  The camper van and host were both excellent! The resources that Nikolaus prepped for the camper van were super clear and helpful. It was a wonderful experience all around. The van was comfortable and in great working order with everything I needed for a great trip. Nikolaus was very responsive and made the whole process smooth and easy. Would definitely rent Balou again!

  My husband and I had a wonderful experience renting Baloo, the Sprinter van. Niko was incredibly helpful and responsive in answering questions, both before and after booking. The camper was fully stocked with anything we would possibly need for our four night adventure. the bed was very comfortable and the vehicle drove like a dream. I give this my highest recommendation!
