This was our first time trying out a camper van, Paddy was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with.Nothing was too much trouble for Paddy in answering even the most simple novice's questions. The van was exactly as described and better. The van was easy to drive and powerful, it had everything we needed and very comfy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend in hiring this camper van. We did wild camping, it was a great experience, found some beautiful places to stay on the Yorkshire Moore.  I will try and photos later.

Absolutely brilliant. We took the van on a 7 day trip on the Scotland NC500. We had a fantastic time but I recommend taking 10 days if aiming to do the same route, to allow for a travel day up to Scotland and a day for travel back again. The van was in good condition and drove really nicely. Being a short wheelbase T5, parking and turning was a breeze. The twin gas hob, fridge and sink worked well and was well complimented by the good quality cooking utensils provided by Rupert. The mattress was comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised with how comfortable the sleeping space turned out to be as we had feared it may be too narrow and squashed feeling. The rear of the van has curtains for night time and the front windows have shades that attach by suckers. Rupert told us the set we were using were new and he wasn't sure how well they'd attach. It turned out that we had no issues at all with them and the van was dark and private inside when shut in for the night. This was the first time we have ever been camper vanning and would thoroughly recommend it and to book Rupert's lovely van.

Francois Jean Marc and Martine couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. Despite our lack of French and their lack of English the hand over went very well, as did the return of the vehicle. The motorhome far exceeded our expectations and was kept to a very high standard. All this added to a memorable holiday, therefore would recommend this hire unreservedly, excellant.

A Lovely family welcome any time. They treated my camper as their own and returned it in even better condition that it went out. I've no problem recommending them and hope to see them again.

AWESOME camper van!  I used the van for a 2 night, 3 days stay down at the three counties showground. The drive down was pretty comfortable, the van drives really smooth. Really good to have the iPod/aux plug in to have our tunes playing. When I picked up the van from Rupert he had already had the fridge nice and cold for us, which was brilliant given how hot it is at the moment! So we loaded it up with a few beers and bbq food. The storage itself in the van is ace, plenty of little cubby holes, and it’s well equipped in terms of cutlery, pans etc.  On site we didn’t have hook up but the lights, fridge, cooker etc all function without this and can run off the leisure battery which is ace.  I went away to a Crossfit competition with my team mates - most of them were camping so they were all pretty keen to have a look at the van. The blue and white colour scheme through out is really nice. It’s all very clean and seems like new.  The best thing about using the van instead of camping was the bed and sound proofing we had at night. It’s a nice firm bed. Apparently it rained Friday evening but we didn’t hear any of it. The window covers keep the light out in the early mornings so we got a brilliant nights sleep ready for our comp the next day.  Cooking breakfast in the van was super easy. The hobs are both quite powerful with them being gas.  When using the van van we put nost of our bags in the front footwells and had more than enough space in the back of the van for 3 of us to eat breakfast.  Id definitely recommend the van for a long weekend away - we thoroughly enjoyed the use of it! Even my friend being close to 6ft she didn’t feel cramped in at all. 

Dave was a great renter. Good communication leading up to the hire and on time for collection and return of van. The van was left spotless.  Many thanks!

Just like to say a big thank you to Gary for bringing the motorhome back in excellent condition would not hesitate to rent it again to him                                                   Many thanks Frank

Olivier, Laurence and their kids took very good care of the motorhome and were very nice guests. I'm glad they enjoyed their trip around Scotland. I can certainly recommend them as guests and would rent out my motorhome to them again without hesitation.

Eva was a very nice person and brought the motor home back in good condition.

Dave and Lucy were a pleasure to rent to. They arrived at the agreed time, took great care of my van and returned in perfect condition.

Couldnt have been better! Rupert the owner bought the van over (as I live a few streets away) he went through how everything works, where everything was stored and the safety features. He was friendly, professional, relaxed and kind (there were a few treats for us in the fridge?!).  The van is a dream. Drives beautifully, easy to live, sleep in and eat in. It was clean, stylish and fun. I would definitely hire it again.

Julie was absolutely fantastic - from the first contact over the email to when we met face to face. She was very considerate and left Freddy clean. I wish everyone guests like Julie. She is welcome back anytime!

Eve and Tim are a really lovely couple. The whole communication was very smooth. They treated Freddy with respect. They are always welcome back!

Rosie had not driven a motorhome before, so we went for a drive and she soon got the hang of it. Rosie completed her 270 mile round trip, including narrow Devon lanes, without incident and returned our motorhome on time and intact. She also offered me some good advice; to produce a checklist for what to do when arriving at a site and for leaving. I'm onto it. It will help me too, because there is so much to explain at check in, I worry that renters may not recall all the details. I will now be more relaxed when the motorhome is out on a rental. Rosie is charming, punctual, intelligent and took onboard all the instructions and advice given.  I would be very happy to rent our motorhome to Rosie again.

Having had a fabulous trip down in Cornwall and Devon, Stuart’s VW campervan made the holiday more memorable. It’s a dream to drive. It was big enough for myself and Izzy my little dog and small enough to easily manoeuvre around lanes. Stuart was very accommodating and just a really nice and friendly guy. Great host!! I will definitely be using his camper again in the near future. 

Alexandre was a real pleasure to deal with. His emails before the rental were clear and polite, and handing the VW over to his family was a pleasure. 'Prince' was brought back in an immaculate condition, hand-washed just a few miles away from Cambridge before its return, and spotless inside as well. Best wishes to you and your family Alexandre! Best wishes, Tim  

The whole experience was great from the booking right through to picking up the van & it's return.  Staff at Yescapa were very helpful.  The motorhome we rented was just right for our needs and Wayne was very accommodating and his communication, help & advice was excellent.  We would definitely rent from Wayne again and would have no hesitation in recommending Wayne or the Motorhome.  Thanks for everything.

Everything went well. The owner was very helpful and professional. The vehicle was in a very good condition and super easy to drive. It was my first experience renting a campervan and the trip was awesome! I would highly recommend this van to anyone!

The whole experience went very smoothly 

Andy was great.  Communicated well, was on time and gave a good brief on the van.  But the real measure of a service is not when things go well, but when they do not. The clutch burnt out - can happen any time so not his fault at all.  He answered the phone immediately and between us we agreed that recovery to his place was best.  He was there to meet me and the tow truck at gone midnight and offered to run me home (tow truck did it, but offer was made).  Will definitely use him again and heartily recommend him to others.
