João was incredibly friendly and eager to share information about the island's interesting locations. Initially, we had booked his 1999 Land Rover, which was still in the repair shop when we arrived. A few days before our trip, João offered us his 2019 Jeep at the same price. The Jeep had everything we needed for our trip, including a portable shower and cooking utensils. The rooftop tent was also really spaceous and comfortable (Quechua MH500). At the end of our stay, João invited us on a fishing boat trip, which we gladly accepted, and it was fantastic. Very kind owner, very good vehicle, recommend 100%. Regards, Marko

The overall experience was below average. The day of the pick-up the owner wasn't answering our calls and emails and when we eventually spoke to her she said she had forgotten about the rental!! On arrival, the camper was still being cleaned for delivery, even if she had plenty of time to get it ready as we said we would pick it up 4 hours later than we should have had to. One of the rear tyres was very low and had to be inflated, though the owner said that they were new tyres; after the 4-day rental, the tyre was low again most likely a slow leak. Numerous declared faults were noted: the main saloon window was broken and had a temporary repair, the rear bunk bed window was non-operable, the driver's window would open but not close again. On arrival at the campsite, we found that the shore power cord was inoperable, upon opening the plug it was found that one wire was broken and we had to repair it. The content was noted at between a 1/4 to 1/2 tank which necessitated a stop to refuel before setting forth on our journey. On refilling the tank the gauge was very slow to register so we filled the tank to be sure of our capacity. We later found out that the gauge was very slow at reading the volume. Hence we delivered the camper on return with close to 3/4 full. We used the toilet only for #1, before leaving the camping site the container was taken to be emptied and was found to have contents of #2!! although we had been told the tanks had been emptied and cleaned. On the return we had to wait 45 mins for the owner to arrive to accept the camper, even though we gave plenty of notice of our arrival time. Very bad experience, we would not recommend this camper to anyone.

We had a really good time with the van. It was a really nice and well arranged van that allowed us to discover south if Portugal. Pedro was really kind with us, he gave us advices, he knows his van and was available if you have issues or questions. Thank you for everything!

We had a beautiful rental experience with Francisco. The van is simple and cosy but has everything you need for some off the grid exploring. A lot of care and love had been put into the van and was a pleasure to drive. It was so lovely to meet and converse with the owner, who went out his way to make sure our trip went smoothly.

Great communication from the owner with clear instructions for pick up and drop off. Camper is close to centre of Rome so easy to collect with public transport from the centre of Rome. The camper itself is well equipped and the bed folds down to be comfortable and quite big (I’m 6’2” and managed to get a comfortable night sleep on the bed). The camper although old drives well and managed everything we wanted including big hills and tight roads.Great experience from start to finish and great hosts to deal with.

Virgil and his family were super friendly and helpful. The van is great and in fantastic condition. The solar power is great for not needing to connect to any power. Highly recommend and we hope to see them again next year to hire again

We had an amazing experience renting Diane's camper! Diane was incredibly friendly and made everything super clear from the start. The camper was spotless and well-maintained, which made our trip even more enjoyable. We highly recommend driving Diane's camper for your next adventure. It has all the comforts you need and provides a fantastic travel experience.

Great experience, would of been better if the van had a solar inverter or even a generator, but I can’t fault them for that

Superbe location effectué avec le Ford Nugget de Laurent. Le véhicule est bien agencé, bien entretenu et propre. De plus, Laurent a prit le temps de tout nous expliquer et il est ultra disponible par téléphone. Je recommande

Giorgia and Ivan were fantastic hosts. They explained everything thoroughly and were always available to answer any questions we had. The camper was exactly what was expected and equipped with everything you might need. Also, very economical and easy to drive. Highly recommend and hopefully we will be back for more adventures.

We are delighted with our trip around Portugal in Antonio's camper. The camper worked perfectly, lack of air conditioning did not bother us at all, the temperature was perfect. The shower and toilet worked great, the kitchen was properly equipped, we could prepare delicious simple dinners. The camper is not large, which was a huge advantage when parking. The van's rear doors opened, allowing us to watch the sunset from the bed. Antonio answered all our questions and was very understanding and helpful. We highly recommend it!
