Macaronesiavan is a small independent company run by Roberto in Costa del Silencio (Arona, south Tenerife) that rents three self-converted campervans: a Hyundai Starex H1 Explorer (2020), a Volkswagen T6 Freedom and a Volkswagen T5.1 Adventure. They are compact campers for two people, with a double bed, solar panel, fridge, sink, portable kitchen and outdoor shower. Rental starts at €65/day with a 3-day minimum, unlimited mileage and a €300 deposit. Pick-up is at the base, about 15 minutes by taxi from Tenerife South airport; there is no airport delivery.

Vanyou's advice

Macaronesiavan is a small independent business run by its owner, with three modest campervans (two VW T6/T5.1 vans and a Hyundai Starex H1) that suit couples, a published starting price of €65/day, unlimited mileage and a direct booking that only requires the first night by PayPal. Pick-up is at its base in Costa del Silencio, about 15 minutes by taxi from Tenerife South airport, and the website states that there is no airport delivery. The website does not give seasonal rates, the number of units per model or the insurance excess, and it contradicts itself on insurance (included in all bookings versus third-party on two models). Before booking, confirm the exact price for your dates (Yescapa shows lower starting prices), the insurance coverage per model, the cancellation policy of a direct booking and how you will get from the airport to the base.
