I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Brett the host and Doris, the VW Van. From the beginning, Brett was very communicative and even made suggestions on how to avoid local events that would have impacted my trip. He was also flexible with my arrival and departure times as my schedule changed a few times–even when it meant an earlier than antiicated pickup. Brett checked with me during the trip to make sure all was well. When I dropped off the van, he made sure I was able to get to the airport. Doris, the van, ran like a champ and was the highlight of our camping trip. I’ve seen many Volkswagen buses over the years, but this one was in especially great shape and running condition. It also had many add-ons such as the tent that attached to the side of the camper. I would highly recommend renting this Vanagon from Brett and hope to return for a longer trip with my wife.
