Van Life Survival Kit List

We like to make life easy for our customers so pack your bag (bring waterproofs!) stock up on food, bring linen if not hiring from us, a pair of van slippers/flip flops and most importantly bring a sense of adventure and humour and let us take care of the rest.

  • National Insurance number, or valid driving licence check code. This is required for a DVLA check on the driving licence.
