We’d just like to say a huge thank you to Paul for the hire of his van. The hand-over and return processes were swift, friendly and relaxed with Paul taking as much time as we needed to explain the features of his van, ‘Bertie’ to us. We hired the van to drive to, around and back from the Peak District covering about 550 miles in total. One of our favourite moments was lying on the bed with the tailgate open looking out at the fabulous view of the dales and one of our most grateful moments was when the wind and the rain were pummelling the tents in the campsite and we were dry and toastie inside the van. NB: no tents were hurt in writing of this review! The van is in great condition, lovely to drive and comfortable to live in. Part of the reason why we chose this van was to compare the wide bed layout with the narrow bed/kitchenette layout. We much preferred Bertie’s layout due to the wider, comfortable bed and the lack of cooking smells in the van. We’d be more than happy to rent Bertie again or to recommend this van to anyone looking for the VW ‘Beach’ experience. June 2026
Response from Paul Thanks Mark, sound slike some great memories!

From selecting Bertie, Paul has been available to help and guide all the way through to the end, Paul thank you. Now Bertie was used to transport two couples and our small dogs down to north Devon, Bertie was a dream to drive in wet and sunshine, when parked up able to swivel the front seats round to enjoy a snack and drink. The whole week was wonderful, would look to book again as so easy. May 2026
Response from Paul Cheers Peter, glad had a great time !!

Bertie was an amazing Camper for our trip to Glastonbury and we all loved the fancy features. Paul was incredibly helpful, particularly as this was a very last minute booking, so we were very grateful for the flexibility and advice. The whole process was very smooth and we could not have asked for a better experience. We very much look forward to using Bertie again in the future! July 2025
Response from Paul Great to hear, cheers !

Having rented many campers over the years this was the first time using Goboony. The whole process was seamless including insurance etc. Paul, the owner of Bertie the camper was fantastic from start to finish. Very responsive to my many questions along the way, very accommodating on pick up and drop off times of the van, leaving my car during the holiday on his drive and the items he includes as part of the rental. Would definitely recommend both Paul and Bertie as we had a fantastic trip down to the new forest. September 2024
Response from Paul Cheers Rob, glad we might have converted you to the GoBoony way!!

Paul is the perfect host and we just loved staying in Bertie! We picked Paul/ Bertie because of already great reviews and it was exactly that. Amazing communication and handover throughout - including being super flexible when we had to change things from our end quite last minute. Paul was always so helpful and friendly and really went above and beyond with every interaction we had with him both before and during our trip. We spent 3 nights in Dorset in Bertie with our 6 month old baby and dog and Bertie was the perfect adventure for it made so much easier by everything Paul kindly lent us too for the van (chairs, cutlery, charging points etc.). We are already planning our next trip in Bertie and encourage anyone thinking of giving campervan life a go to go for it with Bertie and Paul, couldn’t have been easier or more fun! September 2024
Response from Paul Thanks for the great review and sharing so photos of your adventure in Bertie!

We chose Bertie as our first campervan experience and are very glad we did, had a great time. The van is a 'proper' VW California with all the fixtures, also easy to drive with the auto box. Paul is a great host and made the whole experience simple and stress free, especially the handover and documents and also lent us a full cooking set up. Would definitely recommend Paul and Bertie for anyone looking for a van adventure! August 2024
Response from Paul Cheers Stephen, great adventure and what a Rainbow !

What a great van for a great adventure. If you’re thinking of hiring a van, then Bertie the beach is the one. No kitchen, but more sleeping room downstairs, and breakfast cooked under the awning is the way to go! We travelled the length of the UK to climb Ben Nevis, and Bertie was a true delight, with good fuel economy, cruise control, and reverse parking cameras. when we’d gone far enough for the day, a couple of clips released and bedtime! Paul was a great guy to hire from, and was one hand / WhatsApp if there were any questions. August 2024
Response from Paul Cheers David, thanks for looking after Bertie and glad you had a great adventure !

This was my first camper hire experience and Paul was an outstanding host. He made my son and I very comfortable with the van Bertie for a local festival trip. When we arrived on site everything was easy to use and straight forward to set up and Bertie was comfortable and quite fancy amongst the festival vans! We loved Bertie for the two levels of bed, the boot was roomy and the awning like a little extension! Three of us stayed in the van - the magnetic curtains, lights & phone charger were really nice touches! We will be 100% renting Bertie again! Thank you Paul.. a fantastic, communicative and flexible host! We really appreciated you allowing us to rent and take Bertie on our UK family festival! June 2024
