The vision
The dream of setting up this Kombi hire company came from back in 2002, where I purchased my first VW Kombi in Adelaide, a 1973 Bay Window bright orange pop top Kombi. I travelled Australia with three friends in the Kombi, following a dismal English cricket team get thoroughly beaten by one of the strongest Australian cricket teams for some time, lead by Steve Waugh.
With the VW Kombi rapidly climbing up the order on the vehicle extinction list and the special experience that the 'road trip' gave me and my friends, I wanted to capture this sentiment and thus the idea of the VEE DUB Experience was born. I wanted to build a fleet of classic VW Kombis to hire out to travellers, allowing people to continue to get this experience, with the security of knowing that these VEE DUBs are as good as new! My wife and I recently had our first child Sam, who is now 1, and we've already been on our first road trip up the east coast in 'Margo'. The family had a ball and we hope now with the VEE DUB Experience now up and running many more families will start doing the same. Hiring a VW Kombi to tour Australia is one of those things that you have to do.
The VEE DUB Experience ethos will offer a unique and compelling travel experience for both international and domestic customers, hiring and selling campervans, through the passion and heritage attached to the classic VW Kombi.
