Superb week
Great week: friends, surfing, hiking and tapas!
We started as a group in Dax and then in 2 hours we arrived in San Sebastian. We discovered the Spanish Basque Country and the Cantabria region, which is really worth a visit. And we went back to the French Basque Country the last two days.
We had an unforgettable stay...
We had an unforgettable stay between the very well appointed van, the very kind and generous team and the magnificent days discovering the Landes and surfing, everything was perfect and very well organized!
Thanks again!
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.
Nathalie and Roland
Just perfect! Great vans, and a lovely and available team! Nothing to say:)
Superb experience in an electric van: silent, good autonomy, very pleasant cruise control, very pleasant living space, mountain roads without any problem etc. Really I recommend for living a different van experience and discovering slow travel!
Second experience always at the top! And we will be back!!
Crazy experience! A timeless stay, accompanied by a family team and always attentive.
Very nice discovery of the South-West with the 100% electric van! Everything is well thought out and optimized inside. The autonomy of the van is sufficient for a discovery of the region over a few days. The Family Van team was very attentive. Despite the fairly cool weather we enjoyed it and we recommend it with pleasure!
We had a magical stay in the Moors and the Basque countries thanks to The Family Van. We were able to enjoy the magnificent landscapes and, thanks to their advice, a great surfing lesson. No problem charging the van with sockets that exist everywhere. The insulation of the van is perfect we were not cold even in the Pyrenees. The Family Van team was always listening and available to answer our questions.
First of all, it was with a smile and enthusiasm that we were welcomed in Dax. Fans of vanlife, we still needed to do a tour of how to use an electric vehicle. The van offers classic and easy to use features, everything is thought out, planned, in detail. We want to emphasize the electric experience: this mode of propulsion is much more suitable for a road trip than diesel for a lot of reasons! It's cool, quiet, relaxing! You can stop 100 times a day to take photos without worrying about the “heaviness” of restarting the engine. Thanks to regenerative braking, you no longer touch the brake pedal when approaching a roundabout or when descending a pass, and each time the gain in autonomy is considerable. We finally consumed 18 kW/h per 100 km, which is much less than expected by Peugeot. Fast charging stations are everywhere. In addition, reconnecting to the campground on 8 or 10 amps practically recharged us the next day's kilometers, making the cost of the night profitable. And as Dax can be the starting point for an infinite number of tourist sites in the mountains or on the coast, we wholeheartedly recommend this experience with Family Van! This small business benefits from making itself known and we wish them well!
The family van team was great
The family van team was great and really thought of everything to please their customers. The van is very well equipped and really easy to drive. The destinations were well chosen, the surf lessons good, especially in Capbreton. Two small drawbacks for me: the first was sharing the van with a stranger and having only slept in the tent located above (I knew in advance that it was shared but did not fully understand the tent system and thought that we could have exchanged roles so I am partly responsible for it), the second the poor condition of the equipment from the last surfing lesson, the information should be reported and processed because the Family team is very reactive! Experience to repeat to know real life only in Van:) I recommend!
Great road trip in a van!
Vans are great, comfortable, and easy to drive.
Antoine, our guide, also contributed to the success of this trip! Thank you for being patient, listening and sharing your tips on the coast;)
Finally, The Family Van team is attentive before and during the trip, and very kind! Thank you for your professionalism.
We are ready to try the experience again with you quickly!
Great experience we loved testing the electric adventure it was so pleasant!! The vans are very well arranged and it is pleasant to ride with.The team is adorable and available, we highly recommend it:)
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:)
Very nice first experience in a van...
Very nice first experience in a van with 2 friends! I recommend and the team is super friendly! Thank you so much
Perfect electric van stay!
A great roadtrip in an electric van! A first for the three of us and it was great! The Family Van team is top notch, taking great care to make our stay unforgettable! I recommend 100%:)
“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. Simple and practical charging ensures peaceful driving... and silent!
On the beach, in the mountains, in the forest or on a campsite, we spent quality moments and comfortable nights thanks to this van, which also fits everywhere.
