One of a Kind Experience

There are many vans that will take you on a road trip, but there’s nothing quite like a road trip in a vintage VW camper van. With a storied history, culture, and personality—these vehicles are truly special. They’re what road trip dreams are made of.

Check out our top 9 reasons to rent a Vanagon for your next adventure—and be sure to book your van and enjoy the magic of a vintage camper van rental!

#1

Soul-serving benefits of traveling slower

You may have heard these vans aren’t built for speed—and that’s just the way we like it. We’re not here to rush our vacations. We’re here to explore the great outdoors, discover something new, and reconnect with the people we love. Vanagons allow us to soak up each moment a little longer. 

#2

Everything You Need on 4 Wheels

We love how these vans are designed to carry just what you need and nothing more. They offer superior organization, so you’re able to pack just a few essentials for sleeping, eating, and adventuring. We even stock our rental fleet with everything you need!

Nostalgia 

Ever since the first VW camper van hit the road in 1949, these vehicles have made headlines. Vintage camper vans are like time machines; they’re windows to the past. From a symbol of the 1960s hippy culture to the minimalist #VanLife of today, these vehicles span generations. Their retro features attract Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials alike—whether road tripping to Woodstock or to Burning Man. It’s hard not to feel a big dose of peace, love, and happiness roaming around in a vintage VW camper van.  

#4

Simplicity

The best adventures are about disconnecting—leaving the to-do's, stress, and baggage at home. Vanagons are perfect for a more authentic experience. No frills. No over-the-top bells and whistles. No complicated features. Less to worry about equals more time to focus on the adventure ahead.  

#5

Camaraderie

Don’t be surprised if people give you a peace sign or wave as you cruise by. These vans spark joy and they’re wonderful conversation starters. We love how these vehicles bring strangers together over a shared love of road trips and wild places. It’s not just a van—it’s a community and a way of life.  

#6

No AC, No Problem

Cool off the old-fashioned way. Nothing gets us in full road trip mode like rolling down the windows. Let the wind blow through your hair, smell the sweet sea breeze, and take in the sounds of the open road.

#7 

good Vibes

There’s no question these camper vans ooze character. Boxy with classic colors and that iconic VW silver badge, they’re synonymous with adventure and the freedom of the open road. There’s certainly no blending in with a Vanagon. These vans are meant to make a statement. Just try not to smile driving one. We dare you (it’s pretty impossible). 

#8

Comfortable & COZY

While travel-ready, vintage camper vans also provide the perfect space to kick back, relax, and recharge. Their cozy interior is excellent for sipping a steaming cup of Joe on a misty morning, cooking up a tasty meal after a long hike, or winding down from an adventure-filled day with a round of cards.

#9

Making Memories

Vintage camper vans offer a portal to an experience, an opportunity for wonder. No matter your destination, you’ll be creating lifelong memories along the way. Snap some photos and send a postcard—you’ll likely be re-telling your road trip adventure stories for years to come.
