5We had a really good time with the van. Some things to pay attention to since it’s an older car, but Richard was very nice and always very responsive. Overall, well equipped, we had everything we needed for 10 days on the island.

5I fell in love with the wonderful old car, the sound of the engine, the functionality inside and the relaxed way of driving not more than 80-90 km/h. Richard, the owner of the car, was very friendly and relaxed and always available during our 2-week-tour. I can fully recommend renting his pretty old lady 😍.

4Our experience with Richard was great. Seamless. Always got right back to us when we contacted him. He has taken very good care of his old van. The van ran like a top. Reasonable gas mileage and burned very little oil. Easy to shift and maneuver in tight spots. We found the bed to be comfy. Doors, latches and windows worked well but everything had to be used carefully. We found that the fridge worked best with the addition of ice in a container. Levelling blocks and a stepping stool into the van would be helpful additions. The solar panel is a great addition to the vans systems but we found that it made the pop top heavier than expected. We found that it was much easier with an extra hand. This would be a 5 star review if not for the weight of the pop top.
