Chewie is perfect for a long family trip or just a quick getaway for a couple to a nearby beach or National Park. 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 :)Other things to notePlease 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" 😊

Review summary
Provides clear guidance and support
Anthony is communicative, responsive, and flexible. He gives in-depth guides, "how-to" videos, and thorough explanations, ensuring renters are well-prepared and supported throughout their trip, even supplying essentials.
Drives smoothly despite age
Chewie, a 1985 Volkswagen Westfalia, is well-maintained, clean, and fully equipped. It drives smoothly, handles hills and rain effectively, and offers cozy pop-top sleeping with ample space. Guests noted its smaller gas tank.

5We LOVED our time with Chewie! He had everything we needed, was super cozy, and handled super nice for an older vehicle! We took him to Big Sur and had a blast even in 2 days of rain! Anthony was super helpful and kind, responded promptly to our messages when we needed help with anything! Will be booking again!! 😄

5Chewie was reliable, well maintained, cozy, and stocked with all we needed for our family of three on a short camping trip to Pinnacles National Park. Anthony was super communicative and flexible. We’re looking forward to another adventure with Chewie!

5We have rented a lot of vans to adventure out west and this was by far our favorite experience to date. Anthony gave an indepth guide to all the features of the van prior to departure. As it is an older van, it does have a smaller gas tank as to be expected so plan gas stop accordingly. We camped with our infant and had space for a bassinet. Even with lows in the 40s the van was warm without an additional heat source with just sleeping bags. The head space with the pop up and additional bed were awesome as we had some rain and were able to have additional space to stay out of the elements. Plus Chewie is just such an awesome fan and experience if you never experienced a VW camper van.

5Anthony was a great host, the car met and exceeded our expectations, communication was also fast and great, it was a great experience all in all! It was our first time renting over Outdoorsy, and if we should do it again, we would for sure choose again Anthony and his Chewie!
