5.0The Goose performed perfectly the entire trip. Me and my partner drove all over Northern California. Fantastic van camping experience! Will most likely rent the Goose again should I return for another adventure on the west coast. Zach was very easy to work with and accommodated us on how everything worked.

Yes. The Goose has three locations Walnut Creek where you can pet our horses, San Francisco where I have a smallish garage, and Roseville. Let's discuss the particulars, it's possible.
