At Escape, we like to make things as simple and as easy as possible for you. From the booking process to the operation of the camper to the terms and conditions, we aim for simplicity and honesty.
With regards to Insurance, there are 2 things to consider when Renting a Campervan in America:
- Damage to the Escape Campervan.
- Liability Insurance.
1) Damage to the Escape Campervan
Campervan Insurance is not included in the cost of the rental.
The hirer is responsible for any damage caused to the Escape Campervan.
For your peace of mind, we do offer:
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
This costs only $9/Day and reduces the Campervan liability (or excess) to $0
Unlike other operators, our CDW also covers the windshield and tires.
2) Liability Insurance
This is to protect you against 3rd party claims if you injure a person or damage someone elses property.
Basic Statutory limits for liability and property damage is included in Escape Campervans daily rate.
The liability levels change between the various States and for more information on this, please click here.
If your own travel insurance does not include liability cover to US$1,000,000, we can offer this to you for an additional $9.95/day.
This Liability Insurance is called 'Supplementary liability Insurance' (SLI) and is completely optional.

Unlike other operators, Escape do not make additional Insurance compulsory and we do not push the various options on you.
It's entirely your decision which combination suits your budget, peace of mind level and also any other Travel Insurance you may have already purchased.
You do not need to decide which option suits you best now. We will explain any queries you have at the time of Campervan collection and you can decide at pick up if you want to take extra insurance or not.
U.S. and CANADIAN Residents:
If you are a U.S. or Canadian resident with a valid driver's license from either country and you have automobile insurance that provides full coverage for rental vehicles (including minivans), you may have coverage for our Campervans. Please check with your insurance company prior to pickup of rental vehicle. You will need to decline our CDW and SLI options and you will be responsible for making a claim through your insurance company. Please supply us with your insurance information at the time of Campervan collection.