A big thank you to The Family Van for your quality services, your availability and your passion that you transmit with such kindness! And above all, see you very soon for new adventures!”
Going on an adventure with The Family Van is trying an extraordinary experience. A pre-scheduled road trip with a roadbook and surfing lessons every morning. An experience full of promises, a team of 8 people who do not know each other, for a stay rich in landscapes and encounters. A special mention to Antoine, a top surfing teacher with good advice on the stages of the Road. Not to mention the team available at any time in case of need through the concierge. I would highly recommend this experience!
Really great Vantrip experience
Really great experience. 5 days of VanTrip surfskate/yoga that went wonderfully! Thank you Noémie and Kevin for their kindness, their smiles and their professionalism! See you soon for new adventures
It was a great experience, a human, sporting and super rewarding adventure. The idea of mixing road-trip in a campervan, with an electric vehicle, all in a group makes the trip very interesting in all aspects. In terms of surfing lessons, Antoine is simply at the top! Both cool and educational, he plays an important role in this trip by not only limiting himself to his activity as an instructor, he is a guide present from the beginning to the end of the stay. It was a real summer camp between adults, I could not have asked for better!!
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. Electric driving is easy, the layout of the van is practical and pleasant, in short I can only recommend!!
1st experience in a van and an electric vehicle: it was great! The van was very well equipped and the team is very attentive to answer all your questions
An unforgettable first experience in an electric van with The Family Van 🚐
We had a great vacation cruising the Basque coast aboard the Malibu campervan! A big thank you to the team who was helpful and responsive. We will be back for new adventures with great pleasure:)
We had a great time staying with The Family Van. The team is very attentive and knew how to help us before and during the trip by making our life easier.
The van was perfectly equipped and very comfortable. We will definitely be back to explore this magnificent region in an electric van!
A nice escape in a van
A great escape with very well equipped vans, the multiple landscapes of New Aquitaine, no difficulty in finding a welcoming campsite, charging stations.
Congratulations to the Familly V an team who knows how to support us before and during your stay.
The Van is very well equipped with all the necessary comforts. The campsites selected are top notch. Very good experience
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 slept and surfed in incredible places, accompanied by a great teacher (thank you Antoine)! Thank you Kevin and Noémie for your availability from the beginning to the end of the stay, we'll see you again!
Easy booking thanks to the highly responsive team. Sustained and caring communication. The videos presenting how to use the van are clear, simple and complete while remaining short. The electric van is easy to handle and how pleasant it is to drive without vibration! The vans were in perfect condition. Charging stations are becoming more and more numerous and so economical. In short, we loved it and we can do it again without hesitation. Thank you 'The Family Van' thanks to you we had a great vacation.
The van is very comfortable, the team super responsive if necessary, it was a great first vanlife experience 😎 We were three, so we chose the mattress option on the front seats for the 3rd bed and it was very good. When it comes to driving, it's child's play and to recharge the van too! In short, there is no reason not to be tempted:)
Thanks to Noémie and Kevin for this VERY friendly welcome as well as the very clear and fun explanations/demonstrations! Being already a fan of “vanlife” myself, I wanted to share this experience with my best friend and especially to make her discover this way of life. WE LOVED IT!! This van is extremely well thought out and equipped, the space is very optimized, we were able to store absolutely all our things (we are 2 girls I specify = a lot of stuff). Top experience, and especially in electricity! It changes life (and the planet)! Thank you The Family Van for these wonderful moments. 🚐😎
I don't have the words to describe how amazing this week has been!!
The discovery of the region, the quality of the program, the super comfortable layout of the van, the surf lessons, the special moments with the group, the feeling of being cut off from the world and experiencing something exceptional... in short thank you thank you The Family Van!! GO FOR IT GO FOR IT
I had a great experience with the “Family Van”. The battery life is also quite sufficient. The rental is very well located and Kevin is very accommodating. I will gladly come back (and sorry for my French)!
We had a great weekend around Lake Lacanau. The van is very well equipped and easy to drive. We appreciated the electrical aspect all the more and had no charging problems. It was also great to be able to take our dog with us. The Family Van team is top notch. We will leave in an electric van as soon as possible!
