Wicked Campers Australia Reviews 

The pickup was really easy. We have driven around 4500km so far and no problems yet. Overall a nice experience. I would say tho that if it included a sheet it would be nice. The mattress in the back is not the best. But other than that it’s good. Great value for money, that’s for sure.

Good experience with Wicked Campers Australia, rental from Cairns to Brisbane went very well except for the fact that we had booked to have a fridge and we didn't get one. No problems with the car, it drove very well and we were able to park everywhere. The pick up and drop off went very well, no complaints!

Great vehicle, jonney feel good, no hiccups on the way!

The van was nothing as shown in the advertising. Bumper held together with zip ties, very used including the bedding and camping gear. Very disappointed.

Everything was good

Rented a 4WD camper from Alice Springs.

The reception is a towing company; not a very trustful place. The ladies did their best to make the best out of the situation.

The car had automatic transmission; the transmission failed to switch gear above the third gear; so I constantly had to switch manually to get this car get faster than 30 km/h. During driving the car always switched the gear down and I had to switch it up again to finally reach a speed of 90 km/h. Almost any warning light on the dashboard of the car was on; the ladies told me, the car is fine but they can’t turn the warnings off. I constantly received errors during driving.

Scratched my finger on the first day at the ladder from the tent which had pretty sharp hooks.

The comfy matress was a cheap piece of foam already worn out to a thickness of 1 cm; not comfy at all.

The camper itself was dirty like hell; after touching anything, you needed to wash hands.

After returning the car in Alice Springs again and letting the ladies know about it’s really bad condition they told me that they don’t really know why this car is still being rented to anyone…

You can't beat driving the mystery machine around Australia! It was definitely an old van so don't expect cruise control, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. Paintjob was incredible and definitely got us a few stares!

Overall great experience with wicked campers. Nice and easy booking and pick up / drop off. Our vehicle had everything you needed for off roading / camping. Highly recommend

Picked this van up in Sydney and drove up the east coast. Was a great experience and exactly what we needed. Would recommend to any people looking for a small quality van.

I had to push back my holiday, the ladies on the phone were helpful and quickly changed and confirmed my booking. We arrived to the depot after hours and the process to get the keys was simple and fast. The van itself is everything you need for a good adventure, will definitely be booking through wickedcampers again!

I was thrown off by the car yard at Hobart. A lot of wicked vans with doors off and looked like a scrap yard. The car steering had issues such as when I drove over 80 km/ph it would drift side to side which scared me. I called the company to get someone to come have a look and I was told ‘it’s just the wind’ and no one came to look at the van. The bed was super uncomfortable and graffiti inside the van. Seems like the bond money doesn’t get used for fixing the cars. The paint job was very scratched up and a few dings in the car. The carpet under the driver seat was all torn up. I ended up leaving the van at a friends place and jumping in with a friend to feel safer.

One way rental from Sydney to Brisbane! Van did the job for what we needed. Less space in the van than expected but we were able to sleep fine. If you want comfort, pay extra and get a bigger van - it’s worth it. Staff were very helpful throughout the trip!!

Cool scooby doo van, did the job. First van broke down 2mins down the road. Got a replacement van friendly staff at the Depot (25 Erskine rd, Caringbah, NSW). Unfortunately picked up with no fuel, or chairs minor inconveniences overall cool experience.

One way rental Sydney to Brisbane after a flight was cancelled to Brisbane.

The car is as advertised, don't expect the type of vehicle you'd get from Avis or Enterprise, they've done some time.

Pickup and dropoff was very quick and easy, and I do really like their pre-check in to make the pick up as quick and seamless as possible.

When I arrived at the pickup location at the pick up time there was nobody there. I had to call the head office and wait until a mechanic showed up. The mechanic was super helpful getting me on my way.
The van itself worked fine, no issues.
They charged me an outback fee as well as a daily remote fee which I found somewhat redundant. Drop off was easy aside from being told I had to go find a dumpster to throw out the bedding that came with the van. All in all good experience.

I rented a D5 4x4 Adventure Camper for a week from the Darwin depot. The low spec van was never going to be comfortable, but it did everything that it was supposed to do and was in acceptable condition.

I accepted the extra charges levied for the 4x4 over the Johnny Feelgood because it comes with a solar panel to drive the fridge. A good decision, but at a huge cost:
The national park surcharge was $300 ($50 for a 2WD) at a time of year when only the sealed roads were open
Insurance was both more expensive and less comprehensive for the 4WD
The bond for the 4WD was $2000 compared to $500 for the 2WD

As expected, I returned the vehicle with more fuel and in better condition than when I picked it up, expecting the bond to be returned within a few days.

Two weeks later, I am still awaiting any correspondence relating to the return of the vehicle and there is no sign of my bond being returned. Wicked's T&Cs give them 7 - 30 days to return the bond. If the vehicle had been damaged, I can understand that it might take 30 days to assess, but for a vehicle returned in good order, there is no excuse for the delay. Having $2000 still not available on my credit card is limiting the funds available to enjoy the rest of my holiday. Thanks Wicked!

The only correspondence received from Wicked is repeated requests for feedback. If they were more ethical in the way that they handled my money, they might have got 4 stars, but under the circumstances they are lucky to get 2.

Get your act together Wicked. With a better attitude to administration, you could be running a good business.

The service at the reception was great and relaxed. Also the fact that we were able to Lian some extra stuff was great

A few issues with picking up the camper van so make sure you have a contact number in advance if you’re picking up out of hours. Everything else was seamless and the camper was great. Also, the return process was nice and easy too. Better communication would have taken the rating up a bit.

You get what you pay for and thats certainly the truth with Wickedcampers. We enjoyed our time and knew when hiring the van we would be roughing it. We hired the Mystery machine 2 and it gave adults a right giggle when they saw us and kids were very excited when we drove past. We got a mattress topper because the mattress is very hard. There was no blinds on windows so we had to get coverings for them ourselves. There was no way to ventilate the van at night as we couldn't open the windows which made it very uncomfortable at times. But otherwise it did what we needed to do for over 3k kms. Bit clanky and old but we had fun.

We hired a campervan to drive from Perth to Exmouth. We found the tents on the roof very convenient and the 4x4 allowed us to visit the Francois Perron national Park which is fabulous. Nevertheless, we got a flat battery and had to change it and the fridge didn’t work well neither and had to be changed too. But even with a new one, the fridge didn’t really work when we weren’t driving despite the solar panel.
