Communication was smooth, José has been always prompt to answer all the questions we had regarding the pick-up. The van is perfect for a 2-people, very clean and smooth to drive. We spent an amazing four days and never had an issue, definitely recommend :)

Great experience hiring this well fitted and good quality campervan. Perfect for couples. Easy to drive and with good power. It was immaculatly clean and equipped with everything we needed for our adventure on Lanzorote. Used Park4Night app and slept under the stars next to the sea in beautiful locations around the island. Luis and Gene were lovely and perfect hosts. They gave us island information and tips and replied quickly to any questions. They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the bus station. If needed they would have collected/dropped us off at the airport. Would highly recommend hiring this Campervan. Thank you Luis and Gene.

Super expérience avec vissvan! Decouverte de l’île pendant une semaine, van bien aménagé, confortable et conforme a la description.David est resté disponible tout le long de notre séjour pour n’importe quelle question, nous recommandons sans hésitation la location de ce van pour passer un agréable road trip, cependant il était un peu difficile de trouver des lieux autorisés pour vider l’eau grise ( seul petit bémol du séjour ). Si nous devions revenir nous referions l’aventure avec vissvan 😎 Merci David pour ta disponibilité et ta bonne humeur!

Peter and Laura looked after the van and it came back clean and tidy. Would recommend them for renting another van and would happily rent them my van again.

The hire experience went super smoothly. Firouze explained to us all the details about Paca (the van), took us for a test drive and we were on our way to explore Lanzarote

The owner was very friendly and we had a lot of conversations over WhatsApp about recommendations for our stay in Tenerife. David sent me a Google form to find out what we are most interested in in Tenerife and sent us slides full of things specifically tailored to what we wanted. Any time we had questions during our stay there David responded within minutes (if not seconds) and helped us out! David left us a skate, snorkelling kits, board games and other things in the van so we were able to have a lot of fun. We arranged a pick up from the airport to which he was very punctual (arrived before us) and both the pick up and drop off of the van went very smoothly and according to the times of the ady we picked.

We made two new friends: Sherif and Blue Whaly! Sherif is honest, friendly and has time to help you out. His van is older, but a Ford Transit is strong! Whaly took us all the way to the tops of Gran Canaria on the steapest roads without trouble. As long as you serve the car enough oil, it's a happy car. If you're completely a-technical or looking for a luxerous journey: Spend more money on a newer vehicle. If you are an adventerous and have now problem with slowtrippin': BOOK THIS!!

Absolutely brilliant experience hiring this van. Roland was extremely helpful throughout the booking process and easy to contact both beforehand and while we were away in the van. He gave an excellent explanation of all the various components of the van when I picked it up which meant that when we were away it was much more relaxing as I knew how everything worked and how to resolve simple issues re gas, water etc. The van is in really good condition, lovely interior and extremely comfortable (and warm!) to stay in. Great amenities, good cooker, comfy bed and very easy to drive. I would definitely recommend hiring this van - great vehicle and great folks to rent from! Thanks again.

We rent motohomes on regular basis. It is USUALLY not best price to quality ratio .... unless you go for a brand new but then you need to accept higher rates on rental, insurance and deposit. And still it is not perfect => either you get an owner that does twice as many pictures then you prior to handing over you the keys or the equipment is just basic...or an agency that simply doesnt care!What we look for when we decide to select the camper van:1. price/quality ratio / campervan millage / year2. equipement3. contact with the ownerWe travel with our daughter thus it is always demanding to keep the kid busy while driving etc. Here are my answers to the above points1. Safety first....I hate when everything is shaking inside...here you get a campervan with 20.000km and 2yrs old !! with pricing you could not get anywhere in EU (main land). All perfectly sealed and described!2. games for kids with painting cards, blankets, barbecue incl the coal!!!! + 7eur for a parking ticket! ???? WE LOVE IT!3. aultough not fluent in English but fluent in using google translator transcription that worked just perfectly | both owner and his wife are amazing people | we decided to drop the vehicle in a different place that initially we agreed and they even paid the taxi for us to get to the city center! any question, any locational topic I have raised it was automatically replied keeping my head focusing on my vacation We HAVE LITERALLY N E V E R experienced such luxury and "all inclusive" approachWhat happens we do spread the news to all our friends who love this kind of excursions!RESPECT TO THE OWNERS AND THANK YOU FOR THAT AMAZING TIME !!!WE GONNA BE BACK!!!

