Classic VW campervan hire from private owners
Nothing says road trip like a classic Volkswagen campervan. BookAclassic lists privately owned VW campers across the UK, from 1960s Splitscreens and 1970s Bay Windows to T25s and early T4s, hired directly from the owners who restored and maintain them. Take one for a weekend by the coast, a week touring Cornwall or Scotland, a festival, or a wedding where the van becomes part of the photographs.
VW campervans available to hire
- Type 2 Splitscreen vans from 1950 to 1967, the original and most collectable
- Bay Window vans from 1968 to 1979, the most usable classic camper
- T25 and T3 vans from the 1980s, with more space and a more modern drive
- Early T4 and T5 Transporter campers for a longer trip in comfort
- Beetles, Karmann Ghias and other air-cooled Volkswagens listed by the same owners
Road trips, holidays and festivals
Most VW camper hires run for a weekend or a week. Listings show the rate, the mileage allowance, the berths, whether the van has a pop-top, a cooker, a fridge and bedding, and the driver requirements, which are usually a minimum age of 25 and a full licence held for several years. Owners will show you how everything works at handover and often suggest campsites and routes. Cornwall, Devon, Pembrokeshire, the Lake District and the North Coast 500 are the favourites.
VW campervan wedding hire
A VW camper is one of the most popular alternative wedding cars on BookAclassic, especially for a relaxed or festival-style wedding. The owner drives, dresses the van with ribbons and bunting, and stays for the photographs; some vans can carry the bridesmaids or the wedding party as well as the couple. Search from your venue's postcode to see the campers available on your date.
Photoshoots, events and film
Classic VW campers are in demand for advertising and editorial photography, film and television, corporate events, product launches and as a prop or bar at parties and festivals. Owners will attend with the van and can usually supply period details.
Where to find a VW camper
Owners are listed across the UK, with the most choice in the South West, the South East, the Midlands, the North West and Yorkshire. Because campers are hired by the week, book early for the summer holidays and for bank holiday weekends.
