We had an amazing trip on Vancouver Island! The van has everything you need and even more! It's easy to drive and super cute and comfy. Braden is an excellent host. Whenever I had a question, he was very quick to reply and help us with everything. I would definitely rent this van again.

Braden was so great to communicate with, and the van had everything we needed! Had such a fun time taking the van around the island, and would 100% rent from van the Island again!

We had more than enough stuff in the van to have a comfortable camping trip. Very easy to set up the bed. The perfect size for camping and going into towns.

These vans are the Swiss Army knife of small van conversions. Bedding and pillows were top notch as was all of the equipment and accessories provided.

Braden is such a friendly, helpfull and welcome person. Everything what you need on a trip was there and he was very welcome to explain how everything works. He also communicates really fast what makes it helpfull to go on or solve a problem.
Had a great trip on the Eastcoast of the Island.

Super compact and stealth for camping! Easy pickup and drop off and the van handled the mountain drives like a champ! Braden was great to deal with super quick communication, would definitely rent again :)

The host was always super accomodating and on hand to offer his support. His campervan was full of very handy tools and supplies, often if you needed something, it was already in the vehicle. The vehicle itself ran smoothly and did not cause me any trouble even driving it hundreds of miles over the course of my trip. For the price, it is a fantastic option to explore the island with.

We had a great trip with Van The Island's dodge caravan n°3. It has all the essential you might need for a getaway trip around Vancouver Island. Brendon is easily reachable and available for any questions. I would rent again.

Pros : Very well equipped van. Comfortable seat and very smooth driving. Braden is very reactive to answer your questions before and during the trip.
Cons : Old van (1999) although overall well maintained. Pick up and drop off without the owner being present. Once the bed is open, there's no space behind the front seats, so your bags and the coolers have to go on the passenger seat. Personally, I would not travel as a couple or even with a dog. The bed is not wide either. I would have appreciated if the stuff I didn't need has been removed beforehand to allow for more space but the owner didn't accept.

Thanks for the feedback Lea.
