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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 🙂
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
Wow.Peter at Hire a Hymer ,was so patient and helpful to us when we were planning our big holiday from New Zealand. We emailed back and forth so much,Peter answered every query and offered more info when we picked up Smithers the 6.6 Hymer.Smithers served us well around Europe and Uk never missed a beat.Very comfortable to drive and the beds great too,had all the comforts from home.For 6 weeks our home away from home.Highly recommend Peter and his team and the reliable Hymers to give you a Holiday to remember.Thanks Heaps From the Dean Family
“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
