Or wind her through cedar-lined backroads toward alpine lakes and moss-draped trails. Lucy was built for this kind of magic.Why Lucy is DifferentLucy isn’t about rushing from A to B — she’s about pulling over when the light hits the water just right.Iconic 1989 VW Westfalia charm – vintage soul, timeless stylePop-top roof – sleep under canvas with the sea breeze drifting inCozy upstairs + downstairs sleeping – perfect for couples or a small crewClassic kitchenette – stove, sink, cooler/fridge setup for beachside breakfastsCompact + nimble – easy to drive, easy to park, impossible not to smile inMajor main-character energyBuilt for Vancouver Island LivingLucy feels right at home exploring:The surf towns and stormy beaches of the west coastHidden forest service roads and waterfall hikesGulf Island ferry hopsSunset picnics overlooking the Salish SeaStar-filled nights far from city lightsWake up to mist hanging in old-growth forests.

The van exceeded our expectations. Was fully stocked and everything in fabulous shape. It drove way better than expected for a first time Westie user. Will rent 'Lucy' again.

We had an amazing experience renting the Westfalia! From the moment we picked it up, everything was smooth and easy. The van was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable road trip. From a cozy bed setup to a fully equipped kitchenette. Driving it felt like a nostalgic adventure, and it handled great on both highways and winding scenic roads. Cyrus was friendly, communicative, and clearly takes pride in keeping the van in top shape. We would absolutely rent this Westfalia again for another trip and it added a ton of character and charm to our getaway!

My passion for VW campervans began as soon as I was old enough to drive. I bought my first Volkswagen bus in 1967 and drove straight to California, starting a lifetime of van-life adventures. Since then, I’ve crossed Canada six times, explored the U.S. from coast to coast, driven throughout Mexico, and even Hawaii, where I lived for several years. My most recent journey was shipping my Westfalia from Vancouver BC to Rotterdam and traveling across Europe and the British Isles in 2019. My vans have also been to Burning Man seven times, still carrying a bit of desert dust as a reminder of the memories made. VW campervans are truly one of the great loves of my life, and my next dream adventure is to drive off-road through the Baja Peninsula. After more than 50 years on the road, sharing these classic Westfalias with travelers visiting Vancouver Island feels natural. I enjoy helping guests experience safe, comfortable, unforgettable road trips across Canada’s most beautiful destinations.
