Vehicle features

Driving

The layout of our rental Volkswagen California vans, thanks to its richness, quality of craftsmanship, and cleverness, makes it a real little rolling home… as easy to drive as a car (and no extra toll charges thanks to its height under 2 meters).

Designed to accommodate up to 4 people, the Volkswagen California is the ideal compromise for your comfort, your budget… and your image! Dare to turn heads as you pass by, enjoying a vacation aboard this legendary vehicle.

Sleeping

In just seconds, transform your Volkswagen California camper van into a hotel room for 4 people!

In less than 3 seconds, the bench seat of your Volkswagen California unfolds into a flat bed, particularly suitable for children (bed size 110x200cm).

If you’re traveling with a young child, they can even sleep in the rear area behind the bench: a fully secure space of 110x80cm with a mattress.

Wider (125x200cm), the upper bed features slats, is very comfortable, and perfect for parents!

Provided insulating curtains let you block out all windows and protect yourself from cold, heat, humidity, and light.

With the bedding option (also includes towels), everything is provided: don’t worry about a thing! (fitted sheet, duvets, duvet covers, pillows, pillowcases).

Kitchen

A real equipped kitchen with sink, 2 gas burners, and a fridge allows you to cook very comfortably inside, in any season.

The fridge capacity (42L), the water reserves (35L fresh water + 35L wastewater), and the gas bottle offer the autonomy needed for several days of total independence.

Ample storage space in the kitchen unit allows you to store dishes (provided) and food for several days.

A clever fold-out table lets you dine inside if the weather turns bad.

As an option, the gas cartridge barbecue, delivered with all the cartridges needed for the entire stay, lets you cook outdoors in good weather. It’s perfect for grilling meat and fish, even where traditional barbecues are prohibited…

Shower & Toilet

All our vans and mini-caravans are fitted out by professionals. Everything is planned and optimized, every square centimeter of space is used.

To rinse off after the beach or a sporty moment, all our vans and mini-caravans come with a shower hose. A hot shower is possible thanks to our optional portable shower (pressurized hot water tank). The tailgate tent (optional, vans only) allows you to create a shower cabin in seconds.

In addition, all our vans and mini-caravans feature 12V sockets, LED lighting, and multiple smart storage spaces for all your belongings.

Electricity & Heating

All our vans and mini-caravans are equipped with fresh water tanks, ranging from 20 to 60L depending on the model. Some include wastewater collection, which should be regularly emptied in designated areas.

All vans and mini-caravans include 12V sockets (cigarette lighter or USB format), especially for charging your phones.

Need to plug in 230V devices? Our California camper vans are equipped for this. For other models, a 230V converter is available as an option.

All our vans and mini-caravans have one or more auxiliary batteries allowing you to be self-sufficient for 2–3 days (fridge, lighting, water pump). Driving regularly? These batteries recharge automatically. Staying in place for several days? Plug your van or mini-caravan into a power outlet with the provided cable to recharge the batteries.

Since a good warm night is essential after a day of exploration, our California vans are equipped with stationary heaters that can run all night, fully autonomously. No smell, low noise, and completely safe! These systems work with the engine off and use diesel from the fuel tank—no need to deal with gas reserves or power hookups. You’re totally independent!

On our California Origin models, a supplemental heater is provided free of charge and can be plugged into a 230V outlet. You’ll need to connect the van to the mains!

Wonderful experience renting with Van-Away Toulouse from August 17 to 29. A very warm welcome, the van was in excellent condition and almost new (less than a year old). Clear and detailed explanations about how everything works. I highly recommend without hesitation.
