French : J'ai loué le van pour 12 jours pour faire le tour de l'écosse. Kevin et Chris ont été très réactifs et arrangeant pour que je récupère et rende le van, c'était vraiment très gentil ! Le van est assez gros, la première et deuxième vitesse sont un peu dures à passer et l'accélération est un peu compliqué parfois car le van est lourd mais il reste maniable et bien équipé avec une caméra de recul en plus ! hyper pratique ! A l'intérieur, il est plutot ergonomique même si un miroir, de quoi laver l'intérieur et une meilleure fixation des placards pourraient le rendre encore mieux ! Les points négatifs étaient que la douche ne fonctionne pas pour l'eau chaude et c'est plus compliqué de l'utiliser car on en met partout. Un gant et de l'eau est préférable et vous trouverez quelques douches publiques. Egalement l'approvisionnement en eau est compliqué, il n'était pas rempli quand je l'ai eu et j'ai du remplir tous les 3 jours le bidon, il faut y penser niveau logistique. Globalement je recommande le van, notamment si vous êtes 2 et que vous avez des vélos avec vous, le coffre est immense. Environ 110 euros un plein d'essence à 80% Un grand merci à Chris et Kevin ! English : I rented the van for 12 days to tour around Scotland. Kevin and Chris were very responsive and accommodating with the pick-up and drop-off, which was really kind of them! The van is quite big — first and second gear are a bit hard to shift into, and acceleration can be a bit tricky sometimes because it’s heavy, but overall it’s still easy to handle and well-equipped, with a rearview camera too — super practical! Inside, it’s fairly ergonomic, though a mirror, some cleaning supplies for the interior, and better cupboard latches would make it even better. The downsides were that the shower doesn’t work with hot water, and it's tricky to use without splashing water everywhere. A washcloth and some water are actually preferable, and you’ll find a few public showers along the way. Also, refilling the water tank is a bit of a hassle — it wasn’t filled when I picked up the van, and I had to refill the jerrycan every three days, so it’s something to plan for logistically. Overall, I recommend the van, especially if you're two people and have bikes with you — the trunk space is huge! Around 110 euros for fuel to fill the tank up at 80% Big thank you to Chris and Kevin ! June 2025

Friendly, accommodating, no hassle rental. Minor issues dealt with generously. Van was very comfortable, hot shower a big bonus! Lots of space in the back for gear. Recommended. September 2024

The van had lots of things not working such as the hot water shower inside as paid, the heating, the tap,... Also the toilet also was not clean at all when Chris gave us the van. He was willing to help but none of the issues was solved at all. August 2024

Chris was excellent to deal with from start to finish. Big Minty was spacious, functional and user friendly for our trip following the West Highland Way. 10/10 would recommend. June 2024

Great setup in the van, and really friendly handover from Chris. He made sure I knew how everything worked, and was really helpful throughout the whole experience! June 2024
