Easi Campervans review
Volkswagen campers sit at the heart of a British hire range that also includes larger family motorhomes.
Profile reviewed and updated on
Background
Company overview
Easi Campervans is the family-run UK rental business trading as Easicampers, operated by Jaybank Leisure Limited. EasiHire, its sister business, provides ordinary van hire; the recreational range spans Volkswagen campers and motorhomes from Auto-Trail and other manufacturers.
The business has announced a planned change to the YoloCampers name. Easicampers remains the identity used for the hire operation described here.
Our verdict
Editorial review
The range has a useful middle ground between a basic sleeper and a large motorhome. Couples can choose a small camper or a two-berth Expedition with a bathroom, while the Zefiro offers a more substantial sleeping arrangement for a larger party. That makes Easi Campervans worth considering when the main decision is how much living space and equipment to take on a UK holiday.
The rental works less well as an all-in package: bedding, gas and some outdoor equipment are separately priced, and the charging rules need to fit the way the vehicle will be used. The vehicle choice is more compelling than the simplicity of the overall offer.
Good points
- A bathroom without moving to a large family motorhome.The two-berth Expedition 66 includes a toilet and shower, giving couples an alternative to the California Ocean's optional portable toilet.
- Leave the car and spare luggage at the depot.Edinburgh, Preston, Wigan and Wolverhampton offer free monitored parking and luggage storage. Parking remains at the customer's risk, but the arrangement is useful for a hire that starts and ends at the same depot.
Things to consider
- Charging cannot be left unattended overnight.The hire terms prohibit unattended or overnight charging and attach vehicle-replacement liability to a resulting fire. This is a significant constraint on how charging can fit around overnight stops.
- An airport label does not mean terminal collection.The Edinburgh vehicle is collected from an off-airport depot in Broxburn. The advertised Manchester arrangement uses a hotel meeting point reached by taxi or Uber, adding a separate transfer to the start of the hire.

The fleet runs from compact Volkswagen sleepers to motorhomes with separate sleeping areas and on-board bathrooms.
The Caddy offers a foldout bed and mini-kitchen. The California Ocean adds a pop-top layout with two beds, each sleeping two people, while the Grand California brings a toilet and shower. For the Grand California, the operator recommends a mains recharge every couple of days to meet the fridge's battery demand; that matters when planning several nights away from a hook-up.
The Expedition pair offers a different layout choice: the 66 has rear singles that can form a double, and the 67 combines a lower double with a removable upper bed. The Imala uses an overcab double and singles in the cabin. In the six-berth Zefiro, an overcab double, rear bunks and a dinette bed provide distinct sleeping positions.
The eight categories describe the hire range, not the number of vehicles or a promise that every category is offered at every collection point. The contract allows vehicle substitution, so a category selection does not guarantee an exact model or model year.

Practical facts
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Example hire prices | For a seven-night Edinburgh return hire from 5 to 12 October 2026, with a driver aged 50, the direct-hire examples were £750 for a VW California Ocean T6.1 and £920.31 for a Ford Zefiro 675. These are indicative quote-stage rental totals, including Standard cover and taxes, before optional selections; they are not final payable quotes or availability promises. |
| Optional protection | In those California and Zefiro examples, Silver cost £25 per night, Gold £35 and Platinum £75. Platinum lists mirror, tyre and windscreen cover, an additional driver, bedding, chairs and a table. Buying it does not imply zero damage liability. |
| Security at collection | The direct-hire terms specify a preauthorisation for hires shorter than ten days and a debit for hires longer than ten days, with any refund subject to the return conditions and a period of up to 28 days. The security is separate from the rental price. |
| Payment and cancellation | The balance is due six weeks before pickup. Cancellation more than six weeks ahead forfeits the booking deposit; from six to two weeks the charge is 50%, rising to 100% within two weeks or for a no-show. The booking deposit is an advance payment, separate from the security taken at collection. |
| Bedding | Bedding is excluded from the basic hire. The California and Zefiro options price a double kit at £40 and a single kit at £20; the Zefiro also offers a kingsize kit at £60. |
| Gas | The gas option costs £60 per hire in the California and Zefiro examples. Supplied gas need not be a full cylinder. |
| Pets | The California and Zefiro booking options allow pets for £50 per hire, charged per booking rather than per animal. |
| Additional drivers | An extra driver costs £10 per day in the California and Zefiro examples; Platinum protection lists an additional driver among its inclusions. |
| Outdoor equipment | The California example includes two chairs and an outside table. The Zefiro prices an outside chair at £6 each per hire and a table at £12 per hire. |
| Portable toilet | A portable toilet is optional for the California Ocean at £50 per hire. This is separate from the installed toilets in the bathroom-equipped categories. |
| Bike rack | A rack costs £7 per day, with a maximum of 21 charged days, in the California and Zefiro options, subject to availability. |
| Internet option | Starlink is offered at £15.99 per day with 20 GB per week in the California and Zefiro options, subject to availability. |
| Cleaning and waste | The return charges include £150 for a dirty interior and £250 for an unemptied toilet or waste tank. |
| Fuel | Return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection. |
| Edinburgh handover | Allow about an hour for handover and return. The Edinburgh return time is 10 am. |
| Edinburgh licence checks | A UK licence check is required. Drivers with more than six UK penalty points are not accepted under the Edinburgh guidance. |
| Roadside assistance | UK roadside assistance is available 24 hours a day. Callouts caused by operating errors are chargeable. |
| Charging restriction | The direct-hire terms prohibit unattended or overnight charging and state vehicle-replacement liability for a resulting fire. Confirm with Easicampers how this restriction applies to the charging equipment supplied with your vehicle. |
| Other advertised airport arrangements | Manchester's advertised service meets travellers at the Holiday Inn Express car park on Runger Lane, reached by taxi or Uber from the terminal. Birmingham's advertised arrangement asks travellers to wait at the blue Customer Service hut and telephone for pickup. These are separate arrangements beyond the four principal collection options; they do not establish a staffed terminal depot or category availability. |

Can I take a pet in the California or Zefiro?
Both booking options offer a pet extra at £50 per hire. The charge is per booking, not per animal.
Does the Grand California need a campsite hook-up?
The operator recommends a mains recharge every couple of days to support the fridge's battery use. That makes regular access to mains power relevant when planning this vehicle's stops.
