Here at The Dyrt, we think vanlife is a great way to explore the U.S. If you’re thinking about giving minimalism a try, renting a van is a great way to start. With just one stop you can have your lodging and transportation taken care of while enjoying a unique experience. Lots of van rental companies have popped up, and in most cases, an adventure vehicle can be found close by. Some companies own their vehicles and build them out with cool designs, and others help local van owners share their campers when not in use.
Because we’re such big fans of these great vans, we’re helping make the experience even better by giving partner van companies 14-day free trials for The Dyrt PRO to give to their customers. Now, you can use The Dyrt PRO for free for 14 days when renting with these companies so you’re fully equipped with the best camping tool for the best possible experience.
