Foi prometido apoio 24 horas, etc.....a viatura avariou no segundo dia de aluguer, interrompi as ferias, tive que fazer cerca de 800km para entregar a viatura. a empresa nao se responsabilizou e ainda tiveram a lata de dizer que a entreguei porque quis!!! Resumindo, nem me devolveram o valor de dois dias de aluguer que nao usufrui devido a problemas que me foram alheios e da total responsabilidade da empresa.

24-hour support was promised, etc.....the car broke down on the second day of rental, I interrupted my vacation, I had to travel around 800km to deliver the car. the company was not responsible and they even had the nerve to say that I handed it over because I wanted to!!! In short, they didn't even refund me the value of two days' rental that I didn't use due to problems that were beyond my control and the company's full responsibility.

Amazing experience with GoFree! Affordable priced vans - perfect for what we needed. Friendly and professional team - thank you Debora for a smooth pick up and drop off and for being so helpful throughout the process. The table was broken but it didn't affect our trip, apart from that everything else was great. Will definitely be back!! Thank you

Excellent service en amont de la reservation jusqu'au jour de depart et retour du van. Une equipe serieuse, serviable et professionnelle. Le van etait propre, spacieux et bien entretenu. Si nous devions relouer un van, nous passerions sans aucun doute a nouveau par GoFree Caravans ! Rapport qualite/prix excellent. Merci pour tout ! Lise & Julien

Excellent service from the time of booking until the day of departure and return of the van. A serious, helpful and professional team. The van was clean, spacious and well maintained. If we were to rent a van again, we would definitely use GoFree Caravans again! Excellent value for money. Thank you for everything ! Lise & Julien

Very friendly staff. The caravan was good, only one window was a little broken but it didn't affect our journey. We could contact gofree any time in case we had any problems. The price was also fair. Would recommend!

Hi everyone, we rented a camper Van (6m) in Lisbon with GoFree. It was our first experience with a camper and it was amazing. We first write to have some information and they always reply to us. Then, when we arrived Vanessa explain us everything in detail. She is very nice. We have done the coast from Lisbon to Porto and we had a very good first experience with a Van. I would really recommend to rent a camper with GoFree to visit Portugal, they are serious and professionals. When we bring the camper back, they also bring us to the closest train station without pay anything. Thank you GoFree and Vanessa ;)

I cannot recommend this company and its services to anyone. This is the first time I have ever written a bad review and doing so gives me no pleasure . In short: we have gotten a malfunctioning van and what followed was a nasty dispute which resulted in the company keeping our money AND their van. Their "customer service" included delays, shouting, and very aggressive behavior, which ended up ruining our trip and incurring many expenses. Huge disappointment and I will never return, for sure. We booked two caravans with the company in advance for five nights, and it was delivered to us (one for us, one for another family of friends) appropriately in Montijo/Palmela. As I was driving it back to our apartment in Lisbon, after about 30 minutes of driving, a repugnant metallic / electrical burning smell, (likely arising from the clutch) filled the cabin. I pulled over and parked in the first available position (less than 2 min of driving with the smell) and called the number I was given for emergencies. It took nearly 20 minutes before I managed to get an answer from the "hotline", and more than 1.5h before someone arrived to assist. Here started a strange chain of events: the people who came to check the van noticed the strong smell immediately, even though the van was parked for nearly 2h, with its engine off. On arrival they stated that "there's clearly a problem with the van" and that "the van was not in proper condition for driving". They then called a "mechanic" who said that the smell would "come and go" and "it's totally fine to drive like this". So now their disposition switched to "the van is fine". I affirmed that, given that the van had not been actually inspected by the mechanic and that the horrid smell persisted, I cannot agree and will not drive a van which may be unsafe or may fail later. Driving with a crazy metallic smell is not how we imagined our vacation. They actually agreed again that this was clearly not a way to drive. The company said that they could *maybe* find a van for the next day; we couldn't wait that long. They suggested that a van may be available later that day, but that I would have to pick it up again from Palmela which would have induced a further large delay which we could not afford. I therefore made it clear that under these conditions, we will just take our car and join our friends rather than get delayed by a full vacation day. The two Gofree people on site agreed that this was the reasonable thing to do. I asked to just confirm with my wife (that we won't be able to pick up the van the next day) and let them know. However, about an hour later, I received phone calls and text messages from the company saying something like "we are waiting for you to decide: do you want the [malfunctioning] van or not?". I replied that, as we spoke, I will definitely not be taking the malfunctioning van and confirmed that we cannot pick up another one the same day as it was too late. A little while later still, I received another text message along the lines of: "we cannot refund you for the full amount". I replied that we are perfectly willing to pay for the one day we had the van at our disposal and also offered to pay the gas for the 32km driven. A representative then called me, and started literally shouting at me, saying the van was "totally fine" and that we are at fault for not wanting to continue driving it. I told her that even her own people agreed that it was un-drivable and that that's why they took it back(...!). She became very aggressive and literally shouted at me: "excuse me, are you a mechanic? Do you understand anything about vans?". Later emails said something along the line "refunding you is off the table" (they later offered to refund us for one day out of the five). Bottom line: They provided us with a malfunctioning van, poor support, couldn't provide us with a viable alternative, but they kept our money without providing the service. We will indeed have to pursue our refund in court, unfortunately. Huge disappointment.

