Indie Campers is a recreational vehicle (RV) rental company and road-trip marketplace headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal. Founded in 2013 by Hugo Oliveira and Stefan Koeppl, the company combines an owned fleet with a peer-to-peer marketplace of privately owned and professional-host vehicles. It operates in more than 100 locations across Europe, North America and Oceania and reports a fleet of over 10,000 owned vehicles, with additional inventory available via its marketplace.[1]
Indie Campers was founded in Lisbon in 2013 by Hugo Oliveira and co-founder Stefan Koeppl; Koeppl left the company in 2014.[1] In 2015 the public venture fund Portugal Ventures invested in the company; in 2017, after the firm's international expansion, that stake was sold.[2] Indie Campers was included among Europe's fastest-growing companies in the Financial TimesFT 1000 (2020) ranking, where Portuguese media reported it as a Top-40 entry.[3]
The company expanded to the United States in late 2021, opening its first location in Los Angeles with Jeep-based campers, followed by additional North American sites.[4] In 2023 the company entered Oceania with operations in Australia and New Zealand.[5]
In July 2024 Indie Campers raised €35 million in a round led by Indico Capital Partners, with participation from Cedrus and GED Ventures; in May 2025 it closed a €27.5 million extension, bringing total new funding over roughly one year to €62.5 million.[6][7]
Operations and business model
Indie Campers operates a hybrid model. Its owned fleet is deployed across a network of depots on three continents. In parallel, a marketplace present in Europe enables additional listings from private owners and professional hosts, broadening availability and geographical coverage beyond company-operated depots.
RV sales
The company is actively developing an RV sales business unit in Europe, North America and Oceania, focused on selling high-quality vehicles, including refurbished and de-fleeted units.[8]
Vehicle categories
As of 2025, Indie Campers groups its vehicles into five categories to simplify comparisons across regions. The categories align with widely used RV classes and typical layouts.[9]
The global headquarters is in Lisbon, Portugal. The company also operates regional offices in Mexico City (serving the North American market) and Manila (serving Asia–Pacific).[10][11]
