We loved this experience! We had some trouble at the outset with the wrong address on the listing but once we got to the right place, Jhon looked after us very well. The camper is BIG and very wide so you should be a confident driver. There was loads of space and we were given great instructions for how everything worked, as we were absolute beginners with camper vans. Lanzarote is great for campers, so many places to see and stop. Jhon recommended the Park4Night app which helped us plan. We would definitely do this again.

This was our first experience with a campervan and because of Sergio it was a wonderful first experience. He is very nice and helpful, responds really quickly to messages. It was a pleasure collaborating with him and his campervan. The van is in great shape, perfect for you people. It's equipped with everything you needs. We really had a wonderful experience and highly recommend it

We highly recommend renting a van from Eduardo. The van is fully self-sufficient, it has everything you need for life while traveling. Clean bedding, towels and kitchen equipment are provided. The bed is very comfortable and good size even for a 186 cm tall person. The van drives very well even on narrow mountain roads. Eduardo is very nice and communicative. He will be happy to answer all your questions and give tips on where to stay on the island. Don't hesitate, just rent a van from Eduardo. ¡Gracias!

Hello, our hire experience was mixed bag overall. Arrived to Lisbon Airport on 26th lat afternoon. It started very smoothly & efficient, motorhome was delivered right to the P3 airport parking. Whole initial process went smoothly, without any fuzz. Since we are experienced with motorhomes, rented many of them over last 10 years, the one we got - Benimar semintegrated, 7,4m, based on Ducato automatic had - theoretically - no surprises & mysteries to us ... Speaking of which they started couple of hours later, when we stoopped at the camping and switched Truma on. There was no gas running, display showed error E517 H. Trouble with gas delivery. We called the owner, she was was generous and informative, started to read / write to us all restart procedure, which was ok, but not very helpfull, since we knew how to deal with Truma system. However, since she was positive, that the gas bottle is full, we followed her instructions and started whole restart procedure. We patiently did many rounds of soft restart (from the panel level) and hard (you have to enter boiler connection under the sitting bench, find a little button next to red flashing (error signal) diode, push it 5 seconds, until red light stop flashing. Then wait. Gas was on for 20 seconds or so, and then again, stopped running. Restart over and over again ... The lady got unpatient at some point (it was late), couldn't do anything more than read the instruction. For our suggestions, that bottle is empty she started to be not so nice, forbade to check the bottle ourselves, etc... at some point wrote sth like "you lie" and "all you say is false.." etc. Situation developed for worse. It was midnight, we gave up. Slept in a cold motorhome (good for the skin :-), without hot water and any heating. On 26th of December . Thank's God it was Portugal ... Next day we started enquiry with the lady again.. Same thing, instruction read, restarts, same result. At some point we decided to double check the gas bottle situation and went to the nearest BP station, with autogas available. We were lucky, meet 2 maintenance gas technicians, who were routine checking station gas filling point. They helped us, examined gas bottle - verdict: it was empty, as we suspected, and outer valve was closed, so gas was not able to run up. I filled the gas, opened the valve and that was over. No more problems for next 10 days. However nothing, no apologies from the lady. Just sth like "you see, I am gald you've managed" .... We thought this is the end of troubles - well, not really. The same evening left hand driving light bulb went off. Again - lady said "not possible, all was checked, it is new, you must did sth wrong, bumpy road, etc. ...." At this stage we did not listened to her much. Just bought new bulb, and replaced it. It is quite easy work in Ducato, we had all basic tools. The rest of of our trip went smoothly. Despite of initial problems, lack of client service skills and real knowledge about the vehicle from the lady owner, we were quite happy from the rental. Motorhome was very comfortable, very good to drive, beds were the best from many rentals we had. Nothing broken, all electricity ports working, no leaks, no broken doors etc. Could be cleaner, I have the impression, that we left it cleaner than received. Well, this is minor thing.. And last thing - lady doesn't speak clear English, it is quite difficult to communicate with her. All communicaton goes via whatsapp and google translate writing, which leads into funny conversations sometimes :-) Overall I recommend this vehicle, when renting you have to take into consideration that you are on your own more & less for the whole trip and relay on your experience. Not recommended for the first-time motorhomers. When coming back to Portugal we will apply for the same one, since now we have a PhD from all this particular vehicle bits & pieces :-) Have fun !

El vehículo estaba un poco descuidado, la puerta corredera estaba desencajada riba muy recia y la puerta del copiloto dejó de abrir en la mitad del alquiler. Nos quedamos sin electricidad varias veces, hasta darnos cuenta de que no cargaban las baterías mientras circulaba el vehículo, reparado por el propietario al segundo día. Nos quedamos sin calefacción porque la instalación perdía gasoil y se descebaba. Vamos, que si no nos manejamos un poco nosotros, estábamos con averías cada dos por tres. Con respecto al propietario, de lo más majo y atento.

