Comment: 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!

Comment: 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!

Comment: 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

Comment: 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!

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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!

Comment: 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!!🇺🇸

Comment: Escape campervan LA did a good service. The van was lovely and had everything you needed for a great roadtrip :) The only thing we have to say is that the 100 miles a day is too low in a country like USA but the price per extra mile is okay so still 5 stars!

Comment: Let me just start by saying we definitely got the oldest campervan on the road with the most boring & chipped paint job possible which was an extreme disappointment compared to the rest of the beautifully painted campervans in the lot & on the road. The lady at pickup said all the vans were pre-booked so she wasn’t able to get us a different one. Ours looked like maybe the drivers side had been repainted at one point but the passenger side of the van looked neglected. We had the Maverick van, pickup in LA and drop off in San Fran (actually Milpitas because the San Fran lot closed?)-the interior media system had clearly been replaced already with an older system that requires an aux cord in order to play your phone on the speakers however, the latest apple iphones do not even have aux ports anymore and the usb port kept reading “N/A usb” whenever we tried to connect our iPhones to it which was another disappointment. We ended up buying a portable bluetooth speaker in order to listen to our own music and be able to use audio tour apps.-The constant manifold sound with acceleration was also terrible to listen to the entire trip.-We paid extra to get the camp chair package; the camp chairs are the smallest, cheapest, most uncomfortable camp chairs I’ve ever seen or sat in, not to mention ours had stains from the previous users. If I didn’t know any better I could of sworn these were children’s chairs.. as my husband & I found these were very very small for us average sized adults.-The side doors to the van could use some latches to hold them open as many of the campsites we stayed at in California did not have any areas with flat terrain so the doors always swung closed on you every time you would try to open them to get in or out of the van.-The bedding package had 2 pillows, a fitting sheet, and comforter which did the trick for sleep; the cushions that fold into a bed were surprisingly quite comfortable.-The kitchen package had everything we needed to cook simple camp meals; although the teetowel they supplied to dry dishes is a material that does not actually dry, it just pushes the water around making an ever bigger mess, so be sure to buy paper towels for your trip! (We also used the papertowels for our coffee filters in the pour-over drip coffee attachment that was included with the kitchen kit.)-The velcros to hold the curtains together need improvement- we found they were either missing, ripped out or didn’t exist; so when we wanted to pull the curtains closed across all windows, we weren’t able to get a solid seal and each window had gaps where light would come through and privacy was not able to be maintained.-The canopy we also purchased extra thinking it would be a nice backdoor covering from rain/sun; we didn’t even bother opening it, as its just a small little magnetic plastic piece.-Gas, we filled up our tank the morning of return then drove 30mins out of our way to return the van at the Milpitas lot. We had unloaded all our belongings and were ready to leave when the worker literally made us put all our belongings back in the van and go fill up the tank to “full” because our tank wasn’t “all the way to the full line” when we tried to return it. The worker said there was a gas station down the road, which we then went to, but it only accepted cards from major fleets? Would not accept either of our Canadian credit cards so then we had to waste more time and gas driving around further just to fill the gas to the brim, meanwhile nowhere on the escapecampervan return papers does it say the van has to be completely full..?-All in all, we made do with what we had for our 10day trip up the California coast. If we ever decide to do the campervan route again for a trip, hopefully we will get a newer, more updated & functional van or maybe go with a different company.

Comment: Highly recommend Escape Campervans! Everyone was so helpful and kind from beginning to end, and the round trip from Portland, OR to Vancouver, CA was seamless. “Chromie” was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Looking forward to booking again next time we’re in the PNW!

Comment: I would highly recommend Escape Campervans! We were a party of 2 taking a 10 day trip through California, Nevada, utah and Arizona. The van was comfortable with an easy dining to bedroom conversion, had so much space and was perfect for our needs! Chris at the LA office was wonderful; super friendly and professional and made sure we had everything we needed before we hit the road. Can’t fault anything with the van itself - great on fuel consumption, it drove like a dream and is clearly well maintained by the team and in-house mechanics in LA; making one less thing to worry about on the road! As an added bonus, all the vans have beautiful colourful paintwork and definitely make for great Instagram posts 🤣 We had the most amazing trip and can’t thank Escape Campervans enough!

