I absolutely loved the van I had! It had everything I needed for my trip around the Maritimes. The van was really nice to drive. Sheldon and Charlie were excellent with their communications. I would definitely rent from them again. 10/10

Casual Caravans was very easy to work with, communication was excellent. We had one of their vans for eleven nights. It made for a very enjoyable trip around Nova Scotia, PEI, and the Cabot Trail. The bed was comfortable, and everything was in working order and was very user friendly.
I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a few nights of VanLife.

Highly recommend this great independent company. We had a fantastic time exploring Cape Breton in August with a seamless pickup and drop-off. The van was clean, reliable, thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed and easy to drive. Sheldon and Charlie were friendly, helpful and responsive whenever we had queries. We definitely hope to book again for future adventures!

Interaction and booking was great with the company owner. The camper had everything you needed from towels for the beach, kitchen 🍽 items, toilet paper and kindle for a fire. There's even a little shower in the back and a toilet available upon request $. The van is older going 100 on the hwy was abit difficult, you really need a firm grip on the wheel, when the wind hits the van it shakes back and forth. Ventilation inside (summer) is hot for sleeping. Otherwise, we had a great trip and use of the vehicle would recommend this service, hopefully they will be able to upgrade the vehicles in the future.

Nous avons adoré notre expérience avec Casual Caravans! La van était impeccable, très confortable et parfaitement équipée pour notre road trip en Nouvelle-Écosse.

We had such an amazing 2 week adventure in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and it was all thanks to this amazing camper van from Casual Caravans The pickup was super easy and Charlie walked us through all of the van and it’s super easy to use systems. Charlie and Sheldon were also super easy to get a hold of throughout the trip when we had any questions. We rented bikes (shoutout Bike and Bean) so being able to rent the bike rack was a huge plus. The hot water for the shower and the sink was really nice, along with the van being fully stocked with everything we needed to cook all 3 meals. Again, this camper van was so awesome to live in for 2 weeks and we can’t thank Casual Caravans enough!

We had an absolutely amazing trip in our Casual Caravans Vintage Mercedes Sprinter Camper. It was a trip to remember and more than we could have imagined traveling through Newfoundland in our mobile fort. It was cozy and inviting on chilly nights and open and airy during warm spring evenings cooking meals and taking in the beautiful landscapes. Thanks Sheldon and team for providing us with a great home base for our travels. Would highly recommend you give Casual Caravans a spin through Canada's east coast.

We discovered Casual Caravans by a blind web search. We called and spoke with Sheldon and explained that we are a couple in our 70’s and were considering a month-long trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland but that we were first timers when it came to Van Life. We had many questions, and Sheldon had the answers to all of them and helped us through all the steps. He even had suggestions for travel ideas and destinations, many based on his own travel and life in Eastern Canada. His professionalism coupled with his naturally compassionate nature encouraged us to sign up with Casual Caravans immediately.
Our trip was remarkable. The van was comfortable, reliable and perfect for two older folks who were looking for an alternative to tent-camping (which we’ve enjoyed for nearly 50 years). Casual Caravans offers the best customer service. Sheldon was always available by message or phone for any problems or misunderstandings that popped up. When we encountered a minor electrical issue with the van, Sheldon drove the 5-hour roundtrip to meet us and fix the problem personally. That dedication to customer satisfaction gives first-timers, like us, an added level of confidence and security.
We thoroughly enjoyed our camper van experience and will do a camper van trip again and we will rent from Casual Caravans for any adventures in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Labrador. We recommend them highly.
