You always have to pick up the key yourself, and bring your driver’s license as identification.
Where can I pick up the key?
At least 1 day before the reservation, you will be contacted to arrange where and when to pick up the key and the van. This will normally take place with one of the board members.
What type of bus is it and how much space is there?
The van is a Volkswagen Transporter T6 2.0 TDI 84hp L2H1. It has a total of 9 seats, with the rear 2 rows of seats being removable to increase cargo space. The other seats can be folded down. It has a sliding door on the side and a rear liftgate that opens upward.

Are there any other costs associated with borrowing the van besides fuel expenses?
Borrowing the bus is free of charge. You only pay for the fuel or possible parking costs. Of course, you also pay for any damages or fines incurred during the use of the bus.
