Not only is this our business, it is our absolute passion. We want to ensure you the best possible experience in your campervan and have years of experience which we’re happy to share.
From general advice, packing tips, meal planning, location inspiration or anything else; our smartphone app will give you all the support with how to videos and stacks of other info in the palm of your hand! However we’re always here for a chat to make your experience as stress-free as possible.
All of our campervans are 2.0l BiTDI 204BHP engines with 7 speed Automatic gearbox.
These are really powerful engines which perform well even when fully loaded and pull much more like a car than a van.
The elevated seating position gives excellent visibility & driver aids such as Brake Assist, City Emergency Braking, Park Assist, Lane Change Assist – side scan & a rear view camera really make life easy for manoeuvring
Each of our campervans are based on the VW California Ocean which is fitted with 4 seatbelts allowing for 4 occupants, including the driver. When fully converted for sleeping, the campervan offers 2 double beds which will comfortably sleep 4 adults.
In short, no.
We want you to be free to travel and experience the campervan for the purpose it was designed: Exploring, following the good weather, finding your perfect destination, adventure…
Yes, travel to most of the EU is not a problem but there are some limitations so please advise your travel plans before you book to avoid issues. EU travel is subject to a £15 per day charge which covers driving insurance certificate, roadside assistance cover & all items legally required to drive on the continent such as warning triangle, reflective vests etc.
Pets are allowed in some of the campervans and can be selected upon booking with a small additional charge. We keep some of the vans pet free to ensure suitability for people with allergies.
The following is included as standard with you campervan hire:
The campervan will be fully equipped with most of the things you’ll need while you’re away with the exception of towels, bedding, clothes and food.
The campervan does have a built in heater which can be programmed to come on by day/time however we do recommend bringing duvets or sleeping bags suitable for the time of year and weather conditions.
When packing we recommend using soft bags rather than rigid suitcases to maximise the storage area of the California. You may also find it easier to keep items in separate smaller bags for easier organisation.
