We recently rented a VW California Beach Space from Vanbaltic and spent 10 unforgettable days exploring Latvia and Estonia during the second half of July. It was our first campervan trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, everything was straightforward. Before departure, we received a detailed introduction of about an hour, during which the team explained all the van's features and answered every question we had. While it takes a little practice to remember everything, the camper is very intuitive to use, and after the first day everything felt completely natural. The van itself was excellent. It was comfortable, drove smoothly both on paved roads and gravel roads, and was equipped with everything we needed. Over the course of our 1,600 km journey, we didn't experience a single issue. Driving was enjoyable, and the compact size of the California made it easy to handle, even in smaller towns and on forest roads or on the ferry. We also booked a few extras, including the biological toilet and the small kitchen upgrade. The toilet turned out to be a nice backup option, although we did not need it because we found plenty of clean dry toilets throughout Latvia and Estonia. The kitchen upgrade, on the other hand, was absolutely worth it. The built-in stove works perfectly for everyday cooking, but having a second portable gas cooker made preparing more elaborate meals much easier. The sleeping arrangement was another highlight. The upper pop-up sleeping area is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Thanks to the large windows, you get plenty of fresh air, and every opening is fitted with mosquito nets, allowing you to sleep peacefully even during warm summer nights. The camper is also very practical for longer trips. The two freshwater containers easily last several days if used sensibly, and there is plenty of clever storage space for clothes, food, and camping equipment. We often spent several days away from larger towns and still had everything we needed to live comfortably. We had to go on an official campsite just once. All the other nights we spent at the many wild camping areas right at the sea or in the middle of a forest. It is very easy in to find gorgeous spots via the application park4night.  RMK is another great alternative provided by the Estonian forest management center. Most spaces are easy to find and settle in, have a clean dry toilet and a fireplace. What really made the experience exceptional, however, was the customer service. The Vanbaltic team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They have extensive personal experience traveling with their own campervans during the off-season, so their recommendations are based on real experience rather than tourist brochures. We highly recommend sharing your rough travel plans with them before your trip—they suggested several beautiful places that became some of our favorite stops. Overall, renting from Vanbaltic was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The camper was reliable, comfortable, and easy to use, while the excellent customer service made us feel confident before, throughout and after our journey. We would happily rent from them again and can wholeheartedly recommend Vanbaltic to anyone planning a road trip through the Baltics. It was an unforgettable adventure, and we hope many others get to enjoy the same experience.

We had an amazing trip with VanBaltic’s van last week. Armands the owner, will welcome you and show you everything you need to know in order to have the best time with his vans. He is always available if you have any issues or questions. Another good point is that pick up/drop off location is 10 min ride from the airport and this really makes it for a stress free experience. This was my first time with this kind of vehicle and wasn’t disappointed. You literally have everything you need on board so you can cook & chill with no issues, sleeping was also comfortable. Visiting Latvia with such vehicle is the way to go as there are so many cool camping sites/location. Absolutely recommended! Thanks again Armands!

I spent 17 nights traveling solo through the Baltic States in a VW California Beach. What an amazing experience. The camper had plenty of storage space, and the small kitchen made cooking a breeze. Communication, pickup, and drop-off were easy and hassle-free. If you're looking for a camper rental for your trip to the Baltics, this is the place!

If you ever want to explore the Baltic's by van, this is the place to go. Outstanding services and always helpful  to you get the perfect trip. I would recommend to everyone! I went on a 18 days trip around the Baltic's, and I have never traveled by camper before. But it is not my last time. And if I ever come back I’m coming to VanBaltic.

J’ai sillonné seule la Lettonie et l’Estonie durant 17 jours, c’était magnifique. Beaucoup de possibilités pour passer les nuits soit dans des beaux camping, soit en zones forestières. Le van avec la cuisine intégrée est top:2 gaz, un évier, un grand frigo, beaucoup d’espace de rangements, table et 2 chaises pliables, 4 places pour dormir et facile à conduire. Armands, très gentil explique bien les subtilités du véhicule et m’a donné des conseils de voyage et d’itinéraires. Communication par WhatsApp avec lui durant le voyage afin que tout se passe bien. À refaire absolument !
