We're back from a vacation of two and a half weeks in Holland and Belgium, where we picked up our 2 caravans in Düsseldorf. The service was dedicated and efficient, the caravan training in the simulator was very efficient and useful, and saved us quite a bit of time when signing for the vehicles. Beyond that, we got 2 caravans that were almost completely new (only about 3,000 km), without any issues during the vacation. This is also the place to commend the caravan agency in Germany — they explained everything patiently, checked every detail with us, and were really fair throughout the return process. (Of course, we made sure to return the equipment in the same condition we received it.) There's no doubt the trip and caravan experience were excellent — in no small part thanks to you. Warmly recommended. Shay
100 percent professionalism!!! It was my first time with a caravan, and abroad too. I called Avi and asked him to be on the line with me for 40 minutes to understand my needs. Avi was patient, professional — and even when COVID came and we had to postpone by a year, the date was changed without any cost or change fees. In addition, throughout the period Avi gave me his full attention and answered every possible question and worry I had naturally as someone heading out with the family for the first time on a trip like this. I warmly recommend Bandana, and I have no doubt that when we go on a trip again we'll turn to Bandana first.
