As soon as you drive out of the street, you are on vacation.
People stop, take photos, and give a thumbs up.
Always the best spot at the campsite and no shortage of company.

With our Citroën HY, every trip becomes a feel-good journey with endless character and positive reactions.

The HY came onto the market shortly after the war when traffic was much quieter.
Back then that was normal, now it's called slowing down.
But who is in a...

Good to know:

The bed is a transverse sleeper, 135cm wide and 185cm long, and more than enough for 2 people. Tall people (us - 1.92m) sleep lengthwise. Then there is still room for a child.
We have been traveling by bus with 5 people for years, and it works perfectly fine. Then 2 sleeping places inside, and the children in a small tent next to the bus.

The kitchenette is well-equipped and has 2 pantry cupboards. There is also a separate gas/electric cool box. Additionally, you can enjoy cooking outdoors on a portable gas stove.

Bicycles are not allowed on the bus. Some bike racks do not fit due to the spare wheel. If you wish to bring bicycles, please consult us first.
The bus's tow bar is not suitable for trailers, (folding) caravans, etc. (in terms of towing capacity).

The bus complies with all regulations regarding seatbelt requirements for 8 people. These differ for classic vehicles. The bus has seatbelts in the front, so a child seat can be installed there. You may also sit on the (longitudinal) benches in the back while the bus is moving.

Pick up on the first rental day from 16:00. Return on the last day before 12:00.
The cost for picking up earlier or returning later is 0.5 days' rent.

Insurance, emergency assistance, and classic car status impose restrictions.
The most important ones are:
-During short rental periods, you stay in the Netherlands. For periods longer than a week, the Benelux is possible (in consultation, due to insurance). For periods longer than 2 weeks, Northern France is possible.
-Smoking is much nicer outside. So not on the bus.
-Only the 1st (= renter) and a 2nd driver are allowed to drive. Both must be at least 24 years old and have held a B driving license for 3 years, and state this on the rental form upon pickup.
-You are not allowed to drive into parking garages (due to height and turning circle)
-The bus is fully insured with roadside assistance and transport home. Deductible €750.

-You may only refuel with Superplus 98 (E5). The engine cannot tolerate the added ethanol.

What an adventure hitting the road with this bus! A real gem, and it was great to see how Geert thought of everything and made almost everything himself! We received many nice comments from people along the way and slept wonderfully in it ourselves! It was a really fun week thanks to this camper, and I would highly recommend trying it yourself! We will be back! August 2026

The transfer was extensive but good. I went to Camping Mariahoeve in Papenvoort for a few days. You're in the middle of a beautiful autumnal forest, and I could watch the squirrels through one of the many windows. The camper is well-equipped and drives well. On the way back, I avoided all highways. It took me two days, but I also saw some really nice parts of the Netherlands. And lots of roundabouts 💪🏼 October 2025

We were away for nine days with this campervan, and what a fantastic experience we had. Geert (the owner) really helped us get started, showing us how to best drive the van; he was patient with us. After that, the adventure began; what a joy every day. People were waving, honking, shouting, giving thumbs up, giving way on small roads, which doesn't normally happen, and people were turning their heads in a hernia position. We stayed in the Netherlands and mainly stayed at small campsites, four of which fit well into our nine-day stay. Good and friendly campsites, and thanks in part to our campervan, we had plenty of attention. On the last few days, we had a small problem with the campervan; we contacted Geert, who came by the next day to fix it. All credit to Geert. Thanks in part to this, we were able to finish our trip where we started. All praise to Geert and his beautiful campervan, we enjoyed it immensely. And we would definitely book him again. I would say book this campervan. greetings Jolande and Geco July 2025

Really nice cute van. It feels like driving a toy. We loved it. Driving is easy after only a minute. You have all the confort you need inside with the bed, space to stand, kitchen, water. And what we love the most is the smile of the people when seeing it. May 2025

There were two of us and we rented the Citroen from Friday to Sunday. After a short briefing, we drove towards The Hague at a very leisurely pace. After about an hour, we reached our campsite. From there, we explored all the activities by bike. The HY was used for sitting and sleeping until Sunday. Which is perfectly sufficient for two adults. We didn't lack anything. The most fun was the ride on the HY and it put a permanent grin on our faces. However, you have to be aware that the Citroen was built in 1977 and at that time there was no air conditioning, brake booster or power steering in such a vehicle. The owner Geert was very nice and competent. We would do it again anytime. August 2024
