Jess the Van was perfect for our style of traveling! We are simple, minimalistic travelers and we were able to cover a lot of ground with flexibility staying in this self-contained campervan. The storage and space were ample for our gear, and it was easy to make and put away the bed each day. We had all the equipment we needed to make meals, picnic, and clean up. It was exactly what we had expected upon rental. Jarrad communicated with us in a timely manner before, during, and after our rental. He was extremely flexible and accommodating with our pick-up and drop-off, going above and beyond to help us with transportation. He explained the workings of the van and even sent us a video demonstration in case we forgot. He was a 5-star host!

We had an amazing time in the van! Very reliable ride- took us over the Southern Alps and back without complaints! Van came with everything needed for breakfast and lunch/dinner prep. Jarrad was very easy to contact and communicate with! Larry offers everything you need from a compact campervan and much easier to handle than a truck-size camper. Would highly recommend for other guests that know each other well- or would like to get to know each other better! Just one possible improvement - for non-couples 2 blankets would be nice to have!

Had an awesome week driving, tramping and camping in Jess along West Coast and the big lakes. Perfect little travelling home, has the size advantage of being able to park in standard car parks but also full standing room in the living space which was awesome in intermittent weather and felt like a full living space. Very easy kitchen and water set up and operation. Tidy and comfy professionally set up camper at a mates rates price. Jarrad is a really good dude with good travel tips and super easy to deal with. Fully self contained which opens up freedom camping options too which is so handy for spontaneous camping spot discoveries. Will definitely be booking Jess again for our next South Island loop, miss her already! Thanks heaps

Our road trip with Jarrads van went really well! The van is well-equipped, works perfectly, and was very clean. Jarrad even provided extra blankets and a portable heater, and kindly dropped us at our hotel after the rental. A big thank you, and see you soon, Larry the van!

We had an awesome trip away in Larry. The van experience was better than expected. Jarrad was very helpful and went out of his way to explain everything to us. Highly recommend Larry.

We had a great 3.5 weeks with Larry! Its a great and reliable, modern Van that has everything you need! We never had to plug in at a Campsite thanks to the solar panel, with the certificate youre able to park almost anywhere which is really convenient! Jarrad was super kind and helpful, Im sure he does more than other people to assure youre perfectly happy and ready to travel. His response and always quick! No issues at all. Thank you very much for this lovely and easy trip! Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Larry the van was perfect for our 12 day travel around the South Island. Everything we needed to make our trip comfortable was in the van, and putting the bed together on the evenings was a breeze. Jarrad was very helpful with any questions we had, and pick up and drop off was very easy as he is located near the airport. Highly recommend this van for your NZ adventure!

Jarrad was friendly, flexible, and communicative and Id highly recommend renting from him. Barry was a great van and worked very well for my two week trip. The solar powered van made it nice not having to worry about finding powered plug in camp spots too.
