Santa Cruz, The Ultimate 2 Person Campervan

The most fuel- and space-efficient of all of our models, the Santa Cruz was designed with spontaneity, freedom, and ease in mind – allowing you to chase the surf breaks, take detours, and find hidden gems. This latest model is perfect for solo road trippers or couples who don’t need the extra space that the Mesa or Mavericks offer. Get ready to zip around town, navigate tight turns, and get off the beaten track – without sacrificing any comforts or functionality.

Available in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas for trips starting May 1, 2019.

All of our campervans for rent are fully equipped, custom-built, and hand-painted. They’re perfect for long weekend getaways, cross-country bucket-list road trips, and national park tours. When you compare campervans to RVs, our small campervans provide functional comforts and the flexibility and freedom to get off the beaten path.

**Fuel economy will depend on speeds driven, terrain, weather, and road conditions.

Santa Cruz’s innovative layout makes it easy to plop into bed after a day of exploring. The full-time bed set up in the back is easy and functional. The space-saving kitchen in the back of the van includes a 1-burner pullout stove, 3.5-gallon sink & water tank, and dual-powered refrigerator. Store your clothes in the drawers, grab your groceries & hit the road!

Wir waren 4 Wochen mit dem Santa Cruz Campervan unterwegs. Der Platz ist begrenzt, aber für ein Paar absolut ausreichend, wenn man sich gut organisiert und nicht viel Zeug dabei hat. Stauraum ist begrenzt 😅 Wir wurden sehr oft auf das coole Design des Autos angesprochen. Technisch alles einwandfrei. Würden es jederzeit wieder so machen 😊

Another great experience with Escape. The staff at the San Francisco location was very friendly and pick up was easy. I had a great trip with “Zippy”, although it was smaller than the standard Santa Cruz with a different layout and less storage space. It was fine for just myself, but with two people, i would recommend going with a larger model.My trip got cut a little short due to the wildfires, but overall Zippy did a good job handling the twists and turns driving through the Redwoods and Crater Lake. I’m already looking forward to my next trip.

I have been using escape campervans on multiple occasions. This is my advice for owners and customers alike. San Francisco location should be renamed to San Jose since its much closer to San Jose International Airport than San Francisco. It’s not fair to customers to get hooked on two way Uber trip $ due to misleading information. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. Santa Cruz Van is a perfect choice for one person. Highly recommend.

I rented the Santa Cruz to Jushua Tree NP for the weekend.I really like the van. Compact and gas efficient. Good to drive, no mechanical issues.Clean and solid interior. The bed was big for one person and comfortable, lots of storage space.They gave an extract blanket, which is a lifesaver for winter temperature.
