We loved our trip in Mojito, the cutest Westfalia! She had everything we needed for an amazing easy trip up and down Vancouver Island. Easy pick up and drop off, and friendly hosts :) there were three of us in the van for four nights, and we were comfortable and warm sleeping, and loved how easy it was to pack up and move on each morning. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again!
Venessa’s answer
Thanks Mischa! It was great hosting the three of you. Looking forward to seeing you again on your next trip to the island!

What a fabulous experience! We rented the van to do a little road trip to Ucluelet with our two kids. We had a blast. The van was amazing - easy to drive and set up. It was fully equipped which made camping a breeze. Definitely would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the island at a leisurely pace!
Venessa’s answer
Happy to hear you and the kids have some great memories of your island adventure :)

Amazing experience with the Westy! Venessa and Aiton were easy to communicate with & readily available for any questions. The Westy came with everything needed (bedding, towels, dish soap, etc) and more! The van is extremely well maintained and perfect for the next road trip experience!

Unbelievable experience! The communication and flexibility in preparation for the trip was great. The van was well equipped - bedding, towels, pots and pans, as well as other cooking essentials. The van is well maintained, feels durable and is surprisingly fuel efficient. So easy to fly in from Calgary, pick up the van in a central location and hit the open road - perfect way to explore the island. We will definitely be renting again! Thanks Venessa and Aiton.

Everything about the trip was clear and honest, and the owners were incredibly customer centric and lovely. It’s nice to know that these platforms can attract responsible van owners that are dedicated to make the concept work. The van was amazing, highly recommend.
