Ollie and Rach were great to communicate with! The van was a dream, my partner and I loved the little touches like the fairy lights, wooden bench, towels for us to use, and felt like there was adequate space to fit all of our belongings without being super cramped. Would definitely hire off Ollie and Rach again!

Ollie and Rach are amazing hosts, full of information and super friendly. Travelling the South Island in Vanessa was a blast. It's so well set up and super cosy. Would highly recommend.

We had the best time doing a road trip with Vanessa! The interior is really well designed, it uses the space really efficiently with good storage options whilst being warm and cosy. It comes with all the essentials you need, we were travelling light and didn't need to purchase anything for a 17 day trip. We had no issues with the van at all. Ollie and Rach were also super helpful and chilled which made the whole experience really pleasant and would highly recommend it to anyone!

We had the most amazing time traveling around South Island in Vango. The van included every to enjoy camping at both DOC sites and Holiday parks. Fresh water was extremely helpful and the ease to refill the 5 gallons was seamless. We had the BEST sleep ever! Seriously my boyfriend is 63 and we shared the bed so comfortably that he preferred it to a hotel queen. USB chargers and the twinkle lights made a special imprint and the handling in the road was TopNotch! Sooo much better to have a Diesel vehicle worry and stress free about the engine and rising costs of gas. We loved spending 10 nights and would recommend this van experience to our closest friends and family.

The interior of the van was extremely well thought out and had everything we needed for our trip. The bed was super comfy and the blinds were fantastic for a cosy sleep in . We had many admirers who walked by comment on the stylish wooden interior. The van drove extremely well on both straight highways and mountainous bends, with no issues at all. Pick up and drop off was very easy and communication before and during our trip was fantastic. Would highly recommend a trip in VanGo! Ollie and Rach were fantastic and great owners.

This van definitely made our trip a 10/10. Its designed so well, had everything we needed and was very functional. The wooden finishes inside are so unique and really make the experience even more amazing. We loved spending time in it. Such a cool van!! We had so many people asking about it. Ollie was such a great host! Communication was unreal, booking process was clear and easy, handover was great and helpful. Ollies travel tips and overall experience made us very comfortable with the trip from the get go. Would definitely recommend booking this van!! The toy bird on the dash is named Vinny btw.

We had a lovely 11 days in Vanessa. Such a cute and cosy vibe inside with the fairy lights. Shes set up with everything you need, extra blankets, extra towels etc. Ollie was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The van was reliable and got us through all the mountain passes etc from queenstown, wanaka and mount cook. Thanks again Ollie.
