Wicked Campers Australia Omdömen 257

We hired the mystery machine for 12 nights and did the job. Not luxury however was exactly what we needed. Used camp kitchens as was not really an option to cook from the van due to space. Overall we had a great time.

Had a trip of a lifetime in a Johnny and would recommend the vehicle. However, the condition of the van was subpar and roadside were not the most responsive when we did encounter issues. On top of this, some of the restrictions were not anticipated, like the fact you aren’t insured to drive in the dark if you are not in a city. So yeah the Johnny was great but wicked campers not so great!

Our experience with Wicked Campers was a good one. We did an 8,000km round trip over 12 days from Sydney to Adelaide, Uluru, Tennant Creek, Mount Isa and Lightning Ridge. The vehicle went well. When you put your foot on the accelerator it went. When you put your foot on the brake it stopped. What more do you want!?!

When I first encountered the van I was pleasantly surprised. It had all the basic equipment my friend and I needed for our trip which was more than I expected going in. However, the van was old which led to a few close calls safety wise. Let’s just say you get what you pay for, and by the time we dropped off the van I was more than ready to say goodbye.

Das Holen und Abgeben des Vans war sehr unkompliziert. Wir waren das erste Mal in Australien und sind 16 Tage mit der Mystery Maschine 3000 km von Adelaide an der Great Ocean Road über Melbourne und Pazifik Drive nach Sydney gefahren. Der Van war zwar ziemlich alt, aber er fuhr ohne Probleme, einzig der Benzinverbrauch war etwas hoch. Ein praktischer Wagen, der zwar nur das Notwendigste dabei hatte, aber für uns völlig ausreichend. Aufgrund der Lackierung hohe Wiedererkennung und wir sind häufig mit Leuten ins Gespräch gekommen. Uns hat die Fahrt mit der Mystery Maschine gut gefallen. Wir sind beide um die 60 Jahre alt ;-)

We had a mystery machine which ran ok but was pretty old. No sponge though so pretty hard to clean our dishes, but other than that was fine. Just the basic necessities but fine if you dont expect anything luxurious.

Camper was smaller than expected and lack of bedding was also a surprise. Won't hire wicked camper again.

The car ran really well and is easy to drive, plus the camping was comfortable for us, (we're in our late 60's). The little van had everything for our camping needs. Thanks for the enjoyable experience.

The Jhonny Feelgood is a super convenient little van for a solo traveller - comfortable to drive, and quick easy set up for camping/sleeping. Was the perfect amount of space for a road trip, with all the essentials covered.
Wicked are strict on their policies though (which are warranted, but not ones I've experienced with other rental companies), so be sure to read the terms and conditions when booking! Otherwise I had a wonderful trip and would hire with them again 😊

Thank’s a lot for the beautiful road trip with the Mystery Machin. It has all things with need to make a good travel.

We had a very good experience overall however the van was a bit older so there were a couple of minor issues that had been patched up but not very well like a hole in the sink and the pump for the water. However the van drove fine and we were doing about 4 hours driving a day so pretty impressed for the price. Would definitely recommend and use again

We recently rented from Wicked Camper Vans and had an amazing experience! The pickup process was effortless — we were in and out quickly and ready to hit the road. The van itself (the awesome Mystery Machine!) was easy to drive and definitely turned a lot of heads everywhere we went. The layout inside was perfect, making it super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat on the go. I would recommend Wicked Camper Vans every time — they've made road-tripping so much fun! I’m already looking forward to our next adventure, this time renting a 3-seater so I can bring my kids along too!

Strong customer service for booking and payment process, let down by pick up experience and general condition of the camper.

When we collected our camper from Exmouth WA, the confirmation email stated a seamless, contactless experience for out of hours collection (3pm on a Saturday for which we were charged $100) but to our dismay, we turned up to a basic shed in an industrial estate and the only hint of what to do was to call a number that turned out to be a local resort/accom and when someone turned up later to provide keys, she really didnt have much idea about who we were, what we had booked and just handed us a key with zero assistance to show us where things were, how to operate anything and no sign of the National Park pass we'd been charged $150 for. The door of the camper was so hard to open, we had to buy WD40 to try and make it easy - unsuccessfully.

