点评:Our experience with Indie Campers was extremely disappointing and, unfortunately, had a major negative impact on our vacation.
We specifically booked an RV with 7 seats. The vehicle we received had only 6 seats. As a result, our group could not travel together as planned, and some of our friends had to travel separately in another vehicle, causing additional fuel and travel expenses.
Unfortunately, that was only the beginning.
The RV had numerous defects. Most importantly, the height-adjustable table was broken, which meant that the sleeping area that depended on the table could not be used. We needed sleeping space for six people, but because of this defect, we effectively had only four usable sleeping spaces. We therefore had to book additional accommodation at campsites.
Other problems we reported included a non-functioning water sensor, unpleasant-smelling bedding, missing or broken interior parts, and eventually even a non-functioning rear brake light.
The handling of the safety-related issues was particularly concerning. We also noticed that the license plate displayed an outdated registration sticker. We repeatedly had to contact support and request current registration and insurance documentation. At one point, Indie Campers explicitly instructed us in writing not to drive the RV until they could confirm that it was safe and legal to operate.
This all happened during our vacation. Instead of enjoying our road trip together, we spent a significant amount of our time dealing with support chats, emails, documenting defects, arranging additional accommodation, travelling separately and trying to establish whether we could safely and legally continue driving the vehicle.
Indie Campers ultimately provided us with $550 in compensation/reimbursement. While we appreciate receiving something back, $550 does not undo the lost vacation time, the stress or the fact that our group could neither travel nor sleep together as originally planned.
We rented an RV specifically to enjoy a vacation together. Instead, we received a vehicle that did not match the configuration we booked, had numerous defects and eventually raised serious safety concerns.
In simple terms: this RV was an absolute disaster, and the experience significantly affected our vacation.
After this experience, we would not book with Indie Campers again.
翻译:我们与Indie Campers的体验极其糟糕,不幸的是,这对我们的假期产生了极大的负面影响。
我们特意预订了一辆有7个座位的房车。但实际收到的车辆只有6个座位。这样一来,我们一行人无法按计划一同出行,有些朋友不得不另行乘车,这又产生了额外的油费与交通开支。
不幸的是,这仅仅是个开始。
那辆房车存在诸多缺陷。最重要的是……那张可调节高度的桌子坏了,导致依赖该桌子才能使用的睡眠区无法使用。我们需要为六个人提供睡眠空间,但由于这个缺陷,实际上我们只能提供四个可用的睡眠位置。因此,我们不得不在露营地另行预订住宿。
我们报告的其他问题还包括:水传感器失灵、床上用品有异味、内部部件缺失或破损,甚至后刹车灯也无法正常工作。那些与安全相关的问题处理方式尤其令人担忧。我们还注意到,车牌上贴的登记贴纸已经过时了。我们不得不多次联系客服,索要最新的登记与保险证明文件。有一次,Indie Campers甚至以书面形式明确指示我们:在他们确认房车不存在安全隐患且符合法律规定之前,绝对禁止驾驶。
这一切都发生在我们的度假期间。我们本该尽情享受这次自驾之旅的,结果……我们花费了大量时间来处理客服聊天、回复邮件、记录车辆缺陷、安排额外的住宿、各自单独出行,同时还要确认我们是否能够安全且合法地继续驾驶车辆。
最终,Indie Campers向我们支付了550美元的补偿金。虽然我们很感激能得到一些补偿,但这550美元根本无法弥补我们错失的度假时光。压力,以及我们的团队无法像原计划那样一起旅行、一起休息,这些都成了问题。
我们特意租了一辆房车,就是为了能一起享受假期。然而,我们拿到的房车配置与预订的不符,存在诸多瑕疵,甚至还引发了严重的安全隐患。
简单来说:这辆房车简直就是一场灾难,这次经历极大地影响了我们的假期体验。
经历了这一切后,我们绝不会再选择Indie Campers来预订房车了。
