VW campervan hire Bordeaux is simple with Bonfire Vans who pick you up at your Bordeaux destination - be it the airport or train station.
This part of Southwest France is a fantastic starting point for a camping trip, whether you are coming with friends, a couple, or a family. Bordeaux is the capital of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France; famous for vineyards, beautiful old buildings, rolling hills and sandy beaches.
We’ve got four styles of campervans to hire from Bordeaux. The best value for a couple is our Van Baxter, which sleeps two but can drive four. Maybe you can bring an external tent for your friends?
We’ve also got a Van Baxter Rooftop, with which we provide a rooftop tent meaning four people can travel and four people can sleep. Yes, the rooftop text is super comfortable, even for adults.
Then we have our off-grid range of VW California campervans that you can hire from Bordeaux. Both have 4-wheel drive plus solar panel backup for real, worry-free campervan fun.
Check out our Cali Coast Off-Grid and our Cali Beach Off-Grid.
Don’t forget; we also rent minibuses from Bordeaux.
Our Bordeaux agency is outside the city, so we operate a pick-up and drop-off service. We are happy to meet you from your flight, train or even at your hotel free of charge.
Popular pickup locations include our agency office (featured on the map), Bordeaux Airport, Mérignac or Bordeaux Saint-Jean train station.

Bordeaux city is located close to the European Atlantic coast in the Southwest of France. It’s a port city on the Garonne River, so you’ll find stunning bridges and gardens lining the quays. The 18th-19th century buildings are charming and if you do go in to the city be sure to visit the Gothic Cathédrale Saint-André.
The Bordeaux area is most famous for wine production, and the city itself is the hub. You’ll soon be wine tasting in one of the many quality caves or enjoying your Bordeaux wine at one of the quality French restaurants.
The Bordeaux area is well known for cycling and can be a tranquille (and healthy) way to see the sights. Bonfire Vans provide bike rental from the Bordeaux base as well as a bike rack for the campervan itself. Both adults and children can be accommodated.
Book your van nowOnce you’ve enjoyed Bordeaux city, hop back in your VW campervan and set off on the roads of France. This whole area is known for its wine growing and production, so you are sure to pass vineyards and find plenty of wine rooms. Heading east will take you to Bergerac, a charming medieval town on the river Dordogne.
Going south, you’ll find another popular area - the Médoc region. This beautiful area is situated on the left bank of the Gironde estuary.
North will take you to Cognac country. Why not stop off at Saint-Émilion, in the heart of the country of Libournais, a region of wine hills?
Drive towards the coast and you’ll find Royan, Rochefort and the bustling town of La Rochelle, all highly recommended by the Bonfire Vans team.
If you love the beach life - go straight across to the beautiful west coast of France to catch some rays at beach resorts such as Lacanau, Carcans Plage or Biscarrosse.
There are lots of great camping spots in this area, and plenty of surf breaks.
Another favourite with campers is Arcachone Bay - an oyster harvesting area situated on the Bassin d’Arcachon.
The town has four quarters each named after the seasons. ‘Winter’ is a historical district. There’s ‘Summer Town’, the lively seafront part. ‘Autumn’ houses the harbour and fish market. Then ‘Spring’ has a large beach and bustling promenades.
Don’t miss Dune du Pilat - Europe's tallest sand dune nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and a pine forest. If you’re not sure what to do once you get there, just try running down it really fast.
There are 5 campsites very near Dune du Pilat and it’s a magical place to spend a few days.
