Sandy

Sandy is your new best friend: whether you're a family or a couple, if you love the great outdoors, you'll love this young and sprightly Volkswagen Transporter.

Skillfully converted with beautifully handcrafted solid pine units and a gorgeous oak floor, she is packed from the floor to her high-top with functionality.

That includes 5 belted seats, a rock ‘n’ roll double bed and a neatly designed foldaway bed in the roof with space for a third adult or couple of children.

The twin front passenger seat can swivel round to face backward for when you are parked up and she’s got a gas hob, sink, fridge, table and plenty of storage.

Her powerful, responsive engine will take you to your destination swiftly and smoothly. But the best bit? She comes ready kitted out with everything you’ll need to just pull up, open the doors and run into the sea or onto the hills. Your next adventure is waiting for you!

*NOTE: These items are flexible but the campervan owner will need to refer the driver's details to the insurer and may require some additional information. 

International Drivers from most countries can be covered but the excess is likely to be higher. USA, CA, NZ or AU have always been a yes and often with the standard excess.

There is an excess of between £500 and £1000 in the event of any damage to the vehicle. This amount is set by the insurer and is dependant on driver age, convictions, claims and country of issue (for a UK driver with a clean license it will be £500).

European Travel

Yes you can take Sandy across the water but there will be an additional charge to cover EU insurance and EU breakdown. This will vary but we expect it to be around £70 per week.
