David was great and the van was exactly as he described. Gave us a great run down on how everything works, and answered my questions during the rental as well. David was super accommodating and great communicator.

David was awesome! He gave a great run down of the Van, and it was absolutely perfect for our event. We will rent again for sure, such a cool van with retro style & flair!

We had the absolute best experience with Tin Can Travel Co. The van was exactly as pictured and ran perfectly. The owner was super responsive, helpful and so kind. We will definitely be renting this van again soon!

Absolutely fantastic! David (of Tin Can Travel) was extremely accommodating to my plans, and things couldn't have gone more smoothly getting picked up at the airport and meeting for drop off at my hotel. Great communication and instruction regarding all the vehicle's features. The rig itself is amazing and is outfitted with everything you might need - solar power, propane, water, camp chairs, bug spray, paper towels, broom - you name it! Can't recommend this vehicle or Tin Can Travel enough - and can't wait to get back to Texas and out in this VW again!

David and his van were awesome! Having driven plenty of Westfalias in the past, you can tell this Van was extremely well maintained. We had absolutely no issues on the road, and the small touches David included in the Van really made the trip. Having solar power on the van is an amazing touch given the amount of dry camping possible in Texas. I couldn't recommend this van enough to anyone looking to hit the road for a slow stroll around Texas with some beautiful stops along the way.

Everything was wonderful! David was real nice. I would recommend renting in the fall or summer so that you’re most comfortable since the air conditioner isn’t super powerful.

Absolute best experience! Vanagon drove like a champ and was fully decked with water, propane, and even pots and pans. I packed too much! Boy and doggo were extremely comfortable. Will be renting again.

Great little van. Feels like you're transported back into the 80's. Our 7 year old had a great time hanging in the pop-up area. Comes with a sink and propane stove. Just a heads-up there's no A/C (no problem for us in the spring). Chris was very responsive and throughout in how to work the van. We'll rent again!

Took the vanagon to Big Bend National Park, and it was great on the long drive! There were no issues at all, it was a blast!

I drove to Palo Duro State Park and this campervan got me there like a champ! It was fun to live my vanlife dreams for a few days, figuring out all the storage and convertible features in the van and setting everything up just so. Being able to cook on the stove and use a refrigerator were real perks, and the bed was cozy and comfortable. I also really enjoyed being able to bring along some old mixtapes and listen to them for the first time in years. Be prepared for some interior noise and to cruise in the slower highway lane, but overall the van was very reliable, practical, and fun to drive.
