Where have you been, Quirky Campers? Oh wait… we know. You’ve been everywhere!

Think of this as your Spotify Wrapped, but instead of replaying your favourite tunes, you replayed the NC500, Cornwall sunsets, muddy dog walks, and mornings where you finally paused and reconnected.

Over 950 of you left reviews in 2025 — heartfelt, hilarious, helpful, and occasionally muddy — giving us a glimpse into your travels, your triumphs, your tea-making setups, and your four-legged copilots.

We read every single one. And from those stories, we’ve pieced together this snapshot of a year on the road. 

 Book your campervan now to be part of our 2026 Road Trip Recap

Let’s make some memories

Where did you get to?

From Highland hairpins to island ferries and single-track roads that demanded patience (and snacks), Scotland dominated the year. Cornwall and Devon brought the sunshine energy, Wales delivered drama in the best possible way, and a confident handful of you pointed your vans towards Europe for longer, slower adventures.

Two renters even visited nine countries on one campervan trip!

What stood out for you?

Off-Grid Lovers

• Nearly half of all reviews mentioned solar, EV systems, or full off-grid capability.

• Electric vans like Stevie the EV and Volta received unanimous five-star ratings.

• Off-grid mentions peaked in May and September.

With the unmatched joy of saying: “We didn’t need a hookup once.”

How you’ve been keeping things festival friendly in 2025

Our 180+ festival-friendly campervans have been busy! Festivals are even better with a campervan; the freedom to stay close to the action, sleep under the stars, and turn every trip into a mini-adventure. Whether it’s surfing, cheering on a racer, dancing the night away, or visiting a workshop or two, nothing beats returning to a cosy camper at the end of the day.

Who Adventured?

Your Furry Friends

Nearly one in five trips included a dog.

And yes, cats made appearances too.

Campervans have officially proven themselves as excellent shared spaces for paws, people, muddy boots, and afternoon naps. Many family trips included pets, confirming what we already suspected: adventures are better when everyone’s welcome.

Repeat Renters

97 renters clearly told us they’d hired with Quirky before. 

• 61 returned to the same van

• 36 tried a different one

• 100% left five-star reviews

Beyond confirmed repeat renters, another 172 reviews included phrases like:

“Next time we’ll go for longer.”

“Already planning our next trip.”

“Definitely booking again.”

Repeat renters also wrote the longest reviews, averaging 140 words.

Once you’ve found your van, you really have found your van.

Your 2025 Quotes

“This trip made us want our own van.”

142 renters said their hire inspired them to buy, build, or convert their own campervan. Some even wrote reviews from the passenger seat on the way to pick up their new project.

Around 10% said they’d love to list with Quirky one day.

We’ll be ready when you are.

Most Popular Campervans

A glimpse at 6 campervans that were especially popular in 2025:

These vans didn’t just go out once or twice, they became confidence-boosters for first-timers, repeat favourites, and the backdrop to some truly special trips.

To every owner who took time explaining systems, replied quickly to messages, stocked the tea, left thoughtful touches, or reassured a nervous renter: Thank You!

Quirky works because of you.

Next stop… 2026!

With repeat renters, first-timers, future builders, pet-packed vans, and owners sharing something genuinely special, our community keeps growing in the best possible way.

You made 2025 warm, wild, and wonderfully Quirky.

And we can’t wait to see where you go in 2026.