Kris and his camper van Isora made our time here in Tenerife amazing! He was there for us at all times and gave us great insider tips & recommendations on what do and where to go. With the camper comes a shower, gas cooker with plates, cutlery etc, a toilet and fridge - so basically everything you need :-) Isora is in very good shape and really fun to drive with! I can only recommend Kris and his warrior princess, thanks so much again for making our trip so special 🤗

it was a great experience

Ivan is very friendly and nice person. No problems with the van or to meet with him. Nothing to complain about at all.

Vitor is an amwzing owner, very kind and ready to help with any question. Our experince with renting was very nice. Motorhome is in very good condition, everything works fine and well maintained. Highly recomend Vitor and his motorhome

Tanausu was a great host; he also provided us with tips and was always open to questions. He will welcome you with a big smile - thanks for the fantastic time!

Helpful owner and good condition motorhome.

Amazing. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. A nice small van for my needs, easy to drive, has adapters to charge any usb, rechargeable lights, everything you need to cook/eat/prepare small meals as well as tables amd chairs. Awesome way to travel the island.

Carlos and Cecilia were very friendly, quick to communicate and easy to deal with.The camper is a bit older but all is totally functional and it does as expected. There are a bunch of additional features that are nice including the oven and the removable drying rack on the back. We didn't use either of the TV's but had we brought some shows or movies on usb sticks we surely would have. The beds are comfortable and the vehicle drives well for its size. We spent 2 weeks going all over the islands and had a wonderful relaxing time. Would rent again if we were to return to Lanzarote!

Renting this complete house on wheels from young and recently started entrepreneur João was a very good choice! The communication with him was very smooth and open. Although the van is already more than 15 years old and with a obviously used look, João made sure that everything on board worked. This creates a perfect holiday on wheels with the option to have a warm shower and fine toilet facility indoors… again for us the perfect price/quality ratio (if you want a bit more affordable!) To have a good night sleep we needed the extra tent conversion (as on the photo) but also that was easy to set-up (in less than 5 minutes) and didn’t bother us at all. we want to thank you João and wish you all the best with Madeira on Wheels!

Il van di Eric ci ha accompagnato per 10 giorni in lungo in largo per tutta Fuerteventura. Motore pieno di potenza in qualunque stato,sterrato(c’è ne è tanto), salita, ciottoli. Copertoni da sterrato ammortizzano e danno aderenza anche su sabbia e sterrato senza aver mai avuto bisogno di inserire il 4x4. Stabile, deciso, sicuro, sempre efficiente di batterie grazie anche al pannello solare. Legname interno del mobilio ben fatto, resinato rivestito e tagliato chirurgicamente garantendo solidità a tutta la struttura! Ben coibentato con i pannelli a ventosa montabili su i vetri. Letto largo e abbastanza lungo (io 1,87 cm ho dormito benissimo). Frigorifero efficiente ma piccolino come tutti i frigoriferi trasposrtabili. Cucina a scomparsa posteriore comodissima se il fuco funzionasse più forte!! C è molto vento sull’ isola e una fiamma bassa non riesce a stare accesa. Portapotty ok se si decide di utilizzarlo. 2 Sedie regista chiudibili fondamentali!! Lenzuola asciugamani set posate e cucina completi perfetti. Doccia e pulizie fattibili all’ esterno, quantità disponibile 16lt prima di dove ricaricare i bidoni che fanno da tanica. Con 8 lt ho fatto shampoo e doccia. Per chi avesse esigenze di vivere l interno per un lungo periodo, per esempio per lavorare smartworking, non è il massimo essendo un po’ bassino all’ interno, ma se dovesse essere il caso solo di qualche giorno allora non c è alcun problema, sdraiati oppure con sedie e tavolino fuori dal van cambiando scenario ogni qualvolta lo si voglia!! Grazie al van di Eric abbiamo trascorso giorni stupendi e comodi a Fuerteventura, eravamo in compagnia di altri 5 van e il nostro, che dalle foto di yescapa sembrava magari meno attraente,era il migliore di tutti.

Everything was perfect with Veronica, they took care of our motorhome and left everything clean & tidy. We are looking forward to host her again and totally recommend them as guest!

I had a fantastic experience renting my van to Angelika. She returned the van in impeccable condition, demonstrating great care and responsibility. Her punctuality and adherence to the rental guidelines were commendable. I would highly recommend Angelika as an excellent renter to anyone looking for reliability and respect for their belongings.

George and his family treated the vehicle with the utmost care and left it in immaculate condition. Communication was smooth, and they were punctual with the return. I highly recommend George as a responsible and considerate renter.

Perfecto

It was an absolute pleasure renting to Iurii and Alexandra! They were punctual, reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our campervan during their trip to San Sebastian. Iurii had previously owned a T5 and so was already well-versed in the practicalities of our T6, which made handover simple and trouble-free. We would be very happy to see them again, and would highly recommend them to other owners.
