Quite new, immaculate van perfect for a trip around the Alps enjoying the beautiful corners you can find around. The van is very well equiped, super comfortable to drive and to sleep in. We only used the inside-across bed, perfect to snug after the exciting journeys and sleep warm and cozy even if having negative temperatures outside. Having a toilet inside and a shower (which we did not use) with hot water to wash dishes after cooking is an absolute must and was an absolute pleasure during our trip. The van itself is super comfortable, easy to drive and powerful to deal with the mountain passes of the region. Hervé was very helpful and patient explaining all the details and possibilities of the van, which was super helpful during the trip. Fully recommended!!

It’s a pleasure to have Eloi and his friend. The renting went basically well. However Eloi forget to add diesel and clean the water before returning. But it all sorted out in the end

The experience with Jakub was great. Respectful guest, pay attention to all renting rules. Van was returned in a great status! Would recommend them!

Kai is a great host, very communicative and friendly, interested in your trip on Fuerteventura and will give you as many suggestions as you need. The van runs well with a fuel consumption of 9lt/100km (very economical driving). Downside I'd say is the fact that the bed sits a bit high and there's low clearance to the roof.

The owners of the venicle, Anna and Miguel are great people who did their best to make our rental experience good. The van vas very clean. They provided 2 sleeping bags, 2 pillows with pillowcases, 1 blanket cover and 2 towels. Kitchen equipment for 3-4 persons. There are removable screens for the front windows inside of the car. If you will rent this van, be a bit careful, because many details of this old vehicle are very fragile. If the lights will not be turning on, just try to play pressing the switcher in a right way and it will work. Be careful with the driver visor - it is not well fixed. If the radio screen will not work in a proper way, try to take out its fuse and put it back again (2nd one from the left at the panel under the steering wheel, close to driver's door). It should help. The sigarete lighter doesn't work, so if you will be navigating with your phone, don't forget a powerbank. But you can charge phones in the back part of the van from the solar panel. The van is not very powerful, it is a bit hard to go uphill, but there is no problem on even roads. The van doesn't have a pover steering, so you will have a chance to get some muskles. But with this van we had great journey from Lisbon to Albufeira then to Monsanto, Sintra and back to Lisbon. Miguel was responding any our question very fast. Thank you, Miguel, a lot for your help and kindness!!!

Superb experience booking with Lionel. A professionally-converted van with all of the amenities we required including cooking equipment (inc. gas) and a shower. He was very informative and eager to assist. I wouldn’t bother booking with anyone else from this area. Thanks Lionel.

It’s been an absolute pleasure. The van was perfectly equipped and in great condition. The couple renting out the cars are extremely friendly and warm people who made sure that we had everything we needed. It was a real pleasure getting to know them. They have us great Tipps on where to travel and secret spots for food. Loved every minute of it ! Will come back!

Well. It was amazing the first 11 days of it. We loved being in an rv. The process of getting the rv simple the payment everything easy. Then our vehicle broke down which would have not been as major issue but INSURANCE with Allianz was the worst. Absolutely the worst. We were stuck for days with hardly any communication with insurance. However yescapa did try their best to support and they played middle man very well. They offered alternatives and were in contact with us the whole time. And the owner was amazing and more helpful then the insurance even though he was many countries away.

We rented Nazarès vintage camper van for two weeks and had an amazing time! It brought us safely through all of Portugal and gave us just the vibe we wanted. Easy driven van that runs smoothly, equipped with everything you need for a few weeks on the road. The seating area is easily converted into a bed that fits two people, the fridge kept our food cold and the kitchen made it easy to cook along the way. The van is really cosy, and makes for a great comfortable home. It has a good size that makes it easy for parking and going through city's, while you can still fully stand up inside. Nazaré is super nice and very easy to rent from. She was really helpful with tips along the way, always reachable by WhatsApp and overall a great host. The handover of the van went super smoothly, and Nazaré was really flexible. We decided to rent the van for an extra day, which was no problem at all. Very happy with our time in Portugal and renting the vintage camper from Nazaré was the best choice. We highly recommending doing the same if you wanna experience Portugal by van. Thank you so much!

Franci is very fast responsive fella for any and many questions we had prior of our arrival to fuerteventura. He is really responsible and caring person. On arrival he gave us very good instructions about his Furgo and made us sure not that it will serve us well but also if any troubles to not hesitate and ask him for help. I must say we had great trip and first time camper experience in Canary Islands. Furgo did not let us down for the whole time there. We would do it again. Overall, the van is well equipped with basic needs for wild camping, great options for outside/inside shower ( great size of water tank ) chemical toilet, sink, gas cooker, all kitchen utilities, outdoor bbq, solar powered van so unlimited power to your devices, great size of fridge/ freezer, comfortable bed and lot of storage in over head compartments as well underneath the bed. And on top of that loads board games to have fun on the beach as well in van. We wish Franci and Furgo many happy clients and safe journeys. Sasha and Paul

We've been to Tenerife a few times, so now we wanted to come just to have a short adventure with a vintage camper. We first wanted to rent Wendy, but it was already booked so Monia was nice to rent Tommy to us. The car was just as described, tricky to drive but so eye-catching. We drove around south, avoided crowded hours (since 2nd gear was a bit hard to find). For hot weather it's not a problem to take the shower outside, but we didn't use soap. Personally I wished for a chemical toilet, since not so many restaurants are open in the morning. Otherwise, it's a nice experience to have such a small home with you everywhere you want to go. Tommy and Wendy have so much value being so old and in working condition. It's a MUST experience in a lifetime and Tenerife is such a perfect place that combines beaches and nature.

This team is amazing!The owner supported us with information and corespondation all the way through renting process until we got the car, dispite he had one of the most important moments in his life going on during that time. He's friend picked up us with our heavy luggage from port and took directly to the place where the caravan was. Same thing happened after we returned the vehicle and wanted to move farther to another iland. Very nice and helpful people!The car itself is quite new and well preserved. However inside, for example, the dashboard does not look as modern as from the exterior, but as a whole it doesn't give the feeling that it's made form cheap materials. Beds are comfy, it has basic daily use equipment, even chairs for outside, everything you need realy. It's quite maneuverable for its huge dimensions (turning angles + rear camera) and nimble as well, it accelerates to about 60-80 without a sweat, rest depends on wind conditions and slope steepness. The only con I can mention was the refrigerator. If I'm not mistaken it works on 12V which, in addition to lack of campings with external power supply available on Fuerteventura, makes difficult to keep things cold inside. Fortunately, the battery alone has a large capacity, so it lasts a long time.Overall what you get for such low price it is a bargain if I ever seen one. Highly recommend this company!
