Hello! Thanks for taking a look at my listing. I am delighted to offer my VW California Ocean for hire. This is a top-spec model, with loads of factory extras (including a shower) and it's an absolute dream to drive. There is decent cooking equipment, an espresso maker, YETI mugs and Falcon plates. You can connect your Apple or Android device to the media system - perfect if you prefer Google Maps. The media system also has VW Discovery navigation, which is useful when you are out of cellular reception. Being a VW factory model, everything works and it's a joy to go away in. This is the PERFECT van for a couples getaway (although it sleeps four so also perfect for kids too). You will LOVE it.

    We had a great time away in the van. Dan gave a thorough handover about the van before we set off. The van was well stocked with everything we needed for our trip. The van was easy to drive. Good communication from Dan and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try out a campervan.

    We had a fantastic trip for two nights. It was our first experience in a camper and Dans van was the perfect introduction. Well equipped and to a high standard the van was very comfortable. Dan was especially friendly and helpful, we spoke prior to collection to get advice about where to stay and how to make the most of our trip and upon collection he showed us around the van which made it really easy to use for the first time . We would highly recommend hiring from him.

    Had a great time in this van. You can tell Dan has looked after it immaculately, it drives great and all kit he provides in it makes hire and travel easy comfortable and convient. Dan's communication was great, making pick up and drop off easy. He also gave us a heads up about any little quirks or issues the van may have so we knew exactly what to expect with it. Thanks again Dan!

Hello! I love to escape the city and get out into the hills. Living in Manchester, I take advantage of my proximity to the Lake District and Snowdonia - when my van is rented out, I'm out there in it.
