We hired Daisy (the 70s VW camper) and headed into the Northern Highlands. Paul and Beth were the most friendly, helpful people. They gave excellent advice on day 1 about how to get the most out of the van and out of Scotland, and they were available to be contacted about even the most trivial questions relating to the van at all hours. The van was in absolute pristine condition when we picked it up. Although the van is now obviously several decades old, it is simple enough to drive and you can cover a great distance in it (we clocked over 900 miles in 4 days in it, and even drove it over a mountain and through Edinburgh and Glasgow at their busiest times all without issue) and you don’t find yourself missing the kind of conveniences you may think a more modern van would be able to give you (indeed, it has been updated with a few modern features such a Bluetooth radio, fridge and solar panel etc.). The whole experience is fantastic – wherever we drove, the van received endless love from those we passed by, with people were turning their heads to look and wave at us. The Highlands themselves are a vast playground of astonishing beauty. Be careful with fees though – We booked via Yescapa.com and paid for 5 days hire (rather than 4 nights) however, in effect, this turned out to only be 4 days as the van was only available from 12 oclock on day 1 and needed to be returned by 12 on the final day. Despite this, we ended up returning the van a couple of hours late and were charged an additional half day’s fee (£60). We were also charged a small additional fee for the insurance due to our relatively young age. Although it is (I believe) a family run business, don’t think it is any different to hiring from large companies – additional fees can escalate if you are not careful. Nevertheless, we had the best experience in Scotland with Daisy and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. We are both very grateful to Beth and Paul for giving us the chance to experience something we will look back on very fondly for a long, long time.

Peter was a very helpful and informative owner, making the whole process easy. Minty was a pleaure to drive and we enjoyed taking her on a trip around Devon. Minty was well stocked up with all the necessities needed for a trip away. Would highly recommend and will be booking minty again!

We really enjoyed using Gavin's van. It was clean and ready for us and very well equipped. Gavin was very friendly and helpful and responded immediately to one query that I had. I would definitely recommend.

Liz was very friendly and helpful, she answered all questions quickly and made suggestions we hadn't thought off! She had the van serviced in advance of our hire and was very diligent with all the paperwork. The van is in excellent condition and is exactly as pictured. We had a great trip to the east coast with our two young kids and were grateful of the drive away awning and emergency toilet Liz supplied which was a bonus! We would hire Liz's van again without any hesitation!

I would highly recommend renting this camper van! Marc has done a great job converting it and everything you need has been thought of. I was travelling with my two young kids and so the set up of three seats was perfect for us. And the bed is so comfy! It gave us the ability to travel round and see family while social distancing. On returning the van Marc even offered and gave me a lift to the station. Couldn't have asked for more! Next time we are in need of a van holiday we'll definitely be back! Oh and as I Graham and the mum of a ginger boy, the van stickers of 'Grahams on tour!' and 'Ginger inside' were very much loved.

Ralph is an experienced van driver and an extremely courteous renter. However, he may offer to buy your van on the day of return, so be prepared! Thank you, highly recommended.

Nice friendly couple that took our van. Recommend them as good clients. They had the bad luck of someone damaging the mirrors. Was not there fault and were happy to pay for the replacement. We trust you enjoyed your holiday. And wish you all the best. Good renters that won't let you down. Van was very clean internally on return. With full fuel and deposits empty

What a fantastic van! The Bongo has everything you might need- literally! From washing up liquid & coffee to a gazebo & table & chairs, you really only need to bring your bedding & you're good to go! Andrew & Jana were a pleasure to deal with, always helpful in answering any questions. The Bongo was a super comfy ride for us all. The beds a little small but it's what you would expect from a small van. Couldn't fault the van or the owners. 5⭐️s & we would definitely rent again.

Parminder had excellent communication throughout the booking process and on the day of motorhome collection, he gave us a detailed run-through of the vehicle and all of its bells and whistles. The motorhome was fantastic to drive and we had no problems with it at all, it was a comfortable fit for four adults over five days and we didn't have a single issue arise. I would highly recommend booking Parminder's motorhome as we had such a wonderful experience and felt really looked after and comfortable throughout our road trip.
