Van de Road Campers - (Pro)

Hello! me and my friend spent 2 great weeks on the road with this van.

It is comfortable, new, clean, easy to drive; great sleeps (in front of the ocean), great dinners.

Ricardo and his wife are two helpful and very nice people.Everything was perfect, thank you so much.

See you soon ;)

The van was great for our 10 days trip trough Portugal! Although it was not too much space to sleep for two people it's a very cozy and well structured van with everything we needed for our vacation. Also because of it's size it was easy to drive and to get wherever we wanted to go. Teresa and Ricardo were great hosts and very helpful people! Thanks for trusting us with our van, we will come back! :)

We rented the Minicamper for a whole week including a table, 2 chairs, a solar shower and 2 surfboards. The minicamper is something between camping in a tent and a bigger mobile home. It’s surely more convenient to get around with all your stuff, the bed inside, gas stove, etc. in the minicamper, but it has not the comfort of a mobile home. The Martresses could be harder. After a couple days we felt some effects of the wooden slats under mattresses. Table and chairs are highly recommended, since you don’t have much cooking area inside the car. The solar shower isn’t that helpful if you don’t have something around you where to hang it. We actually didn’t use it. The surfboards were brand new, bought by Teresa & Ricardo. If you’re new to surfing or still learning, they work quite good smaller waves. At least, they did for us.

Ricardo & Teresa build the interior of the Camper and manage the rental by themselves. They were very nice and helpful prior to and during the rental. 

All and all, we had a great time with the minicamper during our trip along the Costa Vincentina. 

The owners who we dealt with when renting/hiring this van were really nice and spent time preparing us a map/journey plan for our time travelling along the coast of Portugal which was really nice. They also picked us up and dropped us back to airport for a pretty reasonable cost as well. They were friendly, honest and had a pretty good sense of humour as well so meant the trip started off on a nice positive note.

The van itself was imaccculate - very clean and very tiding inside. Nothing damaged or broken and everything worked well. It comes with an awesome big fridge that is always cold as it is plugged into a separate battery (meaning the starter battery for the car won't go flat). The overall design and functionality of the coooking area at the back, and the bed was really good. 

The vehicle itself was bloody good on fuel, as it is a new car and it is diesel. It handled and drove very well and we didn't have any mechanical issues which was great.

The only downside I would say is that the bed itself was a bit hard, as the matress is a little bit thin, and the pillow were small. We got used to this though and it wasn't a deal breaker.

This van was reasonably priced comapred to others on YesCapa (we believed). 

Note to anyone renting a van in portugal: the cost does add up esspecially the tolls - we accumulated 27 euro worth just on our way back from Lagos to Lisbon!

The owners were decent though and we couldn't find a servo on the way back to fill the van back to its original mark, but they did not charge us a fee - only the cost of the missing fuel which was decent. 

Thanks!

Enamorados de Portugal, y de la furgoneta!

Ha Sido un placer recorrer Portugal en esta furgoneta, fácil de conducir, un bajo consumo y una utilidad polivalente. Tiene de todo, cocina , cama, transporte , fregadero.

Sin duda la recomiendo para una pareja.

Ricardo y Teresa muy atentos en todo momento, fue un placer ponernos en contacto con ellos.

Experiência incível! Amámos em todos os sentidos! A carrinha é super confortável e bem isolada, dorme-se muito bem! Superou as nossas expectativas e queremos muito repetir! Os donos também são fantásticos e ganharam aqui duas fãs!

My girlfriend and I rented the car for 8 days. The car was exactly what we wanted. Small, to get anywhere we wanted and have no trouble with finding parking slots even in cities like Porto. But also really comfortable and absolutely enough space for 2 persons to have a good sleep. There is all you need: bed stuff even for chilli nights, extra battery for your smartphones and cameras and the lights at night (the battery was always charged due to the solar panel on the roof), a little cooking place to prepare some food and coffee, etc. There is also a little fridge that keeps your food and drinks fresh. The car is quite new and easy to drive. It was absolutely clean as it can be. The owners Ricardo and his wife are incredible friendly and helpful with just everything. They gave us tips where to go and we’re also available at any time. You can feel that it’s their passion and so was their service - just perfect

Muito cómodo para viajar principalmente para locais remotos. 

Carrinha muito bem personalizada, uma autentica casa autossuficiente, muito cómoda pois todo o espaço interno transforma-se em cama. Vem toda equipada e pronta para cozinhar. O pormenor dos leds faz toda a diferença.

Recomendo esta experiência para os apreciadores da natureza.

Myself and my wife travelled for a week on the south coast of Portugal with this Camper Van. It was perfect for our needs, light, comfy and easy to drive. We were confident driving either on ground streets and inside cities, parking, etc. It gave us all the freedom we wanted. The inside is tidy and comfy. I'm about 1.80 meters tall and had no issues at all sleeping. The owners provided extra blankets for the cold (which was great since we took only hand luggage with us). The solar panel provides light at night and charge your phone, so you don't have to worry about running out of battery. You can see they've went a great length designing the interior to be as useful and neat as possible. Thank you for such a great job!

Adorei a experiência! A mini autocaravana tem tudo para passar umas férias descontraídas junto da natureza... muito prática de conduzir e económica, que é o que se quer :) Os anfitriões são super e sempre disponíveis. Adorei o conceito! A voltar...
