Rental Vehicle & Van Life FAQs

We offer Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit vans for hire. They offer the most practical, comfortable and affordable set-up for off road van life in South Africa. See vehicle specifications for more details.


The rental price includes the van and everything in it and awesome support from start to finish, including roadside assistance. It also includes basic insurance. If you need anything else please get in touch.


Absolutely! You only have to bring your own clothes and stock up with food and we'll take care of the rest. PS. We can also stock you up with food & a menu plan if you want!


We don't like saying NO - but unfortunately this is one of those times when we have to! Those hairs and smells are hard to shift! The good news? It means you can be even more sure you are getting a sparkly rental van - we take cleanliness very seriously! 


There are a few. You are restricted to driving in South Africa only (except without prior permission) and no hard core 4x4 trails. That's pretty much it! You can see full details in our Terms and Conditions.


You pay a 30% deposit to secure the booking (similar to a rental property). You'll pay the balance one week before vehicle pick-up. 


You can either pick up the vehicle from us in Noordhoek, Cape Town, or we can deliver to you in Cape Town. Same with the drop-off. It's super easy really!


Unfortunately not! 


Absolutely! Roadside assistance is included in the rental price. If you breakdown you will be towed to the nearest town that can offer assistance. 


If you want to modify the van please let us know. 


We can help with many things. Just let us know what you need and we'll try to make a plan! 


Every camper is thoroughly cleaned and checked between rentals. All the linen provided is fresh!


None! However, just remember that any damage to the van will be for the account of the renter - and the likelihood of damage at a festival is much higher due to party shenanigans. If you are prepared to take that risk, then crack on!


Yes! During the rental booking process we'd be happy to share routes and tips from our many years of experience, depending on your specific needs. We're also on hand during your trip to support you should you need.


South Africa is bursting with fantastic campsites in the most amazing locations. Book ahead in peak season to ensure you get a pitch and enjoy!

Van pick-up and drop-off FAQs

You can either pick up the van from us in Noordhoek, Cape Town, or we can deliver to you (In the Cape Town area). We'll go through the van with you (takes about 30-45 mins), and ensure you are happy with the condition of the van.

Then it's just the open road calling and off you go!
