ROADTRIP ADVENTURE

Happy Campers

As a regular camping party of 2, my partner and I enjoy both what we call “fancy camping” as well as backcountry experiences and have followed our passion throughout four states. But in all of our adventures, we have never tried van camping before. Since we’ve been mostly backpacking for the past year, we were excited about a different camping experience when we rented the Kuga campervan out of Oakland in December 2020 for a week—and it did not disappoint! It’s hard to know where to begin we had such a great experience, but I’ll give it a shot.Logistics—the biggest challenge for us was that there were only three US locations to rent from. We elected SF and flew in, caught an easy Lyft to Oakland to pick up the van. Pick-up was quick, super smooth, and staff was friendly and helpful. The van was ready to rock when we got there and after a stop for a week’s worth of food and firewood—we were off!Space—the inside of the Kuga is very comfortable and we really, really enjoyed the ability to stand inside. Plenty of storage above the driver/passenger seats and under benches offered us a good amount of space to stash our groceries and campfire supplies de-cluttering the space. We even had the dish and extra winter bedding packages—still plenty of room!Comfort—the van came with absolutely everything we needed, though we brought our own sanitization products and a line to dry clothes. The bed converted from benches slept us both very comfortably with a TON of extra space. We did not end up trying the stovetop at all, as we were trying some homemade backpacking recipes with our Jet Boil. We also did not want to camp at grounds with hookups, which were necessary to operate the stove. The running water is so, so, SO convenient for all things (other than drinking) and it was such a luxury after filtering our own water every night when backpacking. We felt it very private with curtains and did not have a problem with the cold at night at all (lows in the 30s). Though, we are used to snow in the winter, so some foggy coastal cool was no problem at all. The cab itself was also very comfortable—plenty of room to stretch and spread out.Value—as a ranger for the Dyrt (if you don’t know about this app yet, you really must check it out if you enjoy camping), I am lucky to occasionally have the opportunity to sample new equipment. Our Kuga rental was one of these instances. We did elect their insurance (approximately $150), and prepaid a cleaning fee of $100, but the daily rate was waived. However, after having put much time into cost to rent vans of this nature in the past, I can say with absolute confidence that this is the lowest price you will find and it comes with a ton of amenities in the Kuga. There are a few different options as to how you can rent these, but the unlimited miles is for sure the way to go to be cost-effective but also have the chance to really travel time-wise. We enjoyed it so much that we are booking again this year—we just haven’t decided—NorCal or Australia?read more

Great value, and the flexibility of unlimited miles. Vehicles tend to be old but service is good.

We took the Kuga. It's honestly not great if you are 3 (the middle seat is small and uncomfortable for long rides), but the Kuga is great for 2. You get a lot for your money, including a kitchen that doesn't feel like a tack on at the end of the truck. The microwave is a great addition if you have power to plug it in, and the gas has plenty of capacity instead of a camping size canister as seem in some competitorsThe staff in San Francisco (Hayward) went above and beyond (thanks Jared) and got us the right Kuga for our trip (they are not all the same).The Kuga v8 had plenty of power to climb at altitude and is speed limited to 100mph. You don't want to go that fast with it as the steering and suspension are spongy, but the point being that you'll have enough power to pass and climb. The downside though is that the engine is a gas pig. We only got 12.5 to 14mpg during the trip. Plan accordingly.The bed was good enough (slightly short for me, and I'm just 5"10), but honestly that's still a lot better than a tent.The best part was the price and unlimited miles. That just beat the competition by a lot.read more

We took this on our honeymoon and traveled through Arizona, Nevada and California. We loved it so much. They're very nice and the RV was perfect. Everyone asked about the travel van.

Great Van, loved the amenities: sink with water, fridge, stove. Has a descent amount of storage place and made our camping trip very comfortable. Make sure to check the AC, ours was not working and it got pretty hot driving pass Sacramento.read more

Had the best experience working with the folks at Travellers Autobarn. The van was perfect for our four day road trip to Northern California and you cant beat the value at $49/day. I will definitely be renting from them again in the near future.read more

Incredible experience overall with the van AND company! I have never written a google review but these guys deserve it. Great value, AWESOME van, and superb customer service. Rented for 5 days, drove over 1,000 miles all over CA, and everything ran smoothly. Looking forward to another trip!read more

We just got back from our first campervan adventure and had a blast! The guys at TA were super friendly, helpful and gave us a great rundown to understand the van as best as possible. TBH, I was skeptical of the "unlimited mileage" policy as it seems IMPOSSIBLE to find anywhere that does the same. However! We drove from SF to Seattle and back and did not receive any dings or add-on cost to the original quote, which is amazing! The van, as it was told to us, "has character flaws." It has some blind spots, has an engine that makes it difficult when driving up big hills, the passenger side window wasn't working and some of the knobs kind of just fall off. That being said, we were told it has character flaws and none of them made our trip any more difficult. The stovetop, sink, and refrigerator worked great, which was more important than anything! The cushions on which you sleep were plenty comfy and the van got nice air circulation when we slept in it overnight.We would DEFINITELY recommend using these guys to anyone looking for a no-frills, easy to book and positive experience taking a long road trip where you want to spend the night in your vehicle!read more

I have rented two times with them. And both were AWESOME. First in Brisbane Australia and the second one in SF California. Friendly workers, helped me with everything. I felt as I was lending a campervan from a friend. I will totally book the next trip with them.read more

Travelled from LA to San Fran with a ton of stops in between. Check out was so simple, and their complimentary fridge is fully stocked, as well as having more amenities in their bathroom than a hotel. This company is awesome.read more

Just had one of their Camper vans for 3 weeks and have to say the experience was fantastic.We had a hic up from the UK end which meant we arrived 2 days early for our van a d they were so helpful and got us on the road as quick as they could.I would definitely use them again and can recommend them to anyone who wants a smaller compact camper which was ideal for 3 adults quite comfortable and practical.Would give 6 stars if there was an option#tripofalifetime#travellersautobarn#goodvalueformoney#greattravelexpieranceread more

If you want ease and freedom from large cumbersome motor homes then this company is the way to go!Fun groovy signage makes these Kuga vans stand out from the crowd and so will you!Heads turn as you stop at lights, when parked up or as other drivers pass you. You'll hear them exclaim 'look at that camping van!'Great personnel in the offices and clean well set up interiors that even a tall person can stand upright in.Easy to drive, but right hand drivers (Aus, UK, UK, Japan) watch out for the blind spot on your right when changing lanes!Live life on the edge and go for it!read more