Comment: 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. 😊

Comment: Awesome campervan company. Staff are great. Vehicles are great value. I took Hyperspace to the Sierra Nevadas, Black Rock City, Ancient Bristlecone forest, Las Vegas, San Diego, Yosemite and returned it to LA. I even got married in it at a drive thru wedding chapel. Was an amazing trip and the vehicle was always reliable.

Comment: We had a great experience with Escape. Our van was a Maverick model called, “The Dollhouse.” We christened her “Dolly” and drove her all the to Vancouver Island and back without a hitch. We had the van for 6 weeks and drove it over 5500 miles.We picked her up from the Inglewood branch and our main contact was Chris. He was extremely helpful, friendly and and relaxed.The only maintenance the van required over 6 weeks and thousands of miles was an oil change in Vancouver - which Escape reimbursed us for. The mechanic doing the oil change gave the van a quick diagnostic in case there were any unseen problems and told us that he’d never seen a vehicle with so many miles on it in such good condition.I think choosing one of the bigger branches for your pick-up is a good idea. You definitely want to use one that has mechanics on site and not every depot does.Overall, our experience with Escape was pretty close to perfect.

Comment: My friend and I had the best time ever in our Escape Van! Booking their Van online from home was super simple and trustful.While arriving at their rental place, we were welcomed by the nicest staff ever and got our van straight away after checking in.We were traveling around California for two weeks and had nothing but a good time in our cool-looking van that brought a true american feeling to us.Camping in their van was comfortable and the van itself was super reliable, knowing that we drove 2000 miles with not a single techn issue. Having their company located in Los Angeles, San Francisco and a couple more places around California gave us an additional feeling of safety.Since we had previous financial surprises with other company, I was happy to have found Escape Campervans as a genuine and transparent company that doesnt surprise you with unforeseen costs.Highly recommend🤟🏼PS: dont forget to check their leftover-lockers if you need equipment or have leftovers yourself.

Comment: Excellent campervan rental. It was important for us to be able to rent one-way, L.A. to Seattle; Escape was the only rental agency that I found that does that. Our van was quite old (11 years) with, as I recall, 364k miles, but it was in very good condition - just a few of the interior trim pieces were missing. I did notice that the tire pressure of the two front tires was quite far off; handling improved markedly when I corrected this.

Comment: We rented a Mavericks Campervan for 2.5 weeks from LA. Pick-up was super fast, smooth, and easy. The rental location is pretty close to LAX and about 10 min Uber/Lyft drive. Even though we were ahead of the booked pick-up time we were able to get our van earlier and the staff was so nice and friendly. The drop-off was also super easy and fast. The van and all the booked equipment (kitchen kit, bedding etc.) were super clean. After a couple of days driving the engine light went on. We called the Escape Campervans Road Assistance. They responded immediately and were very supportive throughout the whole time. We eventually got a new vehicle in Las Vegas. The van exchange was super easy, fast, and smooth so we did not lose any time on our trip.We had such a great and memorable time and a fun adventure with our campervan! The only thing I would wish is that they would include more miles since 100mi per day is not much. But overall, I would definitely recommend renting a vehicle from Escape Campervans and we will definitely do it for our next Road Trip-Camping-Adventure! 5 Stars!

Comment: We had a wonderful time in our Maverick van, Fantasyland! We had so many compliments on the purple and blue mushroom design! The layout was also so convenient and we loved having the kitchen set up. Having a fridge and being able to cook all our food helped us save money and not have to wait to find food. Also, the bed was surprisingly comfy and we slept through the night every night. Customer service was also very friendly and responsive. :) We can’t wait to go on our next road trip in a Maverick van!

Comment: We were going to have to cancel our trip. I googled camper vans near me and found Escape Campervans within 4 hours we picked up the van and we’re on our way on our 4th of July Holiday. Shelby was awesome she was so helpful went we picked up our van and greeted us with a smile! We would definitely recommend using Escape Campervans. Our van was clean, reliable, easy checkout and easy checking. Thank you!! Escape Campervans for giving us an alternative to tent camping or renting a big trailor. Play and plan your next adventure with Escape Campervans!

