Yescapa Community Reviews

Fabulous! The van was spotlessly clean and kitted out with everything we needed for a week away. We couldn’t work out the reversing camera but TBH that was probably my lack of tech savvy!

My friends and I had a wonderful time driving from Faro along the south coast to the East. Audrey and Jorge are wonderfully polite and kind hosts and their van was perfectly suited for our needs. Ample electricity to charge devices, comfortable, warm in the nights and cool in the days, overall, we really couldn’t fault this awesome experience. Thanks to both of them for an amazing adventure!

First time Yescapa experience so I was a little nervous but I lucked out. He was an exceptional host who made sure that everything was absolutely clean and prepared for our stay. He was available for any questions we had during the duration of our journey. He was extremely keen to answer anything we asked. I would absolutely feel comfortable renting from him many times again. The van itself was in great condition. The engine works perfectly. And obviously has a little slower than faster cars on the highway but I have no trouble driving.

Ariel es súper atento y nos ayudó con nuestras dudas. la Camper esta increíblemente dotada de todo lo que necesites y repetiremos sin duda

Steven was an absolute gent, very polite and kept me up to date with his progress and timings. The van was looked after and returned as agreed.Thanks Steven!

Rented this Motorhome for a week when our first MH was cancelled. As firsttimers, we focused on owners that speak English, since we did not speak French. Unfortunately, the owner does not speak English Even though she claim s to in the ad. Her husbond speaks a little bit, but not enough to be able to explain everything about the vehicle. They live quite a distance from BOD, so be prepared to pay 100€+ in taxi if you arrive that way.  First we had agreed to pick up the MH at 18.00. Which was late for us arriving at 13.30, but the owner was working till then.  But after arriving the owner was delayed 1 hour. So we had to find something else to do for another hour. the owner was not willing to compensate or meet us closer to the AirPort. ( it was hard to get a taxi ).When picking up the MH we had a relatively quick go through. And did not go through everything. The owner had made a video in french, that we could see in advance, but since it was in french we did not get all the details. They had also made an instruction manual in french. All communication from the owner during our rental was also in french, so we had to translate everything each time   We communicated. The MH itself was ok. It is quite big, which makes it a little bit of a hassle to park in central areas. if you consider crossing the border, make sure to tell them this upfront. If not, you are not allowed during the rental. Also be aware that you must clean the MH thoroughly inside and outside before returning it. We got aware of this some hours before the rental ended, and it became quite a hassle. If information was given in a language we understood, this would probably not be such a problem. Finally, at return you must count on approximately 1,5-2 hour session and a thorough go-through. Much more than on departure for us. Of course we ended up with 1500€ extra cost for things we did not go through when picking up the MH. Really frustrating. A bed strap on the bunkbed only used 1 night by my son ( <40 kgs), was somewhere bent. (would never have noticed this Even though we had seen the strap on departure), also a couple of Windows-hatches was not functioning right.  Finally some minor marks from branches ( not visible on pictures before nor after) was "discovered".All these things was charged the deposit, since we had signed but not checked at departure.  costly learned lesson by us. This MH is the ovners "baby" ( as they call it), so be prepared to pay for any minor scratch they may find. We almost got charged for a small sunscreen Stiain, that we easily could rub off. ( you need to document everything at pick-up)****** Réponse du propriétaire******PROPRIETAIRE FUYEZ CE LOCATAIRE!!!! Une location demandée la veille pour le lendemain et nous devons être disponible quand monsieur le souhaite, désolé mais nous travaillons !!Bassens loin de Bordeaux? En TER 7mn donc 100 euros de taxi c’est que Monsieur l’a bien voulu. Le camping-car doit être rendu aussi propre que lorsqu’il est pris ce qui nous semble totalement logique mais pas pour ce monsieur qui nous l’a rendu absolument DEGOUTANT!! De la Waxx partout sur la carrosserie ainsi que sur les sièges, poignet de porte etc…et nous n’avons pris aucun supplément ménage!Donc oui lorsque nous voyons que les sangles des lits superposés sont cassés et que les ouvrants du toit ouvrant le sont également  (alors que tout fonctionnait parfaitement à l’état des lieux de départ), nous déclarons un sinistre et cela prend du temps !! Je ne parle effectivement pas anglais mais mon mari le parle et le comprend parfaitement donc ce monsieur est tout simplement de mauvaise foi!!

The owner (Julien) is very kind, positive, helpful, and responsive. 

Keith was very quick to respond to messages and flexible on collection/return times. Great camper van, easy to drive and everything you need as described.

The van and Lorto the owner made this trip to one we won't forget. It was perfect and cozy, with all the equipment needed for travel around Spain! We definitely recommend this van.

We had an amazing experience!! The camper van was equipped with everything, Lizi and Alex thought about every little detail!! They were available for any doubts we had as well, very friendly couple! We were travelling with two small children (5 and 2), and it was comfortable for all of us, and easy enough to set things up that we managed to do it even when the kids kept badgering us to “hide in the super high bed”. Our oldest was actually disappointed to go back to her normal bed back home 😂We highly recommend it and we are going to rent it again for sure!!

Felicity and Jo were fabulous. They were very easy to deal with and looked after the van very well. This was our first rental experience ourselves, as owners, so we are very happy.

Brenda and her family were perfect renters. Communication was clear and easy building up to and during handover and their enthusiasm for the van and their experience was fantastic! Thank you Brenda & Daniel :)

This van turns heads everywhere she goes! There are some quirks, but I drove a vintage VW when I was (much) younger so I got the hang of it quickly. Let it warm up and you’re good to go. She handled mountain and country roads, no problem. It was an adventure driving this van. She doesn’t go fast, but she has heart! Pedro is super nice, responds quickly to messages. Don’t forget to ask about the daily insurance, which is not included in the Yescapa price!

We had a fantastic trip in Piotr's camper van. While it is an older model, it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I was nervous about driving a larger vehicle on Scotland's narrow roads but sitting up that high made the job easy. Piotr made sure we understood everything about the camper before we left and checked in with us during the trip to make sure we were ok. it was a bit more camper than the two of us needed but meant we had lots of room. Thanks Piotr for a great vacation!

Incredibly easy reservation and speedy replies! That made the entire process very convenient

Everything with the rental went as we expected. Luis was very nice and flexible. He brung the RV to Peniche from Leiria, which made our trip a lot smoother. We wanted to extend our booking during our trip. It was easy with Luis, he answered all our messages quickly and the communication was clear and easy. We didnt have any problems with the RV. There was everything that you need for a nice trip. We highly recommend to rent Luis’s motorhome for your trips!

Gil's campervan was brilliant, it has everything you could need. Very comfortable to sleep in with lots of space inside. It's an old van but it drives great. Gil was incredibly helpful, made it our trip very easy even picking us up from the airport despite delays in our flights and was available to contact with any issues during the trip as well. Couldn't be happier with the experience! 

We were incredibly satisfied with our trip in Pedro's van. The car was good to drive, neat and tidy, had a comfortable bed, nice interior, and everything else you would need for a good trip. Pedro is a very nice guy, helpful and genuine, and he gave us really good trip suggestions. Thanks!

Renting through Mr. Vancamper was an incredible experience. Rita was extremely helpful when introducing the van to us. She thoroughly went over every detail to make sure we were confident and ready once on the road. 4 of us lived more than comfortably in the van for 4 nights. It brought us all closer together as a family. Great on gas, we drove from Lisbon down the coast of algarve and back and only filled up once. I couldn’t recommend renting through Mr. Vancamper more if you’re ever traveling around Europe. 

Great couple , excellent communication , they took care of the camper . Recommended !
