Wild Campers in Iceland

the worst rental experience of my life with wild campers. The vehicle was almost out of service: completely damaged, no additional thermal isolation, the gaz heater did'not work, the tires were dead, we had to come back during the stay to have them changed. This led to perturbate our stay a lot, but we received no refund so far. Also the emplyee at the reception was arrogant and impolite.. Only one employee when we had troubles was correct.. So in summary they provide bad value for money, but more important the vehicle was really dangerous to drive... So our advice: NEVER rent there if you want a nice and safe trip in Iceland. Talking to the other campers, there are rental companies like happy campers or ku ku campers which look much more serious and reliable.

A notre arrivée, la personne à qui nous avons eu a faire s'est montré très désagréable et a insisté pour nous faire prendre une assurance très onéreuse car il a déclaré que ma carte n'était pas valide pour le dépot de garantie alors que je l'ai utilisé de nombreuses fois dans beaucoup de pays sans problème. Heureusement que ma femme a une carte PREMIER qu'il n'a pas pu contester. Après des explications très sommaires sur l'utilisation du van, nous avons pris la route. Le lendemain, nous avons retrouvé le pneu arrière gauche complètement dégonflé. Avec l'aide d'un résident du camping, nous avons réussi à mettre la roue de secours (les écrous étaient rouillés et bloqués. Le garagiste qui nous a changé les pneus nous a dit que c'était scandaleux de louer un véhicule dans cet état et qu'ils auraient pu éclater sur la route a tout moment. D'autre part, le système WIFI mobile qui était prévu n'était pas dans le van, nous n'avons donc pas pû utiliser l'ordinateur que nous avions amené. D'autre part, les portes latérale et arrière ne pouvaient pas se fermer de l'intérieur, ce qui nous a obligé toutes les nuits à nous faufiler par les portières avant. Heureusement, aucun problème mécanique n'est venu s'ajouter à cela malgré nos craintes. Le retour s'est par contre bien passé, la personne qui s'en est chargé ne nous a toutefois pas adressé la moindre excuse pour ces dérangements.

Unfortunately, the vehicle was in terrible condition (heating system did not work properly, interiors falling apart etc.). The (negative) highlight came at the end, when a door handle with apparently preexisting was claimed to be a new damage after finally coming off on the first day - never again!

Dear Nordic Campers and Wild Campers, I’m writing you because I rented a Nordic Campers camper van through the website Wild Campers, and the experience was not fulfilling. My girlfriend and I rented a Dacia Dokker with a bed and a stove, and we expected, as your website proclaimed, that the car was equipped with a heating system, to warm up the nights. as we found out, this heating system was not at all installed, and we ended up spending most nights freezing. Furthermore, as we came to pick up the car at the arranged hour, we were met with a car that first had to be prepared with curtains and a mattress, a door that could not be locked, and after driving away almost content, the car started smoking from the rear end and it would not accelerate as it should. Therefore, once more, we returned to the office in Keflavik, and were told to just drive off (from there, the car worked fine). Added up, it took us three and a half hours, from our scheduled pick-up at 10am until 1.30pm to drive away in a functioning car. As we talked to a person in a suit from the backoffice, we were met with no understanding of our wasted time. All in all, the renting of your car at Keflavik was not fulfilling, and we ask of you an offer of refund. We rented the car from the 14th of August (pick-up at 10am) and returned it on the 20th of August (hand-in at 5pm). Best regards, Rasmus Møberg Larsen & Frida Malin Mundbjerg
