VW CAMPERVAN FOR HIRE
DAISY
Why not choose our VW campervan for hire in South West Scotland? Daisy is a pale yellow classic 1970s Type 2 Westfalia Continental, and has been lovingly restored with a refurbished interior and handmade curtains. You’ll love her classic hippy vibe and the unmistakable sound and feel of her VW air cooled engine.
Daisy has all the essentials you need for your trip away including a full width fold down ‘rock n roll’ bed, a modern independent heater unit, an electric fridge, a twin gas hob and a sink with electrically pumped water from the onboard tank. She even has a few modern essentials such as phone & USB charging sockets and a Radio/CD and iPod/MP3 input. Daisy also has a solar panel, as well as electric hook up, giving you the freedom to roam “off grid”.
Daisy is available for holiday hire for a minimum of 5 nights, and sleeps up to 2 adults
She is also available for chauffeured wedding hire (October to March), and seats up to 5 passengers.
Did you spot Daisy when she was featured on BBC Scotland in “Jule’s and Greg’s Wild Swim” in early 2023?

Daisy was beautiful – even more gorgeous than we had expected. We had a great time and loved how all the other VW camper drivers waved at us when we passed them on the road.
We felt very proud driving her around.