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!
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:)
The van is super comfortable and super easy to drive (and it's a little stressful life that says it) it was great, waking up in the middle of nature with the comfort of a small house is just great. The best vacations in the world actually
Fantastic experience with The Family Van, the vans are very comfortable, the electric brings a very pleasant softness and silence. The team is attentive, super friendly and very available. The loan of surf equipment is a big plus and the lessons were super well supervised. I recommend 100%.
We decided to make the electric van our first experience in a van, because we had a very good contact with Kevin from Van Family at a trade show, a new but very dynamic company.
Overall, you were very satisfied with their services (creation of a super book for the trip; assistance throughout the stay...). The only negative downside is related to the network of electrical terminals, access to which is different depending on the distributor, especially difficult in Spain... which puts stress on the trip.
It made us want to do it again! Everything was smooth in the exchanges from the moment of booking and very easy. Nothing is complicated, Noémie and Kévin are very attentive, very reassuring and very available (very helpful even at a distance regardless of the problem). Getting around in an electric vehicle is very easy, the van is very well equipped and functional. You get used to the rhythm of Van Life very quickly! Warning: you would quickly become an addict
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.
Thanks to Noémie and Kevin for this incredible week. Very well organized surf trip. I went alone and the welcome was very warm, the group really great and the possibility of sharing the van with one diaper per person. I highly recommend if you want to discover Van Life and/or surfing. Very nice first adventure in a van, thank you again!
Excellent first campervan experience! The reception team showed us very well how the van works (the living area and how the electric vehicle works). They also recommended places to sleep and eat.
Very available via WhatsApp if needed.
We will repeat the experience with The Van Family
Excellent welcome and organization. Very friendly team.
Excellent welcome as part of an organized camp. The vans are very well laid out and easy to use. Noémie and Kevin are extremely welcoming, caring and trustworthy. The whole rental and the camp were perfectly organized. I highly recommend and will probably go back to enjoy the Moors and the Basque Country thanks to The Family Van.
Very nice experience that allowed us to discover northern Spain in a van.
9 days of vacation in an electric campervan. It was fun and fun to drive. If you stay in the same region and don't leave for miles, electricity is not a problem! There is storage and the bed is quite comfortable. The only disadvantage is that you have to cover yourself well if you leave when it is cold, because the insulation is very light.
First experience in a van carried out with The Family Van Team last week in the Basque Country.
An extraordinary stay that allowed us to reconnect with nature, to discover new spots every day in a very accessible way and in complete freedom without a real detailed program; a real pleasure!
The attentive, smiling and available team takes care of you from the beginning to the end of your stay. Everything is designed to make the most of your experience. The van is very well laid out, all spaces are optimized with storage, a kitchen area, an outdoor shower, a dry toilet, a sofa that can be transformed into a double bed, an indoor and outdoor table, outdoor chairs. A lot of things are also provided so that you have as few things as possible to bring by yourself: dishes, bed linen, kitchen essentials etc.
In summary it is an experience that we loved, that is turnkey and that we recommend with our eyes closed!
It's up to you to try the adventure:)
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. Pick up the van close to Dax station, no surprise price once there and a very pleasant welcome. Kévin and Noémie took the time to explain to us the different functions of the van and were available throughout the trip. The van is very pleasant to drive and very comfortable to create beautiful memories across the Basque Country. I highly recommend it!
The stay was just great in every way!
It was a first for me in electric vans. It is perfectly adapted to the proposed travel format, all itineraries are calculated in advance for our comfort. We don't have to worry about autonomy or other fears that we can think of in relation to electricity. Also, the vehicles are super well equipped and very comfortable.
The team is very welcoming and available! Always ready to give advice or find solutions in case of problems.
In short, only for the positive, you can go for it with your eyes closed.
Thanks Family Van!
Vann well equipped and the battery has a good battery life. We were well accompanied by WhatsApp and the Landes region is well equipped for electric roadtrips. At the top and to do it again with the same family
An incredible stay with valuable advice on good addresses in the region, crazy responsiveness in order to know the beaches where to surf, a very pleasant team, a super well equipped van that allowed us to have a wonderful stay. Thanks for everything, I recommend 2000%! 💛
A great stay inside this electric van!! We had a great time thanks to this experience! A really well equipped and very warm van with everything you needed inside for a minimum of comfort!! Thanks also to the team who were great from start to finish and who are all super nice!