We hit 3 campsites which would have been horrible if tent camping. The van was comfortable, easy to use, and well stocked. I plan to use Escape again and again!!!

Comment: Fun but too expensive. I rented the van for 4 days with a max of 400 miles, I will get charged 45 cents or compensated if I return less than 400. I honestly think van should be at least unlimited if rented out for more than 3 days. We had the mavericks which had a sleeper on top of the van. Setup was a little tricky at first but we became pros after the first night. The van came with the fridge and sink, super convenient as we did the dispersed camping along the coast of PCH. Cons: I don’t like they gave us a wobbly table inside. We couldn’t use it at all. Even the cup holder inside was broken we couldn’t eat inside comfortably at all. The associate should have made sure all the items the van came with are functional before renting it out or at least told renters like me they aren’t functional. Also, it costs $150 to fill up gas tank. Hope this review helps.

Comment: Chris was great in getting us checked in & turn out to be the person that checked us out as well! Super friendly & answered all our questions. We had a great time with our van going to Coachella & then having an extra night beach camping. We did a maverick van, which was perfect for the two of us and made it super easy to go to the festival and not need to buy a ton or pack a lot since we were flying in form the East Coast. We for sure will be checking them out again when we come back for Coachella or go to another festival!

Comment: We spent our spring break in the Del Mar and can’t speak highly enough about our experience. Our first three days were cold, windy, and rainy but we stayed dry and warm. It’s a well thought out setup and easy to navigate on the road (is, north sections of hwy one).The kitchen has all our needs covers and the fridge holds a surprising amount of food. The beds are comfortable, lots of charging ports, a great experience and we all had a wonderful time. I highly recommend renting from escape campervans and plan on doing so again.

Comment: We had the 24/7 roadside assistance in our package. We got the low air tire light an hour into our drive on our trip. And we went to a Costco Fullerton to add air only to find out that the tire was flat.Called for service at 920 pm for flat and only got the voice service. Left a message and received a text response at 1026 PM. Danielle responded when we called back. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to get any service in Fullerton until the following morning. Additionally, we couldn’t settle into Costco since the security asked us to leave so luckily we were able to park at Walmart just down the street. This will be important to assessing the tired. Side note, Danielle was an awesome assistant. Caring, compassionate and helpful in her following up.We were able to get our tires changed at around at 730 in the morning. Unfortunately, AAA wouldn’t take the business card over the phone with the company road side assistance so we had to front the payment. We were told we would be reimbursed. Once the tire was changed, we noticed it wasn’t a full size tire but an old spare with rusted rims. We knew we couldn’t get to Phoenix on it so we took it back. We asked the AAA mechanic what he thought the issue was and he says it could be just defective since the tire looks new.When we got to the office, we mentioned the situation and Shelby was the least empathetic or helpful person. Given that we didn’t even leave town an hour away, and we know we didn’t hit anything to cause any issue with the tire, we asked if we could work an extra day for our troubles of losing a day. Shelby was super combative at that point and said it doesn’t. After making the case again, she said she’ll ask home office. She came back and said, if there’s no nails, or other issues, then we can get the additional day, otherwise, it would be an additional change. Seems fair since we knew we didn’t hit anything. So when they assessed the tire, she then made the claim that we hit something. I attached the picture of the tire. The claim was we hit something on the left Firestone logo on the left side of the picture. There’s no scuff marks there. We do show ware with a rim but, that’s because we went to a location to fill the tire (to Costco) which we though was just low air (not flat), and we had to move to Walmart.Our next car that we got was great and worked well. It got a two stars because our lady that serviced us was not remotely empathetic but the van worked well. If you get nocturnal van (our first van) I would also check the Bluetooth since it never worked for us. Also note, the insurance coverage is a waste of money. We needed the tire changed and we also had to pay for the AAA out of pocket.

The staff at the LA location were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The Maverick van was clean and comfortable, drove smoothly, and the layout very functional. I will rent from Escape Campervans without hesitation should the opportunity arise in the future!

Comment: This is our second time renting from Escape CamperVans and both times we have had an excellent experience. The vans are equipped with all you could need. If you aren’t local - highly recommend renting a kitchen kit and bedding kit as it is very reasonably priced for what you’ll get for your trip. We have rented a Big Sur model both time and it’s worth the extra money for some extra room and a back up camera. We will certainly use them again!

