One van. One local owner.

Trust starts as a ripple.

I’m Mick, a hockey, golf, volleyball-dad in Byron Center. I rent one well-kept Ford Transit Explorer Van for families and groups around Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Explorer Van Company transformed it into a passenger-focused touring van with leather seating, a raised roof, entertainment and rear climate controls. It is not a cargo van with seats added, and it is not part of a rental fleet. My name is attached to every trip.

Plug into the 32-inch Smart TV, connect to high-speed Wi-Fi and settle in for the ride. Bring the console, controllers and any cables it needs. Kids, teens and grown-up gamers will understand why this matters.

Kick the tires from your couch.

Turo doesn’t let me show this video on the listing, so I made a complete walkthrough here. I’ll personally show you the seating, storage, 32-inch Smart TV, Wi-Fi, controls and Explorer conversion details that make this much more than a cargo van.

Real rides. Real stories.

Every trip finds its own rhythm.

The music never stopped

Even the bear heard the dancing music.

Lisa, one of my guests, sent me this during her trip. The Gig-Van gets people there. The stories are what come home.
