Wheels Up in Wheelie Nelson

Did we have you at sunset roof deck? That’s right, there’s a deck on the rooftop of Wheelie Nelson, this 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The rooftop deck is perfect for stargazing or sunset picnics. It is also ideal for additional storage. And we can send you off with a Tepui pop up tent for additional guests!

Wheelie Nelson comes fully equipped with all the modern luxuries of a tiny home or studio apartment. This van is perfect for a couple, solo traveler, and anyone meeting friends at the campsite (they’ll be super impressed when you pull up in Wheelie Nelson). This van is very cozy and roomy, there is plenty of height to stand up (no crouching or bonking your head) and your four-legged friend is very welcome.

This is the perfect van for any season! It is fully insulated and includes a separate rear A/C that runs off of a diesel generator and an external shore power connection for camp sites with electrical hook ups. The generator is mounted under the cab and connected to the main diesel tank – no hassle!

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.