Comment: Jamie is the best!! Super chill and professional check out and check in. Silly me left AirPods in the the van and they called next day to let me know they found them and come to find out, my kid had left theirs behind as well. Great integrity and in line with every escape trip we taken. I will come back often to this company and its people. Now I’m free to go about my day 😄! Also found out they have Jeeps! So many options, always clean, always functional, always comfy, always fun. Lots of family memories tied to an escape camper van. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Comment: Loved our adventure with escape campervans. We drove almost 3000 miles over the West Coast in a Maverick. Cars equipment had minor issues like leaking faucet or a stove that kept pulling out on its own while driving but it was all nothing compared to the overall experience. We had no mechanical or other issues with the car despite its considerable mileage. The bed was very comfortable, fridge kept our food and drinks super cold even in hot temperatures outside and we had it turned to only half the full power. Only problem I had was to find the right position behind the steering wheel, never felt really good, but thats rather my personal thing. We loved the service in LA office, everything was done very quickly and kindly. Recommend strongly.

Comment: We rented the van for 4 weeks, picked up in LA, dropped off in Denver - pick up and check in were easy. We camped in major cities and in national parks with no problem. Bed was more comfortable than we thought. Van was super reliable and in great shape. There is no roof vent - it can get a little hot at night in summer - we had a re-chargeable fan we hung from the ceiling and that worked great.

Comment: We used our Escape Camper van to drive the Pacific Coast Highway to Napa. Renting, pickup, and drop off went like a breeze. The paint jobs are so unique, and you experience a sense on oneness with the other Escape Vans on the road. Van drive like charm, was very clean. 4/5 traveled very comfortably. I so want to do this again.

Comment: We rented a Santa Cruz model for 2 people for 4 weeks across the west coast - pickup in San Francisco and drop off in LA. This was possibly the best 4 weeks of my life! Each campervan is hand painted with a unique design and given a name accordingly (ours was called Confetti). This is the smallest model that Escape rent out but it was plenty big enough for 2! Kitchen is equipped with a pump sink, one hob and a fridge (which actually worked incredibly well the entire time). We had 2800 miles included in our 4 weeks but we did go over and had to pay for an extra 548 miles at 30cents per mile on drop off. The van did really well with gas and we had zero issues other than having to pump up one tire (which in the space of 4 weeks is to be expected). It was heartbreaking to part with Confetti at the end of the trip and I would 100% do this again with Escape Campervans. They were so easy to communicate with and prices were much higher when we looked at other companies. Highly recommend!!

Comment: Beautiful artwork for the vehicles, does the job and has what you need however pretty expensive when you factor in mileage fees. Unfortunately we ran into a dead car battery when we didnt overuse the vehicle at all and no partial compensation was provided. 5 stars if not for the dead battery.

Comment: We had such a great experience with our Maverick Campervan “Kona” on our trip from Los Angeles to Bass Lake. We were able to pack gear for the four of us including a large tent, netted shade tent, extra fold-out table, 4 chairs, 2 duffel bags, a suitcase, 3 large food and gear totes, 2 coolers, and other small bags of necessities. The kitchen on the back with water was really convenient and the bed in the van was super comfortable. I was worried about the high mileage but the van didn’t have any problems driving over the grapevine and into the mountains. Definitely recommend and we can’t wait for our next trip!

Comment: We rented the Maverick and traveled from LA to Salt Lake City Utah! The van did incredible for the full 1700+ mile trip. The van had everything we could have needed with the extra kitchen kit and linen kit.In the future, I’d maybe rent the next van size up. Those models tend to be a little newer and I think you don’t have to undo and remake the bed to have some extra seating.There was a slight issue with the water tank but Escape took care of it and provided me with a rebate.Can’t recommend enough!

Comment: This was the second time weve had an Escape Campervan, we can not speak more highly of them! Customer service is prompt, helpful and friendly, really excellent staff.The vans themselves are spectacular, we had a maverick the forst time and a Big Sur this time which we loved. it was roomy enough for our family of 4 and a real bonus not to have to collapse the bed every day when driving. The van is easy to drive and we love the designs.Already planning our next adventure!