Superb experience in an electric van!
Top welcome and comfortable van.
First experience in a Van
We took a short tour of Landes and the Basque Country in an electric van from The Family Van this summer. The team that looked after us is great, helpful, welcoming, available throughout our stay if we had any questions or need help, you can trust them with your eyes closed.
The vans are new, well maintained, functional, everything is there for a good stay.
For our first time in a van, we highly recommend The Family Van;)
The trip, the surf teacher, the campervan, the meetings, the stops, the restaurants... everything was great! It was the first time that my partner and I traveled in a van, and we will do it again with our eyes closed. Driving an electric car is a huge plus! It makes the trip and the immersion in the landscapes more fluid and natural.
We spent a weekend of 3 days in Gironde with a Van The Family Van.The Van is small enough to pass through parking lots that block out at 1.90m, but very well laid out and comfortable.The electric side of the vehicle brings a lot of charge and is very consistent with the slow travel that we like to do in a Van with my girlfriend.I recommend
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!
The desire to travel in a van had been itching for some time. After several searches, we came across The Family Van. It was a wonderful experience both in terms of supporting the team in preparing the trip and the experience in an electric van.
We explored the South West for 12 days, from the beaches of Lacanau to Hossegor via the Pyrenees. We loved the freedom that the van offers thanks to its versatile size, its comfort and the tranquility of driving electric.
The region offers charging stations everywhere and at ultra-reasonable prices, magnificent spots and a jovial atmosphere.
Thanks again to The Family Van for such a great experience!
Very good first experience in an Electric Van. Autonomy and recharging are not really a hindrance. On vacation it allows you to take your time and visit when recharging.
The van is very well appointed and perfectly equipped down to the smallest details (seasonings, dishwashing liquid, tea towel,...).
The team is very friendly and attentive.
We highly recommend The Family Van, and we will repeat the experience soon.
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. Simple and practical charging ensures peaceful driving... and silent!

A big thank you to The Family Van for your quality services, your availability and your passion that you transmit with such kindness! And above all, see you soon for new adventures!
Fantastic surf road trip
Thank you so much Noémie and Kevin for this unforgettable week!
Super well-equipped vans, a well-established course, great tips all the way and a real discovery of the region and Vanlife. I will 100% recommend those around me! It's refreshed and with stars in my eyes that I'm back after this great week:)
We had a great trip with The Family Van, I highly recommend them!! We rented an electric van for two people for a week. Everything went very well, the van is spacious and comfortable! We had no problems whatsoever with the vehicle's equipment and the recharging of the vehicle. Hoping to be able to go back with them this summer!!
Great experience with The Family Van! We spent 6 nights in the South West with their electric van with my boyfriend, and everything went great. The van was great: comfortable, well equipped, very pleasant to drive. We found that the fact that it is electric is really a plus because it is quiet, easy to recharge and economical. Noémie and Kevin were great from start to finish! Very professional, welcoming and available to answer our questions:) We definitely recommend if you are looking for a cool, practical and ecological way to discover the region!
We had a GREAT vacation thanks to the Family Van.
The team is professional, friendly and above all available.
I can only recommend.
We rented the van for our 9-day trip through the beautiful Basque Country and were absolutely thrilled! The layout is well thought-out and of high quality, and thanks to electric mobility, driving is not only quiet and pleasant, but also environmentally friendly. At the same time, we were completely autonomous during our trip.
We would like to highlight the quality of the team's service: very friendly, helpful and reachable at any time during the trip. We would definitely book again!
