Delivery is negotiable for an extra fee, depending on driver availability and location.

- Don’t rent a stick shift car. Rent one of our automatic cars instead.
- Book your chosen car as a Chauffeured rental, which means it will come with a driver.
- If your companion drives stick shift, you may add them to your rental as a second driver through your selected booking platform.
Check our vehicle listing on our rental partner’s website. Typically 200 miles are included with each rental, though there are exceptions.
Please keep in mind that the self-drive rental period is 24 hours. If you exceed that, you will be charged for an extra 24-hour period (as stated in our rental partners’ contract that you agree to in order to rent the car). That said, we understand the whims of California crowds and traffic. If you are running late, please text us to let us know and we will do our best to work with you if the car isn’t needed right away for another rental.
Yes, our cars are old, but we pride ourselves on keeping them in safe and functional working order. They do work a little differently than modern cars. If you’re having trouble getting it started, stay calm and call or text us and we’ll walk you through the process of getting the vehicle back in gear.
- Call or text us right away
- We’ll do our best to walk you through the problem over the phone
- If you can’t reach us or we can’t fix the problem together, please use the roadside assistance provided by the platform you rented from.
- First, know that most personal drivers insurance doesn’t cover drive-share rentals. For that reason, we strongly recommend that Beach Gypsy Classics customers opt-in to the protection programs offered by our trusted booking partners, such as Turo and DriveShare. If you choose to decline their protection program, please check with your auto insurance to confirm that they cover drive-share rentals.
- Call the number provided by Turo or DriveShare
- Fill out a police report
- Contact us as soon as possible via phone or text
- Contact your auto insurance provider
Out-of state trips require our personal approval in advance of your departure. Please contact us if you’re renting our VW Westfalia Camper Bus and have your sights set on a multi-day camping trip to destinations far and wide.
Nope. Not even a little. Our vehicles must remain within the USA. Taking one of our vehicles across the border (southern or northern) voids any and all coverage and will result in losing your security deposit and possible litigation. Our vehicles are not permitted outside US borders.
