Ramiro's Other

I'll better answer the 'bad' review I had:

'if you’re thinking about renting this car keep this in mind: As far as we know there are at least 2 people who own the car.'

We were two owners before. Now the van is mine alone... SO?

'One of the guys made sure to remind us that it’s a old car. Oh boy if we knew earlier. In our hometown we also drive a 20 years old car and of course it has its perks but THIS is a different kind of old. If you drive into a roundabout you’ll hear a interesting sound.. in my opinion this is still ok. If you drive on the motorway it sounds like the car will slowly fall apart or maybe explode.. Having a 20 years old car is the one thing, taking care of it is the other thing..'

It's 20 years old and makes noise. This summer did 6.000 kilometers around Spain, and it didn't explode. Lucky me.

'Also if you like to be safe on the road especially you think you rent a 4x4 car I’m sorry to say you simply don’t. The front tires were in the 1.6mm range, yes, but when we got the car the guy told us to be careful because the roads are slippery when wet. Well let’s just say no one else drifted in the curves it was just us.. and the roads were just a little moist, no heavy rain or something. also because we live on the Canary Islands we’re well aware what the conditions of the roads are. This wasn’t a slippery road incident it was a „you rented someone a car with shitty tires“

Now it has new front tires.

'If you want to travel for longer than 3 days without going to a shop don’t rent it - you get a cooling box instead of a fridge.. We bought icecubes to have some freedom..'

It was quite clear in the ad by then it didn't had a fridge. Again, it was YOUR choice.

ANYWAY, NOW IT HAS A FRIDGE.

'The shower water stinks. I don’t know what kind of chemicals they used but we didn’t really want to shower with it.. '

¡¿Chemicals?! My god. It's the same tap water I shower every day at home. Maybe that's why there is an extra arm growing in my back.

(Or just maybe it is the smell of the plastic water tank).

'So what did we learn from renting this car for almost one week? Pay a little more, rent a better car and worry a little less.. (also don’t do the car handover in the dark…)'

Yes, I'm a terrible guy. Waiting for your flight to arrive at any time so you don't have to pay a hotel and pick up the van during normal hours (¡Bad Ramiro!).

Extra info:

The van does NOT have:

• Air-conditioning. You have to change the compressor. But do not worry. The journeys are short and you will not miss it.

• Indoor shower and toilet. If what you are looking for is to be on a walk without leaving your house, I’m afraid this is not for you.

Now, if what you are looking for is adventure, I will tell you the benefits that you can enjoy with this H-1:

• 4x4 and clear of the ground: I can reach places on the island that others cannot, and without breaking a sweat.

• Solar panel with auxiliary battery 220V and USB ports: I can keep my devices charged in an unlimited way.

• 90 liter water tank and outdoor shower: To be fresh and clean after a walk in the mountains, or a day at the beach.

• Folding chairs and table kit: You can set up the living room and kitchen anywhere.

• Campingaz: Cooking and eating is enjoyed in a different way when you are facing the sea, or in the mountains.

• Bed 2.00 x 1.40 mts. and memory foam: you won't miss your bed.

So, I am sure that with this reliable Hyundai H-1 you will be able to get the most out of your trip around this fantastic island (and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do).
