I’ve used their cars twice! First time i was able to get the Jeep Wrangler, so much fun! The car is equipped with everything you need to peace TFO and go off road into adventure. This time in Las Vegas I got a Ford Santa Cruz, very comfortable, big windows so if you are going to the National parks (like we did) the view from inside the car is great! Confortable bed and great space for storage plus the mini fridge and sink! on top of that, the service was exceptional, Las Vegas location was friendly and gave us great recommendations on where to go eat within the city. So far I’ve driven over 3000 miles with Escape, zero problems ✌... Read More

We love these people and what they are trying to do. They have created a whole new way to see America! There were a couple of little tips we recommended, like show people how to work the stove, or put a sponge and some dishwashing liquid in the kitchen kit, but overall it was a great experience. Two quick tips: download the how to video onto your phone in case you were in the wilderness and don’t have cell service to see on YouTube the how to video. Also, when we called the emergency line, they didn’t pick up so they need to work on that. But again they are lovely people, especially Katia the manager :-)... Read More

Picked up a campervan in Orlando, because our friends rented one and could not stop talking about it! Richard sure knows his stuff and suggested some off the beaten path stops along our route. We spent a week in Ocala Nat’l park and drove to De Leon Springs for a day for a delicious pancake breakfast they made us cook ourselves on tabletop griddles. The springs stay 72 degrees year round so you can go for a brisk swim, even in winter months. Great location, great escape & we look forward to our next #vanlife getaway... Read More

We booked our Escape Camper van in Orlando. The office is difficult to find and tiny but we had an excellent experience. Richard communicated with us ahead of our reservation and was very helpful with extras we definitely needed for a comfortable experience. He also had great local tips, and nearby scenic drives for our last minute adventure. We definitely recommend the experience!! It’s a fantastic last minute pandemic getaway idea.... Read More

We rented the maverick for 5 days out of Orlando and could not have been more happy!!! The price is amazing, customer service was amazing and the van was just what we needed for our everglades trip. Richard went above and beyond helping us with everything. The company was also very covid aware, including masks and extra cleaning. Only recommendation we have for future customers is to purchase a florida sunpass before your trip and have it mailed to you and bring it with you. It's needed for tolls in the area and hard to find south of Orlando which is not at all escape campervans fault. Thanks for a great experience we can't wait to see you in 6 months... Read More

Amazing experience all around! Check in and drop off were super easy, super friendly staff, and expectations are super clear. The van was clean and ran great. I definitely recommend!... Read More

Joel was great! Definitely a great option for camping out if you're not from the area. We were also short on some cash so instead of getting a kitchen kit (which would have cost us more money), Joel allowed us to scavenge through the spare stuff they had from previous customer.... Read More

My friend and I had an awesome time at the Olympics! We rented out a Maverick van and we’re very pleased with everything. The van had a sink with a water pump, a camp stove, a futon that can transform into a bed, a table, and lots of space! It was easy to drive and had great visibility! Highly recommend.... Read More

Easy pick up and drop off. I was even able to get an early pick up time for 9am on my first day. The van drove fine despite having over 200k miles on it. Felt every bump but hard to complain. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because the propane stove was terrible. The flame could only get so hot and it took an hour just to start simmering our curry. Running a second burner simultaneously yielded almost no flame at all - barely hot to the touch. Probably just a pressure issue. But still! This is an essential part of the rental! I hope my next rental doesn't have the same issue. Thankfully I brought my MSR hiking stove as a backup and we ended up using it for everything after the curry.... Read More

We had a great experience renting from Escape-Phoenix. Check-in & check-out were easy and all staff were friendly and helpful. We rented the Big Sur for a 1,000 mile trek through Arizona and had the best time in our van. It was clean, well-furbished, and quality. Would highly recommend!... Read More

How will I get by without a bathroom in the campervan?

While our Big Sur, Mavericks, and Santa Cruz models don’t have bathrooms, our renters do just fine using campground facilities and public restrooms, and practicing Leave No Trace principles when dispersed camping. It is a matter of your own comfort level, but the freedom that campervan travel gives you compared to RVs is worth it for many!

How many people can travel in the camper with me?

  • Big Sur: Seats 5, sleeps up to 5 (2-3 in queen bed, 2 in rooftop sleeper if added).
  • Mavericks: Seats 5, sleeps up to 5 (2-3 in queen bed, 2 in rooftop sleeper if added).
  • Santa Cruz: Seats and sleeps 2 (1 double bed).
  • Jeep Camper:  Seats up to 5 (designed for 2) and sleeps 2 (rooftop sleeper).

Seating is according to how many seat belts are available in each vehicle. You can always add the rooftop sleeper (Big Sur and Mavericks only, standard on Jeep Camper) or bring along our ground tent accessory to sleep more people. Bedding kits are available for rent to accommodate the number of people in your party.

Can I buy the van?

We occasionally sell our more “experienced” campervans—fit out, paint job, and all! Learn more about our used campervans for sale listed on our website, or contact vansales@escapecampervans.com to inquire about buying a campervan.