A TV was advertised (satellite, the employee said in her complete ignorance) that didnt work due to a faulty control. Stove that didnt work because the sensors slide as the vehicle moves and then dont hold the flame because they arent in the right place. They know the situation but dont warn the customer. Transport bench next to the table with huge stains of dirt that were not removed. Loose table with all the resulting inconveniences. A huge trinket inside when traveling. 35 euros to dump the screen tape!? There was only water and it went to the ditch, of course. Because at the delivery/reception location they do not have adequate facilities for this purpose . GO FREE?, never again.
Translation
Anunciada um tv (por satelite, dizia a funcionaria na sua completa ignorancia) que nao funcionava por avaria do comando. Fogao que nao funcionava porque os sensores deslizam com a deslocacao da viatura e depois nao seguram a chama porque nao estao no local devido. Conhecem a situacao mas nao avisam o cliente. Banco de transporte junto a mesa com manchas enormes de sujidade que nao foi removida. Mesa solta e com todos os inconvenientes dai resultantes. Uma chinfrineira enorme no interior durante as deslocacoes. 35 euros para despejar a cassete do ecra!? So tinha agua e foi para a valeta, claro. Porque no local da entrega/recepcao nao possuem instalacao adequada para o efeito . GO FREE?, never again.

This is the worst rental company in the country! We understand that the damage caused must be paid for. But the damage is not done! There was already damage to the camper when we arrived. This was never made either. The valve to open the toilet is broken, this is our fault and they say we have to pay for a completely new toilet of 550 euros. No doubt they make this with tex 7. We have taken out extra insurance of 120 euros. So this is not necessary! Because it now appears that this is not comprehensive insurance! Scandalous ! Scamming the people!
Translation
Dit is het slechtste verhuurbedrijf van het land ! De schade dat er gemaakt wordt moet betaald worden , dat begrijpen we. Maar de schade wordt niet gemaakt! Er was al schade aan de camper toen we aankwamen. Dit is ook nooit gemaakt geweest. Het klepje voor de wc te openen is kapot gegaan dit is onze fout en zij zeggen dat we een heel nieuwe wc moeten betalen van 550 euro. Ongetwijfeld dat ze dit met tex 7 maken . We hebben een extra verzekering afgesloten van 120euro. Dit is dus voor niks nodig ! Want nu blijkt dat dit geen omniumverzekering is ! Schandalig ! De mensen Oplichten !

They carry out poor maintenance inside the caravans. I rented the same vehicle 8 months apart and the dining table was still loose, shaking and making a lot of noise the entire way. In another caravan, the water pump stopped working right at the beginning of the trip
Translation
Fazem uma manutencao deficiente no interior das caravanas. Aluguei o mesmo veiculo com 8 meses de intervalo e a mesa de refeicoes continuava solta, tremendo e fazendo imenso barulho o caminho todo. Noutra caravana a bomba de agua deixou de funcionar logo no inicio da viagem

While the camper stops running the hot water, we call but we dont have any response, the container, a lot of advertising but it gives a little disgust, the table is unstable and doesnt fit well, while the service on her part owner, I dont explain a lot of things like where the tacos are in the hose. We were confused, and after making several calls, we were sure that we didnt have the service to help us, we called the owner and literally told us that SUERTE!!, in general, without a doubt, no one will come back to rent here, no I recommend it. As for the trailer, the hot water stopped working, we called but didnt answer, the dishes, a lot of advertising but it was a bit disgusting, the table was unstable and didnt fit well, in terms of service from the owner, she didnt explain half of the things things for us, like where the clubs were or the hose. We got stuck, and after making several phone calls to the insurance company they tell us that they dont have the service to get us out, as we called the owner and she literally told us LUCK!!, overall, without a doubt I will not rent here again I dont even recommend it.

En cuanto a la camper, nos dejo de funcionar el agua caliente, y les llamamos pero no hubo respuesta alguna, la vajilla, mucha publicidad pero daba un poco asco, la mesa inestable y no encajaba bien, en cuanto al servicio por parte de la propietaria, no nos explico ni la mitad de cosas como donde estaban los tacos ni la manguera. Nos quedamos atascados, y tras hacer varias llamadas al seguro nos dicen que no tenemos el servicio para que nos sacasen , pues llamamos a la propietaria y literalmente nos dijo que SUERTE!!, en general, sin duda alguna no volvere a alquilar aqui, ni recomiendo. Quanto ao trailer, a agua quente parou de funcionar, a gente chamava mas nao atendia, os pratos, muita publicidade mas era um pouco nojento, a mesa estava instavel e nao cabia bem, em termos de servico do proprietario, ela nao explicou metade das coisas para nos, como onde estavam os tacos ou a mangueira. Ficamos presos, e depois de fazer varios telefonemas para a seguradora eles nos dizem que nao temos o servico para nos tirar, pois ligamos para a proprietaria e ela literalmente nos disse SORTE !!, em geral, sem duvida eu nao vou alugo aqui de novo, nem recomendo.
