It all adds up to savings, service and peace of mind.
Since 1996 we've been doing business as "IdeaMerge", booking thousands upon thousands of motorhome rentals and French tax-free short-term car leases while developing our reputation for excellence and value.
Yet the name IdeaMerge never really matched what we do. People have always been confused by it.
So, in 2020, we finally changed the brand name.
We are now "Motorvana".
As a business entity we remain Ideamerge LLC.
We haven't changed our business model. Haven't been bought out. Haven't changed ownership.
Same business, same people, better name.
Our new brand name "Motorvana" conveys the unique dynamism and self-sufficiency of the travel products we represent and the clarity with which we represent them. The name also connotes the value you recognize and the peace of mind you realize by booking these products with us and enjoying them with our outstanding support.
Our Motorvana logo symbolizes this complex and vital peacefulness. The logo is inspired by the Renaissance maxim Festina lente, meaning "Make haste slowly" or "Go fast slowly." In antiquity that maxim was typically symbolized with a dolphin wrapped around an anchor, or with a turtle bearing a sail; and sometimes, yes, it was symbolized with a hare emerging from a snail shell.
Our hare also betokens power, luck and elegance. And our snail shell represents the road, a wheel, a springboard, harmony, and the rabbit hole you avoid or ascend from by using our website and benefitting from our other forms of customer support.
Altogether the logo can likewise be viewed as a dragon — symbol of magic, mystery and sacred knowledge and thus the eternal, auspicious but also challenging concomitant of the cyclical, heroic path.
Our customers want to go fast slowly, be self-sufficient, passionately peaceful.
That's precisely what our RV rentals and our short-term car leases — along with our experience and outstanding service — empower our customers to do.
