Baptiste was an exceptional host. His van was clean, comfortable, functional, and as-advertised. He was friendly and easy to reach with questions. I would definitely rent his van again!

Unfortunately, the rental of this van proved to be our only sour experience in Spain. If you rent, we hope the condition has changed since our rental. You should also expect to incurr in extra costs and deal with a difficult owner ! We bumped the bike rack and fully admited to doing so and the owner brought up claims of us having ruined many other existing issues with the van. Fortunately we had pictures and video to prove otherwise and were not liable. Make sure you take plenty of pictures and video. The seats were stained, the tarp was rotten and full of patches, the speakers were dangling and rattling from the doors, the van was dirty, sticky and smelly from the previous trip, parts were broken, the stove was severely chipped, the bike rack was held steady with a bandana, parts were missing and or broken, etc.... The van was clearly not worth the rental cost. The camper goes through oil like crazy. According to the owner he added 3 liters of oil after I had refilled it during the trip. This was a 5 day trip, in which we used the vehicle 3 days. We sometimes felt we would be stopped because of the smoke, and thought maybe engine would die. The owner was not present upon delivery of the vehicle. We found this unprofessional. I would use Yescapa again, but we would never, ever rent from this proveyer again, and cannot recommend him. There are plenty of vans on the market, His second to last reviewer expresses the type of guy you will be dealing with. If you have 3 positive reviews out of more than 11 rentals, this tells somthing. We learned the hard way. Best of luck

I highly recommend Rui and his campervan. Rui was very helpful and flexible with arranging the handovers and providing information. The van itself is a classic in more-or-less original condition. This means that you need to accept a few squeeks and you have to put some effort into the steering. On the plus side, it is sure to put a smile on your own face and most passers-by. It has all the necessary gear to keep you supported for a week or more and we (tall Dutch people) slept well on the bed. The trip took us over highways and unpaved roads to the beach. The van held up really well throughout.

It was our first RV experince, but for sure it`s not going to be the last. The RV was exactly like it was described on Yescapa. It`s an older RV, but so perfect, and so interesting to drive it. It has everything you need inside, everything works, very clean and confortable. The owners are very friendly, and they helped us when we had some questions during our trip. Overall it was an amazing experience, Portugal is the perfect country to visit with an RV, and i recomend Pedro`s RV if you want an old school RV experinece!

Yvonne and Peto are a lpbely couple and were amazingly accommodating from the very start. They were available to answer any questions or worries during the booking process and were helpful with tailor made recommendations of van friendly destinations around the island. The van itself is a beauty and very comfortable and well kept. You will have a great experience with it. We certainly did!

I don't normally leave reviews. However, Brendan is worth a mention. Straight forward, accomodating and easy to work with. As well very generous. If you are looking for a good experience hire with Brendan

Alexis and family were extremely punctual and looked after the van as if it was there own, helps that Alexis does drive a transporter often. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to other renters. thanks stephen

Thanks for letting me use your van, Paulo! Could not have asked for a better time. Had no problems and really liked all the gizmos/gadgets that the van had. Also, thanks for helping me throughout my trip with all my questions. Really appreciate it. Hope to see you again.

My son and I had a great trip in the van. The owners were super helpful and communication was great. All my questions were answered promptly and Julie also provided lots of extra van life advice. The vehicle was fun to drive with lots of pep and was just the right size for the single tracks of Wales, The Lakes, and Isle of Skye. The team at Yescapawas also very proffessional and helpful. All in all it was a great experience and would highly recommend this rental. Thanks again to the owners for sharing "Horace" with us, he's a champ !

The white buddy carried us through the mountains and beaches with no issues at all. The car was clean and equiped with all that you might need for a weekend trip. We had jaw-opening dinners cooked in the van and eaten just outside in front of spectacular panoramas of Mallorca’s nature. David was a wonderful host, and we had an absolutely amazing journey and liked every second of it in the van! Thank U!!!

Thank you so much for returning the van in such clean condition, it really is appreciated! I have investigated the issues that you raised with the water ingress and found the issue which has now been resolved, Scotland has the ability to throw some interesting weather our way. Many thanks

Thank you so much Thierry, and a special thank you for the photographs! Really pleased that you had such a great time touring Scotland and the Lake District and can't thank you enough for returning the van in showroom condition....we had renters collecting the van the next morning, I needed to check inventory and nothing else!!!!

Génial ! Première et excellente expérience en Van. Lily est super dispo, répond à toutes nos questions. Le van est "tout-équipé", il suffit de ramener son sac à doc et ses réserves d'eau et de nourriture et c'est parti ! Le hamac est un vrai plus (et c'était une bonne surprise :) ).Bref ! Je recommande plus que vivement ! A.U. T.O.P. !

Holger and Elisabete are both very welcoming and helpful. Gave us some useful tips for our trip. The motohome is clean, well equipped and in prefect condition. I went with 2 toddlers, it was great having a well equipped kitchen where I can make proper dinners every night. I highly recommend it and will definitely hire it again. Thanks for renting your mobile home to us.

The van is fantastic. We spent 24 nights in it and loved every minute. Easy to drive, totally independant with the solar power, hot water and kitchen facilities. We travelled with a baby which made it a bit tighter having a car seat, pram, etc etc, however it all worked out very well. Thierry the owner was very friendly and helpful and acted very professionally towards us and the rental. Only recomendation from us is don't bring too much stuff as it doesn't have loads of storage space, however the comfort, ease of driving and modern style make up for it. Thanks for a great time