Very well equipped van where everything is there and has been well thought out, very pleasant to drive thanks to its small footprint, you can park everywhere. It is easy to recharge it either at the fast terminals or simply at night on a simple plug in the campsites while you sleep! Noémie and the team are very responsive and friendly, they are there to answer questions at any time. It was our first experience and I was a bit worried but in the end it was very simple! I recommend 😃
Going on an adventure with The Family Van is trying an extraordinary experience. A pre-scheduled road trip with a roadbook and surfing lessons every morning. An experience full of promises, a team of 8 people who do not know each other, for a stay rich in landscapes and encounters. A special mention to Antoine, a top surfing teacher with good advice on the stages of the Road. Not to mention the team available at any time in case of need through the concierge. I would highly recommend this experience!
An incredible experience
A perfect week alongside Kevin and Noémie, in a perfectly equipped electric van.
An ideal program with surf lessons every morning, discovery of this sublime region, well-selected restaurants to invigorate yourself and even freesurfing sessions at sunset for the most motivated.
If you want to meet new people, experience exceptional moments, live the van life to the fullest and improve your surfing skills: this is the ideal stay.
Thank you so much to The Family Van team, I leave with exceptional memories
Rarely have we had to deal with such a great team. Beyond the incredible experience that renting this superb electric van gave us, The Family Van Team accompanies and takes care of its customers. A big thank you to Kévin, Mathieu and Noémie for their smile, their authenticity and their humanity. We will certainly repeat this just magical experience that has the power to put things into perspective.
Congratulations to The Family Van team for this different and innovative offer.
We enjoyed ourselves, both in choosing the spots and during our surfing sessions with our coach.
Thank you for listening, your professionalism and your kindness.
Long live The Family Van
Noémie from Family Van prepared a road trip for us in the Basque Country, combining mountains and sea, from France to Spain.
She was able to fully understand our expectations and needs: we are traveling with our two-year-old child and everything has been adapted for her, from the pace to the activities.
It is a team of enthusiasts who manage to transmit its values through their work. Attentive and responsive, we will be happy to leave with them.
I wish them a great evolution 🚀.
1st experience in a van and 1st experience in an electric vehicle, we are won over! As soon as you book, all the explanations are very clear, it's a great idea to view the videos before departure as well as the recommendations on applications to download in order to facilitate the stay. The team is very responsive if you need to (which was the case to help us recharge the vehicle), which is very reassuring when you are not used to it. They are also very good advice on places where you can sleep.It's another way to think about your stay and you get used to it very quickly.We only want to do it again!
A great relaxing stay thanks to the silence of the electric! The use of the electric vehicle is very easy, including charging at the terminals that can be found easily everywhere thanks to applications or the phone's GPS. In addition, we were won over by the enthusiastic and adorable welcome from the team, on the way there and back. We wish this small family business a great and long journey!!
I rented a van from The Family Van to test the use on vacation before maybe buying one. Mission accomplished with this perfect stay on the Basque coast! As I am traveling alone, the team was great at answering my questions and gave me lots of very useful tips to make my stay a great memory. The van is very functional and easy to drive and the fact that it is an electric one is a real plus. Thanks again to the Family Van team and I hope to see you very soon!
Everything was perfect!
A superb family experience (2 big teens). The Family Van team is top notch. Would highly recommend.
Vans qualis, nice team and very cool backs! We recommend 😇
Great experience, I recommend to anyone who loves adventure, nature and flexibility:) the Family Van team is very caring and the vans are nickel-good! 10/10
Unforgettable experience with The family...
I recommend this unforgettable experience with The Family Van, Kévin and Noémie are incredibly kind, attentive and very professional, between the first contact and the meeting on site everything was put together in an irreproachable manner.
The 5 days in a surfskate yoga van trip that I spent with the group were a pure delight, being the veteran of the band (53 years old) I had a little apprehension but I immediately felt at ease as if we had known each other forever.
The surfskate lessons with @tensehorr allowed me to progress well thanks to Hortense who is very attentive, pro, patient, pedagogue and who provided us with excellent boards from the Yow brand
The vehicles are very well maintained, equipped and very practical.
Thank you for everything, don't change anything you are great and I wish you all the best for the future.
See you next year to do it again.
Great surf trip! Discover the region, surf the beautiful waves of the southwest, enjoy convivial moments and enjoy driving these soothing and comfortable electric vans. Great memories shared with our travel companions as well as our top guides, Kevin and Noémie. I highly recommend this vacation, it was a joy!
