VW California Beach FAQs

Who is the VW California Camper suitable for?

A VW California rental is the ideal vehicle for couples, solo travellers, small families or groups of friends who want the freedom to travel flexibly. Thanks to the clever, compact VW California beach interior design, it comes with everything you need for your travels, from a pull-out cooking area to a cosy pop-up roof and versatile living and storage space.

The VW T6.1 California also offers great manoeuvrability on the road, making it easy to drive through narrow city streets or on winding country roads. All of this means that California Beach offers you limitless possibilities – whether you’re planning a spontaneous weekend trip or a longer journey through Europe

How much does it cost to hire a VW California?

You can hire a VW T6 California campervan at selected roadsurfer locations for as little as £59 per night. The exact price you pay per night will vary depending on when you plan to travel, the booking duration and any additional extras you opt for.

Does the VW California have a toilet?

No, the VW California Beach doesn’t come with an integrated toilet. However, you can add a mobile camping toilet to your VW California hire for a small fee, so you have the freedom to camp at off-grid pitches without sacrificing the convenience of having a toilet.

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

The VW California Beach is designed to offer the basic amenities you need for camping getaways, including a pull-out cooking area, a cool box and generous storage space at an unbeatable price. It is perfect for weekend road trips away or for seasoned campers used to just having the basics.

The VW California Ocean, on the other hand, comes with additional features as standard, such as a fully equipped kitchen with gas cooker, sink and refrigerator as well as three-zone air conditioning system. This makes it perfect for longer road trips into Europe or for those who prefer to travel with life’s little luxuries.

Both vehicles are excellent companions for all kinds of camping adventures, depending on your personal preferences.
