Yescapa Community Reviews

We had a fantastic two-week adventure with this campervan! The owner's service was outstanding, every question I had before and during the trip was answered quickly and clearly, which made planning so much easier. The van itself was surprising comfortable for three of us to sleep in, and it came fully equipped with everything we needed to cook, relax, and travel without a hassle.A small note of caution: this is a classic vehicle, about 30 years old, so it's heavy and more tiring to drive on narrow, winding mountain roads. As long as you are prepared for a more old-school driving experience, it's a wonderful way to explore. Overall, a great hire and a memorable trip.

We had a thoroughly great experience renting this campervan. The pickup went smoothly, the owners are a lovely family. The van was very comfortable and easy to drive. Very well kitted out, they have thought of everything. Very well equipped kitchen! Also very convenient location for Alicante airport. Thanks to the owners for their kindness! We loved it

This camper van was fantastic! Spacious, easy to drive, and in excellent condition. Davide is a wonderful host who made us feel comfortable with everything. Highly recommended for a road trip in northern Italy! :)

Lovely people who looked after the motor home well.

Perfect they were lovely people

We had a mixed experience. It was our first time in a motorhome, and we travelled with our 4 kids to Austria. We chose Woj’s motorhome because it could accommodate up to 7 people whilst also being <3.5t which most normal licenses allow, it was also in a convenient location for that trip and the pictures looked quite good.The pickup was in a public car park in a commercial area - not in Woj’s home. I was a bit unsure about this because we needed to leave our car there whilst we were travelling for 10 days. It ended up being ok, the area is reasonably safe and we left the car in the street rather than inside the car park. Not the best, but it was ok.Woj required a security deposit of €2k on pickup. This gets returned if everything is ok, but you still pay it even if you have full insurance. I was a bit unsure about this before meeting Woj, but he is very trustworthy and was happy to do a bank transfer through Wise to help keep records.Woj arrived on time and came with his daughter to help translate. Collection took 1.5hrs as he explained everything in detail. This was ok as it was our first time, so it was useful to have everything explained well, and it made things easier later.It’s a well looked after motorhome, everything was clean. But beware it’s been used quite a lot (it had +100k kms), so some things show their age. Make sure you check everything yourself and take pictures of everything. Not just outside but inside too. If something is not in a good condition or broken when you return and you hadn’t spotted it before (even if it wasn’t your fault) expect to pay. One issue we had was the interior mirror just came off one day. It looked like it had been glued in the past, and we couldn’t put it back.  We didn’t think this would be a big issue as I thought they were quite cheap to replace and it looked like a pre-existing issue. But when we arrived this was marked as needing repair and we were charged €280 for this after Woj asked different repair places. Not great… but not much we could do about it. Woj got a quote within a few days and was helpful at providing the paperwork necessary to claim from the insurance.The motorhome had everything we needed, but it’s all fairly basic and just the essentials. The plates, glasses etc are plastic. This was ok for us. Nothing luxurious, but that’s part of the experience.The fridge took a while to get used to. The first day we thought it wasn’t working because it didn’t look like it was cooling at all, but when we plugged the electricity in the first campsite this seemed to get it going much better and was fine afterwards. Normally we found that on days we were travelling it didn’t cool very well, but usually when we were stationary or spending some nights in one place it worked well. I guess it’s just a bit of getting used to.I have to say I was quite disappointed with Yescapa in general, it wasn’t very helpful for customer service. If you have any issues while renting, you have to deal with it yourself with the owner as it’s impossible to speak to Yescapa directly, there seems to be no human to talk to and they don’t respond to the emails. They had a phone number for the breakdown insurance (in our case it was Allianz) but we didnt have good experience with this. One day we lost battery power in the van and couldn’t switch it on. We were in the road, so we had to call the roadside assistance. They only spoke in German which we don’t speak, so I had to flag down a car on the road to help us get through the call options to speak to someone in English that could help us. We waited for hours, and in the end we gave up waiting and flagged down another car that helped us jump start the van. The roadside assistance never turned up and we just got a call back that night to see if we still needed assistance… but they hadn’t contact any repair places to send anyone yet. Woj was very helpful to help diagnose the issue on the phone and sent us some pictures of where the points were to jump start the car, which was useful when we found someone on the road to help, so it all worked out in the end.On the return, Woj provided some recommendations of where to clean the motorhome. We slept nearby and arrived early to spend the morning cleaning the outside and the inside. We disinfected everything and left it as good as we could. Woj’s wife complained it wasn’t cleaned to a good standard but in the end this was ok. We’re not experts at cleaning vans and did the best we could. Perhaps it’s easier if they simply charge a cleaning fee and you can return it like you would do with a normal rental car, or like you would do when renting an apartment on holiday. I’m not sure what’s normally done by other owners as this was our first time.Overall the experience of travelling in the motorhome was fun aside from those issues. The sleeping arrangements were good. The older kids slept comfortably in the bunk bed at the back, the sofa converted easily into a bed which we rarely used, and the top double bed was quite spacious and comfortable. We had a baby sleeping with us at the top as she was breastfeeding in the night and there was plenty of space.If we were doing this again, I would prefer renting through an agency rather than directly to an owner. It was ok in the end, but added unnecessary stress to the experience, and Yescapa was not very helpful when we needed them. All in all, Woj’s motorhome is a good option if you choose Yescapa and are looking for one near Munich. We enjoyed the experience and kept great memories from this trip.

