Recommendations• There is so much to explore here in Western Canada. I love traveling thru Vancouver Island and the gulf islands. Hornby Island and Quadra Island are some of my favorites. A trip to Tofino is a must. The Okanagan is fabulous for lakes, fruit and wine country. Many of my renters love a trip to the Canadian Rockies. Other things to noteNo smoking in the van please!
Dry off any pets before allowing them in the van 🐾
Pick up can not be after dark. The van can not be taken into the US.

I can’t thank Catherine enough for her effort in clear communication, organisation of the van, cleanliness of the van and running me through everything I needed to know for my trip. She was always available for me to contact her if needed. Lilypad was such a please to drive, we certainly had an adventure and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. The van was so cosy and comfortable and I only wish I had been able to use her for longer.

Ha the Lilypad! We will remember you for a long long time! Despite your stubbornness about shifting gear, and your fridge door that didn’t always want to stay closed in curves, you brought us everywhere we wanted to and helped us discover Vancouver Island! Thanks for being a comfy ride as well as a comfy home for 3 weeks! We loved your suspension as well! 😁

Catherine was very responsive, and communication was smooth. The Lilypad is very comfortable, very clean, and perfect for a couple. It’s a 1987 vehicle, so you need to keep that in mind and drive gently, but otherwise, we had no issues. We spent a month in it and drove over 4500 km. I highly recommend this vehicle, and we returned it to its owner with a bit of sadness.

We did a wonderful 8-days trip to discover Vancouver Island, with orcas and whales seen along the way. The Lilypad is clearly the perfect companion for such a road trip and Catherine makes sure you have everything you need to cook, sleep, enjoy, in the best possible comfort. She also has been extremely available to discuss with her from weeks before to just after the rent. I strongly recommend!

Nous avons passé 15 jours avec ce van et tout s'est particulièrement bien déroulé. Il fonctionne parfaitement (à l'exception du frigo qui était non-fonctionnel durant notre voyage), démarre au quart de tour, est bien équipé et surtout est très confortable ! Catherine est une hôte géniale, toujours réactive et prête à donner des conseils. Nous étions 3, 2 adultes et un enfant et tout s'est déroulé à merveille. Je vous recommande vraiment ce van qui est un super compromis entre confort et compacité.
