Hi, I’m Martin

The Kombi Experience started with Azulita, our sky-blue kombi: we travelled the Riviera Maya with her and wanted to share that feeling. After years with kombis we can tell you: they will give you a lot of love.

Tell us what you need before your trip and we’ll take care of you.

“We spent a week on the road with Mandarina. Camper drives very well and we really enjoyed it. Martin is easily accessible for questions and things about the Kombie. He also gives you a self-made guide in which he shares a lot of tips and beautiful places in the area. Thank you so much to Martin for this fantastic week and we can recommend it to everyone to spend a few days driving a Kombie along the coast here in Mexico.”

Wij zijn een week met Mandarina op pad geweest. Camper rijdt hartstikke goed en we hebben onwijs genoten. Martin is goed bereikbaar voor vragen en dingen over de kombie. Hij geeft je bovendien een eigen gemaakte guide mee waarin hij een hoop tips en mooie plekjes in de omgeving deelt. Martin onwijs bedankt voor deze fantastische week en wij kunnen het iedereen aanraden om een paar dagen met een kombie hier in Mexico langs de kust te rijden.

“Martin was really helpful with our rent. Everything was great and customer oriented. He helped us to find places to visit. We're looking forward to get back to Tulum and rent a bus. Family and adult only friendly. Thank you Martin.”

“I rented the Kombie with a friend in January. And the experience and Martin exceeded all expectations. This is an experience and a very unique and fullfilling one. Martin is an absolute legend. I was so nervous driving the car since I did not have a lot of manual car experience. He spent a whole hour with me driving the car around Tulum, he was a great teacher. After that i was off to an adventure, which lasted 4 days. He provides a lot of resources to also plan out your trip, and is always in touch with you. The Kombie is more than just getting you from point A to point B. Its about you and who you are with and what you decide to do with your time. Good luck.”

Anyone aged 23 or over with a valid driving licence for the whole rental and a credit card. Before you leave, Martin gives you a driving lesson: these are 1970s vehicles with their own personality.

Where can I sleep?

In the kombi itself: it has a bed and a pop-up roof. Our travellers love beach campsites like Chamicos (Soliman Bay) and Xpu-Ha, and Xkopek near Valladolid. Martin tells you where you can and cannot stay.