Generally, the camper was OK to drive but def not a the strong customer experience we'd received during the booking and payment process.

Hired the mystery machine from exmouth drove to coral bay. Had lots of fun. Living out my hippy days. People waving at us felt good lol reliable little wagon with everything we needed in it

Van was easy to drive, ran great! The paint job was fun and watching public reactions was entertaining.
I discovered to my dismay that the height was just not suitable to someone of my 157cm stature. I felt like I was mountain climbing to get in and it was nearly impossible with the bed laid out.
Equipment was rudimentary but adequate. Definitely better suited for younger, taller users.

Myself and 2 friends hired the car for a road trip around Western Australia.

Pros
The car drove really well and had a good in-car entertainment system and air con.
Wicked campers were very responsive via email and accommodated our request for earlier pick up at short notice.
We were provided with a roadside assistance number and he was able to talk us through a lot of questions about the car and the tent boxes.

Cons
The car had not been cleaned after the previous guests. We found food tins and empty packets in the car and the car, fridge and tent boxes were full of sand and the tents smelt of second hand smoke. Once we’d cleaned and aired them out they were fine, it’s just a shame we had to do this ourselves.

The fridge specifically hadn’t been cleaned and there was an empty shellfish shell in there.

A lot of the appliances seem old - the table and fridge are very stained/scratched. The tent box ladder is missing a screw which made it hard to put up / down.

The car / tent is advertised as fitting 5 people - there were three of us and we found it a little bit tight with all of our baggage so just be warned!

Overall the car does what is says on the tin but is rough around the edges. If you don’t mind that, I would recommend wicked campers as the process from reserving to hiring and returning the car was relatively easy and inexpensive.

Hired a Mystery Van from Brisbane to do a drive through QLD and northern NSW, despite its slightly rough exterior and interior the van was clean, well equiped and drove like a dream!! Fuel efficient even with lots of stops and starts and some very big hills! It was a perfect size and layout for a couple. Bed was a tad hard but got used to it after the first night. Still waiting for the bond back (but it hasn’t been 7 days yet) but the service and friendliness has been great. Would hire again!

I have been driving around with my rented camper van for the last 7 weeks. The price performance ration is really good. Despite the car being about 20 years old, it is reliable and in a good condition. It is equipped with a small sink, a toilet, a gas cooker, matresses and cooking utensils so I did not have to buy these things. As it is self-contained, there is a wide variety of possible campgrounds for me which has helped me a lot so far. I have driven more than 6000km on both the North and South Island and am glad that this car enabled me to see so many special places all over New Zealand! It does not consume too much fuel either which is additional advantage when it comes to large distances.
Overall, I am really happy to have received such an affordable and reliable car.

We hired the Mystery Machine for our travels on the South and North Island of New Zealand and it was a disaster from the beginning. When we picked up our camper van after hours we noticed that one of the tires was almost flat. The next morning we stopped at the gas station to fill up the tire and the vehicle wouldn't start after that. We were accused of backward wiring the battery when trying to jump start it which wasn't the issue at all. We missed a booked trip that day (value of approx. 750 NZD) because the roadside assistance support was on Australian time and didn't even contact us until the middle of the day. Contacting the company directly didn’t get us anywhere either.

The second van we picked up in Auckland wasn't much better - the key we received had a major crack in it and we handled it with a lot of care not to break it off in the ignition or while opening the vehicle.

After bringing all of our issues to the attention of Wicked Campers, we received absolutely NO response.

Needless to say, this is the last company I would ever rent a vehicle from again in the future.

We rented a campervan for 9 days and did a loop from Perth to Esperance via the coast and back via Wave Rock. The van is super well equipped, we had everything we needed. The sleeping area was spacious and comfortable, and we slept really well! Customer service is very responsive, answering my e-mails within a few hours each time. They're also very flexible. We were able to collect the keys quickly and easily. The only downside was that the emergency number didn't answer even though we'd called several times. The van works very well, even though it's not brand new. Overall a good experience!
