点评:AVOID INDIE CAMPERS AT ALL COSTS – DANGEROUS VEHICLE + COMPLETE FAILURE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
We hired a motorhome from Indie Campers (Booking WMU233612-1) from London Luton, 20–31 August 2026, for a family trip to Norway.
At the point of collection a clear defect with the central (main) door was identified. Their staff carried out a temporary repair and refused my request for a replacement vehicle. I had already emailed them before collection asking for a reliable vehicle for a long journey — that request was ignored.
Two days after arriving in Norway the door became critically unsafe. It could no longer open properly and risked detaching completely. We were forced to secure it with rope to stop it coming off. This imposed severe speed restrictions on the vehicle.
My 63-year-old sister, who has a medical condition that prevents her from safely using the driver’s door, was particularly affected. Because the central door could not be locked, one family member had to remain inside the vehicle at all times whenever the rest of us left it. We missed pre-booked accommodation, planned visits, and our Calais–Dover ferry as a direct result of the speed restrictions and restricted mobility.
I contacted roadside assistance and formally complained with full supporting evidence (photos, documents, correspondence). Indie Campers’ response? They offered only £142.74 “compensation” and refused to refund the hire cost, the wasted accommodation, the missed ferry, or any proper recognition of the safety risk and distress caused.
A motorhome with a door that has to be tied on with rope is not roadworthy, not safe, and not fit for purpose — especially when a vulnerable passenger is involved. Their refusal to replace the vehicle and their derisory offer show a complete lack of accountability.
This company prioritises protecting its own pocket over customer safety. Do not risk your holiday, your money, or your family’s safety with them.

翻译:无论如何都要避开Indie Campers——车辆存在安全隐患且完全不负责任
2026年8月20日至31日,我们全家通过Indie Campers租了一辆房车(预订编号:WMU233612-1),从伦敦卢顿出发前往挪威旅行。
取车时我们发现房车的主门存在明显故障。工作人员虽做了临时修理,却拒绝了我的换车请求。我在提车前就给他们发过邮件,请求提供一辆适合长途旅行的可靠车辆——但这个请求被忽视了。
抵达挪威两天后,车门出现了严重的安全隐患:它无法正常打开,甚至有完全脱落的风险。我们不得不用绳子把车门固定住以防其脱落,这导致车辆的速度受到极大限制。
我的63岁的妹妹患有某种疾病,使得她无法安全使用驾驶座车门。我们受到了格外严重的影响。由于中央车门无法上锁,每当我们其他人离开车辆时,就必须有一名家庭成员始终留在车内。由于车速限制以及行动受限,我们错过了事先预订的住宿、计划好的行程,甚至连加莱至多佛的渡轮也没能搭乘。
我联系了道路救援服务,并附上所有相关证据(照片、文件、通信记录)正式提出了投诉。Indie Campers的回应是什么呢?他们只给出了142英镑的赔偿。74. 他们只提供了“补偿”,却拒绝退还租赁费用、住宿费用、因误乘渡轮而产生的损失,也拒绝对由此带来的安全风险与给乘客造成的精神痛苦给予应有的认可。
一辆车门必须用绳子绑住的房车根本不符合上路标准,既不安全也无法正常使用——尤其是在车上还有身体较弱的乘客时。他们拒绝更换车辆且只给出了微不足道的补偿,充分体现了其完全漠视责任的态度。这家公司把保护自身利益置于顾客安全之上。切勿将您的假期、钱财以及家人的安全托付给他们。
