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!

We had a great time, but there was a few hiccups. We appreciated: - The layout and set up of the living place. It was very handy, spacious and well put. Cooking was really easy. The fridge works very well. - The comfort of the mattress. We had great night sleeps. - The top gallery was one of the reasons we picked this model, and although we couldn’t sleep in it, we used it as an extra storage space, and it offered us the chance to sometimes stand up (if you place the trap door vertically) - Lots of battery plug options, we always could charge our phones/laptops. We would have appreciated: - It seems like the engine needed fixing. At some point I could not go faster than 30km/h on the highway whenever driving uphill (Joao said this was unusual and he would repair it). - The van was sort of jerking when clenching the 2nd and 3rd gear. - The Radio/CD player was not functionning, I wish we had known that beforehand. - We would have appreciated if the grey water tank had been completely emptied when given the keys. Side notes: I always plan an extra sleeping bag, which came in handy this time because the blanket was a bit too small for the both of us. In summary: the living experience was awesome. We stayed 2 and 3 days on two different spots and never wanted to leave. We felt cosy, at home. But the driving experience was not pleasant because of the engine (I’m used to driving this model) and we had to modify our itinerary. I recommend this Van if you're not in a rush and have lots time planned for your road trip. Joao was helpful and always replied quickly to our messages, even offered to drive us back to the airport.

Kathrin was the perfect renter. She was excited to experience her van life weekend in our van and we were happy to oblige at short notice. Communication was easy and Kathrin was punctual at both handovers. The van was very well cared for. Thank you Kat, enjoy your travels!

We arrived in lisbon, being met by the owner who picked us up, taking us to a safe place and took time to run over the workings of the van. Rafael was super friendly taking as much time as we needed to ensure everything was covered. The van is an older t4 but drove nicely around portugal as we ventured down the coast and back up from the algarve. The owner was amazing meeting us back in lisbon, quickly checking over the van and dropping us back to the airport. We would 100% use them again.

The rental experience with Ylenia was great! She helped us a lot, telling us where to go and supporting us on our whole journey! I wouldn't do it any other way, to be honest. We did, indeed, had some problems with the RV, but it's a car and cars have problems. Ylenia gave as a replacement in no-time and we wet further.

tuvimos una experiencia muy extraña. adrian siempre fue muy receptivo y servicial, sin embargo, vino con una caravana que no funcionaba. no había agua caliente, ni nevera, la electricidad no funcionaba del todo. la caravana nunca se limpió. era como si no esperara alquilarlo ese día. llevábamos 3 niños con nosotros y no había otra solución que llevar la caravana y organizar un servicio en Sevilla para tratar de solucionar los problemas. adrian se encargó de encontrar el servicio y cubrir los costos. pero acordamos que por esos 2 días perdidos habrá un reembolso.
