Wakefield Campervan Hire is family owned and run. In the driver’s seat are husband-and-wife duo Dawn and Mark who have owned campers and motorhomes throughout the years and try to spend as much time as they can travelling.
We love to share our passion with our customers, the excitement of a journey, the thrill of the adventure, and we enjoy hearing about all of the epic stories that follow once our campers are returned.
Where did it all start?
Campervanning began for us when we felt guilty about leaving our little Shiz-tu George with friends and family while we went on holiday abroad. We missed him terribly while he was away and wished we could take him on holiday with us. He enjoys walking and being a rescue dog, to our knowledge had never been to the beach. So, in September 2019, Mark decided to convert an old LDV passenger ambulance so that we could take little George to the coast for the weekend. The van was converted and ready to go by November, and we embarked on our first adventure. To say George enjoyed the beach would be an understatement; he enjoyed the open space and running around and the adventure was great fun for everyone. This is where our love of campervans and exploring new places began; we caught the bug, and not long after, Wakefield Campervan Hire was born.
Why rent a VW camper?
Everybody loves a VW camper van and the sense of freedom it conjures – playfulness, holidays, the great outdoors, living closer to nature, barbequing, star gazing, attending festivals, holidays with your favourite pet, reaching the remotest destinations …. The list goes on. There is nothing cooler than a VW campervan, a pop culture icon, a rolling symbol of independence and freedom and there is no better way to express your outlook on life.
Many of our customers hire our campers as a way to ‘try before they buy’. Even if a camper doesn’t quite deliver the dream, customers have had an amazing holiday experience and may have avoided an expensive mistake by purchasing one only to discover later that it’s not for them.
