At West Country VW Camperhire we are looking forward, like you, to when we can safely go on holiday again.  Our new VW T6 Campervans are sitting all snug and safe waiting for those days to return too.

Starting a new business is never easy and because we wanted to share our love of the VW Campervan, we set up our VW Campervan hire service early this year.  Our timing was not great, but we know everyone will be keen to go on a holiday or short break, when we are all able to resume some kind of normality in our lives.

Often people talk about getting away from it all and in this current situation with Covid-19, it is even more important to focus on when times will be better.

Down here in the West Country, there are abundant places to explore and, even if we still have to keep a sensible distance for some time after the all clear, we will be able to suggest plenty of fantastic destinations for you to visit.

Our Campers will be exactly what you will need for your trip and are comfortably able to fit 2 adults and 2 children or even 4 adults. Our VW campervans are the high quality, T6 Highline and will not disappoint. They have been fitted with an amazing and comfortable interior with all the modern conveniences you expect. They come complete with a hob and grill, fridge freezer and sink with running water. The water tank holds 57 litres and will keep you supplied for your break. We have also fitted a 100-amp solar panel on the roof to give power for the fridge for up to 3 days off grid, should you not be on a campsite. However, there are 13 amp sockets on board should you be on site with an electric hook up and, if it is a little chilly, we have fitted a diesel heater, which runs off the onboard fuel tank, giving you a lovely warm environment.

We have included many essentials in our campervans such as chairs, table, crockery (melamine off course), cutlery, glasses (plastic), saucepans and numerous cooking utensils. Also, available to hire is a lovely BBQ and a 4-bike rack is included.  We absolutely love camping ourselves so know exactly what every camping trip needs!

We at West Country VW Camperhire cannot wait to welcome you after we are all back and safe again!

Stay safe and we will see you on the other side!

We had a wonderful holiday in Fred. We travelled all around Wales, myself, my husband and our dog. Fred was comfortable, warm and well equipped. We wanted for nothing except maybe some sunshine. The whole experience was made easy and exciting with the help and assistance of Lucy and Chris. This was our first time in a campervan but we felt well prepared after watching the YouTube videos Lucy sent us and the patient explanations and demonstrations from both Lucy and Chris. We will be back! Thank you so much West Country Camper Hire. Ann and Gary

My wife and I hired Arthur for a Long weekend as a try before we buy. Lucy and Chris were absolutely brilliant throughout. The information about how to use everything was detailed but not overwhelming. The use of videos ( all backed up with a comprehensive hand book in the van) made Getting “ acquainted “ before the hire started much simpler. There was nothing more we could have asked for, they had thought of everything. When we returned Arthur the hand over was again very friendly and efficient and we the security deposit was back in our account very promptly. Would throughly recommend Lucy & Chris ( and Arthur)without hesitation

We had a great time away in the van which we hired from West Country VW Campervans.All the equipment you would need was included.Lucy was brilliant in showing us how to safely set up the bed and awning and turning on the gas etc.Fred II was great to drive and easy to set up once we arrived at our destination and we knew Lucy and Chris were only a phone call away if we had any problems.A perfect way to try out a campervan before buying – we are hooked.Thanks to Lucy and Chris for the use of Fred. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous trip. The camper was beautifully presented and well kitted out. The booking and return process was seamless and we were kept informed throughout the process. Jo is a real pleasure to deal with and I would strongly recommend their service to anybody that wants to dip their toe into the campervan world.

Spent a wonderful weekend in 'Fred II' with my daughter staying at the Badminton Horse Trials campsite. We were also newbies to the delights of VW campers and 'Fred' (along with Jo and Roger) provided the perfect initiation. A beautifully presented and equipped van which surpassed our expectations for comfort and facilities. 'Fred' was much admired! Special thanks to Jo and Roger for their excellent and patient briefing and support manual incase you forgot anything!

This was my first experience of holidaying in a Campervan and Jo & Roger were most helpful in responding to my questions prior to my holiday. I hired "Arthur" for 10 days in mid Sept 2021 and I was extremely lucky with some late summer weather. I stayed at 3 separate campsites and really enjoyed the freedom that this type of holiday offers."Arthur" was fully kitted out with just about everything you could possibly need for a holiday on the road, including an integrated warm air heater. Even a padded mattress topper was provided which made the bed really comfortable.Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend you take the time to view all the YouTube videos Roger & Jo have created - they clearly demonstrate how to set-up the campervan and they will reinforce the practical demonstration you are given when you collect the campervan. I would also suggest taking a small pop-up tent to use for storing bulky items / extra baggage whilst staying on your campsite. This will allow you to have much easier access to the various storage compartments within the campervan. I hope you enjoy your holiday as much as I did.

This was our first campervan holiday experience and, thanks to Jo and Roger (and Fred), we had an amazing time! Fred was really the star of the show. He is stylish & smart.Fred contained everything we needed for a comfortable holiday and Jo & Roger couldn't have been more helpful with making sure that we were happy with everything before we set off. We were really impressed with the solar power, as we were off grid for 4 days, and everything worked well.I would really recommend this to newbies like us!
