Before you Arrive
Please take time to review both our orientation video and our policies as this will help expedite the pick-up of your VW. Also, after a reservation booking has been completed you will receive access to our Rental Agreement via our online booking system - please review this as well, as this is the document that will be authorized with your signature before hitting the road in your vintage ride. In addition, bring your valid drivers license and remember that all drivers need to be present upon collection of the VW.
