Hi,

We just found a tip for those planning a surf trip around the diffrent french spots.
We found a cheap van rental company in France: Origin Campervans

They are fully equpied vans with hire rates including unlimted mileage.
You can rent roof racks as an option.
The vans look rather cool and clean.

My girlfriend and I are going to rent one for a couple of weeks in August.

:D

I wouldn't rent with a company who spams forums touting for business, that's for sure.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help and perhaps knows of a company who will rent a van and allow me to take it across to france and back. so I was hoping to do it the other way around. Any suggestions please?

Hey, I am looking for a van on rent who should have luxurious facility like stereo and engine should be in good mode and interior as well as exterior should be nice. Well, the van should be able to handle long distance and if possible can work on diesel or petrol.. please charge reasonable.

I've tried Origin Campervans in Northern France last summer.
The vans are new and well equiped.

My sister want to go for a surf trip in France and she need a van rental company who can provide a good luxurious truck with complete facility.. Money is not a matter for fact just the van rental company should be trustful.

We rent in march a california in san sebastian. nice places, in france and in spain. the company was cool, they are starting and they help us a lot with the planing, the roads..The van worked really well and we had a fantastic time.it doesnt go fast but we dont have any trouble and the price was reasonable. you can even rent a surfboard for the trip.

Google is your best bet - search for van rental and give the companies a buzz to see if they can fulfill your requirements.

It should be cheaper on your budget to rent a car to go on trip and do the work yourself, but from what we read online and in reviews we found in newspapers, finding a rental truck company that has good service and quality trucks is not easy.

Sam, the sham spam van rental vendor,
creates his names in an old food blendor,
joins our forum with his names on a rotor,
and is as successful as his van's motor.
he pretends to be a happy client
but we know this claim is not reliant.
A company that spams from out of France,
I ask you, is it worth the chance?
If your company is really true
buy an ad and pay your due :spew:

Respect to those...with the prose!
Cool forum. Lucky to live 1 hour from Bordeaux these days and therefore close enough to SW coast of France for beaches. This summer spent 5 weeks in Lagos Portugal and fell in love with Arifana and Bordeira beaches - going back next year!
