Always a Good Time with Doug

Meet Doug, full name, Doug VanDeCamp. 😎 Doug is that friend that allllllways wants to go camping, and lucky for you, he’s also the friend that’s always READY to go camping! Pick up Doug in the Bay Area and cruise all over the USA. Easy to drive, loads of room for toting toys, a queen size bed below and a pop-up penthouse up top … okay Doug, we get it we get it. LET’S GO CAMPING!

Doug VanDeCamp is perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, yet wants to sleep comfortably. Set up camp, pop the top, and enjoy your spot in nature. After an evening around the campfire, retire to your comfy beds for a good night’s sleep.

Alternatively, if you want to pick up in the morning and drop off in the evening, simply select the optional half day add-on when completing your reservation.

Pick Up and Drop Off Time: There is no set pick up and drop off time. You’ll make arrangements suited to your needs and schedule with the van’s owner.

For most rentals, coverage costs $37.50/day. For our premium vans, coverage costs $47.50/day. In both instances, insurance is required as part of the rental.

Roadside Assistance

We make 24-hour roadside assistance available for $15 a day. Coverage includes: towing, flat tire assistance, emergency fluids delivery, battery boost, and a mobile mechanic.

125 miles per day is included in every rental. Additional miles are charged 35 - 50 cents per mile depending on the vehicle. For example, on a four-night rental, you will have 500 free miles. If you traveled 600 miles, at 35 cents a mile you would pay an additional $35 at the end of your trip.

You’ll pay a security deposit of $1,000 - $1500 (vehicle dependent) two days before your rental starts. The security deposit is returned, less any additional fees, usually no more than 7 days after you return.
