Adelaar Campers rents fully off-grid campervans from Amstelveen, 10 minutes from Amsterdam. Collection and return between 08:00–20:00, seven days a week. Category B licence sufficient. All of Europe permitted.
Adelaar Campers is also popular for honeymoons and romantic getaways. The Zonnewijzer is the most popular choice for this. For longer road trips through Germany, France or Scandinavia, the Albatros is the most complete choice. Adventurers often choose the Horizon.
Location & Handover
The campervans are handed over at Den Bloeyenden Wijngaerdt in Amstelveen — 10 minutes from Amsterdam city center. Free parking on site.
Campervans can be collected and returned between 08:00 and 20:00, seven days a week.
During the handover we walk you through all features of the campervan in detail, take photos and/or videos to record its condition, and hand over the key.
You'll leave fully prepared for your trip.
No. A standard category B driving licence is sufficient for all three campervans — the Horizon (VW Crafter), Zonnewijzer (Citroën Jumper) and Albatros (VW Crafter L3).
In principle you don't need a campsite or hook-up. All three campervans are fully self-sufficient. You can park anywhere — in a field, by a lake, in the mountains — without any external connection.
"Because the van is off-grid and equipped with solar panels, we never had to plug in anywhere."
