PETE was brilliant, really great at responding to questions on e-mail & phone. The motorhome (Barney) was great. They were really flexible in the collection and return of Barney, they spent all the time needed to explain the home to us .The home was really clean, smelt lovely. And had everything you could need.He was really supportive throughout our trip, offering advice whenever needed, and even offered to come meet us when we had an issue.Great company, would highly recommend, and we look forward to booking again.

Had a great holiday and Peter explained everything to us before we left.Slight issue arose and Peter was more than fair with us regarding what had happened.Would recommend to anybody and use them again in the future.

We have just finished hiring 3 out of 4 of Pete's vans.We are a group of 9 friends who follow Wales home and away and due to Covid had our trips to Azerbaijan and Rome cancelled. We instead decided on a tour of Wales in campervans in hope of repeating our trip to France in 2016.We found this company online, and from start to finish Pete was absolutely fantastic to deal with.We had previously been stung in 2016 with another company who took our £1250 deposit off us for a rubber seal breaking on a window we had never opened, so as you can imagine we were overly cautious on this trip.Unfortunately however, accidents do happen and I unfortunately reversed one of the vans into a small fence when trying to park, thus damaging the bumper. Pete had said if anything happened to let him know straight away. I was expecting the worst but Pete was unbelievably understanding and helpful with the situation advising how to secure the bumper for the rest of the trip.On our journey home one of my friends accidentally broke one of the head rests on their van, panic set it once again. I messaged Pete and once again he was very understanding and helpful with the situation. When we got back he took a look at both bits of damage, explained the headrest was an easy fix and he wouldn't be charging us and that he would try to sort the bumper for as cheap as he could. He called me later that day to say he had found one on ebay and would fit it himself for nothing. We were over the moon as we were expecting a huge bill. He took the small amount out of our deposit and the rest was sent back to us.The vans themselves are also a step up in comparison to other companies we have used, plates, mugs, cutlery and cleaning equipment are all provided and when we first arrived at Petes all the vans were immaculate.The 4 berth van in particular is out of this world with the white leather furnishings and dark oak finish.Pete and his wife are genuine people running an amazing business that you can see they have a passion for.I would absolutely one hundred percent recommend Hire a Hymer to anyone looking to rent a campervan.There's not many genuine people left in the world but Pete is one of them.Enjoy the beers we left Pete, they're deserved mate and apologies once again for the work we caused you!

I would say Pete is the best option for motorhome hire there is. Absolute lovely camper, great guidance and instructions and at the end of the phone if there was any issues.Slight issue arose and Pete was more than fair with us regarding what had happened.Would recommend to anybody and will definitely be returning

Hired twice from these guys, Peter is a legend, extremely helpful on both occasions. The vans are brilliant and well prepared, coming with everything you need for a fantastic trip. Rock solid and reliable.Have recommend to friends and family and would certainly use again in the future.The vans have plenty of character and are great fun.Very comfortable, providing a great night's sleep and more than capable on the road.Your given a full run down of the vans on pick up and Peter is more than happy to answer questions on the phone if you need during your travels.We we're given a free upgrade as one of the two vans we booked was involved in an accident and although just repaired Peter wanted to double check everything before renting it out.Absolute brilliant service, these guys go above and beyond. Many thanks for a great trip and many brilliant memories.

Great rental at IoW Festival

July 8, 2014

We hired Maggie for the Isle of Wight festival – first camper van experience and all good. Great service from the team at HireaHymer – we had to call with query on electrics and they were very helpful, no problem at all. Definitely will be back.

Bearded Fun

June 26, 2014

An oasis of calm in a very muddy Bearded Theory Festival field. Bart did us proud providing a pleasant environment. He allowed us to suffer the weathers slings and arrows in comfort – and hauled us out where most others had to wait for a tow out. We shall return. The HaH team are lovely peeps to do business with to boot.

