About Jess Sponenberg

Rio was a dream of ours for a very long time, and when we decided to build out a van perfect for us, we also wanted to make sure it was one of the best vans on the market. We want folks to use our van every time they rent because they see the one of a kind layout (truly, one of a kind, you'll see why) designed by us, done by pros, but also because they love the hosts. Word of mouth is powerful since we all rely on trustworthy experiences. We look forward to showing you a great trip and earning your business. Stay with Rio!

If you thought of it…. So did they! This VAN has everything you need! Jess did a great job of explaining everything when you pick it up!
And even threw in some fresh ground local coffee that was amazing!

This was our third camper van rental for a 10-14 day vacation. Overall this was our favorite van yet. The solar power and diesel worked great. The bed slept amazing - best ever!!!!! It also drove well and the backup cameras were so helpful, especially the one from above. The dual ceiling fans/ventilation were also pretty terrific. We had an amazing tour of the San Juan’s and made a ton of terrific memories together thanks to Rio:)

My wife and I had the most incredible trip to Colorado thanks to Rio. It was comfortable and easy to navigate. All of the amenities are incredible and simple to use.

It was an amazing experience. The hosts were absolutely incredible. They were great at communicating, and the vehicle was fun to drive to! Would definitely rent from them again!

Jess was an amazing host and the van was perfect as well as very clean. It’s a well designed layout that handled 2 adults + 2 teenagers. There were some nice, unexpected perks like coffee and drinks in the fridge among other things, that went above and beyond. Rent with confidence!

Over the years I have rented various objects including surfboards, bikes, cars, and homes, and I have never met hosts more thoughtful and accommodating than Jen and Jess. It’s really quite simple, you want to rent from these two.

Thanks Todd! We are looking forward to hosting you and your family again and again. I am so glad Rio was all that you had hoped for and more. That's the goal! Cheers!
