A+ Friendly and punctual. Left the camper clean, tidy and undamaged. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience hiring Pablo's very well equipped and comfortable van. Pablo was very helpful and easy to communicate with.

Very good hirers very friendly and polite and took good care of my campervan, lovely couple welcome back anytime!!!

Lovely friendly couple who looked after my Betty bongo very well 😃

Emmaline and Damian were fantastic hirers, they looked after Annie well and gave her a clean before we picked her back up! We would be happy to let them take her again!!

Ulpiano, Nicole & their son Mateo were really wonderful. Kind, easy going, communication went great :) I highly recommend them and would love to see them again on board :)

Brilliant Hirers, very friendly polite and took care of my campervan very good people a pleasure to speak with and welcome back anytime.

Alejandro was an absolute gentleman for the whole rental experience. Have nothing but good things to say about his handling of the rental and the vehicle itself. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Julie and her family were ideal renters.She communicated well and the van was returned in perfect condition.I would happily rent to them again.

We went on a 9 day round trip adventure from Strasbourg and what a beautiful area of France to visit and such a warm welcome from all. The motorhome was perfect for our needs and with only two people, there was plenty of space. It was very clean and fully kitted out. We received clear instructions at the start of the trip as it was our first motorhome experience. It is a pretty large vehicle and with the camera system with rear view, it made the driving experience easier.Our trip started in Strasbourg, going to Riquewihr, Colmar, Eguisheim, Vosges, Nancy, Metz and back to Strasbourg. A perfect length of trip over 9 days and a variety of different places to visit.I can happily recommend hiring this motorhome from such wonderful and generous hosts!

Hugo and Pedro were super helpful, even picked us up at the airport, and throughout the trip have always been very helpful. The camper is not the newest one, but it had all we needed to have a wonderful time in Portugal.

The while process was simple in hiring "Ellie" .Dave and Julie were so helpful and we cant wait to hire again. The Camper was in excellent condition and a true joy to drive . It has everything you need to go off grid , or you can fully hook up in campsites. Highly recommend !!

I would be delighted to recommend Joris. He is a wonderful individual who took great care of my campervan. There was a small unavoidable accident and Joris sorted things out immediately and with no hassle. A fantastic gentleman. Thank you Joris

Great communication. Van was exactly what we needed! Would definitely book again :-)

Booking experience very easy - owner Nicholas on hand via text or What's-ap both during period before hire and during rental. Vehicle had some very minor issues but for a 50 year old camper-van was in very good condition and very clean inside. Everything needed for the trip was included in the van from plates and cutlery, cleaning equipment, drying cloths etc through to the important things like a corkscrew and wine glasses. Also a toilet roll which was quite important on the first day of the trip before we'd gone shopping.As noted there were a few minor issues with the van, 2nd gear coming down through the gears was quite difficult to locate and reverse gear sometimes 'popping out' but the owner Nicholas had advised us of this prior to leaving on our trip.Fuel gauge float not fully functional and would only show 1/2 full tank when fully topped up. Again advised of this before commencing trip and in one respect ensured we filled up tank 'just to be sure' more than needed.Other than that the van ran very well and coped with hills (mountains) and hair-pin winding roads very well.Of note to any future hirers please remember that due to the age of the van out does not have power steering (I now have muscles I didn't know existed) and has a top speed of about 80km / 50 mph. So plan times and distances accordingly. It is really more about taking nice relaxing journeys, taking your time and stopping off for lunches and beaches etc - than quick sprints from A to B. For this it is perfect.It also attracts a lot of attention, people waving, coming over to chat when parked and in one instance being told our van was "so cool" (from a younger person who looked more like they should be driving it that we did !!)Overall once you accept the slower lifestyle and less amenities than a modern camper van 'Lenny' is a very enjoyable, fun experience and way to travel.The owner Nicholas is very helpful and available at all times we tried to contact him regarding either pre arrival, airport drop-offs and during the trip. He also contacted us regularly to check we were enjoying our trip.Top tips for enjoying 'Lenny'1) It does not have power steering and therefore you simply cannot park in tight spaces - you need a little bit of momentum (speed) before you can turn the steering wheel so parking up close to another vehicle involves a lot of small forwards / backwards manoeuvres to get in and out. Much easier on the arms and steering to find a space that is drive in & drive out.2) It has pad brakes (not disc or power assisted) and so has a much longer stopping distance than modern vehicles - start braking a lot earlier than you would it a modern vehicle (better to brake early and slowly than hear your passenger start panicking !!)3) It is a geared vehicle / stick shift (not automatic) so unless you've driven vehicles with a gear stick it is probably not for you.4) It is old - unlike modern camper vans it does not have tv's, satellite dishes, toilets or wifi - etc........ take along some good books, board games for the evenings and enjoy sitting out with a glass of wine or a beer.5) It has a small fridge - go food shopping in small amounts more often, don't buy food for a week and then realise you can't fit it in the fridge.6) Acknowledge that everyone else will be driving faster than you - don't sweat about the car behind being on your tail. They will pass when its safe to do so and in most instances give a wave / thumbs up as they pass because the van is so old and cool.7) Any queries on the van simply text or call Nicholas who we found to be ultra helpful throughout the trip.

Fantastic hire. Clare covered everything. Van was ace and well equipped. Highly recommend.

Great overall experience - lovely friendly people to deal with.

The whole experience was fab !! We are first timers, made much easier given how thoughtful and responsive Kelly is.Lovely motorhome, friends and family were very impressed when rolled up !! Can't think of anything I would change. Perfecto!

The van was excellent and just as described! Diana and Dario were very flexible with our arrangements and happy to answer questions we had, would recommend renting with them.

I would highly recommend renting Joaquim’s van!! The van itself is great- it’s a perfect size for 2 people, it’s fuel efficient, easy to drive and park, and has everything you need. The best part about Joaquim’s van is Joaquim! We’d never driven a caravan before and He gave us a very thorough handover and took the time to explain and run us through everything. He was always super responsive whenever we had any questions once we were on the road. He made our first Yescapa experience a great one ! Thanks again for everything 😊
