I am a VW enthusiast, and wish I had more time to use this camper van myself. I hate to see it sitting in my driveway unused!

    This was a very nostalgic VW and we had a grand adventure in it. The host was very helpful and the communication was solid. Would rent again.

    Thanks for letting me know the A/C didn’t work and I’m sorry you couldn’t use it to cool the camper. I had the A/C serviced as soon as you returned it to me.

    My brother and I had a good experience with the rental. Not being familiar with how to check oil and water did present a concern for us . We enjoyed working with Eric and his wife.
