We had an amazing trip with Nova! Michelle was incredible to deal with and was so accommodating. 10/10 would recommend Nova for any couple/group looking to be transported back into the 80’s! Nova was stacked with everything we could ask for and more. They thought of everything!

Luna (the tricked out van) was perfect for what I needed it for...a place to bunk down after vigorous outdoor work. I never cooked in it so can't comment on that but the vehicle was reliable and warm and comfy to sleep in. I'd rent it afain

We had a great trip on Vancouver Island. The van worked great and communication with the hosts was excellent. Michelle was very accommodating and explained everything in details.

The van was great and Michelle & Justin were an absolute pleasure to deal with (so great we ended up extending our booking!) We had absolutely no mechanical issues throughout our roadtrip and we travelled quite a long way without ever hearing a funny sound or worrying about battery life! The only two cons to this van to keep in mind when booking were that there were no privacy curtains for the back or side windows so at night when we had the lights on you could fully see inside of the van - we purchased black towels the second night to hang inside for discrete camping and used these the rest of the trip. The second to keep in mind is the lack of storage as there are no cupboards above the counter or drawers under the bed to store clothes. All in all though these things were minor and easy to navigate. The van was great, Michelle and Justin were lovely and they did a great job making a little home on wheels and we were able to navigate those little things along the way to make for the perfect trip!

JustinAndMichelle’s answer

Hi Aidan, thank you for your review and honest opinion! We are glad to hear it was a great trip! We thought with the tinted windows, no additional privacy curtains were required and the storage container above the van would suffice for the lack of storage inside the van however, we will definitely take your feedback and put your suggestions to work! Thank you!

My partner and I came from New Brunswick and rented the van for a whole week to adventure and explore Vancouver Island for a week. Michelle was amazing to deal with and the van provided everything we needed and more. We would absolutely rent from them again and have already recommended the same to a few friends!

JustinAndMichelle’s answer

Hi Martine, thank you so much for your review! We are glad you had a great time! Thank you for the friend recommendation as well! We hope to see you next time!

Luna & I had a blast! My 💜 is full! I was a bit nervous as it was my first time travelling sola and Michelle was so supportive and encouraging. Luna is equipped with everything you need and more, The hosts have gone out of their way to ensure your experience is amazing. Literally all you need to take is clothes, toiletries and food! Regardless of how dumb my question was, Michelle always answered me and very promptly. If you’re thinking of trying out the van life and discover amazing places around the island, Luna will take you there and Michelle & Justin will make sure you got all you need! I highly recommend Luna, she is a bit older with few insignificant dents from previous trips (not mine 🤣 ) but very reliable, easy to drive and manouvrer, you just have to adapt to Lunas height as she is taller than your average car and drives differently in a sense. I’m looking forward to another trip to the island and to rent Luna again from Michelle & Justin. Happy travels Luna and all your new partners cheers 🫶

The campervan from Michelle and Justin has everything you need for camping! The campervan drives very well. We took it to Tofino and back with no unpleasant surprises.
Michelle and Justin were very responsive and accommodating for our schedule. They even changed an old but working battery with a new one, so that we won't have any problems while driving.
Overall, I can not recommend this campervan (and Michelle and Justin) enough!!

We hired Nova for a month to travel to the bike parks of BC.
Nova was great, no issues and a lot of fun. Michelle and Justin were fantastic. So much thought was put into everything and it made travelling easy. Thanks guys.

Jason and Michelle are organized, professional, and have thought of everything ! The van was well set up with lots of attention to detail, and was perfect for a kiting trip without having to bring our camping set up with us. They were awesome at giving recommendations, telling us what was included so we could pack for the trip without bringing a ton of extras. 10/10 experience! We kept getting compliments on the van everywhere we camped!
