Wicked Campers Australia Omdömen 257

We rented a van in Cairns but the day of the pick up we were given a different one (a better one with no surcharge). We could contact the owner via WhatsApp and he would reply quickly. It’s the second time that I rent with Wicked and everything went well.

cheap and cheerful!
good solid vehicles!
well worth the money!

The van looks awesome, really unique looking from the outside. It was a lot comfier inside than we expected and had lots of storage compartments which was handy. The kitchen/back of the van was also really well put together. We had a hand pump sink, gas stove and a cooler box. I would highly recommend Wicked Campers, especially if you are looking for good value for money.

Hired a camper for a road trip through the NT. Had a minor problem with the vehicle, but got support from a super helpful mechanic who got me back on the road fast so well done. The return process was a little loose, no inspection, documentation or sign off that the vehicle was returned in good order so I got it washed and took my own pics so I have a record. The vehicle return process could use some work.

Great, hassle free experience. Van fully equipped and no issues. Would recommend.

Easy to book and deal with, for example when we wanted to extend our van for one night.

The van was easy to drive and good set up. It was quite old though and you could tell it’s been through a few things.

I had a great two week visiting Cairns and Surrounds. The Mystery Machine, although a little rough around the edges ran smoothly, was comfortable and had all the bits and pieces I needed to make my travels enjoyable. I will be back to hire from the Wicked Campers team.

We knew Wicked Campers was the budget option, but unfortunately, our experience left us disappointed.

First, the positive: the receptionist at the Cairns office was absolutely lovely. She was welcoming, friendly, and helpful, truly a 5/5 experience from her.

The van itself, however, was another story. We don’t mind renting an older vehicle as long as it’s safe and functional, but the condition was poor. The mattress was an extremely thin red leather one (not ideal for the tropical heat) and more importantly, the van had clearly not been cleaned after the previous renter. We found rubbish in the drawers, under the seats and bed, and even leftover clothes. Each time we opened the side door or trunk, cockroaches scattered, which was unsettling and suggested a bigger pest problem at the depot.

Mechanically, the van didn’t inspire much confidence either. On the first drive we noticed an unusual noise from the back; when we raised it with the mechanic, we were brushed off with a dismissive “it’s just the muffler.” Later, the engine light came on, and though the insurance company and WC customer service reassured us it wasn’t urgent, it’s not exactly the kind of thing you want to see at the start of a road trip. By the end of the trip, the engine brake was also making concerning noises downhill.

In the end, we were relieved the van held together long enough to get us back safely, but the lack of cleanliness, the pests, and the dismissive attitude toward our concerns made the experience stressful rather than carefree. We still enjoyed our holiday, but we wouldn’t rent with Wicked again.

Great communication .
Easy, hassle free pick up and drop off.
Nil issues with the wicked van... tnou i do suggest placing your own comforter on the mattress and providing your own usb fan.
Only negative is waiting up to 30days for the deposit refund.
Will use this company again.

Car is a bit old and rough.
In the morning it has to warm up but then its fine.
it is the Aventus 2 it has enough space to store my stuff.
Pick up and drop off were easy but vehicle was not really clean but oke np.

I went South West, to Bunbury, Collie, Preston National Park, Margaret River and Augusta. Had a very good time ! in WA Australia its a great trip so far.
Fair prices for what you get!. Had it for 7 days.

Great looking van for the road trip! Real head turner. We started our trip in Hobart and travelled around for couple of days.
Comfy van to drive. The pick up was very good, the person at the depot explained everything very well and where things were stored when camping.
The van came with a single portable gas stove, couple of camping chairs, cooking utensils, ic box to store cold items, cutlery and all essentials for cooking. The van had heaps of storage space to store our travel luggage.
Little heavy on fuel as it was a petrol automatic, a diesel van would be great for fuel economy especially when travelling long distances. And a power plug to van would be ideal then you can plug electricity to the van when camping on powered sites. Great van for unpowered camping sites as everything can be off grid.

Loved our capervan! Great experience!

The van was great, we had no issues at all. I forgot a really important backpack in the van and the guys from Wicked were really nice and got it back for me. Thank you!!!

Easy to book, collect and return.

They met my budget which was something no van company has done before, 10/10.

My only criticism is that there should be at least two gas cannisters with stoves.

Fair prices

Thanks to you, I had a wonderful trip

Had the best time!!! Perfect for a two day trip. Van had everything we needed and no major issues. Definitely going to rent again in the near future.

Staring our adventure out of Exmouth getting a camping 4WD was important and Wicked Campers was there.

Mechanically the vehicle was great, handing all the terrains without a problem. Having the roof top tents has very handy.

Only issue we had during the journey was the fridge that was replaced once and then only one section worked.

Worst company I have ever dealt with, and 30 days later, still waiting for my bond to be refunded. Van was filthy, cooker had no gas, very little petrol when we picked it up. Watch out, they do not answer emails & don't care at all

Very good experience, the staff in Cairns are very friendly and nice
