Planning to spend a week in Scotland in july and had the idea of renting a van for 5 days instead of camping, especially useful if the weather isn't favourable. For those that have used one for such adventures, would a vivaro/SWB transit be big enough for 2 people, 2 bikes and enough kit for a week? I can't see us needing anything bigger, but if they're narrow inside or have odd lumps that means 2 bikes and 2 people wont fit. Thanks for any help.

Bump. Someone must have some experience of this.

The vans you mention will be well big enough for your kit.. you'd be able to sleep in it if you needed to.
Mate and I did a week in Wales years ago in my Fiesta..!

Check the min age for hireing a van, a lot of places are over 25. And don't forget the speed limits are lower in a van

Was planning to sleep in it, otherwise we'd go in the car. Don't worry about age, My Dad's driving. It'll just be so much more pleasant if it chucks it down all week if we're in a van.
