The Advantages of Travelling and Living in a Campervan

Travelling and even "living" in a campervan or motorhome is in vogue. And for good reason. The benefits are numerous, especially when experienced firsthand. While some may think spending several days inside a vehicle is a risky venture, it is far from the truth. You can enjoy all the comforts imaginable at a lower cost than renting a car and accommodation, with the added convenience of moving, eating, or waking up wherever and whenever you desire.

In this context, there is a rental company that stands out above the rest. Yescapa, the European leader and specialist in motorhome and campervan rentals in Spain, is the perfect companion for this adventure. Or rather, its hundreds of campervans (camper and large volume) and motorhome models (profiled, alcove, and integral) from which you can choose.

The difference? The more compact exterior dimensions of campervans make them more manoeuvrable and easier to move in tight spaces. Motorhomes, on the other hand, are more spacious but also larger, so it's important to consider this when looking for a parking space. If you're looking for a more compact and practical vehicle, the campervan is ideal for you, just as it was for me when choosing a model.

The rental process, the first step, is quick, easy, and intuitive. Once you've downloaded the Yescapa app, you just need to create an account, enter your main details, upload your driving licence, and a payment method. It's time to find a campervan that suits our needs. Our plan is to explore an island like Fuerteventura with complete freedom, but without neglecting the essentials.

You just need to select the dates, choose the location that suits you best to pick up the vehicle, and arrange with the owner to collect the selected one. Among more than 70 available private vehicles, we found a Volkswagen Crafter, a large volume campervan, perfect for this test. It should be noted that Yescapa offers comprehensive insurance for the vehicle and its occupants, 24/7 roadside assistance, and even guarantees that if the rental cannot start or there is a problem with the vehicle, they will find an alternative and you will receive a full refund. 100% transparency and security.

Almost like an all-inclusive hotel. We found a new, efficient, and capable campervan with everything you need: bedroom, kitchen, lounge-style space, and bathroom. Yes, as you read: hot water shower and toilet. Moreover, the peculiarity of renting from a private individual or a camper company joining this system is that you add, for example, in the kitchen, having a coffee maker, crockery, and basic consumables like oil. In the bathroom, toilet paper or products for the chemical toilet; as well as bedding and duvet for the bed.

Renting a vehicle of these characteristics is as simple as that, tailored to your needs, at a very economical price, and enjoying a few days with all the comforts. And although it may not seem like it, under a manoeuvrable campervan, easy to park and capable of covering miles with ease, I was able to "live" for several days. Even with wheels better adapted to the terrain, such as that of an island like Fuerteventura. You will only need to fill it with water, empty the grey water when necessary, and visit a supermarket. The rest? Enjoy the experience.

In these types of vehicles, you have numerous compartments to organise your luggage, all well distributed. The tables can be folded or stored to make the most of the interior space. In the bedroom, a very spacious double bed with sockets, lights, and storage. In the lounge area, you can eat, play cards, rest, or simply relax.

A kitchen with a stove, sink, and fridge, where you can prepare breakfasts or meals without limitations. And the bathroom, where you can stand fully upright, take a hot shower, and have a toilet. Also with storage.

Not forgetting the boot space. Also quite spacious for storing more luggage and where you'll also have a "camping" area. Folding table and chairs to enjoy even more outdoor living.

The best part? When the experience ends, you simply return the vehicle to the location and time specified in the reservation.

The owner checks that everything went as planned, and there will only be one downside: it's over! Certainly, for holidays or getaways, Yescapa will be your best ally. Easy, fast, secure payment, and with options to find what you truly want or need.
