Again, our trip had to be adjusted and we ultimately made the call to return to Darwin earlier.

Rep was chill.
Return was easy
Truck worked perfectly.
Easier than normal car rentals.

The car ran well the aircond also was great. We only briefly met a staff member who was helpful and pimped us with an extra burner. Thank you

Overpriced shit box is about the best description I can use - bed doesn’t fit properly; can’t make the bed as 1/2 the mattress is under the ‘so called kitchen’ ; I’d hate to have 2 people in it - $492 for 3 days - absolute ripoff - 1/2 that price is its value - I only wanted a bed thank goodness - no bedding; no nothing - not even a bloody fridge - spend a bit more and go with a reputable company - only bonus was the guys at the branch in Cairns were great!

We needed a vehicle for two nights to get us from Melbourne to Brisbane and settled on Wicked, based on their competitive prices. We chose bottom of the range and I think it was reasonable value for money. We had no trouble at all with pick up, the vehicle was mechanically sound though quite basic and there was enough room for two of us, though I’m glad we are good friends 😉 Overall I’m happy we chose Wicked and I’d recommend them. But if you’re looking for luxury, maybe try another company

🤙🏾We absolutely LOVE hiring from Wicked Campers.

🤙🏾This is our third time in 12 months. We have travelled from Brisbane to Byron Bay and also throughout Cairns & the Tropical North region🌴 going to Music Festivals.

🤙🏾The vans are roomy, comfortable & provide all of our basic needs. Bed, Fridge, sink, table, chairs, gas cookers, pots, pans, dishes, cups, cutlery! We just bring our blankets & pillows……Perfect👌🏽

🤙🏾In fact we love them so much that we have hired a WICKED CAMPER VAN for our New Zealand Holiday February 2026‼️😃🚐🇳🇿✈️ …….YEWWWW‼️👅🤘🏽

We booked a hitop vehicle, since it's me and my dad traveling and we did not want to cram and share a bed together. When we picked up the vehicle, it was covered on the inside with vulgar texts (the word c*nt was written at least 6 times, and many other slang words and offensive texts). The hitop part was actually missing, so there was no way to sleep in the upper part. Wicked did not offer any help or attempts to solve this issue. The downstairs sleeping area is built to accomodate 1 person, since a sink is located on one end of the vehicle. Let my dad take the full side and spent a week sleeping in a 1m20 space myself. I am 1m80, for reference. So now we had to tour around with a vehicle that did have the height restrictions and cons of hitop, but none of the benefits. Since it catches so much wind it consumes so much more petrol, we cant park it just anywhere, it is harder to drive in windy western australia, etc. No power chord was supplied either. No functioning car radio either. We got a full 1 minute explanation about the vehicle since it was rush hour at the Perth depot (only open from 9 to 11 so thats already problematic). Hopefully we'll be partially reimbursted because we are very disappointed. Lady at the depot was rushed but friendly and seemed embarrassed as well about the state of the vehicle. A vehicle we rented earlier in exmouth was also far from what we expected for what we paid, so we know it's not a 1 time bad experience. Probably only fine if you are an 18yo backpacker without any standards.

Quick and efficient communication, all requests solved fast

Great service. Got us a van with an hours notice. Would use again.

Great service from the cairns staff / owner, easy to collect and drop off the wicked van. Upgrade offered free of charge. The mystery machine had everything needed for an awesome camping weekend and was in great condition. Will definitely go back to wicked campers cairns. Cheers Jordan

Good booking process and confirmed the booking quickly. Pick up/drop off location was friendly in Ringwood. Good quality car and comfortable to sleep in for a few nights away.

Vehicle was as advertised and reliable for our trip through middle of Australia. Mattresses in roof top tents were very thin suggest taking extra self inflating mat or similar for some extra padding. Chairs it came with were worn and falling apart we upgraded with a quick stop at Kmart before leaving Alice. Overall amazing experience good customer service and value for money would recommend to families!

we went to a festival in it , it was the best vibe absolutely amazing and an easy drive!

Excellent customer service. Reliable. Great setup

They were great, I did have a busted door which was annoying but the guy was lovely.

The ease of booking was incredible, customer support was consistently rapid often replying within 10 minutes whenever I had a question. Ease of vehicle pickup and drop off was easy and rapid.

The van was comfortable and came equipped with everything needed for a great trip.

When I arrived to collect to the van, it was discovered the air con didn’t work, the head unit didn’t function, and that the hatch wouldn’t open from the inside. The “security feature” as it was sold to me, meant I would have to climb through the back, reach over and pull a cable tie to unlock the back hatch. Thankfully I realised all of these things and I was provided with another van at the same price of the original van I booked, a $500 discount. During my two weeks I needed to pump the rear left hand tyre up 5 times as it was slowly leaking around 10 pounds every 3 days. When I collected the van, I drove 8 and a half hours to Karratha from Broome. The next morning I checked the tyre pressure at it only had 12 pounds in it. I was fortunate to not have peeled the tyre off the rim causing an accident!! Apart from that, the Toyota Aeros drove well, had good fuel economy and was comfortable to sleep in.

WOW what a holiday, all made possible by Wicked Campers 4*4 Desert Sands. We are a family of 5 who hired the car to drive the Mereenie Loop in NT, and its not an understatement to say it just wouldnt have been possible without this car.

The car was clean, reliable and comfortable. We had a boys tent, 2 kids 15 & 10 + Dad, and a girls tent, 13yo and Mum. For a week it was perfectly acceptable. The setup took less than 5 mins... pack up slightly longer as you do have to remove pillows/sleeping bag to bring the tents down.

The portable stoves, fridge, untensils, chairs and tables meant you could literally drive into a campsite and be cooking within minutes.

There were a few times at the beginning where I wanted to check a few things and very easy to speak to someone in sales, or roadside assistance so always felt well supported.