We had an amazing time in Ana's van. Such a wonderful way to see Madeira and bring in the New Year! Ana was the perfect host, gave us loads of recommendations with ideas for places to stay, eat and her favourite spots around the island. She even recommended the Funchal fireworks giving us a memorable night for New Year. She was very quick at responding to any enquiries or advice, and was more than happy to help. Would highly recommend Ana as a host!

Elena was super nice and friendly. She even drove me to a hospital since I had some injuries while surfing. Her campervan is really great and comfortable!

I cannot say enough good things about this van rental!! First of all, the van was amazing and had absolutely everything we needed for our week-long adventure! The van was extremely clean when we picked it up and the owners took the time to explain everything about the van to us before we left. This was such a wonderful way to see more of the rural locations! Moreover the owners were fantastic, we had some trouble with our train (it didn't stop at the station we planned to get off at) and they came and picked us up at the next station! They were also available for any questions we had while we were driving around and very accommodating for dropping the van back off. Additionally, we should say getting a train to this van from Lisbon was a straight shot and not expensive or time consuming. We loved our time in Mayo the van and would recommend it to everyone! Thanks again so much to Renato and Marta!!

The first thing to say is that we had a good holiday, the idea of visiting Gran Canaria using a Campervan worked well. But this particular van has numerous faults which spoilt our enjoyment somewhat: the gas rings hardly worked, the tap in the sink was broken and the lid missing, the fridge door was not secure, some of the blinds are torn, the bedding was thin (in the mountains it would have been nice if a blanket had been provided), the mats on the floor were filthy. And the outside of the van has many dents and scratches. We would say that this van needs a full overhaul and deep clean before it should be let out again - it was far from what we expected from the description. The attitude of the owner seems to be to perform as little maintenance as possible and leave repairs and purchases to the client, for example when advised that the gas bottle was low and there was no sink plug we were told to buy these things ourselves and be reimbursed. Even things pointed out in previous reviews had not been fixed. If the obvious faults have not been addressed, can we be sure that the vehicle is mechanically sound? The handover and collection are not made by the owner, the person (although pleasant) was not thorough and knows very little about the features of the van - the video provided by the owner was inadequate. Lastly we felt cheated when being asked for an additional 60 euros for agreed handovers at the airport. ****Owner's Response**** I’m glad to hear that you had a good time in Gran Canaria, and that exploring the island with a van worked well. The explanatory video for the use of the van has been considered as quite useful by many many users. Any additional questions and information had an immediate answer. The van is always cleaned before the handovers. The Canary Islands are known for being the “eternal spring”. It is the first time that someone has mentioned that they were cold. This could have been easily solved if something was mentioned. When it was mentioned that the Gad bottle was low, or about the plug. I asked if you wouldn’t mind to do the purchase and that money will be (with no doubts) reimbursed. This was with the idea of not disturbing the holidays for you, but offering the best option you prefer. I offered you the option with which you agreed regarding the pick-up in Las Palmas or at the airport and in the end you did not pay the agreed supplement in the option you chose. I would like to mention that my intention is always provide a pleasant experience to the users, and to solve any possible issue/need that might appear. I take into consideration all the communications and comments made, and mechanical inspections are up to date.

This was a great camper van and a great owner. Very good communication, and the process of pick up and delivery was smooth. The camper has everything you need. I will definitely book this camper again for my next visit in the area :D Driving is easy and problem free. A lot of storage, easy cooking, heat, fans, shower, good bed and dining area.
