London Campers was founded in 2009 to share with you a little piece of the huge joy VW campervans have brought us! Campervans are our passion – so you’re supporting a real, enthusiast-run business with a deep knowledge of our products and a genuine desire that you love campervans as much as we do!

There are many reasons! Here are just a few:

  • Above all, we have great vans at great prices – and something to suit almost all needs and pockets!!
  • Our vehicles are hand picked, each custom designed and loved like members of our family – we’re not just taking whatever the main dealer has, punting it out for the season and then offloading when the weather turns!
  • We don’t just rent campers, we build them, restore them, buy and sell them, and maintain many for lots of loyal customers too! As such, we know each van intimately and can get the details right!
  • We are professionals with 16 years hire experience under our belts – but we are also seasoned campervanners with lots of knowledge and experience to pass on, should you need it.
  • We offer first rate customer service and will be on hand from the moment you book and throughout your trip to help you get the most from it!
  • You’ll be supporting a business started and run by real campervan enthusiasts: we’re not just here today, gone tomorrow opportunists cashing in the van life craze. We love campervans and want you to love them too!
  • We offer delivery (and always have done – support the innovators, not the imitators!)

We began life importing and renting out the humble but brilliant VW T25* variant – specifically the Westfalia campervan models. Whilst these offer a great balance between classic looks and modern practicality, over the years, as they have aged and technology has moved on, we’ve learnt that they aren’t for everyone. A decade ago we started moving toward more modern, refined and dependable modern VW camper vans – first as an alternative option, but then increasingly as the main offer. We still love T25s and offer some for retro hire, but the modern VW transporter campers, based on the T5, T5.1 and T6 are frankly is light years ahead in terms of ease of driving and reliability – definitely a much better option for the average customer.

Our own adventures have taken us all over Europe in VW campers, both modern and retro. We camp in them all year round, on grid and off and still find the same excitement in a van trip that we did the very first time we hit the road!

* T3 as die-hard fans insist it should be called

To provide friendly, affordable VW camper van hire, but to do so without asking you to compromise on quality.

To deliver on this pledge, we:

Give you the best vans at the lowest, and most transparent prices.

  • Promise to match any quote for comparable camper hire.
  • Offer unrivalled attention to detail: enjoyable camping is all about having the right kit so you will not find better specced, more comprehensively equipped, vans.
  • Maintain our vans diligently and to high mechanical standards to make sure they are steadfastly reliable – but also offer full EU breakdown cover (with replacement car and hotel), in the very unlikely event you do have problems.
  • Deliver unrivalled customer service – and on the rare occasion things go wrong, deal with it straightforwardly and treat you fairly
  • We are based in Streatham, South London. To make things even easier, we also deliver and collect within London and further afield (including all London’s airports) by prior arrangement and for an agreed fee.

 

We will be on hand throughout your hire to help with any questions or issues you have. A full demonstration of how everything works will be provided on or before collection and, as seasoned campervan-ers who have been roadtripping in VW vans for 20 odd years, we can also offer a wealth of experience on where to go and what to pack! So you will be in very good hands!