The Family Van Group Stay
We spent a wonderful week with friends.
Breathtaking landscapes, wild surfing sessions, and above all, laughter and good humor:)
Thanks to Kevin and Noémie for their dedication and their perfect organization.
See you next year!!!
This is the second time I have rented from The Family Van and there is no doubt that there will be a third and more! Top customer service and comfortable van, nothing to complain about
An incredible stay in the sun! The electric van is super well equipped, very comfortable! The electrical side is super simple with the card for the charging stations, a real piece of cake! Next step, learn to surf!
A first in an electric van that went very well!
A friendly, responsive and attentive team. There was everything you needed to travel for a few days. We had brought a small extra blanket in view of the temperatures (February). We did not plan a specific itinerary and gradually came up with recommended places or found on the internet. To be done again!
Great experience to test this mode of travel in slow travel mode. New vehicle with a simple and practical layout. Team with great care and attentive to the smallest details. Thanks to the whole team.
First experience in a van for my boyfriend and I, we loved it. We visited the Basque country (French and Spanish) at the pace of an electric van.
We took the opportunity to surf thanks to the boards rented with the van.
The team is great and gives lots of advice for beginners in van life. They are super responsive if you have questions before or during your trip.
First experience in a van in the Landes and the Basque Country incredible, with an organization of The Family Van team at the top. The team provides us with a roadbook that allows us to organize our stay, give us ideas on activities and places to visit along our entire itinerary. There are also recipes that are adapted to the van. The van is super comfortable and contains everything you need to cook, eat outside, surf (chairs, table, drying rack, boards, wetsuits, poncho,...). Also driving and charging electric cars are super easy. The itinerary was adapted for each charge.
Our days were punctuated by a surf lesson in the morning adapted to our level. Then walks, visits to the various spots or get back in the van to continue our itinerary while enjoying the beautiful landscapes. A big thank you to the team, we can't wait to come back for the next group trip!!
Wonderful stay in the Family Van!
We loved traveling in this vehicle, which was very pleasant to drive and very well equipped, which allowed us to discover the Basque coast gently.
I 100% recommend The Family Van for an ecological and authentic trip:)
I wanted to say a BIG thank you again for everything! Sincerely they are very nice people, who are present and available throughout your stay. The van is great, I missed nothing! I recommend them with your eyes closed:) Thanks again, Ombeline & Osko
Very good experience with an electric van from Thé Family Van. Good comfort, good autonomy and a team that listens.
First, the vehicle: clean, practical and comfortable... perfect for our road trip.Then the service, before and during and after Kevin and Noémie are full of good advice and present to accompany you throughout the stay.This is what makes the difference for us: Freedom, autonomy, flexibility and good vibes! We can't wait to repeat the experience!
Very pleasant weekend in a van
Little gift for the birthday of my top companion! Fully equipped van, very simple and smooth to drive and comfortable. No worries to pick it up since the offices are close to the station. Thank you again for your responsiveness!
Just a great experience! On board the van I was able to experience great freedom, with magnificent natural landscapes and then surfing lessons in the same spirit! It was a great human adventure that will remain engraved in my heart! A truly magical return to basics! I am delighted and I recommend it with my eyes closed! 👌🏻🏄🏻♀️🌊🌿🚐🙏🏻🌈🙌🏻
Discretion and efficiency 👌
Collective and conviviality 🤝
Surprise and wonder 🤩🌊🏄
Thank you Noémie and KévinThank you to the June 22 group 😉💪🙏
We really enjoyed our stay in an electric van, it was well equipped with everything we needed.
The van is pleasant to drive and charging is very easy when camping.
The family van team is great, very friendly and responsive by message during the stay.
A superb getaway in a campervan!
We recently opted for a van rental from Dax to visit the region, and our experience was just great.
Here's why we're giving it five stars:
Ease of recovery: Pickup of the van at the exit of the station was quick and simple, making it easy to start our trip.
