We rented a Maverick Campervan for 10 days to drive from Denver to LA and had the trip of a lifetime! Neither of us are really the “camping type” but the Escape Campervan made it easy to stay overnight inside National Parks and cover huge distances between them on the road so it was the perfect choice for us. The kitchen set up was everything we needed (with the rented kitchen set), the bed was surprisingly comfortable even with the rented bedding, and our van even had Bluetooth for our music needs which was an unexpected bonus. We rented the camping chairs and camping table too (although most of the camping sites we booked had tables) but it certainly was useful to have our own gear for picnics and lunch stops on the road. We also paid for the full insurance and were so grateful for that when we unfortunately had a crash on our final day. Dealing with the Escape team throughout that incident was nothing short of amazing though - they were concerned for us and helped us navigate the next steps with no blame or shame. We literally handed back the keys in LA and walked away with no further action needed despite significant damage to the van! The Denver team went above and beyond for us at pick up too by ensuring we had a good charger in our van and taking extra time with us to make sure we felt comfortable with our van and the set up. We will absolutely hire another Escape Campervan in the future. RIP to our dragon van though. We hope she can get back on the road soon!

We had a really good experience renting the maverick for the first time to go to Coachella. The van is kind of old, but a great deal for the price. I was a little bit hesitant to drive it because the vans are huge and I am a 4’10 girl, but it was easier to drive than I expected. There’s not as many blind spots as I expected, and if you’re not stuck in traffic the drive isn’t bad at all. Having a sink and kitchen in the back for car camping was soooo convenient, they even had a light that was on a separate batter that charged through solar panels for us to use when it was night time. The only issue I had with my van was that the trunk doors were hard to open, I found the trick to it was pulling at a certain spot to get it open, otherwise you’d have to reach over the back seat and open it from inside. The black out curtains worked great so the sun doesn’t wake you up in the morning and you can also crack the windows open and not have to worry about the dust blowing straight at you when you slept. The “bed” was kind of lumpy so I’d definitely recommend bringing a mat or a mattress topper to put over it before you put the sheets on if you’re very particular about that. They also have additional things you can rent or buy for the camper van if you come from out of town like tables and chairs. The staff was great from start to finish, the camper was ready for pick up as soon as we got there on Thursday morning. They were even able to accommodate me for an early pick up time the day of. I forgot her name, but the woman who helped us. She was white and had curly hair, was kind enough to let us know how much more it would be to upgrade from a maverick to a Del Mar even though we ended up just using the maverick. When we brought the camper back, Chris was super quick with getting me in and out of there, he told me not to worry about the window paint we used to decorate our van and that it wasn’t extra to wash it off. They also have a cute communal cubby thing where you can leave things you probably won’t need for future campers to take like books, used propane tanks, lighters, etc. I left a few items inside and then took home some window crayons for next year’s Coachella camping. My group and I will definitely be using them again if we go to future Coachella’s!

Our three-week adventure with Escape Campervans was an absolute dream. From the moment we picked up our vibrantly painted and well-equipped camper. The vehicle was clean, spacious, and provided us with everything we needed for our journey along the West Coast. For having already done 330.000 miles the vehicle was in absolutely great shape.Exploring six different national parks became an amazing experience thanks to the reliability and comfort of the camper. Whether we were navigating through winding roads or settling in for a night under the stars, the vans functionality was just what we needed.We booked the van along with a bedding set, the kitchen set, a propane bottle, the bugsocs and 2 chairs, which we would absolutely recommend. That way you are ready to hit the road as soon as you get to your rental.The staffs professionalism and helpfulness at the rental location made the whole process seamless, ensuring we were well-prepared for our adventure ahead.Escape Campervans facilitated an experience beyond compare, and we will surely be planning our next adventure with them again. If youre seeking an incredible way to explore the West Coasts, Escape Campervans is undoubtedly the way to go!

