Recycled campervans for rent

Cheeky Campers is a Swiss startup that uses secondary/recycled materials to upgrade 'pre-loved' vehicles into simple, unique and affordable camper vans. The vehicles are produced in cooperation with local partners, and are rented out online and distributed across various locations in Switzerland. This takes place digitally and without physical contact.

Problem

The two founders of the company realised that in Switzerland, the available range of camper vans is largely inflexible, expensive, large, impersonal, made of plastic and high-tech. It's not possible to rent a camper van for a weekend, or to return it on a Sunday—and pickup locations are situation far from most residents.

Solution

This is why the idea of ​​Cheeky Campers was born. The company provides a unique offer: simple and affordable vehicles, with a flexible rental process. At the same time, it aims to act as ecologically and socially sustainable as possible. The company collaborates with socially-positive integrative labour projects, and consistently builds its vehicles with used and upcycled materials. Moreover, each vehicle is designed by a young artist.

Outcome

The company offers now three different options for camper vans: small, medium and large. By making use of secondary materials, Cheeky Campers cut waste generation and decrease the need for virgin materials.
