Meet Tortuga! This van and I are new to Outdoorsy, but not new to adventure. My friends and I have traveled with Tortuga all over the west coast and have made some sweet memories along the way. Now its your turn!
Tortuga has all the essentials plus thoughtful extras to make being on the road or out in nature feel effortless and enjoyable. Traveling with this van invites you to slow down and be present with all the comforts of home, then enables you to roam wherever the horizon calls. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or friends wanting to escape the everyday (well-behaved pets welcome).

[I’m so sorry I don’t rent for Burning Man. Outdoorsy insurance does not cover collision or liability on the playa during the festival, so it’s not worth the risk for me.]
