Say hello to Chewie! Our classic VW Westfalia. He’s a burly ‘85 Westy that goes opposite of light speed. We’ve upgraded him with a few luxuries, and as always — stocked full of top notch camping gear.Full featured, the van includes a "pop top", 2 beds to sleep 4 adults comfortably, propane stove, an aluminum cooler, sink, portable heat, outdoor camping table, a closet with plenty of storage, and those killer bucket seats that swivel! Like the rest of the Westy's we all love, Chewie is fully equipped to meet all your camping and adventure needs. We've modernized him with a bluetooth stereo, solar panel + auxiliary battery to keep your gadgets charged during your adventure, and he’s also working with an Automatic Transmission and power steering so there's no need to learn how to operate a stick shift or be a professional arm wrestler.Chewie is perfect for a long family trip or just a quick getaway for a couple to a nearby beach or National Park. We hope you will enjoy him for your next adventure as much as our family does! Pro tip: If you pass another VW, be sure to wave. Peace signs, shakas, and the always classic rock on formations work best ( | | ), but any old gesture will do. It’s a tradition amongst VW van drivers like you :)Qué incluyeRental includes 100 miles per day; extra miles are $1.00 each. While the van can travel 300+ miles daily, it’s best to stay under 200 miles, especially in hot weather. For longer drives, please take occasional breaks for you and the van.Included Equipment:
• Medium pot
• Small frying pan
• Cutting board
• 4 mugs
• 4 large plates
• 4 small plates
• 4 bowls
• 1 small mixing bowl
• Knife
• Forks/spoons/butter knives
• Wine opener
• 2 sleeping bags
• 2 pillows
RecomendacionesHighly recommend you download the iOverlander mobile app to find amazing scenic places to park and camp.

Peace signs, shakas, and the always classic rock on formations work best (✌️ | 🤙 | 🤘), but any old gesture will do. It’s a tradition amongst VW van drivers like you :)Otros detalles importantesPlease keep in mind that this is a unique vehicle that requires more attention than a modern vehicle. Keep in mind that when going over mountain passes or steep grades it will slow down to maybe 40-45 mph. This is normal and part of the journey. Please do not push it too hard, Chewie is just telling you that you need to "slow life down" 😊

Responsive, helpful, and communicative host

Anthony promptly responds to messages, provides thorough instructions and a 'how-to' video, and helps coordinate trips. He is flexible with scheduling, ensuring comfort and equipping the van with essentials.

Drives smoothly for vintage van

The well-maintained 1985 Westfalia, nicknamed "Chewie," features a new engine, Bluetooth stereo, backup camera, cooling fan, and hydraulic pop-top. It drives smoothly on highways and mountain roads, and is fully stocked with camping essentials.

Great experience with Anthony and his VW Vanagon Westy "Chewy". It was in great shape, especially for an older car. It has a lot of nice comfort features and upgrades you wouldn't expect from one of these-- a fan in the back to keep things cool, a hydraulic assist for the pop-top, a backup camera, a Bluetooth stereo, and most importantly a new engine. It drives very well and keeps up on the highways and the mountain roads. Just be sure not to go "lightspeed" and you'll be a-okay. Anthony is very responsive, helped coordinated what we needed, and was very helpful making sure that we were comfortable with the van for our family. We would definitely rent it again!

Great van even though it’s an old van, but that’s the draw of renting a westy. Really clean and wonderful van for unforgettable camping around San Jose. My family loved every second of it.
