We had a brilliant time and the host is lovely and responsive. we did have a day the battery went flat with no real known cause so check with the host this has been fixed, we also seemed to get a low voltage for lights and fridge and so had a few times the fridge stopped working. The host was apologetic and noted these as things to fix and sort. However, when running the vehicle was an easy drive and the van has everything you could want. Very thoughtful touches and a great shower. Emptying the potty can be hard to find places that alllow! We got told off in a place we thought we could but then couldn’t.

We had an amazing experience with Francesca’s van during our trip to Tenerife. The van was absolutely impeccable — super clean, well-equipped, and incredibly easy to drive. It really felt como en casa, comfortable and cozy everywhere we went. It’s the perfect van to explore the island, from the coast to the volcano. ¡Muchas gracias, Francesca, for such a wonderful van and a smooth experience!

Renting this van was the best choice we could have made, visiting Sao Miguel! Gonçalo was extremely nice and helpful and gave us great non touristy recommendations that we truly enjoyed. The van is organized very nicely and is very cozy, exactly as advertised. While on the trip, we lost a wallet and we are very appreciative that Gonçalo tried very hard to help us find it, visited different spots trying to locate it and also handled the communication with the airport staff so we would not lose our flight ! Would recommend to everyone.

I had such a brilliant experience with this van. I took it across Spain and Portugal for a 3 week solo road trip, and everything worked flawlessly - the bed was comfortable, the setup was practical, and the van handled long drives, mountains, coast roads, and city traffic without any issues at all! The hosts were absolutely amazing from start to finish - so kind, friendly, and genuinely caring! Any time I had a question, they replied straight away with really helpful advice. You can tell they look after the van really well and that they want you to have the best trip possible! Thank you guys!

We loved our trip in Yolanda's van! Super clean and has everything we needed for exploring the island in 1 week. Yolanda was communicative and gave us all the information we needed. Thank you!

I had a really enjoyable 8 nights in Jose's T5 - my first time staying in a camper van. It was a liberating experience that I can recommend to anyone. His 4x4 is very capable and can take you most wild places without concern. The fridge was spacious and always cold (the auxiliary battery is, importantly, topped-up by solar power) and the shower worked well. I was never quite sure how quickly I was using the water, but it didn't run out as I always refilled from service stations when I could (1 Euro coins required). I avoided cooking too much, but the portable gas cooker was quite useable if you shielded it from the wind. Jose was very helpful to me as he readied his van the same day I contacted him when another van I was hiring had to be returned early due to endless, dangerous faults (I'm still waiting for the refund) - and this was also after my original planned van was cancelled by Yescapa a week before my arrival! Hiring a vehicle is worrying at the best of times, but I found Jose reassuring, trustworthy, thorough, and quick to respond to communications. He was also able to taxi me to and from the airport - thanks again. I hope to do another trip again, in Jose's van.

What a van! A legendary VW BUS! She would drive anywhere in style. Very comfortable as a camper and also has a fridge to keep food and beer cold. Perfect size to get into places easily and discover the mountains and the beaches. The host is a wonderful fellow and has been an honour to meet.

Had a great trip to Portugal! We explored the south and also visited Porto. The campervan was exactly as described—everything worked and was in good condition considering its age. Ivo provided an excellent on-site explanation about how to use the campervan. If you’re a first-time camper user, this is very helpful! However, I would still recommend having experience with a large car or a long trailer before renting a camper. Ivo was also the only one who agreed (for an additional fee) to let us pick up the camper in Lisbon and return it in Porto. This flexibility was extremely helpful for us. There were some communication issues, so I recommend confirming all details early to avoid stress and following Yescapa policy in case of problems. Overall, I recommend this listing. Thank you for the experience, and happy travels!

Very good experience - It was our first time renting a motorhome, and even though we could not communicate in the same language the owner still took the time to walk us through absolutely everything about the vehicle using Google translate, overall a very smooth and easy experience - Highly recommend