My girlfriend and I took the Maverick from LA through Red rocks, Sequoia, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe then dropped off in SF.The van set up was excellent, very roomy bed space for two people. The stove worked great, as did the fridge and the kitchenette had plenty of space for all your needs. The staff was also great particularly in San Francisco who drove us to the BART station after drop off which we thought was above and beyond.Only issues we had were the van had an issues with the tire pressure sensor which I’m aware can be a malfunction with the sensor not the tire and upon inspection by a third party that’s what it was. I have no issue with the malfunction rather I would’ve appreciated being notified in advance for peace of mind sake. Our other issue is the location of the SF office is actually in San Jose about an hour away from SF where we flew in. This makes a difference when lugging around baggage. Again like the sensor, it was more of a communication issue. Had I been notified of both I would have nothing to complain about! We had an excellent time and we would do it again. Thanks!

The best rental service we have used! Honestly can’t sing our praises enough. So much smoother than other camper rental services we have used previously.Whenever we needed any help or advice the staff at Escape Campers were super friendly and helpful. They really have the enjoyment of your trip as a priority.Really gracious for the van upgraded as we did a 2 month road trip. The additional size and AUX/bluetooth for our devices was needed.Thank you for helping us have an amazing Road Trip in America!!🇺🇸

My partner and I had a great experience with escape camper van. The process was smooth- we rented the Del Mar for 4 nights had plenty of room and traveled through out southern CA and had a few add ons coming to about $800 including mileage (700) and the no worries insurance we did book when they were having a special. I would for sure book again and recommend.

We will definitely be doing this again!The rental process was easy - the website had almost all the information I wanted, and the few extra questions were quickly answered with the little chat button.Pick up, a breeze. Everything was ready when we arrived, and we had time to ask any questions not answered by the YouTube video.Drop off, equally easy. We tossed our trash, added non perishables to the donation cabinet, and were checked out in no time. Staff was friendly, and all costs came out as expected. I appreciated that the pre-paid miles cost the same as the miles we did not prepay for - no extra fees!The van was great! We got a Mesa; with how early it gets dark in January we wanted a comfortable interior for playing board games. Switching from the table to the bed set up was pretty quick once we got the hang of it. The mattress left a little to be desired, but there is only so much luxury one can expect while camping.We rented the kitchen kit, and it was more dishes than we needed. But everything fit nicely in the tub so the extras werent cumbersome.Driving a biggish rig for the first time in LA rush hour traffic was a little stressful, but by day 2 it felt quite natural. If you can get out of the city sooner than us, wed recommend it!We drove 1033 miles to visit Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Parks. We loved it. Being able to make lunch out the back whenever we were hungry, pack up and leave in ten minutes, and having spacious front seats was all an ideal way to make this trek. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Escape Campervans. Myself and my friend picked up a van from LA and drove 2200miles over 10 days. The team of staff were amazing upon arrival, despite miscommunication from our travel agent. Chris who helped us was super friendly and efficient, and the mix up didn’t end up affecting our trip at all, Thanks to the effort of Chris.The van itself, extremely well set up, perfect for camping! The kitchen area, bed and also the storage, plenty of room for all your needs! The van was also very mechanically sound and nice to drive, which made driving over in the US (from Aus) less nerve wracking! The van is also very good on fuel! Can tell the mechanics look after them very well, the van didn’t skip a beat.Between the staff and the van itself, I can’t fault Escape Campervans. 😊

Loved our experience!!! The van was amazing!!! Their timing expectations were clearly laid out- limited at times- but laid out in emails. So plan ahead! Our family of 5 loved it! The van was clean and staff were friendly and very kind!!!

Rented the Maverick Campervan for Coachella. It was such an easy process. Chris helped me when I picked it up and when I dropped off. I received good communication emails on my pricing, I did not encounter “hidden” fees. I knew what it was going in. The bed was super comfortable. And tons of room. It was just me and my kiddo attending but we were super pleased! Will be renting from themNext year! Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures 🤦🏽‍♀️ this was the one on loading up and leaving haha
