Nate, the owner, also went out of his way to set us up with a last minute rental on his day off -- not to mention he provided us with an innovative sleeping option for our 8 month old son, which worked out pretty well. That was a serious concern of ours not knowing how/where he'd sleep with us in the van, but we're glad we decided to proceed with the trip (with Nate's recommended option) despite our uncertainty with the precious cargo. Nate also gave us some valuable pointers with campsite booking websites that were easy to use and much better than what we were previously using (painfully). On a side note, we had been considering a VW camper van for rent instead, but the reliability and modernness of the Trekker Van was the major selling point for us. read less

The transformation from a plain Jane Ford Transit to a Trekker Van truly sets these vans apart. We had a highly functional cleaning area, comfortable and spacious sleeping quarters, ample storage space, large refrigerator and a loaded camping kit. This “pick up and go” kit allowed us to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for 8 days without packing a single camping tool (we flew in from Canada). The V6 allowed us to average ~ 18 mpg which helped save a lot on gas. Having a home on wheels made our road trip around Cali fantastic, and could not imagine doing it any other way. read less

The owner was incredibly helpful in working with our last-minute scheduling and knew the vans inside and out. Well designed, VERY clean, and relatively spacious vans. The easy-to-use camp stove, cookware, and camp chairs included were a major benefit. The return policy (clean van, full gas) required some coordination at the end of our trip but all in all I would strongly recommend this company. read less

But now that I have tried Trekker Vans - I may have found the best of all worlds. The vans drive very well and are quite economical. They also offer you the flexibility of pulling into a campground or finding a side road near the beach. Nate outfits the vans to allow for full inside access to the kitchen area, a huge plus when it's raining and you just need to make your morning tea. The small refrigerator worked like a charm, keeping my daily fish fresh and my wine cold.

The bed is incredibly comfortable - some of the best nights sleep I have ever had a trip - the one time I did check into a hotel, I was tempted to sleep in the van as I had a herd of elephants in the room above me.

Nate has developed a company that not only provides a top notched product, but couples it with excellent customer service - from the minute I started to chat with him on-line, until the time I returned the van, I felt a valued part of the company. STOP looking at other van rentals - THIS IS THE ONE.

If you aren't into tent camping or not sure about doing that, the van is a great option. We drove about 1600 miles total in CA and OR - the van drives very easy and gets good mileage - about 17-18 mpg, with plenty of power. Nate supplies most everything you need and if you ask for something and he has it, he'll give it to you (he gave us a great knife to use for chopping and cutting). Nate was very flexible in pick up and drop off times to fit our flight and long drive back on the last day.
We got the roof top tent and used it the first night, but decided inside worked just fine for sleeping (and much easier if nature calls). For four people, you need it though. If you like to cook, add a second butane grill so you can have two going at once and for a longer trip you might need the extra butane cans. The grills are great - very fast and easy to operate and clean up. Nate takes the time to show you everything when you arrive - we had good weather, so we kept the table folded down.
The van layout is very convenient - the fridge holds more than you think and the pantry is a plus. We didn't use the water/sink much at all (except stashing paper towel rolls on top of the water tanks and as a fruit bowl) - we just filled water jugs at the campgrounds and washed dishes at the camp spigots. Bring a couple fast-dry towels for that. The passenger front seat swivels around, which is a great place to put stuff at night like flashlights and toiletries.
All in all, a great experience and great customer service. We'd do it again if we are out that way in the future. read less

The vans are clean, modern, and easy to drive. They blend in with "normal" vehicles and don't stick out like an RV, which is a bonus for boondocking and security in parking lots. Nate has done an amazing job designing the camper interior kit for easy use and comfort. Everything you need for a trip is there: bed, table, fridge, sink, stove, storage...even dishes, folding chairs, and optional roof-top tent. Easy reservation process and great customer service. Highly recommended for easy, comfortable RV camping! read less

The vans are well-designed and clean, and the rental comes with all the infrastructure you would need (chairs, stove, etc). The bed is super comfy and warm! I was a little scared because we've never done anything this adventurous, but the owner Nate helped answer all our questions to help us prepare. There's nothing more relaxing than sitting on the back bench with the doors open, reading a book and watching the waves! Definitely recommend Trekker Vans for a unique vacation adventure. read less

(call me crazy) According to my research these were my options with the other van rental companies. I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb when I am driving (either recreationally or day-to-day).

Happy to say Trekker Vans "gets it". Their vans are clean, well equipped, and neutral in color! The owner, Nate, is awesome. He was helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. You can see that this is not just a professional endeavour for him but rather an outlet for his passion for exploration - something we shared which was nice.

