About Mercedes Renard

My Name is Mercedes and along with my husband Lionel we bought our sprinter van "Olive" a year ago. I had actually rented our van from Texino ( they are no longer in business) for my husbands 50th bday. i wanted to surprise him and take him on a surfing trip adventure that he would never forget. I had never traveled like this before so i thought why not. That trip changed our life. When i went to drop Olive off i just couldn't part ways. I knew right then and there that i needed her in our lives and that i also wanted to share her with other like minded individuals looking to explore the outdoors in comfort and ease. We bough Olive last year and since then it's been amazing. We take a lot of care when prepping the Van for our customers so they can have the best time possible. We look forward in hosting you soon.

We rented Olive for a long weekend at our kids’ sporting events. She was the perfect place to getaway from the heat to rest. Mercedes was a lovely host and thoroughly explained how everything worked. We hope to invest in our own van - this was thr perfect way to try it out and convinced us that we definitely need a van in our lives.

Mercedes’s answer

I’m so happy you and your family enjoyed your experience. It was an absolute pleasure to host you all and know that Olive is at your disposal if ever you need a second van to roam in after you get yours :-)

This camper was perfect for my family camping trip in Kern County. It was easy to drive and slept two adults and two children more comfortably than tents have in the past. Mercedes is very communicative and responds quickly. She’s also very friendly—a great host. We will definitely keep an eye out for Olive next time we need a camper. Great experience!

This was our first time both renting from Outdoorsy as well as a Sprinter van and the first time we've ever driven one. Mercedes is a fantastic host, and her van (Olive) is truly precious. Our family of 4 had no problems with the van. It supported us in our impromptu camping trip along the central coast. The outdoor shower is great, the stove and cookware work fantastic, and the interior is perfectly set up and beautiful. Mercedes has a great response time and you really can't go wrong with her guidance if you are new to this. I am so grateful for hosts and rentals like her + Olive because it gives all of us the opportunity for new experiences and growth.

Our experience with Olive was AMAZING!!! Took our daughter camping for the first time and she was STOKED when she saw this beauty pull up. Mercedes was an awesome host. She gave a very detailed explanation of the functionality of the van. SUPER EASY to operate. The car was immaculately clean and she even prepped the beds with beautifully smelling linens. 1000% renting this van again for our next camping trips. 5 stars!!!

Our trip with Olive 🫒 was exceptional! My partner Jeffery and I had the most glorious time traveling from LA to New Mexico and Joshua Tree with the well equipped, clean, reliable, adorable and esthetically beautiful Olive. She held us and supported us through a lightning storm, our time at Unison Festival, and watched the sunset with us in Joshua Tree. The sleeping space on the top was perfect as we traveled for days, as we brought tons of sound equipment with us for sound healings and tent setups. The Murphy bed was such a nice touch when we slept by the river at night, the window coverings were perfect to keep it dark, cozy, and private — the stove was perfect for our meals and nourishing others — and so nice to have an outside shower with curtain to rinse off the day.

Mercedes’s answer

Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed experience. For being out first clients on Outdoorsy you were a dream to work with! Respectful and easy to communicate with as well. You took care of Olive like she was yours and we would love nothing more for you both and to take her out again on another adventure. Here’s to next time! ❤️
