Wild Campers in Island

Very nice experience, price was quite cheap for such good equipment : beds, pillows, blanket, camping table, chairs and stuff to cook ! Honnestly the best way to travel in iceland for me !

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

They advertise they would pick us up from the airport however they were not there when we arrived and we had to call them to get them to show up. When we got to the rental agency we had to wait in the waiting area for over an hour. Mechanically the car was reliable and didn’t give us any problems. The “camper” was a converted station wagon and had insufficient sleeping space in the back for anybody over the height of 5’6, there was much less space than was indicated in their advertising pictures. The rear and side doors were broken and not openable from the inside (which is probably dangerous) we had to climb through the front seat to exit the vehicle in the mornings. We would not recommend anybody to rent from wild campers, Nordic campers or city car rental. (They are all the same company)

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.

All was well with the car, no issues on the road, proper guidance and very useful advice from rental team. Heating was working well and keeping us warm during chilly nights.

Great! All went well with my trip around Iceland.

Very good and Quick service. Thank you so much.

Great price in comparison to other campers and 24/7 airport pick up and drop off was extremely convenient. All in all a good service.