Hopefully someday I will be able to have my own weekend warrior van but until that time, I will most certainly be coming back to Trekker Vans to blaze new trails and satisfy my wayward aspirations... read less

Also, there is plenty of room for all the stuff that can make camping comfortable, like shade structures, chairs, little stove... so it's easy to pack up and go. read less

Nice big windows and it sits high up, so we had amazing views for the passengers going up Hwy 1 and over the Golden Gate Bridge.
The drop off and return facility is close to San Francisco and very near SFO, so an easy place to rent from if you happen to be flying in to San Francisco.
Nate gave a very thorough orientation of the van, so we were comfortable driving and setting it up to camp.
The rooftop tent is easy to use and very comfortable, it has a gear loft for your stuff and a lamp to use at night. lots of storage under the benches inside the van and a handy sink for washing up.
Makes camping in fall and winter months easy! read less

Based on... read moreWe were a New Yorker and Bostonian doing a 4-5 day road trip in California in April 2019. Based on our trip I can say that Trekker Vans is likely your best choice for quality, service, and value in the San Francisco area.  A few points we considered before renting which I can now verify:

#1 - Proximity to airport - if you are arriving / departing from SFO, keep in mind that other camper van rental options may add $100+ to your trip costs in Uber/Lyft and 3+ hours depending on location and traffic conditions.  Like mainstream rental car business', Trekker Vans is located close to the airport.

#2 - Van quality - the vans are new and well designed.  The owner Nate has personally designed and built out these Ford Transits and I can tell he doesn't let them off the lot with any mechanical issues.  Everything was in working order and we didn't experience any issues.  

#3 - Insurance - Trekker Vans uses Outdoorsy.com for RV insurance and I recommend you stick with their provided policy.  It offers extensive coverage and is reasonably priced.  By nature, I explored options for providing my own insurance binder through my home and car insurance provider and my credit cards.  Of all my cards (Chase Visa, Amex, Citi Mastercard) only Citi cards cover RV rental and it isn't a comprehensive policy.  The Outdoorsy policy provided by TrekkerVans proved to be the best option - I recommended that Nate add the pertinent policy details such as coverage limits and deductible to his website.

#4- Price/value - Trekker Vans is competitively priced and they include everything you need.  When considering your budget, keep in mind your travel costs to and from Trekker Vans, and your check bagged fees saved from not having to bring all the equipment with you.  We were also able to make one grocery stop and cook all of our meals with the included equipment and the surprisingly spacious drawer fridge.  We used three butane canisters (cooking every meal and making coffee) - two were included.  They cost $7 and I can tell you for certain they don't sell this type in Yosemite Valley so maybe pick up an extra depending on the length of your trip and where you are staying.  

3 tips once you have chose Trekker vans:
1. As this is a recreational vehicle, we thought the standard for returned condition in terms of cleanliness would be different than a rental car.  The exterior was fine but the interior floor surfaces had loose dirt and sand from our boots and we were charged an additional cleaning fee.  Nate will recommend a couple locations where you can wash / vacuum out the car but our timing didn't allow for this.  Just keep that in mind when you return the Van - if it looks like it needs a good vacuum you're likely going to be charged.  

2. Nate has a supply room of miscellaneous extra equipment - read what is included in the van ahead of time so you can anticipate what additional items you might want from the supply room - thinking on our feet, we borrowed a chef's knife and a wok which we were very grateful for during our trip.  

3. Use Nate as a resource!  Nate was a warm and intelligent guy with a passion for the outdoors and adventure travel.  He's very knowledgeable and can answer any of your questions, make recommendations for your trip, and may even toss you a travel guide book if needed.  Aside from how much we enjoyed our trip (to Yosemite and Big Sur) we also were happy to have connected with Nate and we look forward to our next opportunity to rent a Trekker van from him. read less

Nate´s attention since the first contact was very motivating for us to go ahead and try a different way of travelling in a foreign country. We felt assisted in all aspects, just spotless.
We had a brand new van, with an incredibly comfortable bed and enough supplies to do all the cooking we needed as a couple, including the refrigerator which seemed a little smalI at first sight. I felt living in the van gave us a great balance between having both flexibility and comfort for a longer stay,
The only suggestion would be to increase storage place and more devices to keep luggage in place when driving. But also we had an unnusual situation, since we were carrying all equipment for kitesurfing along, as well as the suitcases.
Can´t go wrong.
We would definitely come back and highly recommend TrekkerVans !

Nate is a trustworthy and honnest guy, who shares usefull info and tips, and we left with the feeling that it were a very good van and accessories, for the correct money. No unexpected additional fees or the like...

The vans a very well thought-out. It offers just enough, and not too much. Ideal for a roadtrip as we did.
The way the van is conveniently built, reveals it is from the hand of a competent engineer 🙂

Thanks.
