Caleb was amazing! Such a smooth process from beginning to end. We ran into a few hiccups on our trip, mostly weather related, and he was so quick to respond and help us out.

Kimberly was a gracious and attentive host. Once we met to hand over the keys, she did a fantastic job going over the van's workings and covering everything I should know. I felt at ease taking off and knowing where everything was. The van itself was fantastic. It is modern and equipped with all the essentials you need for an overnight camp. We didn't feel like we needed to bring additional things along because Kimberly made sure that it truly felt like a home on wheels. Having the rear view cameras, blind spot alerting, and even Apple Car Play, I had no issues navigating the road and feeling comfortable driving it. It was truly a great experience and I would highly recommend anyone looking to rent a camper van to give this one a chance. As an added bonus, our dogs loved the road trip and being able to hop right outside into nature.
