A magnificent experience!! The organization of The Family Van was top notch, arrived at Dax station we picked up the van and our surfing gear, a few explanations for the autonomy and the charging of the vehicle, then the adventure begins! A great trip for a surf trip with recommendations for walking around and discovering our magnificent regions in France. The Family Van is planning a very copious lunch basket that lasted us all week! Then in this type of trip there are great encounters, Antoine who was our surf teacher, accompanied us all week through the different regions to find the best spots and during the sessions they give great advice for both beginners and intermediates! During the week, a group is also formed, with a warm and energetic atmosphere! So many beautiful memories, thank you The Family Van for this experience, we will be back:)

Great experience that I highly recommend:) The van is comfortable and super well appointed. Driving is intuitive, and the electric battery is not a problem thanks to route planning.

“We rented the Uluwatu van to travel around the Basque Country for a week. It is very well equipped in terms of sleeping and cooking, we did not miss anything! The driving is very pleasant and the driver's space is very comfortable, even for long mountain trips.

Noémie and Kévin are adorable and have very good advice on using a van, share good addresses and offer tailor-made itineraries off the beaten track that allowed us to discover exceptional spots ⛰️
The rates are transparent and much more advantageous than those of competitors: no hidden costs, and a trip at a reduced price thanks to electricity!

To go on an adventure as a couple, it is ideal. Thanks The Family Van!!! 💕”

Perfect. I went on a group stay, the van reception and the explanations were fluid and clear. The group atmosphere was pleasant, the surf instructor Antoine was there to listen to help us progress.
The van is very well equipped, the bedding is good and in the van there are all the accessories for cooking, connecting your phone, storing your things, showering...
Very good stay, I recommend. The team is caring, young and dynamic:)

A great human and surfing adventure!

The Family Van offers a very well thought-out route, from the Arcachon Bay to the Basque Country, for perfect sports and tourist holidays!
Kevin and Noëmie accompanied us for this week of surfing, skateboarding, walking, hiking... Thanks to them, the group was able to spend good human moments around aperitifs and barbecues in magnificent places.
As for the van, it is very well equipped and has everything you need for a nomad/camping life. In addition to being very easy to drive thanks to the electric one!
In short, nothing but good, do not hesitate and go for it:)

Long live TV!

Outstanding

A big thank you to the whole team! It was our first experience in a van and we fully adhered. A team that listens with a roadbook that is very adapted to our requests, small addresses that we would never have found without Lisa's good tips and a super well-equipped van...
And a big thank you to Kévin and Noémie for the great gift at the end of the stay following a small setback (you didn't have to but we really appreciated it!!)
We recommend The Family Van with our eyes closed.

Before, during and after the stay, the team is at the top, and what can we say about the concept! Just incredible to arrive at a spot surrounded by nature with the softness of electricity! I recommend it to anyone who wants a simple and quiet trip.

Vincent W.

Very good experience for our part, we spent a week following the proposed itinerary which gave us a lot more around the villages of the Basque Country.
Note that the electric van requires a gentle pace, which is very appreciable.

We spent 10 days in a van! And it was a great experience! The van is perfect, it has everything you need, electric is a real pleasure! The Thé Family Van team is attentive and very well organized. We recommend 100%, not to mention the discovery of the Basque Country, a pure wonder!

Great experience with The Family Van! The van is very well equipped, we were able to take full advantage of it during a week of roadtrip between French and Spanish Basque Country!

Alix B.
★★★★★

It was an incredible experience! The vans are well thought out in terms of storage, the bedding is of good quality with a comforter that keeps you warm! We had meals included in the van and it was nice not to have to go shopping all the time because we forgot something there with the roadbook: several recipes were dedicated to us with all the ingredients in the van! Then, speaking of the Electric Van, I enjoyed driving it. But it's smooth to drive and you get used to it very quickly and the size of the van is not too tall or too big!
In terms of electricity, it charges quickly depending on the terminals of course but one night at the campsite was enough for us! Then there is an app to allow you to find an electrical terminal in the area, which allows you to help when you want to travel a bit and plan along the way!
Then the Van family, to a concierge if we had a problem during the day, which made it possible to reach them at any time easily and quickly.
The concept of a surf trip in an electric van is an incredible idea, it felt like being in a summer camp for adults! Then the surfing lessons with Antoine were very pleasant, he listens and explains to us to help us evolve, he adapts to all levels. Having him with us allowed us to have an opinion on a city to visit, hikes or activities to do! In the end, we were so sad to leave each other, it's a pretty crazy experience in one week!
Thank you so much again for this experience 🌞

Thanks to the team who are always very helpful if we have a question during the trip.
The vehicle is incredibly comfortable in terms of driving! And it's well laid out. Everything is planned in the van.
All utensils, salt, coffee, comforter, pillows everything! You just have to come with your stuff!

For the more cautious, if you go in winter, bring a sleeping bag and warm clothing in addition.

Big plus for us, it's animal friendly, so you can travel with your 4-legged friend!
So we were able to travel with our cat, who didn't want to leave the van!

3 great days spent thanks to the family van, rediscovering the Basque country under a beautiful sun. Whether before, during the rental and even when returning the van, the welcome and availability of the team was more than great.

An unforgettable road trip!

Van trip was a big first for me! Despite the unpredictable weather we were able to fully enjoy the surfing sessions and no need for sun when you are accompanied by Noémie and Kévin who are real sunbeams.

On the program: surfing, hikes, magnificent landscapes, restaurants, good humor and lots of laughter!

A journey from Dax to Sopela, then Bilbao, Somo, San Vicente, then Bilbao, Somo, San Vicente and terminus in the French Basque Country by a spot that will make you never want to leave 🤩 Leave with your eyes closed you will not regret it!

Superb first experience in an electric vehicle with The Family Van! The van is very comfortable, very well thought out, furnished and equipped. Easy to drive, it quickly provides a feeling of freedom. All the information and advice shared by Kevin and Noémie allow you to leave with a light mind.
