This was second time we rented from BW Campers and both times
there have been issues with the condition of the vehicle due to its
age. Although Amsterdam is a convenient location for us to pick-
up an RV, I think next time we will use a vendor in Germany from which
we rented a new, VW california model that was well-stocked and
enjoyed our vacation without issue.
The first time we rented a VW California model from BW Campers which was what we
expected, it was an older vehicle but was not checked thoroughly
before we rented it. There were several fuses that were blown,
including the one for the windshield wipers(!) and the other was for
the power outlet for our GPS unit, both of which caused
considerable distress at the time of discovery. This most recent
time we rented we were given a taller top older model van in which
the side windows were impossible to open and close properly and
the van needed a wheel alignment quite badly. The kitchen utensils
were also seriously lacking...not a single knife for cutting was in the
drawer.

We ( wife & self)rented a RV for 28 days Henk Booij at Almere-Buiten some 35 minutes by train from Amsterdam. Henk was very helpful and explained how the accommodation worked. The vehicle was nearly 2 years old and in good condition.We toured Germany and Austria and rarely spent our nights in a fee charging camping grounds.The camp guide book Henk provided gave us plenty of free camp sites to use.

The depot is not a very inviting place and since nobody showed up at the agreed hour, we got a little worried at first. Fortunately, the owner showed up after about 45 minutes after all and it turned out there was just a little mishap during the check-up at the garage. The car was a VW California from 1998 with over 200,000 km on the clock, but there were no major issues during the 5,000 km we traveled through Germany and Italy in the following 3 weeks. The inside of the car was in reasonable state and the advantage of an older car is that nobody cares about an extra stain! It was confirmed to me that the car would have air conditioning, but that turned out to be not the case. Fortunately we didn't really need it anyway, so no big deal. The owner is indeed very nice and all handling was straight forward. It would be nice if he could be reached by handphone though, even though he does react swiftly to messages left on the answering machine. Would I hire from them again: Probably yes, but I would insist on a clear discription of the car, the year it was build and km driven, together with some pictures. Anyway, we had a great holiday.

We arrived from our home in Canada to visit the land of our roots on May 16, 2011. Rene at BV Campers greeted us with a very good sense of humor and a thorough review of features of our camper home for the next 15 days in Europe. We enjoyed our well-outfitted camper very much during our tour of Belgium and the Netherlands. In fact, we have been missing the cosiness and comfort (gezelligheit) of the Ford Nugget and will definitely consider camping in Europe when we go there again in the future.

We rented the RV for Easter holidays. We were headed to Denmark and Norway. Henk was very patient on the pick up as I got stuck in rush hour traffic in Amsterdam making a 1 hour trip into a 2.5 hour trip. If I had the option I would take the train to the pick up point next time.
The RV was very new and everything worked well and we had no problems with the use or driving of the RV.
The ferries ask RVs to be backed onto the front of the boat. That was a little scary.

The experience was quite straight forward on the paperwork and dealing with Ideamerge.

Thanks.

My wife and I picked up the van in Almere about 45
km north of central Amsterdam. We phoned Henk (the
owner of the depot) on arrival at the train station
and he picked us up in our van minutes later.
Henk was vey helpful and showed us around the van
and demonstrated how everything worked. The van was
a Fiat Ducato 3 berth 2.5 lt diesel with 48000 klms
on the clock and two years old. I was slightly
suprised at the high mileage but it made no
difference in the end as the van was great and ran
faultlessly for the two week 3000 klm vacation (we
ended up in Italy). On return Henk was just as
helpful and quicky ran through the checks signed the
van back in and ran us to the train station. We have
hired through McRent twice now and both times it has
been easy to order, pick up and drop off. I would
recommend.

We picked up the Motor Home in East Amsterdam, and we were greeted by a very friednly staff. Henk (the owner) took us out to go over the motor home and was very pleasent. The camper had about 13,000 km on it and it was very clean. It go great fuel milage on it. It cost 300 euro for 21 days of travel over 3800 km. The only problem we had with the camper was that the engine light was on (however Henk told us about it at the start of our trip and not to worry about it being on)

This is a first time using Ideamerge and McRent, and I would surely used them again on our next visit to Europe. The only thing that I would suggest that they have in the Camper is a bigger rug for outside the camper. Otherwise it was great. Thank you for your great service and say heloo to Henk and staff.

We picked up the Camper in The Netherlands. My Brother, Father and myself. It was a short walk from the train station, about 2-3 miles. Henk was very nice and accommodating to our travel times.

The camper had only 3,000km and was practically brand new for our 22 day vacation. Functional, economical, and reasonable. It got great fuel milage for its size(avg 12l/100km) good power, and very tight tuning radius. We had no issues the entire trip. Drop off was just as easy. We then trekked back to the train and back to Schiphol airport. Our journey was over 6500km in 22 days. We did a lot of driving, but the camper never complained.

This is the first time using Ideamerge, and McRent. I was originally skeptical about renting a camper over seas, and using internet only corrispondence. It was so simple and secure to make reservations, there is no doubt in my mind I will use them again for our next european trip- I know they will be there, and the camper we get will be in superb shape.

We collected the camper from the depo outside Amsterdam without any due hardship via train and bus. The camper was first class with all the bells and whistles we had ordered. We used it tour Holland looking for a boat to purchase and it was ideal. Camp sites in Holland are outstanding, well organised, clean and like all the citizens of Holland the personel at the camp sites were helpful and pleasant. We found that in Holland most of the younger folk spoke excellent English. We would use both Ideamerge and McRent again.

We just got back from a 2 week RV vacation in the Netherlands. We rented from the Amsterdam location and the people there were wonderful. Very helpful and friendly. We had a little problem with the engine light, we called them and they took care of it immediately. Otherwise it ran like new. We camped in Brugge, Belgium and took the bus and rail to other cities and sites in the area, we found this to be the easiest. This is the 3rd time we rented from McRent, once in France and once in Germany and every time we very extremely happy and pleased with the RV and people we dealt with. Thank you McRent for making it possible for us to see the world.

Picked up the van in Amsterdam and recieved a very nice van along with complete operating instructions. Enjoyed my 15 days touring in Holland, Belgium, France and Germany. Only one small problem with the lights which I had repaired. The cost was promptly refunded upon my return.

We picked up the Camper in Amsterdam and found Idea merges camper to be well equipped and in good order. We drove all of 7200km in the two weeks that we rented the camper and found no problems. There were a few small things inside of the vehicle that needed some attention, but as with any rented vehicle some wear and tear is to be expected. Thank you for enhancing our experience with great service and good prices.

Bonjour Eric !
As you know we are french. But I'll continue my e-mail in english, despite I can make some mistakes...
It was at Spring 2003 and we've rent a motorhome for 6 people in Amsterdam via...Oregon !
But we weren't disappointed at all ! You were very very very helpful and for that we are still grateful to you. The Vendor, René, in Amsterdam was, as we say in french "un sacré personnage" ; he looked like a mediterranean native, very helpful too and always smiling and making jokes !
The motorhome was perfect, clean and not ...old.
René took the time to explain a lot of important things to us for driving, making manoeuvres (I guess you use that word in english..) and so on.

We were very pleased to meet him and our regret is not having met you in Portland last year when we came, my husband and me.

We have been given here the opportunity to thank you once more for your kindness.
Please tell a great HELLO from us to René.

Elisabeth
