Dave & Matt Vans, a manufacturer and dealer of Lifestyle Vehicles, has formed a partnership with Kift, a creator of inclusive digital nomads, van lifers, and alternative lifestyle seekers community, in a mission to make van life more accessible, inclusive, and community-centric.
Through this partnership, both companies aim to provide mutual benefits to each other, making testing and van life pursuit easier, whether temporary or permanent, according to a press release.
They plan to provide van accessibility at an affordable price, safe infrastructure, and a built-in community for alternative living. Among the benefits, Kift members will have priority access to buy and rent lifestyle vans from Dave & Matt Vans and a 20% discount on all their van rentals.
On the other hand, Dave & Matt Vans customers will get three complimentary nights at any property of Kift, as well as another free month if they choose the option to get a membership plan. They will also receive instant access to the Kift network.
Kift has four distinguishing properties across the west of the United States, providing anyone with accessible, community-owned spaces who choose to live communally and work anywhere.
Their membership packages range from a 30-day “punch pack” pass, and a three-month pass, to an annual membership.
Dave & Matt Vans provides some of the most affordable and reliable campervans with direct-to-consumer convenience. The company’s all-new lineup of 2023 Lifestyle Vehicles includes four different customizable models with payment options for as low as $600 a month.
“At Dave & Matt Vans, we’re all about meeting people where they’re at, to help get more folks out on the road and make their van life dreams more attainable, whatever that looks like for them,” said Matt Felser, Co-Founder of Dave & Matt Vans.
“We can’t think of a more fitting partner for this work than Kift, whose mission pairs so naturally with ours. While we provide the Lifestyle Vehicles, Kift provides the ‘roadmap’ and amenities – together giving people the tools and community they need to make van life sustainable for the long term.”
“With Kift, we take all the benefits of van life – the mobility, autonomy, and freedom – and combine them with the traditional amenities of urban areas – like WiFi, communal meals, and hot showers – to provide a truly viable alternative lifestyle that could replace daily living, alongside a sense of community and belonging,” said Cam Lindsay, Director of Member Experience & Partnerships.
“Collaborating with Dave & Matt Vans will ensure our members have access to affordable vehicles that will unlock a world of possibilities when combined with our vibrant community. ”
