Why hire our camper van?
Driving Bonnie is a fun and unique experience that will transport you back to the '70s when life was slower and if you wanted to look up a fact you used an encyclopaedia rather than the Internet!
With this in mind, driving Bonnie is not like a modern car with her old fashioned charm and quirks but she’s a fun ride that will leave a smile on your face. With a full size rock and roll double bed and room for two more in the roof along with a handy wardrobe and several storage areas for all your holiday goods.
