The camper van Getaway used a Maui Spirit 5 Mercedes camper van from Britz Rentals in Cape Town. It had two double and a single bed, fully equipped kitchen, toilet, shower, hot water and freezer. It’s powerful and easy to drive, despite its bulky appearance. There are also smaller motor homes and Britz also does 4×4 and BMW motor-bike rentals.

The Spirit 5 costs R860 a day, unlimited mileage. The smallest camper, the Vito (two people) is R630 a day. Insurance is between R120 and R180 a day. To book one, phone 011-396-1445, e-mail teresa@maui.co.za or see their website at http://www.rainbowcamperhire.co.za.
