We rented Theo's Volkswagen van to spend a weekend at the campsite for a wedding. The van was perfectly suited for the two of us to sleep in. We had plenty of room left for luggage and changing clothes. The look of this van matched the atmosphere of the wedding perfectly. Thanks to this van, we absolutely had a fantastic weekend. We had planned our route (from Ede to the Achterhoek) via local 60 and 80 km/h roads. Given that the bus is less pleasant to drive above 90 km/h, I advise other renters to use the "avoid highways" option in their navigation. Driving on back roads is a pleasure with this bus. You attract a lot of attention from other road users. Do keep in mind that it is "work" for the driver. There is no power steering, and you sometimes really have to search for the gear positions with the long lever. Due to the old carbureted engine, you must fill up with the more expensive Euro98 E5 petrol; E10 is not suitable. Because the fuel gauge is not very accurate, you have to keep track of the kilometers traveled yourself to refuel on time (around 250 km). Fortunately, the bus's fuel consumption is not too bad, and it is actually quite economical. All of this is part of the charm of a 50-year-old van. All those quirks make up part of the charm. If you want maximum comfort, don't choose such an old van, but if you want to fully enjoy a unique experience, then Theo's van is highly recommended! Theo was considerate regarding the pick-up and return times. The rental and communication went very smoothly. June 2026