Impeccable layout: The van was perfectly equipped, meeting all our needs for a comfortable stay. Even as newbies to this type of trip, we did not miss anything.
Pleasant driving: Driving the van was smooth and pleasant, which greatly contributed to our enjoyment of discovering the area.
Useful guide: We also opted for the additional guide, which proved to be a nice resource for discovering spots to see/restaurant/campgrounds in the region without getting too busy.
And as a possible area for improvement, we simply suggest providing new campers with additional information on campsite closing times, in order to facilitate their travel experience.
In summary, our van getaway was a memorable experience, and we would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a worry-free adventure in this beautiful region. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! 🚐🌟
We tested the ThevanFamily electric van during a 4-day road trip in Landes. We really enjoyed this ecological and economic experience. Indeed, there was no need to fill up with gas (that's the principle) and to recharge, we stopped for the night at campsites or used fast charging stations during our lunch breaks or visits. And what about the layout of the van? Ideal for 1 or 2 people, it offers bed, fridge and kitchen space. A small studio on wheels, super practical. Personally, we fully subscribe to this new concept.
I rented an electric van to discover the moors with my dog (The Family Van is “Pets Friendly”). My biggest fear was struggling to charge the van. But in fact, there are many stations installed and in addition, easy to locate, with the ChargeMap application. I really enjoyed traveling in silence:) And parking in the only parking space that was left... reserved for electric cars, to plug in. Then, the Landes department, and great! Loved it! The team is very attentive, they help, throughout our trip, if we have a technical question! Very reassuring!
Great first time in a van with Family Van. The experience is great, Kevin was extremely thoughtful and thoughtful. We highly recommend!
We had an unforgettable experience: top welcome, circuit and logistics with the greatest care, surfing lessons with the best teacher, an ultra-comfortable and easy to drive van, exceptional encounters... Everything was perfect! In the top 5 of my best vacations ever:) Thank you The Family Van, I will be back and I recommend you 1000%!

Frequently asked questions
What is included in the individual rental?
When you rent a van for individual use, you get free bedding, outdoor accessories (camping table and chairs), as well as all cooking equipment (cutlery, utensils, stove and a gas bottle) free of charge. Basic multi-risk insurance is also included, and free of charge.
How do your group stays/itinerant surfcamps work?
At The Family Van, each surfcamp is a unique adventure, composed of a fleet of 3 to 7 vans, with 1 to 3 people per vehicle, thus forming a close-knit group. You will be accompanied by Noémie and Kévin, the co-founders of The Family Van, throughout your journey.
What makes our surfcamps exceptional is their itinerant nature: every day, you will explore the region in your campervan, from Biscarrosse to Saint Jean de Luz, and surf on world-famous spots thanks to daily lessons.
The days are divided into two parts: a half-day dedicated to surfing lessons, and the other to discovering the region and activities such as village visits, tastings of local products, aperitifs on the beach/guinguettes, shopping sessions, more free surfing sessions in addition to lessons.
Our desire is to offer a differentiating and complete experience unlike traditional surfcamps during which you stay in the same place during the week. Roaming and traveling in a van also create a special atmosphere and proximity for an unforgettable stay.
Are surf camps open for all levels?
Our surfcamps are open to everyone, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level! Our teachers adapt to your level to offer you personalized courses and help you progress at your own pace.
How does the tailor-made stay option work?
After discussing your travel project (budget, interests, essentials...), our team creates a tailor-made roadbook. It includes a detailed itinerary and daily recommendations for activities, exclusive addresses, and accommodation suggestions. You can then give us your feedback so that we can adjust the roadbook to suit you.
What is the autonomy of the van?
Our vans have a range of 330 km and are equipped with fast charging (40 minutes). This long range and fast charging make electric vehicles perfectly suited and compatible with campervan travel.
How long does it take to charge the van?
On a fast charging station, charging a vehicle with 10 to 85% autonomy takes 35 to 40 minutes on average: the time to have a coffee and clean the van before leaving!
You also have the option of recharging the van at slow charging stations (between 2 and 7 hours for the slowest ones) or at the campsite, overnight.
It's up to you to choose the most suitable option according to your itinerary.
