In the U.S., the VW Thing was produced for only two short years—1973 and 1974—giving it an almost mythical status among vintage car lovers. When production ended, time moved on and most disappeared, making the few that remain today truly special.
Stepping into a 1974 VW Thing now feels like stepping into a living piece of history. Picture yourself cruising through Napa Valley’s rolling vineyards at sunset. Its unmistakable design and open-air spirit create moments that feel effortless yet unforgettable, and photos that carry a timeless, nostalgic soul. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, gathering with friends, or simply savoring the journey, the VW Thing turns the drive itself into part of the story—rare, authentic, and impossible to replicate.
For self-driving sessions, drivers must be comfortable operating a manual transmission (stick shift).
When inquiring about reservations, please include the locations you plan to take the vehicle, the estimated distance you expect to drive, and whether you will be providing a qualified driver. If not, chauffeured options are available.
