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 are offering VW California Beach and Ocean models in different trim levels and specifications. Our models have very fuel-efficient 150 and 204 horsepower engines. Because all our vehicles are 4×4, you are well prepared for any challenge or terrain you may face during your trip. The best part is that you can conveniently upgrade your California online in a way that suits your budget and travel plans the best. We have a large selection of optional rental accessories that will make your journey much more enjoyable and comfortable.

We totally understand that you would like to see the campers in person before you decide to rent them, but unfortunately, this is not possible. We simply cannot guarantee you such an option as our fleet runs on a very tight schedule and spends most of its time on the road. That being said, please feel free to ask for this opinion. If we have one on site, we will be more than happy to show it to you by appointment. To help you decide which model suits you best, we have very extensive information about each of our models on the VanBaltic.com website. We also recommend that you watch our videos on our YouTube channel. This should give you a good idea of how our vehicles are operated, how much space they have, and which optional equipment may suit you the best. If you are still unsure or have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with us. We will be more than happy to help you make a 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 have to pay for the necessary diesel fuel for your trip yourself. The vehicle will be handed over to you with a full tank, and we expect you to return the vehicle back to us with a full diesel tank too. If, for any reason, you cannot arrange it, don’t worry; we will do it for you for a reasonable fee according to our terms and conditions. AdBlue is on us. No worries. Please fill up the tank when a warning signal appears on the dashboard. Please keep the receipt or invoice that has to be issued to VanBaltic’s account, and we will refund you the expense if it does not exceed 20 EUR. AdBlue tank capacity is about 13 liters, which should be enough for about a 10,000-kilometer trip.

100%. A family holiday with VanBaltic vans is the perfect way to make memories that will last forever for a whole family, not just for the little ones but also for the big ones too. VW California Ocean can accommodate families of up to four people, and VW California Beach can accommodate even up to five persons (two adults and three children). Onboard kitchens are fully equipped with all the essentials, allowing you to enjoy the most delicious family meals whenever and wherever you want. Our comfy and ready-in-no time sleeping systems will make sure the whole family has a good rest and is fully recharged for another day full of VanBaltic adventures. It can’t get any better.

length: 4904 mm

Please note that the vehicle may be longer due to mounted bicycle racks or a tow hitch. If you book a ferry or similar trip in advance, for a peace of mind, please always state a vehicle length of 6 meters.”

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. If you later purchase a campervan from us, we may partially refund your test trip expenses. What are you waiting for? Get in touch and let’s make your dream of owning California real.

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 know that space matters big time, especially when camping with the kids and staff, so this is why we recommend renting from us a super space-saving, unique, and cleverly foldable Hifold or Mifold child seat and boosters. You will be amazed at how little space they take up when folded.

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. Meetings at the station are only by prior appointment.

Absolutly. The longer you rent, the cheaper the rental price gets. If your booking is for more than 7 nights, you get a 5% discount on the daily rental rate. For all bookings longer than 14 nights, we apply a 10% discount. Bookings of more than 21 days receive a 15% discount.The best part is that you do not have to do anything to get these discounts. All mentioned long-term discounts are automatically applied to your booking and can be combined with other discount codes, vouchers, or coupons.

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.

Maximum driving capacity is 4 people in the Ocean models and 5 people in the Beach models. 4 adults can sleep in the Ocean as well as Beach. Besides, in the Beach you can even sleep 2 adults and 3 kids. There is nothing wrong with going for full capacity and even taking a dog with you, but please always be mindful of the limited space and its combination with the length of your trip. Anyway, if you are a couple, single, or a family with a small child or two, definitely try the Ocean; this true legend almost always delivers. If you are a group of four adults or, say, a family with two or three children, Beach might be your best bet. 

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, and gas hobs inside a van. Ocean has 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 up to a month or more in the case of Ocean and a bit less for Beach. Anyway, if you run out of gas, no problem; you will 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 your own or renting a portable gas stove or grill, which you are welcome 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.
