It was lovely meeting Nazaré and Sebastião and we had an excellent trip with their cute campervan from 1991 through northern Spain. Keep in mind that the van is an old lady (which is the charm we were looking for), so don't expect all the latest technogoly. Diesel consumption is a little high, specially when you're heating up to 120 km/h. We had some issues with the hot water, but since it's summer we weren't bothered at all. In genereal the campervan is in an excellent condition. Nazaré and Sebstião are constantly upgrading and adding some new tweaks, which is great. Nazaré was always available throughout the trip and very helpful! We had a blast, thank you!

Chris was brilliant, he looked after the van really well and communication was super easy. Hope you had a great time in Cornwall with that heatwave and you got to the wedding party on time : Best Regards Graham

What an amazing find. Minty was a cool campervan experience. We really enjoyed driving around Cornwall with her. Peter gave us a great introduction of the van and a short test drive to ensure we could drive it with confidence. Minty was super clean when we picked her up. The lack of power steering and 4 speed manual takes some getting used to. Keep in mind, every time you set up your camp, you have to rearrange everything, and when you plan on driving away you have to secure everything again. I would recommend bringing a sun/rain canopy large enough to cover a picnic table and your camping gear in case of rain (and you'll have more room in the van) . Eating in the campervan will feel very small and challenging. Storage space is also limited for traveling with more than 2 people (we traveled with 2 small children, so 4 total). There are plenty of USB ports to charge your devices. Bring along a 3.5mm cable to connect your device via the headphone jack to the car audio system. I would highly recommend this campervan for a unique English camping experience!

Camper Norm was perfect. Clean, plenty of storage, comfortable sleep and lovely to drive. Paul was great. Very friendly, reassuring and response time very quick every time - I had a lot of questions! The app/site is easy to use and the info is relevant and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about my rental experience. Super easy and super enjoyable. Highly recommend Paul & Camper Norm :) Thanks Paul

It's important to understand what this is about. If you are looking for luxury this is not the van for you. If you want to release your inner hippy, go a bit feral, it's perfect! The van is a bit basic and a bit tired, but has loads of character and a good strong engine which is important in Madeira because some of the roads look like they're painted onto walls! The brakes were new and squeaky, but worked well. Madeira is a really great place to wild camp in a van. People were friendly, we parked with stunning views and created memories for life. There are water points all over the island of you look for them, and showers at the beaches. We were able to cook proper meals in amazing places, sleep with the back doors open looking up at the stars and felt like we'd really done something special.

Graeme owns the van, but gets Deigo to manage all customers for him. From the moment I started dealing with Deigo it was stressful - passive aggressive, impatient and rude. Saying one thing to me on Whatsapp only to contradict it in person. The outside of the van was compeletely battered and numerous things missing that were said to be provided. I had to isolate so my brother went to meet Deigo at 5pm (as agreed) to do the dropoff. On arrival Deigo told my brother he'd have to wait around for 1.5hrs or come back later because he'd forgot to change the time for the fumigator. Of course Deigo couldn't own his mistake and tried to shift the blame on to my brother. Unless you relish stressful situations I suggest you take a wide berth from hiring this vehicle.

Both David and Pedro were amazing before, during and after the rental. Super easy to communicate with and get ahold of - very lovely humans! We loved the fit out of the van, the mood lighting was really nice. They provided all necessary amenities which was very helpful eg towels, toilet paper, gas burner, pots/pans, cutlery, bedding and spices/coffee etc. The only thing to keep in mind is this van is from 1997, so it is quite old... so it’s not the quietest or smoothest drive. But if you’re not going too far, then this is a great van.

My experience was great with Caroline and her camper van. She was always quick to respond to questions, very helpful when I collected the van and ran through how everything worked. The camper came very well equipped and was nice and clean!

We had a very smooth experience of renting Michael's van. Michael was very patient and helpful with all my questions beforehand, and showed us how everything worked before we drove off. The van is a dream to drive, and the interior is very well designed for maximum convenience from such a small vehicle.
