Custom Built. Immaculately Kept.

High Spec, Owner Maintained

Arturo was spec'd and fitted by Darren himself, to the standard he holds for his own trips. Heated seats, custom-made cushions, a heating system that's never failed. Five years of hire and it still looks new.

Dogs and Cats Welcome

Both are welcome on board at no extra charge. A good number of Arturo's bookings go to dog owners who struggle to find a hire they trust. Bring them along.

Off Grid for up to 10 days

Solar power, a full water system, oven, hob, fridge, shower, toilet, and heating that's never failed. You can go wherever you like without worrying about hook-ups.

Why Arturo

What Most Hire Vans
Won't Tell You

Most campervans for hire are fleet vehicles. Bought in bulk, maintained to a standard, turned around between bookings. There's nothing wrong with that, but it does mean you won't always know what you're getting.

Darren hired a van once. No hot water, no working heating, not particularly clean. It's what made him realise how different Arturo is. Custom fitted to a high spec, with every detail chosen by someone who uses the van himself. Looked after to the same standard whether he's driving it to the Lakes or a hirer's heading for the Highlands.

Five years in, nothing has ever broken down. The heating has never failed. The van has never missed a booking for a mechanical reason. That's not luck. It's the difference between a van someone built for themselves and a van someone bought to rent.

FAQs

Common Questions About Hiring Arturo

Is the van pet friendly?
Yes. Dogs and cats are both welcome on board. This is one of the reasons a lot of people book directly rather than going through a larger operator, where pet policies are hit and miss.
