    Very friendly and efficient communication. Weve never stayed in a campervan before so as a first timer, we had a brilliant time! We would definitely hire it again! Thank you so much! X

    Really enjoyed using the van, easy to drive, economical, and the pop up hood made the experience even better. John was really helpful and prompt with any questions we had. The van had everything we needed and was clean and comfy, to the point I didn't want to hand it back and now would like to purchase my own when i can afford too.

    We booked this campervan to travel the Scotland NC500 route. From the start communication was excellent and very accommodating. A very thorough walk through of all the vans actions and accessories. Van was fully equipped with almost everything thought of and supplied. No problems at all with the van and a quick, smooth handover on the last day. Fully recommend hiring Herdy for your adventure.
