We have the T6.1 California Ocean as well as the Grand California 600 to offer our intrepid explorers. Both offer an unprecedented level of quality and refinement as well as truly clever features that other manufacturers or T6 Transporter converters simply fail to imitate.

What is a VW
California campervan?

For over 30 years, the VW California has always been associated with adventure and freedom, the perfect vehicle for spur of the moment trips, weekend getaways or the annual family holidays abroad. These small pop-top roof camper vans are easily manoeuvrable enough to be used as your everyday vehicle, the VW California camper ticks all the boxes. It's a venerable mobile memory-making machine!

​Quite simply they are the Rolls-Royce of campervans. These vehicles are not conversions. The Volkswagen California has different trim levels, engines, brakes and suspension to a converted VW Transporter. Their very DNA is completely separate. They are built entirely by Volkswagen themselves in a dedicated factory and all backed by a VW Warranty, every nut and bolt, from the engine right down to the tap was designed and built by VW. You can be sure of incredible comfort, build quality, refinement and above all, safety. We only offer the very top of the range, the incredible VW California Ocean and the VW Grand California.

What do I need to pack for a VW California road trip?

We think we have thought of everything. We provide cutlery, crockery, cooking equipment, portable gas stove and outside table and chairs. We also provide tea-towels, dishcloths, washing-up liquid and cooking oil.

All you need to bring is your bedding (we can supply you duvets and pillows if required) and your clothes. We recommend soft bags for your stuff rather than rigid suitcases, just so you can fill all the available space.

For UK drivers only we will also need to run a DVLA check on your license, for which you will need your National Insurance number. If you would rather not bring this along you can generate a 'check code' on the DVLA website (www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence) which you will need to share with us.

Overseas licence holders, we will need to see your licence and passport.
Please note: we cannot hire the vehicle without these applicable documents so please ensure you have these organised to avoid disappointment.

Two forms of address verification; one from this group:
Gas bill, Electric bill, Water rates or Broadband bill
