Trustworthy and nice couple. We kept the contact easily during the stay and they brought us a clean van back. Thank you

Everything was well managed from start to finish. Roo told us what to expect of the van. She has fuelled up and filled with water. The van was lovely and clean. All bedding etc as well as tea coffee etc. a great little can for our festival trip. Bed was comfy and fridge big enough to keep our essentials in.

Had the pleasure of renting this Van for Boom Festival 2023, and it was a great expirence. Having never rented a van before i was a bit nervous about renting a van in a different contry, but this turned out to be no problem at all. Very friendly owner and a nice review of everything before we went on our way, everything worked and it was quite a fun ride, beeing an "old lady" as the owner presented it to us it surely was, but it made our adventure alot of fun. Would recommend this owner and van to anyone :)

This was the worst experience we have had with Yescapa by far!! The vehicle was unfit for hire but we were without any alternative. The van itself in no way represented the photos provided by the owner - it had multiple previous external panel damages that had not been repaired properly. The Check Engine light was on at pickup and the owner tried to explain it away as a damaged parking light (no globe in the broken fitting). There is a large chip in the centre of the windscreen which is expanding and will eventually cause the whole windscreen to shatter. The right hand side rear indicator intermittently failed due to previous damage and caused several near accidents from vehicles and Trucks behind us when turning. I needed to pull the rear indicator assembly apart 14 times during the rental period to reseat the globe so that it would function. There was no rear vision mirror fitted and the reversing camera didn’t work. I questioned this with the owner and she replied that it worked sometimes - it didn’t work for the entirety of our rental. The front tyres of the vehicle were worn to the point that they required replacement. The internal cleanliness of the van was totally ignored by the owner - we found a babies dummy and used cotton buds under the main bed above the cabin, amongst other dirt and grime. The seat cushions and the driver and passenger seats were stained and smelly - they had not been cleaned for a very long time (if at all) and had certainly not been sanitised as required prior to the Rental. The rails for the internal curtains had screws missing and was barely hanging on. The internal heater had been destroyed, presumably by previous clients, and when we asked the owner about it, she shrugged her shoulders and said it doesn’t work. The external awning was “fixed” with cable ties and again the owner said it was broken - she gave us a beach umbrella and said, “this will work in its place”. One of the previously damaged / unrepaired external panels broke off in our first 2 days, somewhere along the road.

The hosts were very professional and accommodating, as it was a last minute trip they went above and beyond by allowing me to pick up after hours, the Motorhome was absolutely spotless, easy to use equipment a good comfortable drive, it’s my only second time driving a motorhome and by far the best experience I would definitely recommend 10/10

Highly recommended, an absolutely lovely couple. A pleasure to deal with and on return of the van you'd never have known they'd used it. Thank you, hope to see you again.Sam and Emma

We had an amazing trip with Nathalénes van. She was super friendly, replied very fast, and very easy to communicate with. The van is really cool. You can feel that Nathaléne has cared for the details, and built some really cool things, such as a water pump, a solar panel on top to charge a battery. The battery can be used to charge phones, camera, and other devices. The van has foldable chairs and table for meals outside. The van is strong and managed trips through mountain passes. It drives really well. It also has cruise control. We rented a bike rack from Nathaléne, which enabled us to bring our road bikes with us, which was really nice. 🤩 We brought our own blanket, which was nice when we slept in the mountains. The van also has heating. And it has insulation.

The owner, David is a very friendly and helpful guy. He responds to messages quickly and stays in touch during the rental period to aid if needed. The car is cute and practical, but it is a 20 year old vehicle and has some wear and tear on curtains and windows. The beds are spacious and comfortable and the kitchen works well. The car handles well on the road in spite of it's age and weight. All in all a very good experience.

Peter was fantastic to deal with, extremely helpful and very generous. The camper van is very well presented and has everything needed for a great holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter and his van to any prospective renters.

The communication with Ricardo and the rest of the OM Free team was great! They were very responsive, helpful, and available both before and during the trip to help. The motorhome itself is exactly as it is described here on the website and everything was working perfectly. The motorhome looks a bit "retro" on the pictures but it's in perfect condition, has all you need and drives very smoothly. It is constructed in a very efficient way and has many cupboards to store stuff. We were 4 people and I would recommend sleeping in it with max 4 people (2p above the driver's seat and 2p in the bunk beds) so you don't need to transform the sofas into a sleeping bed. The pickup location of the van is at 25min drive by Uber from Lisbon Airport. All camping gear that you need is provided in the motorhome: bed sheets, towels, basic kitchen utensils, foldable table & chairs, USB connections to charge electronic devices, radio, etc. We're definitely coming back to Portugal to rent the motorhome !

We had a few issues at the beginning with a previous campervan owner that had to cancel our rental - only few days before leaving. We thought we would never find a campervan as there were not many options and the prices were quite high. We found Raquel's van 1 day before our trip and she was the only one who accepted our request (immediately). The rental went very smoothly after . Thank you for the wonderful experience