Comment: Absolutely loved working with Escape Campervans and was a highlight to my trip! Although we didnt get to stay in the campervan for most of our nights (because 100+ weather in arches national park even at 11pm) we still loved the van and used it everyday to cook our meals and to travel between the parks we visited. Definitely pay attention to the weather and time of year you plan on traveling, but the van was clean, comfortable, and the kitchen set up is very convenient! The small fridge was a game changer to storing food so we only had to shop on day 1 for our 10 day trip! Would definitely use again!

Comment: Good to start out camping. The camper vans are pretty bares bones. They have a pump sink in the back and a shelf for a camp stove. There’s a bed in the middle that uses the bench and some platforms. Not anything extensive. Was a nice way to get your camping feet wet but isn’t much more luxurious than a tent with only slightly less set up.

Comment: Rented the smallest of the camper options and it was perfect size for the two of us. The van was really easy to drive and very comfy to sleep in. We got lots of complements on the road for the fun design :)They do charge extra for the little things (bedding, kitchen stuff, additional miles at the end of the trip... more than 100 miles a day) so I would be sure to take this into account while you budget your trip. We didn’t go very far each day but still went over the 100/day in the end but it was worth it :) I definitely recommend

Comment: The van was a great way to explore a few national parks in California. I’m giving it 4 stars for a few reasons like the storage system being difficult to open and a one burner stove that doesn’t have a way to protect from the wind. The one thing to watch out for is the daily mileage average of 100 miles that doesn’t get you very far during a 2 week road trip.

Comment: The good: Great friendly accommodating service. They allowed us to schedule an earlier pick-up time which was a big help since our flight came in early and we had a big day of driving ahead of us. Also, the on board battery was able and solar was able to keep the surprisingly spacious small fridge very cool. It was great to forgo the ice chest and finding ice, draining the cooler and all that hassle. And I have to say, I love the art work on all the vans. Very original and fun. The price was also very fair and the most affordable option I could find.The not so good: The van was had 200K miles and had some issues. The biggest was the bed didnt go completely flat until we figured out how to fix it the second day of our trip. That first night was not pleasant. Even after fixing it, the table top/secondary platform that support the foot of the bed would collapse in if you put your weight in the wrong place. We figured out a hack for that the 3rd night. Also the mileage was lower than expected at around 16mpg. Not horrible, but they advertise 20 mpg on their website. We also had the van stall when decelerating rapidly. A bit scary when on the freeway when hitting traffic. Oh, and the check engine light came on during our trip which I believe was a failing gas cap since it would go off when I adjusted the cap. They also require the renter to be responsible for engine problems due to low oil, tire damage, etc. This seems unreasonable. They shouldnt rent out vans that burn or leak oil and would require additional oil after 2 gas changes.Overall I think I would recommend Escape if you are on a tight budget and are okay with the risk an older van brings (or if you can get a newer van). I dont think we will use them again. I wanted to enjoy the trip, not worry about whether the van would make it. They did give us a $50 credit for the hassle we had with the bed which I appreciate, but it still didnt make up for the increased anxiety.

Comment: My wife and I rented the day of to escape the bad air in LA. The whole process was seamless; we reserved online, received a call in a few moments, and picked it up just a couple hour later and we were on our way.Escape Caravans is a fantastic and relatively inexpensive way to road trip. We covered ~2,000 miles. The van cost (rental, full insurance, gas, mileage) came out just over $1,600. Add national parks, and food on top and the total just came in under $2,000. So, 2k miles, 6 national parks, 11 nights, no shortage of food or beer at under $200 a day. Add on the great customer service, the epic experience, and countless memories and you have what can only be considered a great deal.We highly recommend this experience and we will absolutely use Escape Campervans again!

The young lady, whose name I forgot, provided fantastic customer service and took time to show me several types and features. Will definitely consider a rental for our next family adventure. These creative type businesses are great for making the best during this season of COVID-19.

Comment: The van and trip was really cool, but DO NOT RENT THE BIKE RACKS. They improperly installed the racks and they are very old/falling apart. I put on my $5k full-suspension mountain bike and it fell off on the freeway! It cause a collision behind us and completely destroyed my brand new bike. Im now dealing with people insurances calling me, all because of this broken bike rack they gave us with confidence and their word. I still havent heard anything back from Escape about reimbursing me or taking liability for the accident and their faulty equipment. If they do not do so, I will have to take legal action against them.

