The Campervan must be returned clean including all eating utensils plates, cups, pots and pans. If it is returned exceptionally dirty then a cleaning charge of £25 will be applied. The fuel gauge should also read the same on return as when the hire commenced (owner will endeavour to ensure that it is full on collection).
Special condition: If the water tank is filled with Diesel accidentally, there will be a £200 charge levied. This is because it takes considerable time and effort to remove and replace the built in water tank.

Had a fantastic trip up in Scotland exploring the North Coast 500 route. Just out of season which made the roads a lot more pleasant to travel on. The camper (Stan) ticked every box needed for the trip, comfortable, reliable & cosy. James the host was outstanding, very welcoming and gave us a great briefing on all the key points to make the most of Stan. I will definitely rebook through James in the future and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a camper to hire for a NC500 adventure!
Sarah
We had a wonderful couple of nights in Stan, travelling up to Ullapool and over to the Isle of Lewis. James was so helpful and quick to answer questions, and even dropped us to the station after we’d returned the van so we didn’t miss our train!
I wouldn’t hesitate to hire from James again, 100% recommend.
Response from James
Thanks very much for your great review
Sarah. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family!
Amanda
Our journey through the Scottish Highlands was nothing short of brilliant, all thanks to the exceptional experience of renting "Stan," James' remarkable campervan. From the very beginning, James went above and beyond to ensure our adventure was smooth and memorable.
As for Stan, the campervan, it left us absolutely thrilled. Beyond our expectations, it was not just a mode of transportation; it was a home away from home. Stan came fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, and driving it was an absolute joy. Navigating the scenic Highlands became a breeze, and it amplified the enjoyment of exploring the awe-inspiring landscapes.
I can't emphasize enough how much I recommend James and Stan. Our experience was unequivocally positive, a solid 100% on the satisfaction scale. If I ever have the opportunity to visit the area again, there's no doubt in my mind that I'd choose to embark on this fantastic adventure once more.
Response from James
Thanks so much for posting such a positive review Amanda. It was my pleasure hosting you and Andy and I am very happy to read that your excursion in Stan went so well!
Stan the van was an excellent mobile accommodation for our adventure along the NC500. James was friendly and approachable who gave us an easy tutorial on how Stan works and sets up which made the whole experience much easier, any questions or concerns we had he was quick to reply. I would not hesitate to book in the future through James again.
Response from James
Thanks for the great review Jeff and it was a pleasure to host you and Jess. Those pictures you took look incredible, especially the drone ones!
Andrew
Another great trip in Stan, as before Stan was very clean, well equipped and maintained. James is very friendly and communication is timely and very clear and efficient.
The van is perfect for my trip to Skye and the west coast givening the flexibility to park up in very beautiful locations.
Looking forward to my next trip hope ly in the Autumn.
Response from James
Thanks again for the great review Andrew and I look forward to welcoming you for your next trip!
Kelly
Excellent. James was very helpful and welcoming. Stan was a great van to drive around the NC500 and we loved our trip.
Response from James
Thanks for the great review Kelly. It was a pleasure hosting you and Mark!
Kyriakos
We had an amazing experience renting the campervan "Stan" from James for our trip to the highlands. James was incredibly helpful and always available when we needed assistance. Stan, the campervan, exceeded our expectations - it was fully equipped and a joy to drive. It made exploring the majestic highlands so much easier and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend James and Stan - a 100% positive experience. If I find myself in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to repeat this fantastic adventure!
Response from James
Thanks very much for the great review Kyriakos! It was a pleasure meeting you and Jenny and I love the pictures you took. All the best to you both.
Ali
First class service from James
Very helpful and easy to deal with
Van was first class can’t recommend his van highly enough
Would 100% deal with him again 10/10
Response from James
Thankyou so much for such a nice review Ali. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife and thanks for taking great care of Stan!
Ishbel
A huge thanks to James (& Stan the campervan). We had a lovely weekend away, the bed and kitchen really helped for my first venture into camping. And the kids loved the campervan.
Response from James
Thanks very much for your review Ishbel. I'm really pleased that your kids enjoyed Stan and it made your camping experience a comfortable one!
Ami
We cannot rave about James and Stan the van enough! James was easily contactable and answered any questions we had from the get go. He was incredibly accommodating where possible with any requests that we had.
James called us when Stan was ready and even collected us from the station so we could go through Stan and the paperwork together. The helpfulness didn’t stop there - any questions we had whilst on the road were quickly answered if we couldn’t work it out for ourselves. Stan the van was very comfortable for the 2 of us and easy to use. Lots of storage options and amenities with plates, cutlery, pots and pans, etc. and James provided some bedding too (pillows/sheets/duvets) so we just had to bring ourselves and clothes.
Thank you Stan and James for our wonderful trip around Scotland!
Response from James
Thanks very much for the great review and very kind words. It was great to meet you and Rob and I am pleased you enjoyed your trip in Stan!
Naomi
We had a fantastic holiday! Stan was equipped with everything we needed, we were warm and comfortable, and he was fun and easy to drive.
James is a lovely person and a great host. He was extremely kind and went out of his way to assist us getting to and from the airport, he was also very helpful with advice and tips on the area. We would not hesitate to book again. A* all round, thank you James 🤜🤛
Response from James
Thanks for your very positive review and kind words Naomi. It was a pleasure meeting you, Nic and Corbyn and I hope to welcome you all again should you decide to explore more of the Highlands!
