The van exceeded our expectations. Was fully stocked and everything in fabulous shape. It drove way better than expected for a first time Westie user. Will rent 'Lucy' again.

We had an amazing experience renting the Westfalia! From the moment we picked it up, everything was smooth and easy. The van was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable road trip. From a cozy bed setup to a fully equipped kitchenette. Driving it felt like a nostalgic adventure, and it handled great on both highways and winding scenic roads. Cyrus was friendly, communicative, and clearly takes pride in keeping the van in top shape. We would absolutely rent this Westfalia again for another trip and it added a ton of character and charm to our getaway!

Cyrus est un super hôte

Les super hôtes sont très bien notés et expérimentés, ce qui vous garantit une formidable expérience en plein air.

My passion for VW campervans began as soon as I was old enough to drive. I bought my first Volkswagen bus in 1967 and drove straight to California, starting a lifetime of van-life adventures. Since then, I’ve crossed Canada six times, explored the U.S. from coast to coast, driven throughout Mexico, and even Hawaii, where I lived for several years. My most recent journey was shipping my Westfalia from Vancouver BC to Rotterdam and traveling across Europe and the British Isles in 2019. My vans have also been to Burning Man seven times, still carrying a bit of desert dust as a reminder of the memories made. VW campervans are truly one of the great loves of my life, and my next dream adventure is to drive off-road through the Baja Peninsula. After more than 50 years on the road, sharing these classic Westfalias with travelers visiting Vancouver Island feels natural. I enjoy helping guests experience safe, comfortable, unforgettable road trips across Canada’s most beautiful destinations.
