We were bought the hire of Reggie/Daisy as a gift. All of the info supplied before hire was excellent, info at pick up was very thorough, the lady @ Southampton clearly loves the vans and knows them very well. Vans well equipped, spotless and easy to navigate around inside - really helpful booklet with all the info you need too. Authentic VW drive, takes a while to get used to the gears but we are totally hooked. No air-con so can get a bit hot for the dog. We will be hiring again. Great company, really friendly staff.

We rented a VW van for 5 days and had a lovely time, great to drive with, loads of room, we were not cold at night while sleeping in it(which we were a little worried about prior the rental!) and quite fun to move around in. Not very confortable to sleep in but that's only because we're not that young anymore!

I find it really difficult to put into words just how fantastic this weekend was. Everything about the company is exceptional. Not only do you receive a friendly service but you get the chance to experience the awesome Campervan. The dedication to providing support to the customer is outstanding and we were given a thorough introduction to the camper & advice about this new driving experience. This opportunity has changed our camping outlook, I can safely say we will always plan to hire a Campervan for weekends away and hopefully for longer in the future. What better way to enjoy travel, in comfort, classic style & a well equipped living environment. Thank you again to the advisor for everything we look forward to hiring again very soon.

A lovely three days with dear old Ruby in glorious Dorset. Attractive, well equipped van. Takes a little tome to get used to driving e.g. no powered steering!, and a little difficuly finding third gear, but overall enjoyable and fun. Easy to park, and plenty of places to go without needing to travel very far. We went to Corfe for a couple of days, and then toured the new forest. Delightful. Sleeping arrangements fine and comfortable - no problems. Overall - a great time.

Excellent service. The camper van was in pristine condition and in terms of the equipment provided, everything had been thought of and provided - even down to a fan heater (crucial for April camping). The staff were great and very helpful (even delivering a new cool box to us at the campsite when our fridge broke). They have loads of addiitional equipment you can hire and its all very easy for the novice camper. Would definitely do this again and would go back to VW Camper van hire.

For a classic campervan feel with modern amenities, VW Camper Hire are the best. All the controls and functions of the bed, cooker, fridge etc are fully explained and you are given a folder with all the information you need, including a contact mobile number in case you have problems. There is even a list of petrol stations at Southampton to fill up on the way back. Brilliant service; great value for money; a superb experience. A slightly sore jaw though, as I was grinning all the time I was driving.

We had a great long weekend in Bertie the campervan. Pick-up from the Southampton base was easy (once we found the place!) and off we went. Bertie was very well equipped, with everything you could need for a long weekend of camper-vanning. There was even a little heater to keep us warm during the cold February nights. We certainly got a lot of friendly atttention when parked up - everyone loves a VW camper and wanted to come over and chat! I would recommend VW Camper Hire - friendly and helpful staff, and a great vehicle, perfect for cruising the New Forest and south coast.

It's offical, we are mad. We hired Gertie for the weekend between Christmas and New Year... and loved it. We got in touch with VW Campervan Hire as we are interested in buying a VW camper ourselves and wanted to "try before you buy"!! The service we received from start to finish was excellent. We arranged to meet them to preview a couple of the vans before we booked. He was very helpful and his knowledge and has been invaluable to us in our quest to buy our own. Gertie was an absolute joy. Extremely well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We certainly got some attention on our travels. We didn't go too far, spending three days in the New Forest. A brilliant experience which we hope to have many more of, maybe in slightly warmer conditions. We are definitely hooked! Roll on the summer :)

We had Ruby for a long weekend at the Goodwood Revival. We had such fun driving it down there, we got lots of waves and looks and at the campsite we had a number of people come and look inside and comment on how well refurbished it was. Ruby looks great from the outside, she was easy to drive, extremely well equipped so what we had to pack was minimal. She was very comfortable to sleep in and with the high rise roof was great for staying overnight in, we had lots of space and is was great to have a fridge and cooker, made a very yummy cooked breakfast one morning. Great use of cubby holes which meant we had lots of place to put stuff. We will definitely be using this company again, hand over was easy and staff incredibly helpful. Website is great and very easy to use!

We have just had a fantastic holiday with Bertie. Website and all contacts/correspondence with VW Camper Hire excellent and everything went to plan. Bertie was superb - really well equipped, beautifully refurbished, a joy to drive and drew admiring glances wherever we went. Spent 2 nights in the New Forest, followed by a night at a great campsite (The Shrubbery) just outside Lyme Regis, followed by 3 nights near Woolacombe Bay (Warcombe Farm - a site that was on the website in the Useful Links section). On the last night of holiday we spent it at Ashurst campsite in the New Forest (just outside Lyndhurst). We would have no hesitation in recommending Vwcamperhire.com to others or returning for a repeat holiday DR

We decided to hire an old style vw camper from VW Camper Hire in Southampton and were delighted with our holiday. The camper was beautifully maintained and reliable which enabled us to have a hassle free enjoyable break in the New Forest. The campervan was described as luxury which I was a bit dubious of given that the van must be over 30 years old but I was impressed by the restoration work carried out to create a true luxury camper. The service was first class from beginning to end with emails and phone calls courteously and promptly answered, free parking for our car and good extras included such bike racks, chairs and awnings. I dont often write reviews but felt i must after our experience of this company! They have three vans and I saw the other two which looked just as good as Ruby which was the van we hired. Keep up the good work vwcamperhire.com and I hope you have a great year!