To Le Mans with Lisa (oh and the wife)

June 22, 2014

The 3 of us, Lisa, my wife and myself went through Normandy, and down to Le Mans and back without any problem, including 750 kms in a single day. Lisa has character to spare, and never played up or was difficult, which as newbie’s to camper vanning was much appreciated. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and the benefits of driving a LHD camper on the Continent is immeasurable. Pete was a pleasure to deal with, I don’t think I’ve ever hired any vehicle with less hassle. Thks Pete, see you next time.

CORNBURY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2014 (3rd time in a row)

June 22, 2014

Once again a big thank you to Peter and the team for letting the family Filleul take Nelson to Cornbury. These Hymers are just a wonderful relaxing way to enjoy a few days away. Even how it works and what all the knobs and switches do were all explained. A brilliant weekend (again) and we will be back again next year. Love you all.

Download Festival

June 19, 2014

This was the second year that we used Hire a Hymer for Download Festival. Hire a Hymer were once again brilliant from beginning to end – we were able to arrange a flexible, early collection from them as the vans weren’t out the night before.They are really easy to drive, and for their size, pretty easy to manoeuvre.Everything worked perfectly (and as we were a bit more seasoned with it being our second time with them, we knew what we were doing a little more!)We only had one reason to call ‘base’ for a query on the electrics, and once again Peter was really helpful in providing assistance.We returned the vans, collected our cars, transferred our gear and off we went – so simple! And our deposits were returned in full and very promptly.I don’t want to sing their praises too highly as I want to make sure there are Hymers still available for us for Download 2015!Good work guys, and huge thanks.Graham

First class holiday

June 9, 2014

Pretty much like the last review really, I know that these guys will sort out any niggles for future users. Nothing that caused us any great drama’s. We had a perfect time, 4 sites in 6 nights. I loved driving the vehicle and we both found the drop down comfortable. Possibly an addition of silver screens for the cab would be a good idea, as the early morning light was waking us up at 4 and 5 o clock. Or is that the idea. The whole experience was fun, beginning to end.

Response from Hire a Hymer

We have some screens hiding away – I will put them in the vans. Glad you had a great time.

Fantastic !!!

June 1, 2014

Hired Moe for the Bank Holiday weekend and had the most fantastic time, despite the weather. Peter was great, very helpful and spent time walking us round Moe and explaining everything. The trip itself was easy, although the Motorhome was very big it was automatic so not too bad to manoeuvre as didn’t have to worry about gears. Did about 300 miles on £70 worth of petrol which surprised us. The motorhome itself was clean and had every facility we required. Would definitely do it again. Thanks to everyone at “Hire a Hymer” Fantastic holiday and well worth the money 🙂

Great Value

May 29, 2014

We hired Lisa for a three night break , she’s a bit worn but that only added to the enjoyment. The drop down bed is super comfy and the van was clean and had plenty of storage. We would definitely hire again. Thanks to the friendly staff for making our first Hymer adventure a great one

Marge The Barge

April 27, 2014

“Marge” – More like full fat butter! Affectionately known as “Marge the Barge” the old girl dun’ good! What can I say – an old lady but actually just in her middle age; Never a looker, age has taken its toll, but she knows what she is, what she has and how to use it – and does it well. I’m not sure whether we got admiring glances or those of astonishment but she definitely has presence; not a VW van but in a class of her own. She’s well built, yes a bit over-weight and under-powered, but who can’t say that! Top heavy but that can be an asset – right? Takes a bit of planning on the road – more like navigating than driving! Corners need to be taken sedately else the old girl will behave like a whale, plan those gear changes and watch out for hills! I’d compare it to being in a canal boat – you just have to chill out and take your time – the rear view mirror is irrelevant – what’s behind you does not matter! Forget the fact that the gear box takes a bit of getting used to – like throwing a stick up an alley but you’ll get used to it! or the brakes are like driving Fred Flintstone’s car! I don’t want to stereo type either, but that sat nav! Don’t leave navigating up to her! All that said she’s a good ‘un for sure, built for comfort not for speed, she’s got all the buttons, you just need to know which ones to press and when! She will respond – although it may take a while, but when she does she will go all day long and ask for more. And watch out for all her little foibles; the squeaks and duck noises she makes when you really get her going. What more can I say – she took the two of us comfortably and they say she’ll take 3. A great week
