New: VW LT28 Westfalia

Our newest van — a high-roof Westfalia you can stand up in. It sleeps up to three (two seating areas, each converts into a bed), and has a full kitchen with a fridge and a lot of storage, a separate room for a toilet (no shower yet), a 220V socket, A/C for both cooling and heating, nice ventilation, Bluetooth audio with good speakers, blackout curtains everywhere, camping furniture and dishes, bedsheets and a couple of spare sleeping bags — and nardy (very important).

About

Eraz means "a dream" in Armenian.

But it is also an abbreviation for Yerevan Automobile Plant which gave name to a brand of very special Armenian minivans manufactured between 1966 and 1996.

We bought one from 1992 and transformed it into a camper - which might be the first one ever made out of an Armenian vehicle. And now you can rent it!

Why should you? Because Armenia is one of the most beautiful countries on planet Earth, with its mountain ranges and plains, icy high-elevated lakes and glaciers, medieval monasteries, vineyards of Ararat valley and roughly 300 sunny days per year.

We believe that crossing this country overland, camping in its' mountains and sleeping under its' stars might be an adventure to live for and we offer you an ultimate machine to do so - a mighty and stylish ERAZ. Will you go for it?

P.S. If ERAZ sounds like too much extreme for you, we may also offer our VW LT28 Westfalia — we call it Shrek — or a Volkswagen Transporter 3, for the same price and with the same equipment.

What's Included?

Everything you need is already in the van.

We have Extras that can be purchased separately, just ask us.

What documents do I need to rent with Armenian Retro Vans?

What document for the van you will give me?

Contract, proof of payment (including deposit) and registration certificate for a car. You don’t need a printed proof of third party insurance.

What type of transmission?

Manual.

Is it safe?

Yes, as long as you remember that this is a retro vehicle and don’t push it too hard. The vehicle is NOT equipped with seatbelts and should not be driven faster that 60-70 kilometres (40-45 miles) per hour.

What fuel does the engine run on?

Pure gasoline, baby!

What type of engine is it anyway?

It's a four cylinder ZMZ-402 from a legendary soviet Volga car, sometimes referred to as a Soviet take on muscle cars (this was of course a bit of stretch to say the least). 100 horse powers, huge numbers for Soviet car industry.

What type of transmission?

Manual.

What's inside?

The same equipment as in the ERAZ: kitchenette, fridge, double bed, heater and the rest of the list from the What's Included section above.

What fuel does it run on?

LPG (propane gas).

What about seatbelts and speed?

Unlike the ERAZ, the T3 has seatbelts: four in total, including the driver's. The speed rule is the same: it's a retro van, don't push it faster than 60-70 kilometres (40-45 miles) per hour.

What type of transmission?

Manual.

How big is it?

It's the biggest van in our fleet: a high-roof Westfalia you can stand up in. It sleeps up to three and has a full kitchen with a fridge, a separate toilet room, a 220V socket and A/C for both cooling and heating.

What about the engine and safety?

It's a 1991 VW LT28 with a diesel engine and a manual gearbox. Unlike the ERAZ, it has seatbelts: one for the front passenger and seven more in the back. The speed rule is the same though: don't push it faster than 60-70 kilometres (40-45 miles) per hour.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, if you don't buy a full-cover insurance, we will ask you to leave a deposit an equivalent of 500 US dollars in case of damages inflicted to the vehicle.

Can I pay a deposit with a credit card?

Yes, you can.

How do you accept payments?

We ask for a prepayment, and we agree the exact method when you book — there are plenty of options, just message us.

Is payment upfront required for booking?

Yes, at least some part of it.

Can I pay with cash on the spot?

We are really flexible and will accept payment in pretty much any monetary form. Just text us and we will figure something out.
