FAQs for the VW California Beach

Who is the VW California Camper suitable for?

The VW California Beach is perfect for couples, solo travellers, small families, or groups of friends looking for flexible and spontaneous travel. Unlike larger motorhomes, this campervan stands out for its manoeuvrability, making it easy to navigate narrow streets and busy city roads. Despite its compact size, the VW T6 Camper is equipped with all the essentials for life on the road – from a pull-out cooking area and a cosy roof tent, to ample storage for your gear. Whether you’re off on a weekend adventure or planning an extended road trip across Europe, the California Beach has everything you need for an unforgettable journey.

How much does it cost to hire a VW California?

You can hire one of our VW T6 California campers from £59 per night. However, a fixed flat rate cannot be established, as rental prices are adjusted based on factors such as travel period, booking length, and additional extras. This means you’ll always be able to find a VW California Beach at a reasonable price. It’s also worth checking regularly for our special offers, and those who book early can often secure the best deals.

Does the VW California have a toilet?

No, the VW California Beach does not come with a permanently installed toilet. However, you have the option to book a portable camping toilet for a small additional fee when renting the campervan. This allows you to stay overnight at natural pitches and campsites without sacrificing the comfort of having a toilet.

What is the difference between the VW California Beach and Ocean?

The VW California Beach stands out with its cleverly designed living features, such as a pull-out kitchenette, a cool box, and ample storage space. With five seats, it’s not only perfect for weekend getaways but also makes for a versatile everyday vehicle. The VW California Ocean, on the other hand, is ideal for those seeking more comfort and luxury for longer trips. A fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove, sink, and compressor fridge, along with a 3-zone air conditioning system, are just some of the features that make extended travel in the Ocean a breeze. While the Ocean is slightly more expensive than the Beach, it offers a broader range of features, whereas the Beach offers great value with practical functions at a lower price. Both models are excellent companions for all types of camping adventures, depending on your personal preferences.

Why hire the Beach Hostel campervan?

Renting the VW T6.1 California Beach allows you to travel with 5 people. Moreover, this 5-meter-long Bulli drives like a car, unlike a motorhome, but still has everything you need!

You will receive a link to your customer account together with your booking confirmation. There, you can view details of your booking, such as the vehicle model, pick-up and drop-off times, and more. Additionally, you can directly adjust the following topics and more.

Our station locations can vary significantly. Some are centrally located, while others are a bit more on the outskirts. Please check the detail pages of our stations to see the specific location of the station where you have booked your camper. Additionally, you will find tips on how to get there and information about on-site parking options on the individual station pages.

Unfortunately, our locations do not offer secure parking facilities, and parking spaces are often limited or unavailable. However, there might be potential to find parking in nearby residential or commercial areas. For the best option, leave the car at home and use public transportation, or take a taxi to our station is recommended.

Our Carefree Packages cover you in the event of an accident or damage. With the “Basic” package, you already have basic coverage with comprehensive and breakdown protection included. By upgrading to an “Advanced” or “Complete” package, you can protect yourself against additional types of damage and at the same time reduce your deductible, i.e. the costs you have to pay yourself in the event of damage.

    • Driving license of all drivers
    • VISA or Mastercard (credit or debit) for the deposit (with sufficient funds and please do not forget the PIN). If necessary, payment can also be made by EC card at German stations. You can find more information here.

For all UK registered renters, a driver licence check is compulsory at the time of pick-up at one of our UK stations in order to be fully covered by our travel protection package.

If you are registered in the UK and have more than 6 points on your driving licence and/or with specific past driving convictions you will not be able to drive our vehicles.

For this purpose, if you are renting in the UK you will need to provide the following:

  • Driving licence number
    Address information (As displayed on Driver’s license)
    National Insurance ID
    You can enter the required information on the website GOV.UKin advance and generate a check code and show it at the time of pick-up at the station.

Drivers with a driver’s license from other European countries picking up our vehicles in any UK station are not subject to the driver license check.

If you have a breakdown on the road that restricts your mobility, you can contact the 24/7 mobility service provider around the clock.

