Yes. The minimum rental period is three nights in all seasons, providing you with maximum flexibility.

Yes, you definitely can bring your dog with you. If you don’t want to leave your faithful four-legged friend at home, you are welcome to take your small or midsize, well behaved dog with you on your trip. Why small or midsize? Sure, everyone has their own capacity, but for the sake of your well being, we don’t think it’s a good idea to travel with two labradors for an extended period of time in just 4M2, don’t you agree? Since we have to have the vehicle specially cleaned afterwards, we charge a one time fee, called a dog’s fee,” which is 79 euros. Simply add a dog’s fee in the section “Services” during your online booking. If the dog’s fee is not booked before a trip and we notice or trace unauthorized transportation of pets of any kind, it will be a violation of our terms and conditions; thus, a penalty in the amount of 500 EUR might be applied.

Our fleet consists of brand new, one- or two-year Volkswagen California models with a full factory warranty, and Volkswagen Roadside Assistance is available 24/7 throughout Europe.

We offer VW California Beach and Ocean models in various trim levels and specifications, featuring fuel-efficient 150 and 199 horsepower diesel engines. With all our vehicles equipped with 4×4, you’ll be ready for any terrain or challenge on your trip. The best part? You can conveniently upgrade your California online to suit your budget and travel plans. We also provide a wide range of optional rental accessories to enhance your comfort and enjoyment.

We completely understand that you would like the opportunity to view our offered vans in person before deciding to rent. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this option, as our fleet operates on a very tight schedule, spending most of the time either on the road or undergoing routine maintenance. Nevertheless, please feel free to request this option. If a vehicle is available, we would be happy to show it to you by appointment at a mutually convenient time.

To help you choose the most suitable model, comprehensive information about each of our models, including user manuals and review videos, is available on our website, VanBaltic.com. We also recommend watching our informative videos on our YouTube channel. All of this will give you a much clearer idea of the capabilities, capacity, and additional features of our vehicles, helping you decide which might best suit your needs.

If you still have questions or are unsure about your choice, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll gladly assist you in making the right choice.

No. Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes or vapes, inside the vehicle is strictly forbidden. If you break this rule, we will have to charge you a 500 EUR fine to cover the cost of special cleaning and vehicle depreciation.

You are responsible for the diesel fuel required for your trip. The vehicle will be provided to you with a full tank, and we ask that you return it with a full tank as well. If, for any reason, you’re unable to do so, don’t worry—we can take care of it for a reasonable fee as outlined in our terms and conditions.

As for AdBlue, we’ve got you covered! Just remember to refill the AdBlue tank when a warning signal appears on the dashboard. Please retain the receipt or invoice, which should be issued to VanBaltic’s account, and we’ll reimburse you for the expense if it does not exceed 20 EUR. The AdBlue tank has a capacity of approximately 13 liters, which should last for about 10,000 kilometers.

Yes, at the end of each low season (October/November), our beloved and well cared Californias can be purchased at very competitive prices. We recommend contacting us as early as possible if you are interested in buying one. We also provide a “Try Before You Buy” option.

Of course. All our campers are equipped with ISOFIX. You can bring your own child’s seat with you or rent one from us, whichever option suits you best. 

We are open from 8 a.m. to 17:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or call +371-27006162. Visits and meetings at the station are only by prior appointment.

They do look similar from the outside, that’s true. However, they have a few very distinct differences. First, the Ocean models are more luxurious and better equipped than the Beach. The Beach, on the other hand, has more passenger space and greater transformability. The Ocean model has significantly more “bells and whistles,” for example, an electric pop-up roof opening, while the Beach model has a manual hydrolic one. On the other hand, the Beach has five passenger seats to the Ocean’s four. More information on each vehicle and its features can be found on our website or YouTube channel. We recommend that you watch our tutorial videos on the VanBaltic YouTube channel. If you still have any questions or need more information, just send us an email at [email protected], and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

The maximum seating capacity is 4 passengers in Ocean models and 5 passengers in Beach models. While both models are ideally suited for couples and solo travelers, 3 or 4 adults can also comfortably sleep in either the Ocean or Beach models. Additionally, the Beach model can even accommodate a family with 3 small children.

If you’re a couple, a solo traveler, or a family with one child, we recommend choosing the Ocean model – the “Gold Standard” camper van. On the other hand, if you’re a group of four adults or a family with two or three children, the Beach model might be your best choice.

Of course, there’s no issue if you decide to use the maximum capacity and bring along a dog and four bicycles. However, before doing so, we strongly advise carefully considering the limited space and ensuring that the maximum permitted load capacity is not exceeded. This capacity is approximately 400 kg for the Ocean model and 500 kg for the Beach model. This weight limit includes all passengers, luggage, water tanks, and any additional equipment

Yes, it does. All our California models come with a factory-installed diesel heating system, which is operated from the control panel inside the vehicle. This is a very efficient and cost-saving heating solution compared to the gas heating systems that other bigger campers have. We can assure you, if you are well prepared, you will feel cozy even at -20 outside. Before handover, you will be given a full demonstration of how the heating system works, or you can watch it on our YouTube channel at any time.

It depends on many factors, but you will be absolutely fine to go off-grid or wild camping for 3–4 nights or more. Beach models come with one leisure battery, and Ocean models even come with two, providing you with enough power for all your essentials and gadgets whether you’re driving or camping. The most important thing and the biggest advantage of our VW campervans is that their heating systems run on the same diesel oil as their engines. Since the diesel oil tank capacity is a whopping 80 liters and diesel consumption by the factory-built-in heating systems is extremely low, you can go completely off-grid for a very long time. Besides diesel, the heating systems require a small amount of electricity to run a fuel pump; hence, after a day or two, you shall check the battery charge level. If the battery is low, you can plug it into an external source, make a short trip, or simply run the car’s engine for 20–30 minutes in combination with turbocharge to get your battery full again.

Yes, both models are equipped with one bottle of butane gas, which is exclusively used for cooking on gas hobs inside a van. Ocean has Campingaz 2.75kg of gas bottles, while Beach has 1.8kg. With regular usage and consumption, assuming that you will be cooking or grilling outside too, one bottle can easily last well up to a month or more in the case of Ocean and a bit less for Beach. Anyway, if you run out of gas, it’s no problem; you shall be able to find Campingaz gas bottle exchange points all over Europe. To make sure you are not caught by surprise by an empty bottle, we strongly recommend taking with you your own or renting from us a portable gas stove or grill, which will be super handy to use for outdoor picnics whenever the weather permits.

Inside the van, there are two 220 volt outlets. One is a 300-watt inverter socket that can be used for household electronics like charging a phone or PC at any time because it runs on a leisure battery. If you need more power, you can use another 220 volt socket, but only while you are stationary and connected to the campsite or any other electrical system by a cable that is part of the camping equipment list provided by VanBaltic.

All Ocean models come with permanent built-in fresh water and gray water systems that hold about 30 liters each. The Beach models don’t have a permanent water system built in, unless you add optional kitchen modules (Big or Small) under “extra services” in our booking system. The Big Kitchen module, which has two 12-liter fresh water tanks and 12-liter gray water tanks, is a great choice. If cooking is not your priority, you can opt for a compact kitchen module Small Kitchen that has 12 liters of fresh and gray water tanks. The best part is that all Ocean and Beach water systems can be used as outside showers by attaching the included hose and faucet. Unfortunately, none of the campervans have hot water systems.
