Dull but important! - Comprehensive Insurance and breakdown cover is already INCLUDED in this price through my own policy - most other vans listed you'll pay ~£20 extra per day on top of headline price. More good news - the excess is comparatively low at £750 and you can reduce this further to £150.
Sorry Insurance only covers over 25 years old and driver licenses issued by UK or EU more than 2 years ago!

Dull but important! - Comprehensive Insurance is INCLUDED in this price through my own policy - most other vans listed you'll pay ~£20 extra per day on top of headline price. More good news - the excess is comparatively low at £750.
Festivals are allowed, subject to whatsapp call to meet and discuss before accepting.
Fuel - a full tank of diesel at start of hire (from me) and returned full by you at the end of hire means you'll only pay for what you have actually used.
Pets - pls enquire but we aim to please here!
Going abroad? - you'll need to get a form VE105 (print and apply via RAC website for <£15) for us both to complete and sign to ensure smooth passage through international borders.
** Available to borrow free **

- For beach: Paddle Board with pump & oar, Boogie Boards in large rucksack.
** Cleaning costs **
- We’re all grown ups so you can decide in advance if you realistically plan to return Vinnie as clean and organized as you found him - or if you would prefer me to do it.
- Low level clean £20, deep clean needed £40.
** Other costs to you **
- For each day driving inside the M25 the London ULEZ payment (£12.50 per day) is payable by you (via my app) and it will be your responsibility to check for any other regional ULEZ / Congestion / Clean air zones and will need to pay them directly along with any speeding or parking fines.
- If the van is returned later than agreed and it impacts another booking we will charge £25 per hour.

Neil
Great rental experience - my first time using a camper van! Chris gave a thorough overview of the vehicle, and the van itself delivered as expected.
Recommended :-)
Paul
Lovely van. Drives very well both on highway and small country roads. Obviously taken care of. Well equipped with all the bits and bobs you will need. Chris was supportive before, during and after. Thank you.
Response from Chris
Many thanks Paul.
Cheers for pointing out that I need a replacement collapsible water bottle to make refilling water tank easier. It must have got lost on recent trip - it has now been ordered.
Harry
My partner & I had an incredible time renting Vinnie! The van was spotless, well-equipped, and perfect for our adventure. It drove smoothly and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip.
Chris, the owner, was fantastic—super helpful, friendly, and made the whole rental process easy. He took the time to explain everything and gave us great tips to make the most of our trip. His attention to detail and great communication really made a difference.
If you’re looking for a reliable camper van and a hassle-free experience, I highly recommend renting Vinnie from Chris. We’ll definitely be booking again
Response from Chris
Many thanks Harry for the feedback- you are very welcome to borrow Vinnie again.
Adrian
Chris (and Vinnie, the car) is lovely in every way and can be highly recommended. He was very flexible when it came to pick-up and drop-off, had quick response time and were very understanding and fair through the whole process. We took Vinnie for a long-weekend to Cornwall and it was never any issues with the car at all.
Make sure to book Vinnie for your cause, you won't regret it. Thanks again Chris, and hope to rent Vinnie again soon!
Anukriti
Chris is a very gracious host. Vinnie will come equipped with everything you could possibly need and be a smooth ride along with that. Even though the weather was off-season, we had the most wonderful four days around Wales. Would hire again 100% :)
Response from Chris
Thanks Anu for your kind words. You are obviously welcome to take Vinnie again whenever you wish.
Nina
My partner and I had a wonderful weekend away in Kent with Vinny. Chris and his lovley dog Kenny gave us a quick and easy handover and responded to our questions quickly. Was nice and flexible with timings so we could get the most out of Vinny :)
Van is nice and simple, with all basics you need, easy to drive, great on fuel and even some games! Thank you we'll deffo take Vinny out again x
Response from Chris
Thanks Nina - so glad you enjoyed your first Vinnie trip - see you again!
Enrico
Vinnie was the perfect van for our trip! Fully equipped and in great condition, comfortable for the two of us, easy to drive both on large roads and narrow lanes.
Chris was very responsive throughout the booking process to answer questions, as well as during the trip to make sure we had a pleasant experience. We also greatly appreciate the flexibility he was able to provide for the trip. Highly recommended!
Response from Chris
So pleased you enjoyed your weekend away with Vinnie - it was my pleasure to meet you both - Thanks!
Abigail
We had a fab weekend taking Vinnie the campervan to the Peak District. Super easy to drive, comfortable, and all the amenities you could need are provided. Thorough handover by Chris on pick-up to make sure we were happy with everything. We will definitely be borrowing Vinnie again for our next trip. Thanks again Chris!
Response from Chris
Hi Abi & Ollie - Thanks for the thanks! You are obviously very welcome to borrow Vinnie again.
Stefano
My girlfriend and I rented Chris's campervan Vinnie for the Easter long weekend, and even before we picked up the van everything was seamless. Chris was incredibly accommodating and always very quick to respond to any questions. He was also flexible with pick-up and drop of time so that we could make the most of the weekend. On the day Chris and his beautiful dog greeted us with a warm welcome drink and provided us with thorough instructions on how to operate the campervan. Great start to the weekend! 😃
The campervan itself was excellent - clean, easy to drive and fully equipped with everything we needed for our trip, exactly like the photos. You can tell Chris has put a lot of thought and care into making it a great experience for his customers. We did bring our own audio cable to ensure we had music for the journey and I would recommend that to others as a backup as the Bluetooth would not connect for us.
Overall, renting Chris' campervan was one of the best decisions we made for our Easter weekend getaways. We highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. Thank you, Chris, for making our trip truly a great experience. We can't wait to rent from you again!
Response from Chris
Hi Stefano & Alicia - I appreciate your kind words, and am really pleased that Vinnie lived up to all expectations. Let me know when you'd like to plan your next trip!
