Vehicle features

Driving

The layout of our rental Volkswagen California vans, due to its richness, quality of construction, and ingenuity, makes it a real little rolling house… driving as easily as a car (and without paying more at toll booths thanks to its height of less than 2 meters).

Sleeping

Transform your Volkswagen California converted van into a hotel room for 4 people in just a few seconds!

In less than 3 seconds, the bench in your Volkswagen California van unfolds to form a flat sleeping area, particularly suitable for your children (110x200cm bed).

If you’re traveling with a young child, you can even put them to sleep in the rear space, behind the bench: a completely secure space of 110x80cm, with a mattress.
Wider (125x200cm), the mezzanine bed has slats, is very comfortable, and perfect for parents!

The provided insulating curtains allow you to cover all windows and protect yourself from cold, heat, humidity, and light.

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

Kitchen

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

The capacity of the fridge (42L), water tanks (35L of clean water + 35L of wastewater), and the gas bottle offer you the necessary autonomy to be completely independent for several days.

The significant storage spaces in the kitchen unit will allow you to store the provided dishes and your food for several days.

A clever folding table allows you to have your meals inside if the weather is unpredictable.

As an option, the gas cartridge barbecue, delivered with all the necessary gas cartridges for the entire stay, offers you the possibility to cook outside on nice days. It is the companion for your meat and fish grills, even where traditional barbecues are prohibited…

Shower & Toilet

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

To rinse off when returning from the beach or after sporting activities, all our vans and mini caravans are equipped with a shower. A hot shower is possible thanks to our portable shower option (pressurization of a hot water reserve). Our vans benefit from an oversized water reserve. The tailgate tent (optional, vans only) will create a shower cabin in just a few seconds. In addition, find on all our vans and mini caravans 12V sockets, LED lighting, and multiple well-designed storage spaces for all your belongings.

Electricity & Heating

All our vans and mini caravans are equipped with clean water reserves, ranging from 20 to 60L depending on the models. Some offer wastewater collection, to be emptied regularly in the designated locations.

In addition, find on all our vans and mini caravans 12V sockets in cigarette lighter or USB format, particularly for recharging your phones.

Do you need to plug in devices on 230V? Our converted vans are equipped with them. For other ranges, you can equip yourself with a 230V converter (offered as an option).

All our vans and mini caravans are equipped with one or more auxiliary batteries allowing you to be autonomous for 2-3 days (operation of fridge, lights, water pump). Do you drive regularly? These batteries recharge automatically. Are you staying several days without driving? Connect your van or mini caravan to the mains with the provided cable to recharge your batteries.

Because a good night’s sleep in the warmth is essential after a day of exploration, our vans are equipped with stationary heaters that can operate all night, in complete autonomy. No odor, low noise, and total safety! These systems work with the engine off and use diesel from the tank: no need to bother with gas reserves, or to connect to an electricity network. You are completely independent!
On our models, an auxiliary heater is provided free of charge, to be plugged into the 230V socket. You will 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.
