Anyone hired a Wicked Camper before? 28-Jan-2014 At 3:16:53 PM sbm

I hired one for our infamous first backcountry skiing trip a few years back, and to be honest swore never to do it again.

On the plus side they rented a van with unlimited kms to an under 25 for significantly cheaper than other options. On the downside we had to jump start it basically every time, the AC also didn't work so driving had to be done wearing full winter layers. It had trouble getting over 80kmh but I got it up to the speed limit after half an hour of warming up.

Everyone on the road will treat you worse than a cyclist in Sydney, I've never been honked at so much in my life.

We most certainly did not void the insurance by driving through the night or up the dirt road beyond Guthega power station.

They also didn't pay my deposit back until after a couple of weeks of hassling - it was almost predatory.