It was our first time with an Autocaravana, Carla and Arsenio were very helpful, they provided full guidance how to use everything in the van; giving us some locations suggestions on where to overnight, which of great help. They were also always available when we needed. Thank you very much for providing us such stress free holidays, it was a great time. I am already planning our next trip 😁

The rental procedure, communication with the owners and receiving the van were easy and straightforward. Miquel (and Magdalena) was lovely, very approachable and when we had an issue he came immediately and sorted it very quickly. He explained everything and gave us recommendations which were spot-on he was flexible about time and location if collection and return of the van which was extremely helpful and saved us lots of timewe had a fantastic time. The van was perfect and comfortable

We really enjoyed our week in the campervan.Peter and Mandy were so welcoming and helpful. The communication in advance was clear and our needs as a family were acccomdated well. We really appreciated the food and drinks that were supplied for us, making the first day or two much easier. We were also able to collect & return the van near the airport which was very convenient.The van worked well for a family with 2 young children. The main bed was very comfortable for 2 adults + smaller child and our oldest enjoyed the high bed. Thanks to Peter and Mandy for a great experience! Leah, Will & family

Everything was spot on with the camper, the owners were lovely, the pick up and drop off was perfect!! Everything went faultless. Thankyou so much for letting us rent your lovely campervan, If we come back we would definitely rent off you again!! merci!! tres bien!!🤗

La location s’est très bien déroulée. Le van était conforme à la description et en excellent état. Les échanges avec le propriétaire ont été simples et agréables, il s’est montré disponible et sympathique du début à la fin. Une expérience fluide et positive que je recommande sans hésiter.

Great communication before we arrived which put our minds at rest. The van was just as we expected..it had the bumps and scratches of a well travelled vehicle! The bed area was comfy with clean bedding and extra bedding if needed and all the kitchen equipment was new or in excellent condition, with extras such as olive oil provided! A new stove, table and chairs meant we could set up and prep meals easily. He’d provided a beach umbrella too. Our host was so lively, he gave us lots of advice about the island, where we could park and even gave us a wonderful breakfast on our first morning as we studied the map he gave us! We had the best time travelling around and will be back next year!! Thank you for a really great experience!

David and Marion were incredibly helpful and kind. They went over and above to help our family when we arrived late in the evening to Nantes airport. The RV is extremely comfortable, with every amenity that we required. It was well stocked with equipment eg kitchen ware and outdoor furniture and consumables (eg for cleaning). David gave us lots of helpful advise on planning our weeks trip around Brittany. The RV drives really well and the gas and solar mean that power is always available. We thoroughly enjoyed our hiring experience and would recommend 100% Thank you David & Marion!

We were very pleased with the trip. Nice owner, new neat car with everything you need for a holiday

Carlos was very helpful and friendly and made the whole experience smooth and problem free. It is a motorhome that has some miles behind the hood and so we quickly learnt some tricks and ways around the technicalities of living in this small space. This added to the charm and suited us perfectly. I would highly recommend Carlos and the vehicle as well as location to start from. Only 5 mins from Faro airport.

We had a wonderful time in this Van. The owners were communicative and helpful. The van was spotlessly clean and well equipped - it has everything you would need to be self sufficient.

Nice and very polite guy. It’s been a great pleasure. Hope to see Matej in fuerteventura again very soon !

Gianluca and his friends from Sicilia rented Dolly for a long trip around Portugal. Even if they had an incidents that required some assistance they took it very sporty. It was a pleasure to get to learn these polite nice young Italians that treated Dolly really nice. I can recommend them as renters for your car. :-)

The Yescapa experience was super good. Would do it again no hesitation. Just people connecting with real people! Also excellent value compared to the alternatives.

We had a wonderful time with this campervan , The owners were so lovely and answered all our questions before the trip ( even picked us up from the airport and dropped us back after the holiday) which made everything easy and stress-free. The campervan was spotless, well-equipped, and perfect for our holiday. It was our first time and Highly recommend, it’s an almost brand new campervan and it drives better than a car does.