We had a fantastic time; the van was perfect for our weekend. Was clean and came with all the necessities needed as well as extras! James was also extremely welcoming and helpful about the area and dropped us back to the airport as well which super helpful! Highly recommended we will be using again if
In the area!
Thanks James and Stan the Van!
Response from James
Thanks for the kind words and great review Chris. It was a pleasure meeting you and Helen and I am really pleased that everything went well. I hope to welcome you both back in the future should you decide to explore more of Scotland.
Andrew
We had a great time in Stan. The van was well enough equipped, easy to mange, a good size for the narrow roads, economical. But it was James who really made our experience first-class, making everything as easy as possible for us - splendid service and support. Thanks again, James.
Ursula and Andrew
Response from James
Thank you very much for the great review Ursula and Andrew! It was a pleasure meeting you both and thanks for taking great care of Stan!
Kiran
Stan was an excellent home for our family of four for one week, well equipped and surprisingly comfortable.
James was available and accomodating both before and during our trip, going out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed.
Thanks James (and Stan!)
Response from James
Thankyou very much for posting a great review Kiran, it was a pleasure to host you and your family and I hope to welcome you back again if you decide to explore Scotland again.
Philip
Couldn’t have asked for any more from Stan or James to be honest! The van is extremely well kitted out with absolutely everything you’ll need during your trip. James was a fantastic host too, giving us everything we needed and being on hand for any questions or issues. He even pays if you need to replace the gas bottle during your trip. 10/10, will be booking again!
Response from James
Thanks for the great review Philip. It was a pleasure hosting you and Kyna and I look forward to seeing you both whenever you decide to visit in the future!
Caroline
Stan was absolutely fantastic. He handled the twisty roads of the NC500 like a dream and had everything we needed for a stress free week away. James was highly responsive to any questions and accommodating. Highly recommend!
Response from James
Thanks for the great review Carri, it was a great pleasure to meet you and Matt and I am pleased that you had such great weather too!
Brilliant vehicle, and James was super helpful and informative and stayed in touch throughout. Having a heater made a world of difference!
Response from James
Thanks for the great review Leo. It was a pleasure meeting you and Joe and I am glad you enjoyed your travels in Stan!
Had a fantastic winter trip with a number of adventures. James is a great providing detailed timely information from the start. Very friendly and helpful responding quickly to all communications. The van was great provided everything I needed being very clean and well maintained. The gas heater was a great in the -5-10 degree temperatures. James also fitted winter tyres and provided a shovel which were essential driving in the snow. This was my first time hiring such a van and all in all was a great experience. Would recommend 'Stan' without any hesitation and will be back in the spring.
Response from James
Thanks for the great review Andrew and for your repeat booking. Stan is fully ready for your next adventure :-)
Charlie
Great Van!
Comfortable night's sleep with the mattress topper
The captain's swivel chair makes the van very roomy and i think the driver seats also turns but i only realised after giving the van back
Response from James
Many thanks for your great review Charlie. Great pics you took!
Charlotte
Absolutely phenomenal trip to Skye in Stan! Loved every minute. The van was perfect and clean, with all we needed. Great to drive and clearly well maintained, we would 10000% recommend! If I could think of anything, a topper for the bed would have been a real added bonus. Please note that from Inverness airport a £30 taxi is required, we tried the bus but no such luck. Either way fantastic and James was a great person to deal with from start to finish. Very happy campervan-ers!
Response from James
Thanks for your great review Charli. It was a pleasure meeting you and Andy and I appreciate the good care you took of Stan. I hope to welcome you both back if you wanted to explore more of Scotland.
Vivienne
We had a great time in Scotland in Stan. James was very helpful with all queries raised. Van was well equipped and easy to drive around the testing roads on the North Coast. James very friendly and flexible with drop off and pick up times and helped with lift to the airport. Will we definitely be back again
Response from James
Thanks for the great review Vivienne. It was a pleasure meeting you and Robert and I would welcome you both if you decided to hire again to explore more of Scotland.
Rodrigo
James was really attentive and always willing to help to make our trip perfect.
The van was really nice with all the amenities we needed to discover the highlands.
I would highly recommend James for your next adventure!
Best wishes,
Rodrigo.
Response from James
Thanks for your great review Rodrigo and for taking good care of Stan. I am pleased you enjoyed your trip and would welcome you if you ever decided to hire again to explore more of Scotland.
Sarah
James was utterly brilliant. Always super prompt & responsive with comms. We loved “Stan” and can’t wait for more breathtaking Highlands adventures in the future. James has kitted Stan out with love & proper attention to detail. When our original booking with another Goboony provider fell through at the last moment due to unforeseen circumstances on their side, James & Stan stepped gallantly into the breach. Our 11 year-old & dog slept blissfully in the upstairs section while my husband & I were very comfortable down below once we’d ironed out one snag. This being that sleeping directly on the reclining leather seating proved too hard - luckily our son was happy to let us use his mattress topper. We recommended that James provide a topper for upstairs & downstairs & he said he’d action that. Otherwise, perfection! We’ll definitely be back!
Response from James
Thankyou for your very positive feedback Sarah. It was a pleasure meeting you all and of course Duki the dog :-) I have ordered a new mattress topper to improve Stan's comfort so thanyou again for the constructive input. All the best. James
