Ana and Felipe were very sweet and communication with them was just as smooth as possible. The car is cute and comfortable and me and my friend Dominika enjoyed the journey around Andalusia. We felt really safe and also supported so in case of any problem Ana and Felipe were always available to answer. I would highly recommend renting the car with these fellows as you will make the most out of it. You have everything you need including equipment for camping.) Thank you once again, we hope to come again xx

This was our third renting with Yescapa. The 2 first were big 7.5 meters caravancars and this time we tried a 6 meters camper 21 days! The experience was amazing. The Camper was well equiped and functional. It's obvious that there is less space but the parkings and overall driving is easier so it worth it.

It was our first camper experience.We rented Daniel's camper for 17 days and came to the conlusion to buy our own camper as a result :) Family of 3 persons: 2 adults and our 3-y kidSo, our review looks like this.The main point - this is a home-made camper, that leads to some specific behavior.Pros:0. Daniel is Super host! It was a pleasure to communicate with him. 1. Quite big camper with shower and toilet2 External stove, convenient to move it out of camper (if needed)3 Linen and camping furniture included!4 Quite easy to park, back camera!5 Fully autonomic due to solar panels6 Outside shower is a cool feature (especcially after beach)7 Fuel consumption!Cons:0. Upper bed has really small height, it was NOT convenient to sleeep there (I had to) Lower bed is ok for 2 people lower 1.80. Upper one is even shorter, however I slept alone in a diagonal position (I am 1.79) There were some sharp nails in the ceiling. I asked Daniel to fix it. There is no barrier for the upper bed, so it is not safe for kids1. non-built-in toilet with a reduced capacity2. Stove with just one cooking place (slows down travelling due to more waits)3. There are some holes due to home-made camperization, hence our son was able to throw there cell-phone and some other goods. Daniel quickly helped us to bring back cell phone from the motorhome's hole (hopefully, we were nearby Malaga)4. Space allocation is not super effective (some areas are for equipment usage, from our point of view - they may use fewer space)5. There is no cruise control (looks like the issue for the campler base van model itself)6. Speed limitation - 90 km/h (not 120) - based on camper's certification, so you will be bypassed by many cars ;) )7. Looks like front lamps need to be tweaked and bring lower dipped headlight (many front cars were 'complaining' on my dipped headlight in the dark time) 8. Bad allocation of air heater (you have to set it in the night on the wall to the right of inside seats, otherwise it is possible to break it by leg occasionly)9. Bad allocation of the water heater (you need to open a shelf upder the bed to click switch, not a good idea if you child is sleaping)10. Back table has not fixed front-back movement positions on the rail (just carry on / off)11. Not so easy front-seat rotation due to custom setup (but possible)12. Heating system has just the only output in the middle of the van, but possible to program it for the higher temperature to compensate :) 13. There is NO child seat, we had to buy a booster ourselves (15 eur in Carefour). Daniel decided not to buy it from us for the next renters with kids ))14. Back seats are not convenient for long ridesIn general, I would recommmend to rent Daniel's van, just pls pay attention to some limitations.There is NOTHING critical that prevents renting.I believe, Daniel will fix some of them. Others are just specific features and might be trated as minor/medium issues (not critical)In general, as I told, Daniel is improving his camperization skils and his next almost ready camper looks much more better with the fixes for the cons in my list (and more expensive :) )AS for us, we would rent this van one more time (especially if Daniel fixes issues:#1 barrier for kids#2 replace / one more stove#9 - external switch to prevent bed's shelf opening

Tiago was amazing -- extremely responsive, flexible about pickup and drop-off locations and times. The van was great. It drives well, seemed fuel efficient, spacious for two people. We never hooked up to electricity or water supply, so I can't attest to the functionality of those systems. We brought our own solar shower bag which we used for dish washing and showering, and that worked great. We used the Park4Night app to find water, dump sites, and safe, quiet parking - was more thorough and updated than Caramaps that comes with the Yescapa rental, fyi. Extremely affordable, flexible, and efficient. Would recommend.

Everything was great- the car was extremely clean and was well thought out/designed. The owners were very helpful and easy to connect with. Would only recommend bringing an extra fuel for your trip if you plan to cook a lot - we were not sure where to find a replacement

Really great van and rental experience. We used both the beds, and even in strong wind and rain we were warm enough. The van is well set up and simple to use.

All went well EXCEPT for the deposit return, which after three month is still not returned. Owners try to steal every Euro from you, therefore read well the contract and the rental conditions. The motorhome was handed over with about 10l Diesel missing, I had to fill it up to full, another 100euro to the owners. They did not even bother to thank for the gift...

I rent a camper van for the first time, and I'm really happy with the experience I had. Ana is a nice and helpful person. She is always available to answer any questions you have along by the trip. The camper van is really well built and you have everything you need on board. The advantages of the van: 1. Comfortable bed. 2. High roof, you can stand up to full height. 3. Tap water. 4. Storage at the back if you have any suitcases or other gear.I spend amazing 🤩 9 days and nights in the van. Thanks a million, Ana💕 A little advice 😉: Drive it slowly - Enjoy the views!

Philippe was a pleasure to rent from. He was easily contactable and very kindly offered to pick us up and drop us back to the airport. When we had an issue with the gas, his son Leo had the issue promptly addressed. They are a lovely family and I highly recommend them to future renters.

It was amazing! We booked the campervan for almost 2 weeks. We drove from Barcelona to France & Italy. The campervan is great, very well designed and it had everything we needed! I quickly got adjusted to driving it, even thought I didn't have experience driving vans. It's very comfortable to sleep in, the bed is very good. Cooking is very easy as it has 2 gas stoves + a large fridge. Lots of storage space throughout. We travelled with 1x big trolley + 1x cabin trolley + 2x backpacks which they all fitted in.Pick-up and handover was very easy and they have been very responsive and assisting us with any questions or help we needed.I totally recommend this!
