In a world full of campervan hire companies, eDub stands apart. We don’t just rent vans, we reimagine them. From the first spark of an idea to the moment you hit the road, everything we do is built around the belief that travel should be both joyful and responsible. Here’s what makes our classic electric campervans so unique.

The World’s First 100% Electric Classic VW Camper Available for Hire

Let’s start with Indie. She’s not just a pretty van, she’s a pioneer. Indie is the first fully electric classic VW campervan in the world available for public hire.

Indie started life as a 1970s VW camper. Today, she’s been transformed with a 100% electric drivetrain - , no emissions, and no engine noise. She offers silent, zero-emission driving without sacrificing the character and joy of a classic campervan.

Sustainable from the Start

eDub Trips is driven by the belief that holidays should be both unforgettable and environmentally conscious. Indie’s fully electric setup means your travels are free from tailpipe emissions, making your journey cleaner and greener from the moment you set off. It’s all part of our mission to make sustainable travel exciting, accessible, and beautifully designed.

Built in Yorkshire, Ready for Adventure

Our campervan conversions are proudly carried out in Yorkshire by the same team who built Indie. With a deep love for craftsmanship and innovation, we take pride in every detail - from the drivetrain to the cosy, stylish interiors. Every trip with Indie supports a local business dedicated to shaping a cleaner future for travel.

No Greenwashing, Just Good Engineering

We’re not ticking boxes, we’re building a better way to explore. Indie’s conversion wasn’t a gimmick. It’s part of our long-term vision to grow a fleet of classic electric campervans, crafted with care, engineered for reliability, and ready to bring joy to the next generation of adventurers.

Hiring from eDub Trips means choosing a company that’s built around sustainability, not just marketing it.


We’re not a faceless rental fleet. We’re a passionate team based in North Yorkshire, doing something that genuinely excites us - giving old vehicles a second life, and offering travellers a new way to see the UK. Whether you’re looking for camper van hire for a weekend, or dreaming of converting your own classic vehicle, you’ll be speaking with real people who care.
