I booked a RV through Motorhome Republic.
I booked a RV through Motorhome Republic and the booking service was very easy.
On our trip I had some problems with the RV & due to our circumstance I did contact the retail company at the time.
I let them know when I drop it off, but they just noted it down.
Motorhome republic then contacted to see how my booking went.
From that they followed up all of our concerns & were able to come up with a solution which they weren't responsible for.
I didn't expect anything to come from this but was very impressed by the way they have handled the whole process.
Would highly recommend there services.

Great Motorhome Experience
Thank you,Iulia, for sorting some very complex arrangements with my motorhome rental in New Zealand after I found that the ferry between the North Island and the South Island was completely booked out. Iulia was completely invested in helping me, even using her day off to make sure all the paperwork and arrangements were sorted before my rental commenced to ensure that I could get a refund (which I received). Iulia could not have been more helpful and professional and ensured that my husband and I had a brilliant motorhome experience in New Zealand.

A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE
We booked and paid in full for a campervan 6 months in advance of our trip to NZ. We had a week in the North Island before picking up the van in Christchurch. 2 days before our pick up date the van was cancelled. It was at this point we discovered that Motorhome Republic had booked the van with a company called Kiwi Campers. Both indicated to us that we had initiated the cancellation.After we made it clear that we had not initiated a cancellation, Kiwi Campers (KC) then said there was a fault with the van and it was unsafe to drive!! To add stress to the whole situation KCwere not at all interested in helping to locate another van. Motorhome Republic did refund our money immediately and attempted to locate another van but were unsuccessful. When checking through reviews of both companies it was clear that Kiwi Campers are very unreliable and as such I question why Motorhome Republic continue to use this company. Motorhome Republic Reviews are varied. Overall we will not be using either company again and will not be recommending them to any of our family and friends wanting to camp and drive around NZ.

Dear Mr Kelland,
Thank you for your review. We are very sorry for the disappointment caused by the cancellation of your booking and understand how stressful this must have been so close to your trip.
Unfortunately, we were informed by our rental partner, Kiwi Campers, that they were unable to provide the booked vehicle due to unforeseen operational issues and the reservation had to be cancelled.
We understand there was confusion caused by the automated cancellation email stating the booking was cancelled “at your request.” This wording is part of the standard cancellation email, and the cancellation was not requested by you. We apologise for any misunderstanding this may have caused.
Once notified, we contacted alternative suppliers to try to locate a suitable replacement vehicle and discussed possible options with you, including alternative dates and pickup locations. Unfortunately, due to low availability at that time, we were unable to secure a vehicle with the required features for the full duration of your trip.
We understand you were able to arrange an alternative rental independently, and a full refund was processed promptly.
We sincerely apologise again for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback.
Kind regards,
Shin

I am very disappointed with my experience with Motorhome Republic.
I originally booked a 6-person motorhome. After requesting a change of dates, I was assured by the rental supplier that they could still provide a 6-person vehicle. However, when we arrived for check-in, we were given a 4-person motorhome instead.
This created a serious problem for our group, as we had specifically booked accommodation for six people. At no point did I agree to downgrade the vehicle size — I only requested a change of dates. Being told one thing in advance and receiving something completely different upon arrival is simply unacceptable.
What is also concerning is how Motorhome Republic handled the situation. As a third-party platform that earns a percentage of the booking, they upheld the supplier’s position and rejected my refund request, rather than objectively reviewing the facts. It raises the question of how impartial such a decision can truly be.
Overall, the lack of accountability, transparency, and customer support has left me extremely dissatisfied. I would strongly advise future customers to double-check everything in writing and be cautious when making changes, as support in resolving disputes may not be as fair as expected.

Dear Marie,
We’re sorry to read that you remain disappointed with your experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the circumstances.
Our records show that the original booking was made for an incorrect month. You later contacted the rental supplier directly to amend the travel dates. As the originally reserved 2018 model was not available for the revised dates, the supplier offered an alternative 2020 model vehicle. This vehicle remained a 6-berth, configured with two double beds and one dinette bed (the original layout included two double beds and one cab-over bed), and was the same length at 7 metres.
We understand the supplier explained the revised bed configuration prior to travel, and the amended vehicle was accepted by you at that time without concerns being raised.
The 2020 model is typically priced at a higher daily rate than the 2018 model originally booked; however, the supplier honoured the amended dates without increasing the overall price. They also arranged relocation of the vehicle to accommodate the revised booking.
As the date amendment and vehicle substitution were agreed directly with the rental provider prior to travel, and the vehicle supplied aligned with the amended confirmation, we are not in a position to provide a refund for a service delivered in accordance with that agreement.
We appreciate that changes to travel plans can be stressful, and we genuinely regret that you feel dissatisfied. We always encourage customers to carefully review amended confirmations before travel to ensure everything meets their expectations.
Kind regards,
Shin

Booked through this company for our trip to perth and was supplied a camper van of which wasnt the same as what we paid for from Indie Campers
should of had one with two double beds already made but got one with only one and had to keep making the other up.
after two days this broke down and we was stranded for two days in a car park, we was then picked up by tow truck and had to endure 6 hour journey back to get replacement of which only slept two people so had to buy a tent for my daughter and boyfriend.
we got 135AUD compensation from indie campers for loss of holiday, no refund for difference in campers.
we was offered 574AUD from indie after much complaining but never received it.
motor home republic havent been any help chasing this and they offered 250AUD but weve never recieved that either, we are so dissapointed that companies can treat people like this.
i have now had to try and claim through credit card company.
please beware that these people take your money then simply dont care, zero customer support

Dear Lewis,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to read about the difficulties you experienced during your trip and understand how frustrating this situation must have been.
As the rental provider, Indie Campers is responsible for the vehicle supplied and any operational matters during the hire. That said, our team has been in contact with them regarding the compensation discussed.
Regarding the AUD 250 offered from our end, we regret there was a delay in processing this refund. We can confirm this has now been processed.
In relation to the additional compensation offered by Indie Campers, we have escalated this matter again and have been advised they will contact you directly to clarify the refund amounts and confirm when these were processed.
We appreciate your patience while this is being resolved and remain available should you require any further assistance.
Kind regards,
Shin
