Dan was great! And the van was perfect for our trip. Easily sleeps two, (without having to cuddle your friend), plenty of good cookware and drives smooth. Thanks again! Nick

We really enjoyed our time travelling in Ian the Van. Though we got off to a rocky start with some mechanical issues it was fixed as quickly as possible and all communications were swift and clear. Daniel kindly provided extra blankets and a hot water bottle which was really nice, in the end the weather was ideal and only one or two chilly evenings. We appreciated the sand fly spray and the fresh water that are supplied with the car. I would recommend this van to travellers who are experienced with older vehicles.

Ian was great! It was perfect for myself and my friend to travel the South Island. We never had any issue, was surprisingly good on fuel and had literally everything you would need for a road trip, I would definitely travel with Ian again. Thanks so much Dan, we had a great time! :)

I really enjoyed my 1 month road trip with Ian. It's maybe not the fanciest van, but he have everything you need. The drive is smooth and the seat are so comfy. Daniel is super reactive and accomodating.

Van drove smooth and has some minor things expected for an older van, but Daniel has good communication to problem solve and is helpful with addressing any problems/concerns

Had a lovely week using Ian the van, had everything we needed really. Dan was really nice and helpful, staying in contact throughout and giving us some recommendations and tips. Would recommend Ian to anyone travelling who wants to save some money !

I loved my 17 days adventure with van Ian! It has everything you need, it goes smoothly and my sleep in there was fantastic. There are some quirks with one of the doors but Daniel showed me everything at the first handover. Communication with the owner was always easy and clear. Daniel was very helpful and replied quickly to my messages when I had questions before and during the holiday. There was one day when I had to call the roadside assistance because of a flat tyre and Daniel replied immediately to my messages and was very understanding and helpful in a stressful situation - the problem was easily solved in the end! I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a good reliable campervan. Enjoy the trip!
