The owners who we dealt with when renting/hiring this van were really nice and spent time preparing us a map/journey plan for our time travelling along the coast of Portugal which was really nice. They also picked us up and dropped us back to airport for a pretty reasonable cost as well. They were friendly, honest and had a pretty good sense of humour as well so meant the trip started off on a nice positive note. The van itself was imaccculate - very clean and very tiding inside. Nothing damaged or broken and everything worked well. It comes with an awesome big fridge that is always cold as it is plugged into a separate battery (meaning the starter battery for the car won't go flat). The overall design and functionality of the coooking area at the back, and the bed was really good. The vehicle itself was bloody good on fuel, as it is a new car and it is diesel. It handled and drove very well and we didn't have any mechanical issues which was great. The only downside I would say is that the bed itself was a bit hard, as the matress is a little bit thin, and the pillow were small. We got used to this though and it wasn't a deal breaker. This van was reasonably priced comapred to others on YesCapa (we believed). Note to anyone renting a van in portugal: the cost does add up esspecially the tolls - we accumulated 27 euro worth just on our way back from Lagos to Lisbon! The owners were decent though and we couldn't find a servo on the way back to fill the van back to its original mark, but they did not charge us a fee - only the cost of the missing fuel which was decent. Thanks! Lachie & Anna

Scott and Zoe booked a long, long way in advance and completed the booking process quickly and painlessly. On rental day they arrived exactly when they said they would, and also returned Prince bang on time, having updated me throughout the day. The van was clean and tidy (the grill was especially sparkling!) throughout. We would be more than happy to hire to them again :)

We had the most amazing weekend away in Brighton, the camper is very well maintained for its age, plenty of space and fully equipped with everything we needed. Dudley was amazing showed us everything we needed to get started as it was our first camper trip! Dudley spent loads of time explaining everything and was always on hand for anything while we were away! Thank you so much, we will be back!

Had a great time in Ian's camper, Ian was really helpful and always answered any questions quickly. The van is really easy to use and very comfortable, Ian even allowed us to use his tent. I cannot recommend his van highly enough.

It was a painless experience from the start. The booking process and support from Yescapa was great. April (who we hired from) was brilliant and could not have been more helpful. Would no hesitate to hire from Yescapa or April again.

Both Rupert and Su were extremely kind, friendly and helpful. We hired the camper for 5 nights to visit the Lake District, Loch Lomand and Fort William in Scotland. We found the camper such a treat to drive that on the final night we diverted to Wales to climb Snowdon instead of staying on route back to the hosts location. The camper was perfect; immaculatly kept, comfortable, and well equipped, it couldn't have been better. There is surprisingly plenty of room within the van with lots of hidden cupboards etc and the evening curtains/ frontal shades kept the camper nice and dark. We'd recommend hiring Ruperts camper without hesitation, it is a joy to drive and the hosts are a joy to deal with. Thank you for such a great experience and for making us catch the camper vanning bug.

Dan was a pleasure to deal with, all the arrangements and timings worked perfectly. The van was returned in perfect condition which was great so thanks you for that.

Lovely van, super clean, feels like new and really well equipped (2 kinds of espresso maker!). Wook was great showing how everything worked and changed his schedule to help us with drop off which was appreciated. He does prefer the vehicle to be valeted for return, so bear that in mind with costs and time at the end of your holiday. Where he lives is on a one way system so make sure you've got the route in properly (Google maps doesn't always get it right) or you'll end up going round and round in circles trying to get there! He might be advised to provide a little map rather than a sentence of directions. (Although this could just have been me being rubbish with directions!)

We hired Neil and Keeley’s beautiful campervan for a family festival weekend. The van was perfect for the three of us (me, husband and 10 year old daughter). The van has been immaculately restored, with really well thought out details. Neil and Keeley were so friendly and helpful from the moment we enquired about the van, and answered any questions we had promptly. We loved the welcome pack - a really nice touch. Would definitely book again!

Very nice and helpful owners, the motorhome was very clean and exactly as described in the listing. No bad surprises, we would rent it again. Thanks again!

Thank you Mary and Rob for looking after Boony and returning her in good condition. It was a pleasure dealing with you and we hope you had a great time in France. We'd happily do business again! All the best, Dan & Sophie

Fantastic renters. Very friendly, they asked lots of great questions whilst we demo’d the van and they obviously took good care of it and returned it clean and tidy. I would happily rent to them again.

Thank you Helena for your lovely review, we’re very glad you had a great holiday. Thank you for your comments, as you’re our second person to hire it’s really helpful to know how we can improve. In respect of the window screens, we will be having some made. We are also installing some additional usb sockets to make phone charging easier. We hope to see you again soon!

Steve has a top class vehicle to rent out. Nothing was too much trouble. Good communication throughout. This is the first time we have rented a camper van and the whole experience was superb. Steve has put an awning on the side of the camper which isn't in any of the photos and it was worth it's weight in gold. He went into great detail to show how everything worked on the camper. As a family we all had a lovely time away and would like to say a big thank you to Steve.

Rude man from the very first meeting with Rafael. Complained every day about non-existent issues and tried to fraud me out of money saying he needed to get the brakes replaced (they worked completely fine upon return). He also damaged the back side bumper and did not care. Worst experince from a hirer I have had and would strongly advise against letting him use your motorhome/campervan.

Sian was brilliant to deal with. Unfortunately a mechanical fault occurred during Sian's rental which she dealt with very effectively and graciously. Boony was also returned punctually and tidy so in all Sian was completely faultless and a pleasure to deal with. We hope you enjoyed your trip despite the trouble and we would happily deal with you again. Dan & Sophie
