Family-Friendly Vanica Patrick

Mercedes-Benz Sprinters that seat and sleep four are rare. Ones that have seating for five are even rarer still! But you found one in Vanica Patrick; there is a factory installed bench seat directly behind the cockpit with three seatbelts. This vehicle is perfect for a family or a group of friends looking to hit the open road and find adventure; it’s also great for those who want to sample #vanlife for extended periods of time.

If you are looking for something way more comfortable than camping, but don’t want the stress and cost of driving a big RV, Vanica Patrick is for you! This van parks in a regular parking spot and gets great gas mileage. She is very cozy and roomy, has plenty of height to stand up (no crouching) and lots of room for your four-legged friend as well.

The kitchen has a built in sink and removable propane camp stove so you can cook inside or outside. An electric Dometic fridge runs off solar and keeps all your perishables cold.

When it is time for bed, there are two queen sized beds set up like bunk beds. The bottom has a 6’’ memory foam queen mattress, and the top is a 3-panel platform that can be removed entirely or rearranged to make two twin sized decks with a space between.

For charging your devices and keeping things running, you’ll have two 110v AC outlets, dimmable overhead LED lights and a total of two, two-way vent fans in the rear cabin. Vanica Patrick also has solar panels and a Yeti 3000w lithium battery / inverter that can charge off of solar or shore power.

Location: This van is located in Petaluma, where we have secure parking onsite. We can also deliver a van for a fee to The Sports Basement locations in the Presidio San Francisco, Oakland, Novato or Santa Rosa. See add-ons for more details.

Book Your Trip

Pick Up and Drop Off

Rentals are Calculated on a 24-hour Basis: The rental period is generally considered to be 24 hours. If you pick up the van at 10 am, you’ll be expected to return it around 10 am. Most van owners can accommodate requests for a few extra hours at $20/hour. 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. You can indicate your preferred pick up and drop off time when completing your reservation; final arrangements will be confirmed with the van’s owner.

Insurance

Insurance coverage includes $1 million in liability to the renter, $1 million in liability to the van owner, and comp and collision coverage up to $200,000. 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 unlimited: towing, flat tire assistance, emergency fluids delivery, battery boost, and a mobile mechanic. Many van owners require 24-hour roadside assistance as part of the rental. Where coverage is mandatory, you must either purchase our policy, or show proof of comparable coverage, including 1) RV towing and 2) towing distance of 100+ miles.

Mileage

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.

Security Deposit

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.
