What our customers say about their experience
If you need a rental van this is DEFINITELY the place to go through!! Justin was SO informative and helpful throughout the whole process, and was extremely flexible with our drop off time at the end since we had a flight to catch and we were cutting it super close. My bestfriend and I rented the Appalachia for a music festival and it was nothing short of perfect. There was PLENTY of space for the 2 of us, the stove and toilet were the cherry on top, plus it had heat to keep us warm at night. Will absolutely be using vander again next time we come back thanks so much for everything!

We are stoked to hear that you enjoyed the Appalachia at Seven Stars! It is a really great setup for festivals, with all of the basics covered in a compact and self-contained package. We hope to see again next year for pt 2!
I had such a fantastic experience renting a sleeper van from this company! The communication was absolutely stellar — they were so patient, accommodating, and knowledgeable every step of the way. As a first-time sleeper van renter, I felt completely at ease thanks to their clear guidance and thorough walk-through of every amenity. They even worked around our hectic schedule to make sure we had the best experience possible.
The van itself was thoughtfully equipped — it truly felt like they had considered every little detail to make the trip comfortable and fun. The customer care was absolutely incredible all around. The van added so much positivity to our camping experience. I highly recommend!

Thank you for choosing Vander and we are so glad to hear that the van met all of your expectations! We hope to see you again soon!
Vander was an excellent choice for my family's first RV camping experience. The DMV Cruiser had everything we needed for our trip, was clean and ready to go when we picked it up, and Justin made picking up and returning the van smooth and easy. Would highly recommend Vander to anyone looking for a camper van rental and I fully intend to use them again for our next camping road trip.

We are glad that the van met your expectations and we definitely look forward to supporting the next camping trip!
We had a great time taking the van camping at the beach! It came with everything so we had to pack much less than tent camping. All went well with pickup and drop off.

It is great to hear that your beach trip went well with Blues Traveler! We enjoy tent camping as well, but sometimes it is nice to be able to pull in and pull out without all of the setup and tear down. Hope to see you again soon!
The van we rented was easy to drive and well equipped. Justin was helpful and paid attention to details which helped make our trip relaxing and fun.

Glad to hear that the van was what you needed for your trip! Hope to see you again next time you come back!
We rented with Vander Outdoors for a trip to Shenandoah National Park and it was great! The features were handy (water access, red lighting, fans, bedding, etc.), clean, and easy to use. Justin did a great job of explaining everything in the car prior to handing it off to us. He was super communicative as well and met at us at a convenient location for pick up/drop off. Would definitely rent from this company again!

We are so glad that you enjoyed the trip. Thank you for taking the chance on a whole new van model, your experience and feedback is appreciated! Hope to support your next trip!
We had the honor of meeting Justin in person, and we can confidently say he is a true professional when it comes to business operations and promoting his services. It’s truly exciting to see a company on the East Coast that can meet even the highest expectations for camper van rentals. Moreover, we know firsthand that the rates are very affordable, and the units are always exceptionally clean. Highly recommended!
