Overview
This is our classic red camper meant for those who want to enjoy a cruising around and camping out. We can also provide (if available) a childs cot that can be used as a bed for a child under 70 lbs or extra shelf for luggage that helps free up space in the van while you're parked.
What is included (costs vary):
We can include an ice chest, basic bedding, camp stove and basic cooking equipment. We also have camp chairs, bikes, bike racks, roof racks, surf board etc.
If you have any other requests, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
Special Considerations:
We understand that these vans are nearly 50 years old and sometimes things may break. We just ask that if a visor clip or window handle breaks that our customers let us know so we can make preparations to fix the van before the next renter.
The van is a manual transmission and is aircooled so to protect our renters from potential breakdowns we do not allow renters to take the van into the desert areas during summer months.
We allow the van to be driven as far as the bay area but require at least 4 or 5 days rental fo such trips.
If you wish to rent the van for a longer trip we can help work with the price, but may require a higher deposit (that is refundable.)
How the rental process works:
When you come to checkout the van, we will show you how to use the fold down bed, pop top bunk, table etc. We will also do a test drive together so you can see how to drive the van and to make sure you are able to drive a manual transmission proficiently.
After we go through the van, we will check off that the Van's mechanics are in good working order, the interior is clean, and note any body damages.
We are able to deliver or pick up the van as far as San Francisco. The rate varies based on fight tickets and driver availability.
We have a strict cancellation policy to ensure that the van is available to those who would like to rent it. We can not hold a reservation without a non-refundable deposit.
