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 bed is huge and there is enough space to store your stuff. The small sink was great, especially at the desert campsites.
But the best of all was the fridge and camping gear, which comes with the van.

The owner Nate was so nice and helpful. He explained everything and was allways reachable on his phone.

I can highly recommend to go on a road trip with a trekker van!!! read less

The draw was a newer van with higher ceilings that did not require me to worry about mechanical breakdowns as we headed down 101 to the Santa Barbara area and then traveled back up north for 8 days along the coast. The van drove well and was comfortable to drive and ride in.

Things to know; the van was very clean; the refrigerator kept everything cold; the bed and roof top tent are very comfortable; the linens are great; we stayed warm and the nights were probably mid 40"s; I wish we had a lantern for the evenings when we didn't have time for a fire (we had headlamps and a small light for the picnic table); the van lights shut down after about an hour of reading at night: pour over coffee make works great.

Would I do this again? Yes. Setting up our camp site became easier each night. People were friendly at the camp sites, and we shared our coffee with a few. read less

I took a group of 4 up to the Feather River in the Plumas National forest. I was the one that slept up top and enjoyed it quite a bit. It can be breezy to keep cool and the views are nice.

He hooks you up with much of your camping essential needs.

RVs are difficult to drive and huge. Not to mention gas mileage. This is an easy to drive, more energy efficient option. Highly recommended! read less

I would highly recommend Nate's vans for a film shoot or other entertainment rental. The Trekker worked great as a holding vehicle and everyone on our crew was super happy to have it available . The build out is versatile & perfect while the van itself ran like a dream even after the 4K + miles we did. If you're thinking about renting a camper/RV or anything like that- go with Trekker instead. 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

If you're even considering renting from Trekker Vans just book with them now! We used them for our anniversary trip to California last month and couldn't have been happier. The Van was in excellent condition and spotlessly cleaned. It was so easy to drive, comfortable, and parking was a breeze. Even though we had places to stay on our trip and didn't sleep in the van it was the perfect vehicle to roam around with. It was so nice to pull up to one of California's many landmarks or beautiful overlooks and have a comfortable place to eat or lay down and relax. The founder of this place is great! He takes time to show you around the van and explain how everything works. It's great to deal with someone that really knows how to provide a truly amazing customer service experience. We will most certainly be recommending Trekker Vans to all our friends and family. We can't wait to come back and make this our normal vehicle rental when visiting California! Keep up the great work! read less

Nate was fantastic, so patient and incredibly helpful going through the rental and then demonstrating bits in the van. We were tired after travels and Nate helped us out lots.

The van was better than we expected. Came with everything we needed. If there was anything that wasn't in the kitchen gear all we had to do was ask. You can tell Trekker Vans has been put together by people that love camping and have years of experience doing it.

We travelled as a couple with a 1 year old. Baby seat worked well and sleeping was really easy. We would really recommend Trekker Vans. If/when we come this way again we will be renting another van for further adventures. read less

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.

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

Our criterion was mostly cost, but we had to also sleep 2 adults and 2 kids. We weren't really concerned with a lot of cooking or bathrooms, os the Trekker Van fit our requirements perfectly.

The proprietor, Nate, bent over backwards to make sure the van was ready and that we had all the equipment we needed for a fun weekend. The van itself was new and drove perfectly. The camping furniture in the van served its purpose, and the bed pads were very comfortable. We also rented the pop top camper that goes on top and my kids loved sleeping up there.

The only caveats I have are that the side windows down't open, which can be a bit of a hassle on a hot evening. You can leave the back doors and front windows open for ventilation, if necessary. Also, the power sources don't stay on all the time, so if you're expecting to have power all night, you won't.

But the positives outweigh the negatives, and this is a very nice vehicle to take on a trip. read less

We took one of these for a four day camping trip up in Northern Sierras, and it was great. Everything inside a van is simple, but with a purpose. Everything is easy to operate in the field. Bed is spacious and comfortable. Shades can completely black out the interior for good night sleep. Roof top tent is a lot of fun for kids. Kitchen sink and fridge let you take care of food easily. Van comes with boatload of camping equipment (chairs, table, gas stove, etc). I can totally see myself taking a month long road trip in one of these across the country. read less

Nate was knowledgable about the area of our trip and was able to give us some travel guidance.

We loved the van!!! Both driver and passenger were comfortable and confident on the road. We didn’t have any mechanical difficulties.

Nate’s design and the van’s amenities worked well for us. The extra battery gave us charging capabilities, a refrigerated drawer and evening lights. The van was set up nicely with curtains for sleeping privacy, a great little butane cooking stove for morning coffee, and a swivel passenger seat to create a living space.

It was excellent to carry our bed with us. We just drove from one beautiful campground to another, exploring the natural areas, and crawling into our bed when the sun went down. So simple.

Even though I give Trekker Vans and our experience with Nate’s camper van a rating of 5 stars, I have to mention one area that needs to be improved. Nate, please design some sort of ventilation system for our next trip!

Thanks, Barbara and Bob read less

I believe he went above and beyond the norm to make sure my friends, who were visiting from Georgia, had a great stay in California. Within the first three hours of checking out the van, my friends had a major challenge and needed Nate's help. Nate was there to save the day, even if it was after his business hours.

I was there when Nate received them and he was helpful in getting the paperwork completed and he personally showed them how to get the most out of their Trekker Van experience. All my friends wanted to sleep in the tent on top of the van. When my friends came back to town, they told me the bed above and below were warm and comfy.

I want to also note that the van was clean, inside and out. The van ran smoothly with no mechanical issues. No funny smells or looks of wear and tear. I thought the van was in pristine shape.

My friends stayed in the Peninsula the first night and headed down south to Monterey, Santa Barbara, LA and back. The pictures they showed me of camping in the van made me think that I needed to do this too! The best picture they shared with me was the van parked overlooking a beach.

I would highly recommend Nate and Trekker Vans. There might be bigger van operations out there but you can't beat an owner who is passionate about his business, who cares for his clients, and who gives personal help/recommendations. He is a traveler too! 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 !

My girlfriend and I rented a van for a few days on our first trip to the west coast, it was the best part of our trip. We went down to Santa Cruz, Big Sur, and headed back up to Sonoma before returning the van.

I was one of those people looking at Lost vans, Juicy vans, and Escape vans, until I stumbled upon Trekker accidentally. I was on the booking page of Escape vans but when I found Trekker I immediately called and started booking, best decision ever.

Before the we got the van, we had the warmest greeting by the owner. He is the kind of dude you meet and you feel like you want to be his friend. He gave us suggestions for our trip, gave us his personal cell incase we had issues, and even helped us with suggestions for the rest of our trip after we returned the van. The layout of the van was simple, efficient, and had everything we needed. It was also really clean and you could tell it was a really nice van. It was my first time driving a vehicle of this size, but it was so much easier to drive than I would've thought, and it still fit in regular sized parking spots. The bed is really comfortable and the comforter is so warm that you dont really want to get up. Making meals was easy with the kitchen set provided, and having some storage and fridge space for food was a great amenity in the van.

I have been dreaming of taking a camper van along the coast for years and Trekker vans empowered my trip to be better than I had imagined it would be. Returning the van was sad, I definitely want to return and use a Trekker Van again. read less
