Wild Campers in Iceland

Trouble from day one. We got a replacement camper after 4 days, This new camper had also several faults and mal functions.

Hi, in general everything was ok with the campervan itself. But at the pickupstation at Nordic Car Rental I had a very unpleasant surprise as they told me the deposit for the car would be 2700€ instead of the 800€ you told me. I couldn‘t pay it due to the limit of my credit card, so I had to book the platinum package which was a additional cost of about 400€. So if you‘re willing to work with rental companies in Iceland you should make sure the conditions are clear and the communication isn‘t misleading. I am still a student and saved money for a long time to go on this trip. This could have been much better.. Best regards Felix Steidle

The car company which rented us the Dokker Camper Van was not "Wild Campers" as we'd expected but a Company called "FairCar Keflavik". On our arrival the car was not available and we had to wait up to three hours until we got an alternative car which they told us was an "upgrade". After sleeping one night in the alternative van we realized how old and in which bad condition the car really was (central lock broken, heating didn't work, very slow acceleration and warning light flashing constantly)-. That led us bringing the car back - at least they changed the van again without complaint and we finally got the car we booked. Wouldn't recommend the company anyway, because we heard stories that other people had more problems with them.

I had mixed experience with this rental. On the good side, the car was good enough and and the mechanics were in good shape that allowed a smooth 2200km around Iceland. The inner space of the van (sleeping area) was enough for 2 people, but only after reducing the passenger seat to a minimum, and folding them towards the front. This was a cleaver system to enhance in about 30 cm the sleeping area, a must if you are 1,8m height. The Abestos heating system (for the night) was also very usefull and worked properly. Camping gear was in good shape. However, I also found some negative aspects with the rental. The first was related to the regular heating system of the car; the switch that controls the flow of the warm air was broken and was fixed to the front window. Due the the low temperatures and heavy wind, we had our feet constantly very cold and without any means to warm them up. A simply fix would solve this, but they gave us a car with this problem. The second was related to the insurance exceptions; there are so many exceptions that basically the CDW or superCDW only covers a direct frontal impact, since they have so many exclusions that it's hard to find a situation where indeed the insurance will cover any damage done in other circumstance. If you rent from this company, please be aware of the damages that blowing wind can do on the car doors; none is covered by insurance and small dents can cost you a lot of money.

The car was great, and returning it was fine. However, the guy picking us up was half an hour late from what was supposed; it was dark and he didnt check properly enough what dents are on the car, we found additional one and were left worried about it. Then another day we were about to make ourselves food and found that the gas stove was missing a middle part, making it completely useless and we spent a day trying to contact them about it and to find where to get one.
