Hey lovely people! Welcome to Once Upon a Van Rental! Im Marine, the Founder of this dream-turned-reality business, and I couldnt be more excited to share the Kookaburra Van with you all. Its been quite the journey getting hereboth exhilarating and challengingbut every moment has been worth it to bring you a unique travel experience and help you create magical memories as you explore this beautiful land we get to call home. This dream has been bubbling in my heart and mind for about eight years (yep, Ive been obsessed for that long!). Earlier this year, I finally took the leap into what I like to call dreampreneurshipand here we are! Nature and travel are a part of my soul. I feel the most peaceful, playful, and alive when Im out there, exploring and soaking up the beauty around me. These passions were shaped by my childhood, thanks to my mum whisking us around the world on holidays and my dads love for motorhome camping around Europe. These experiences are at the heart of this business. During the craziness of COVID, one unexpected blessing was rediscovering my love for the outdoors. Nature became my escape, and I fell back in love with exploring, adventuring, and simply being outside. Now, I want to share that sense of freedom and wholesome, simple joy with all of you! So, welcome aboard! I cant wait for you to hit the road, relax, and enjoy those spontaneous, heartfelt moments with the people you love. Heres to making new memories together!

Oh wow this was an amazing experience. The van had everything we needed for our 10 days trip and it was easy to drive. We loved it all! The owner was supernice and helpful with tips for trips and campingspots.

Amazing experience starting from the host to the van itself. The van was wonderful and aesthetically pleasing! The drive was smooth making it comfortable to travel in. It was clean and came supplied with pretty much everything you might need. Marine and Aurelie were so sweet, very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend and would hire this van again!

We had the pleasure of being the very first guests to rent this camper, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The camper was beautifully designed with great attention to detail and love, making us feel right at home from the moment we stepped in. It was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and nothing was missing to ensure a pleasant experience. We traveled as a family of three, and the tent was incredibly spacious and easy to set up. The camper itself drove like a dream, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. Communication with Marine (and Aurelie) was excellentshe was kind, helpful, and always available to answer any questions. We truly had a fantastic time and cant recommend this camper enough!
