Hello Sam good afternoon and thank you for your short review the same day after returning the vehicle. We are Sad to see you based your WHOLE experience of a 10 day rental based on the damage caused by you on the pop top tent of our vehicle. This vehicles are vintage and special. Any labor + parts on these vehicles are expensive due to the nature of the cars and how special they are. We are very transparent with our clients in regards costs and that they will be charged upon return in case something breaks, or something is damaged during the rental. We do provide you a video explaining very well how to operate this vehicles, additionally we do explain upon your arrival things to watch for, and one of them is how to operate the tent. As we do not offer any sewing services, if the tent canvas is teared (your case) we do have to either remove the top of the van completely and take the tent to a sewing shop and then reinstall, or remove the tent and install a new one. This is a labor intensive work regardless of the price of a new tent or sewing service. We really dislike having to explain this operation in public because it does not relate to the experience in a van here in Hawaii or our service. However unfortunately it seems like this needs to be shown on your case. Additionally ins unfortunate that we do have to come across a company taking advantage of a situation given that you damaged one product you don't want to pay for and we are just trying to make sure our vehicles are well taken care for all our clients. Thank you again.

We had a great time. The van was a great way to see the island. However, I was very disappointed with two aspects of the Hawaii Surf Campers experience:

Hello Campbell good morning and thank you for your message about your rental. Also thank you for driving Tango around for a couple nights with your family as well as the kind words on our check-in methods.

The 1982 Orange Westfalia 'Tango' was such a fun vehicle for my wife and I to rent on our honeymoon. We really enjoyed it's aesthetics however every morning on the first cold start had issues. We ended up bump starting it or using the internal jump to get the starter to turn fast enough. It's well finished, but at the end of the day it's still an antique van. Make sure you really go over how it works or specifically how to jump it from it's own battery. I'd also skip the $35 beach chair and just buy one from Walmart next time. So if you want a lovable quirky vehicle to live your North Coast Dreams, go for it. If you want reliable turn key transportation that is guaranteed to start with power steering maybe look elsewhere. I'd definitely rent it again, but if I wasn't mechanically inclined we would have been stuck waiting for a mechanic.

Tons of fun! The van was very carefully restored, it was in great shape given the age of the vehicle.

We have an wonderful experience with the Hawaii Surf Campers team, these guys are awesome! From the check in to check out, everything was very smooth, car was in really nice condition for such a iconic and timeless bus, plus they took the time and gave us all the instructions on how to proper drive it. Ross were very communicative during the trip for anything we needed! I definitely recommend Hawaii Surf Campers, thank you guys!
