We had an amazing experience renting this Sprinter van. Jacob was fantastic to work with—friendly, responsive, and very accommodating with our schedule, which made the entire process easy and stress-free. The van itself was beautifully maintained, thoughtfully equipped, and incredibly well organized. Every storage container was clearly labeled, making it easy to find exactly what we needed. As first-time Sprinter van users, we especially appreciated the library of short, labeled instructional videos. They were easy to follow, and because they matched the labeled areas throughout the van, we felt confident operating everything from the start. It's clear that Jacob has put a lot of thought into creating a great experience for renters. We wouldn't hesitate to rent from him again and highly recommend this van to anyone, whether you're new to van life or an experienced traveler.

Black Water Tank: The van comes with an empty 5-gallon black water tank. Please make sure to empty it before returning the van. A $100 fee will apply if not emptied. 4. Driving: The van is to be driven by no more than 2 people. Please ensure that only authorized drivers are behind the wheel. 5.

Frequently asked questions

Q.

Do you offer delivery or have parking available for my vehicle?

A.

We do not offer delivery for the van. However, we are conveniently located less than 20 miles from SeaTac airport making the pickup a breeze! If you need to leave your vehicle, we have parking available for your convenience.

Q.

How long do the lithium batteries last?

A.

The battery life depends on how much electricity you use and what you’re using it for. Activities like cooking on the stove or taking long, hot showers will use more electricity than running the lights, fridge, diesel heater, or A/C. The good news is that the van has three ways to recharge the batteries: 1. 30 AMP Shore Power Connection – Plug in at a campground or similar location. 2. Alternator Charging – The batteries charge as you drive. 3. Solar Panels - Sunlight
