Online, any time, in a few minutes. Choose your van and dates on our website, select your Flex Option, Payment Option and Protection Plan, and pay by credit card, PayPal or bank transfer. The price you see is the price you pay, and your confirmation and rental documents arrive automatically once your payment is received.
Message us on WhatsApp (button at the bottom right) or write to hello@vanxcapes.com, and we prepare an individual offer. This is for special cases, for example a stay shorter than the minimum, a long-term rental, a special pick-up or return arrangement, more than one van, or any question the booking form cannot answer. Tell us your dates, station, number of travellers and what you need, and we will reply with an individual offer.
When you book online, you tick the acceptance box before paying. Every offer we send by email comes with the General Rental Terms attached. An emailed offer has no tick box: you accept it by confirming in writing (a reply email is enough) or by paying. In both cases the same General Rental Terms apply, and you always receive them before you are bound.
The van, the Standard Travel Set (bedding set for 2 persons, duvet and pillow covers, 2 small and 2 big towels, hygiene set, one gas bottle), the standard pre-trip cleaning, a personal handover, the Protection Plan ESSENTIAL, 300 km per rental day, AdBlue and the compulsory liability insurance. Fuel, tolls, fines and optional extras are not included.
Our prices follow the season, so the same van costs less in low season. From 7 nights, a 10% discount on the whole price is applied automatically. From time to time we also release discount codes: for short-term bookings on specific vans that are still free, and for long stays. You find them on our Instagram, on our website and on the landing pages of our campaigns, and you can enter the code when you book, right before checkout. If you are flexible with dates or van, message us and we tell you whether a code applies.
