Spaceships Rentals (UK & Europe) Reviews

We had a particular need for a motorhome because, to raise funds for charity, we planned to visit all 92 football clubs in 92 hours. Without doubt, the contribution of Spacehships to our “adventure” has been enormous and in particular Mike Salmon, the digital marketing manager and the team at the Wraysbury depot, Gabor, Roland and Jack. Throughout everyone was so helpful and kind to us and keen that we should achieve our aim and raise the money. The last day was an example of how the team were so supportive by sending a replacement vehicle on the last lap of our trip, so crucial in ensuring that we could achieve our objective. This we did with 8 minutes to spare. Phew! The motorhome we had, named Moonraker, was most certainly the fourth member of our team and performed so very well for us. The facilities offered, four berths, large fridge/freezer, toilet, shower, cooker and hob made us feel at home while still being on the road for just under four days. Clean, comfortable and all in excellent working order. Well done to all of you and with deep appreciation and thanks.

Great service and help when our rear window broke

We literally had the trip of a lifetime with Spaceships Rentals UK. They enabled us to travel from the southern tip of the UK to the Northern tip in luxury. With the most comfortable bedding provided, central heating, a fridge, cooktop, and oven, the Luxury 4-berth Motorhome made our holiday simply incredible. With their winter pack, it meant we could set up our table and chairs outside as we watched the sun set. Having the motorhome meant we were able to travel in flexibility. When we wanted to set off to another city, we do so whenever we pleased. It also meant we could stop whenever we wanted, taking photos of the beautiful scenery. I could not recommend Spaceships enough.

We had originally arranged to be collected at Heathrow airport which did not happen. Just before we were due to leave home we had an email telling us how to get the keys from a box on the wall near their front door. We managed to get a cab to the address and found the key. The vehicle was there but there was no paperwork either with the key or in the vehicle, which worried me because there was no damage report on the vehicle and there was a lot of damage. The fuel tank level was under a 1/4 of a tank, which I also did not think was very good. The vehicle itself was a perfect size for what we wanted (9 seats and a lot of luggage space). It was clean and tidy on the inside and washed on the outside. It drove well and was comfortable. One week through our trip (we did not cover many miles but hired it for a month) a light came on the dashboard saying that a service was due. I tried to ring the company but could not get hold of anyone , so I started sending emails which they did reply to and assured me that the vehicle would be ok but contact them again if the vehicle stopped working. I also did then manage to talk to someone who again said it would be okay. He also told me to take photos of the damage (which I had already done) and apologised that the damage report had not been done as their system was down and to return the vehicle with a similar level of fuel to when we collected it. We dropped off the vehicle on a Saturday afternoon (again out of hours) and they had given us a number to call a cab to get back to Heathrow which they paid for. So a mixed review, some things were not done very professionally for a car / vehicle hire company but they did then try and reassure us that it would be ok and it was. I was worried about the damage report because I had heard of people being charged for damage (not by this company) that they had not done, but they were fine. So with a little fine tuning I would recommend them, the vehicle was good for what we wanted and good value for money.

We've rented the VW camper car in Edinburgh and it was the best decision. Everything worked great, nothing negative at all! I would definitely recommend this company!

Such a lovely time visiting the cotswolds in the motorhome we hired with spaceships. We were worried how cold it would be but it was so warm inside! the water from shower was nearly too hot. We struggled with the heating and hot water for the first hour or so but after some practice it was actually simple to use. There were 3 of us in the 7 berth and it was super spacious, and left us more space than we needed. Even the pram fit in the locker which was out the way. The motorhome didn't come with gas but they told us to go to one quite close to fill up. Was £9 which was great value as it lasted all week. Would go again and will take our parents with us this summer as they would love it.

We have used Spaceships 2 years in a row to hire a van.... Excellent service both times.

The team at Spaceships were a breeze to deal with & I loved my little camper which had everything I needed. Such a fun way to see Scotland. Would definitely recommend.

We had the most amazing time in Scotland in our Spaceship motorhome. We were a little apprehensive about the size of it on the country roads at first but found driving now to be too much of a problem. Having all the extra space really helped with the wet weather. Customer support was also excellent!

Had an excellent time exploring England in our big campervan called TITAN. Had all the stuff we needed, was pretty much a new vehicle and they had videos and guides that help you which was very useful as we weren't sure a few times on how things worked. So easy to pick up and drop off though. Had an issue with a flat tyre, and was fixed on the road by a great mechanic that came out to me. Great service and would recommend to friends. Only thing was that they don't do towels, so remember to bring your own! See you soon!

Very easy, very good car, very easy drop off

Very unreliable company, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I had a breakdown on my second night with the campervan and nobody from Spaceshiprentals helped me. I had to calla local mechanic and pay for it myself even though I had a breakdown cover with Spaceshipsrentals. Nobody never returned my calls or replied my emails.

Our van was fantastic, it was reliable and well fitted out (mostly). Only whinge is that the food prep utensils were not adequate. It needs a decent sized plastic bowl for mixing or salad making, a better cutting knife and another larger saucepan. A colander for straining would be good too. There was a small vege knife, a small saucepan and a small frying pan. Really not enough so we bought some extras - both of us being foodies. Overall we loved it and the cost was reasonable as well.

No problems so far all good

Hi, we were a group of 4 grandchildren 3 aged 7 and a 4 year old, and 2 Grannies. The camper was perfect, it had everything we required, we all had such fun. The van was spotless and all our dealings we dealt with without hesitation. We hope to be able to go again and we'll travel with Spaceships.

Thé Booking was very easy, ans Also have thé Key thé motorhome was Ready. Thé périple from thé compagne are very helpfull. Thé things that thé motorhome was injures at différents positions. Thé door between room and salon missing, we couldn't bé isolate from thé kids. Thé télévision doesn't work

Friendly service, mobile home with good ideas, but partly sub-optimal manufacturing quality (jamming slide door, kitchen sink stopper not fitting, power outlet not fitting for international plug adapters, USB charging plug with loose connection...). Irritations when booking from Europe regarding pick-up/drop location and addresses. “Main station" instead of Waverley station, no precise address where to find the shuttle (which parking slot, which corner, ...?)

We rented a small camper van for travel in Scotland. The size was perfect for the road sizes. BUT, customer service neglected to tell us about the alarm system when we locked ourselves in at night for sleeping. A terrible hassle and to disengage it the first night required a midnight to 2 am wait for the repair truck to arrive to fix the system. Then we had to return to the rental agent the next morning to get it fixed. only got a 1/2 day refund for our sleepless night. After that we locked ourselves in and if we forgot to unlock before opening the doors the alarm went off again. Then we returned the camper 12 hrs before the end of out contract and they said we would get a full day of cred which we never got. next time we rent from another company we will be sure to ask about alarms. We rented from CampEasy in Iceland and never had any problems. I will never rent from this company again.

Found this company a pleasure to deal with and my rental very comfortable to sleep in

We had a wonderful experience w/Spaceships! My recommendation would be to get the insurance (Scotland is Ground Zero for Potholes) and take a jetboil/own stove for coffee and cooking. Neither of our stoves worked. However, if we felt super strongly we could have bought a new one and been reimbursed w/the insurance coverage. Just Go!
