We can’t recommend renting a vehicle from Kevin (especially the Westfalia) enough!! Kevin is a fantastic communicator and made us feel like we already had a friend in Alaska before our flight even touched down. Pick up and drop off was super smooth. Vincent Van Go ran flawlessly, and staying in a vintage westfalia was one of the top highlights of our vacation. Vincent gets lots of attention on the road and in the campgrounds. We took Vincent down to Kenjai Fords Nat’l park and then up to Denali without issue. Vincent is deceptively spacious inside, with plenty of closets and drawers for organizing gear. The bed was super comfortable, and everything we needed to live van life for a week was provided. We will be recommending this experience to everyone we know who wants to visit Alaska. Thank you Kevin and Look Like a Local for an unforgettable trip!

We had a divine Alaskan adventure, in large part thanks to this car. It’s the perfect size - very roomy in the back, and can comfortably (!) sleep four while still easy to drive. Speaking of which, cruising around is a breeze — the motor got replaced/modernized, and it’s manual. This van is really the best of both worlds, with a vintage feel of a late 70s adventure and the reliability of the modern day. Sparkling clean and organized. Because of the car’s size, you can pull off into unique places to sleep and experience an authentic Alaska free from tourist traps.

The combination of the Alaskan adventure, the freedom of van life, and the thrill of attending a unique concert is simply unbeatable. It's the best way to make the most out of your trip and create memories that you'll cherish forever. The positivity that comes from immersing yourself in new experiences, surrounded by stunning landscapes and good music, is truly unparalleled.

Have a question?Get answers directly from the host
Q.Is Vincent an Automatic or Manual Transmission?
A.
Vincent is an AUTO transmission and an absolutely dream to drive.
Q.Can 4 full Size Adults fit and maintain comfortability during driving and camp/sleep configuration?
A.
Yes, the Westfalia was designed to fit 4 full sized adults. 2 adults are able to fit and sleep comfortably up in the "Pop Top" or penthouse suite as we call it, and 2 adults sleep on the lower bed arrangement.
Yes, even you over 6'-0" folks will be able to get yourself comfortable and sleep in bliss.
Q.Is the Pop Top Canvas Weather Proof against Wind & Rain?
A.
YES, Vincent has a new canvas pop top that is specially treated to be extremely waterproof and keep you nice and dry. So need not you fret my future adventure companions. Vincent's got you covered!
