  We had the best trip in Valerie. Aaron was so nice and a great communicator, the van was equipped with everything we needed, including dish soap and trash bags! All the details made the trip seamless, the van was clean and tidy, and there was great storage for our own luggage. The bed was very comfortable and inside the van we always felt safe and cozy. Would absolutely recommend this rental, we were able to see most of the North island, and finding overnight spots was a breeze. 10/10 experience !

  We recently hired Valerie for 10 days and explored the North Island. She was a very reliable and comfortable van and absolutely exceeded our expectations in all aspects, the photos are exactly what you get. All of the inclusions in the van made our trip that much better, more enjoyable and comfortable including plenty of storage and thoughtful touches. Aaron was very kind, positive and informative upon pickup and communicated throughout the trip ensuring everything was working well. I would definitely recommend Valerie to anyone looking to experience van life exploring the beautiful New Zealand.
