We (a couple) rented this 1973 iconic camper van for 4 days end of June 21 to go around Scottish coast and Skye (worked out to be about 1,100 miles in total). It had been our ambition to do this in a VW camper van but buying one was too expensive so renting seemed a perfect solution. We fly up to Glasgow and then got public transport to where the van was. I was a little apprehensive initially because hadn't rented off goboony before. We needn't have worried - everything was great! We met Pino who was really friendly and explained everything to us. The VW van takes a little getting used to (for those of us used to power steering and automatic gearboxes!) but after 30mins or so everything seemed like second nature. Pino had packed some provisions for us which was really appreciated and camping in the van was really cosy and warm. Ideal for a couple but I suspect would be ok if you had a couple of kids too. All in all, a great trip - it's a 50 year old van but has been looked after/refurbed and remains an iconic choice to do NC500. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience Scotland either as a wild camper (we we did) or indeed if you wanted to book into campsites on the way around. Pino (and Courtney were a pleasure to rent from and we would certainly consider doing this again). Thank you both!
