Reviews of Classic Campers - VW Kombis
S.Cannot recommend enough. We had van 8 a 1969 Tintop. We called him Vinnie or Vincent! A handsome chap! a lot of fun to drive, cruised at a good speed (and going faster you'd miss stuff!). Children and adults waved as we passed, countless fun chats with people everywhere we went, who said they wished they'd done it. Vinnie made our trip extra special. So glad we didn't go for a big white van like everyone else, or the small and ugly Juicy ones we saw everywhere.
Seems the couple of bad experience reviews below must be significantly down to the renters! I spoke with Bevan several times on phone before booking, pick up and during our trip. He was very helpful, accomodating and to happy to talk through things I couldn't work out. Helps to have some basic car/mechanical knowledge just in case but our 2 weeks went without a hitch. Van was in great condition for 50 yrs old!
The CD & bluetooth player was a great addition and fridge but otherwise it was a brilliant back in time experience. The NZ campsites are so good, all the other folk we met said the didn't use a lot of the mod cons/feaqtures of their big modern vans. NZ campsites are very good.
N.My wife and I drove a T4 Transporter Camper van from Christchurch to Auckland. This was a really enjoyable and cost-effective trip and the van didn't miss a beat.
We had a great experience dealing with Bevan and he was always willing to help in whatever way possible.
Being a family owned and operated business, Classic Campers provide a true and authentic Kiwi experience that is second to none. I highly recommend them if you want to do a NZ roadie in well equipped, clean, safe and maintained vehicles at a competitive price.
N.Classic Campers provided us with an amazing experience during our time in New Zealand. Bevan was super helpful, easy to communicate with and worked to help us make the dream of road tripping in a kombi, a true one! From emailing months before, to meeting Bevan and then returning the car, the whole experience was easy. We had a last minute change in our schedule, and Bevan worked to accommodate us, which was great!
The car is beautiful and runs perfectly. On the first day, Bevan spent some time with us reviewing everything, gave us some advice, and off we went. New Zealand is an amazing experience, an awesome place to explore and doing so in a 72 VW camper van made the whole thing even more dream like. We highly recommend!
M.We hired Van 7 just last month (the very same red/white 1972 one that Jane Logan complained about in her review) and we couldn't have been happier! We met Bevan just North of Auckland to collect it and he walked us through everything we needed to know. It came equipped with all that we required to eat and sleep and also had some good maps. As it is a vintage vehicle, we took it easy on the highways with regard to speed but that was the whole point of our trip - to relax and take it slow. We explored many fantastic beaches, small towns and great camp grounds. We prepared lots of delicious meals and had very comfortable sleeps. We made it all the way up to Cape Reinga and back again without a single problem or hiccup. Everywhere we went people wanted to know about the van and shared their personal stories of this iconic camper. It made people smile and wave like we've never experienced before! It was the best 2 week holiday we could ask for and super memorable. Highly recommend as it was the most excellent way to see New Zealand. We completely agree with the sentiments Scott Graham expressed in his review about the unique quality of Bevan's vehicles and are so happy he is able to share these fantastic gems with the world. We can't wait to plan our next getaway and rent another Classic Camper from Bevan! Thanks again for everything!
Cheers,
Mark & Jen
d.Did not have an actual rental experience, but Bevan was very helpful finding solutions when our initially booked van (other company) was cancelled only 3 days prior to the rental start. Bevan was happy to welcome us to view the van before the rental and even made us a very competitive offer regarding pricing. In the end the initial rental company offered us a proper alternative, otherwise for sure we would have rented Bevan's VW T4.
S.We rented the 1996 VW T4 Winnebago for our NZ "Baby Moon" holiday. The van was not very clean and needed attention to small details inside to make the van more acceptable. An old van is fine - as long as its limitations are communicated & is clean. Our van had no working air con (30+ each day when we were there). It was not suitable at all to take up steep hills so that was disappointing. Being pregnant it was important to us that the van was clean, self contained and had air con.
Due to this not great experience I wouldn't rent this van again, however Bevan has communicated with me regarding my concerns and agreed to a partial refund for items raised and to ensure a fair outcome. Thanks.
S.Bevan runs an excellent VW camper outfit. He is very professional and the quality of our vehicle was perfect. We rented the orange 80s westfalia vanagon. It was an overall excellent experience and I would highly recommend Bevan and his campers to my friends and family any day. I have owned three VW westy vans in my life and can attest to the high quality of the mechanical and interior work on the camper we rented from Bevan.
What is regrettable about some of the reviews I have read about Bevan's outfit is that the reviewers seem to be misguided in their assessments of the vehicles and how to properly enjoy them. Renting or owning a VW camper is a unique privilege and not everyone who engages this type of experience will respect and appreciate it. Bevan is providing a special opportunity to travellers and I want to express a public thank you to Bevan and provide an unreserved endorsement of his high quality service and unique rental product - way to go Bevan! Keep the wheels rolling :-)
For anyone wanting a rental vehicle for an iconic camping experience in NZ, no need to search any further.
J.We rented the VW Winnebago and had a awesome time driving it around the Cormandal of New Zealand! The van was really well suited for the 4 of us friends exploring... cruising around, hanging out, and cooking up a feed. We liked the dinnete layout as it gave us a place to chill, roomy upper bed, and the homely feeling of the wooden interior. Also LOVED fact we could park in most normal parking spots as not too large! We found ourselves parked in the centre of town on numerous occasions without a worry at all. It sure beats saying in a stationary motel etc as everything you need is right there. Bevan and his wife were very friendly and explained well how everything works, the van ran well and easier to drive than expected. I have now been converted to motorhomes as the perfect holiday! Can't wait to do it again. Thanks and see you next time!
T.Had a great time in the Hightop van. Plenty of space for the kids. All amenities supplied. Thanks Bevan Beattie, you were a fantastic host.
A.Bevan has been wonderful to deal with and couldn’t get a more honest and straight up guy if we tried. Fantastic and reliable service, would highly recommend Classic Campers.
J.Have enjoyed our trips with Classic Campers.
M.Fantastic, very happy.