  • You can find the telephone number of the mobility service provider responsible for your vehicle in your customer account. You will find your personal link to the customer account in the e-mail with your booking confirmation/rental contract. Please note: The mobility service provider will provide assistance in German or English and only in relation to the vehicle’s driving restrictions. If you have questions about the camping functions, you can find help in the Help Centre, because unfortunately the mobility service provider cannot help here!
  • Document your breakdown as best you can and note down the incident number of the mobility service provider. Send us everything by e-mail to assistance@roadsurfer.com.

Have you had an accident or suffered damage on the road, but your camper is running perfectly? Then please proceed as follows:

  • Take photos of the damage and the surroundings and send an e-mail with a damage report to assistance@roadsurfer.com .
  • In case of an accident, please also fill out the international accident report (in the glove compartment) and send it to the email address above.
  • Inform the police on site (obligatory, otherwise there may be issues with your travel protection coverage!)

Please note that the minimum rental age requirements vary depending on the rental country. Here’s an overview:

United Kingdom: Drivers must be at least 25 years old and have two years of licensed driving experience (driver´s licence class 3 or class B)

USA, Canada, and Ireland: Drivers must be at least 21 years old and have one year of licensed driving experience (driver´s licence class 3 or class B)

Häufig gestellte Fragen zum VW California Beach

Für wen ist ein VW California Camper geeignet?

Der VW California Beach ist ideal für Paare, Singles, kleine Familien oder Freundesgruppen, die flexibel und spontan reisen möchten. Im Vergleich zu einem großen Wohnmobil punktet der Campervan mit seiner Wendigkeit und ermöglicht es dir, bequem durch enge Straßen und lebhafte Städte zu fahren. Trotz seiner kompakten Bauweise bietet der VW T6 Camper alle wichtigen Annehmlichkeiten für unterwegs: von einer ausziehbaren Kochstelle, einem gemütlichen Dachzelt bis hin zu ausreichend Platz für all deine liebsten Sachen. Der California Beach lässt keine Wünsche offen und bietet dir grenzenlose Möglichkeiten – egal, ob du einen spontanen Wochenendausflug planst oder eine längere Reise durch Europa anstrebst.

Was kostet es einen VW California zu mieten?

Einen unserer VW T6 California Camper kannst du bereits ab £59 pro Nacht mieten. Ein fester Pauschalpreis lässt sich jedoch nicht festlegen, da die Mietkosten individuell auf Faktoren wie Reisezeit, Buchungsdauer und zusätzliche Extras abgestimmt werden. Das bedeutet, dass du stets einen VW California Beach zu einem passenden Preis finden kannst. Zudem lohnt es sich, regelmäßig nach unseren Rabattaktionen zu schauen – und wer früh bucht, kann sich oft die besten Angebote sichern.

Hat der VW California eine Toilette?

Nein, der VW California Beach verfügt über keine fest installierte Toilette. Allerdings hast du die Möglichkeit, bei der Miete des Campervans gegen eine geringe Gebühr eine mobile Campingtoilette hinzubuchen. So kannst du auch auf naturbelassenen Stell- und Campingplätzen übernachten, ohne auf den Komfort einer Toilette verzichten zu müssen.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen dem VW California Beach und Ocean?

Der VW California Beach überzeugt mit clever verbauten Wohnelementen wie einer ausziehbaren Küchenzeile, einer Kühlbox und großzügigem Stauraum. Mit seinen fünf Sitzplätzen eignet er sich nicht nur ideal für Wochenendtrips, sondern auch als vielseitiges Alltagsfahrzeug. Der VW California Ocean hingegen ist ideal geeignet für alle, die mehr Komfort und Luxus für längere Reisen suchen. Eine voll ausgestattete Küche mit Gasherd, Spülbecken und Kompressor-Kühlschrank sowie eine 3-Zonen-Klimaanlage sind nur einige der Merkmale, die es ermöglichen, mit dem Ocean problemlos auch längere Zeit unterwegs zu sein. Preislich ist der Ocean etwas teurer als der Beach, bietet dafür jedoch eine umfassendere Ausstattung, während der Beach mit einem günstigeren Preis und praktischen Funktionen punktet. Beide Modelle sind hervorragende Begleiter für jegliche Arten von Campingabenteuern, je nach persönlicher Präferenz.