Comment: We rented the Mavericks camper van and were as happy as could be with our new home for a week. Our journey took us from the Escape location in Los Angeles to Leo Carrillo campground for our first evening; then we made our way to Sequoia National Park, saw General Sherman, and camped out at Potwisha campground. From there, we headed over to Death Valley, then to Joshua Tree, and then back to LA.For the course of a week, this van was our home. On the airplane, my girlfriend and I discussed renting a hotel on our last night because maybe wed be tired of living in the van: wed play it by ear. We completely kiboshed the hotel plan during our trip, because we were so happy living in, and waking up in, our van. Were from the east coast, so we were used to waking up earlier; this was perfect, because wed toss the curtains aside, snuggle, and watch the sun begin to rise. Id get out of the van in the morning to begin cooking, and at the end of the day, Id be so wiped that my girlfriend would handle cooking dinner.We had the perfect thing going. This beauty of a campervan got us where we needed to be, and was very manageable to drive on some of the crazier mountain roads; it did very well in Sequoia National Park en route to see General Sherman, where there are hairpin turns and switchbacks, left-right-and-center.The kitchen (complete with a pump-sink, stove, and, if you add the kitchen kit, plates, bowls, cutlery, spatula, spoon, 2 pots, a frying pan, and a scrubber) was everything we needed it to be. During a dust storm in Death Valley, we visited a restaurant for the first time during our visit because standing outside for 2 seconds was enough to fill your eyes and mouth with desert dust. That was a rough night, but it was only one night, so there was no damage to our wonderful camper van.We miss our van-home, and would absolutely recommend & rent from Escape, again. 5-stars well deserved for a fantastic automobile and wonderful service from the folks at the Escape location in Los Angeles.

Comment: This was my second year in Cali, so naturally a second ride with Escape. I spent the first week at Wasteland Weekend and got a lot of positive reactions despite it being more Burning Man than Mad Max but all in all, people recognized me as the guy with the fancy van.We went fully boondock except one night where we camper at Fire Valley (Nevada) because we needed showers, and the van treated us well.We also visited San Bernardino National forest and it was a bit cold (a heater would be recommended) but SO beautiful, also to hike there in the morning.Next year Ill definitely hire at Escape again.

Comment: My 5 year old son and I did a 9 day trip around California and we have nothing but nice things to say about our experience with Escape Campervans. The guys at the counter near LAX was very helpful and friendly. The van was great!!! The fact that the indoor light and fridge are connected to the solar panel and not the car battery is huge. They clearly know what they are doing from that to the velcro for the curtains to make sure they shut, the maps, the drawers that stay shut when driving, etc. Would definitely use them again.

Comment: My wife and I rented a campervan from Escape Campervans to drive from Los Angeles, CA to Portland, OR. We rented the Maverick, named Tug, and had an absolute blast. The van was a bit older, but it was clean, dependable, and a pleasure to drive. It was certainly a talking point with people we met along the way. Also, it was fun seeing all the other Escape Vans on the road as we waved at each other passing by.

Comment: Out trip went to Yosemite and down Highway 1 in California. Despite that we had some illness and our car broke down, it was a great trip! Stuff happens, and Escape Campervans was helpful and we got everything settled so we could enjoy our last part of the trip. Renting through Campervan is quick and easy, and they have a lot of suggestions on their website on where you could travel and etc. The van we rented is small enough to not be a hassle to deal with, but big enough so you can fit all your necessary gear and still that you have a good amount of space. The good part about renting a campervan is that you can go anywhere, and you can find spots that you would never find if you stayed at hotels and etc. It is not clamping, but way better. It is refreshing to camp on the campgrounds, wash dishes and make fires in the woods.

Comment: Overall we had a great road trip with our Mavericks van.Positives: The vans are VERY cool. You get a lot of attention and they look awesome on photos. The driver’s seat was comfortable and the van is easy to handle. The van’s kitchen was well equipped and saved us a ton on restaurants. We are a family of 4 and we made breakfast and dinner daily. The roof sleeper was pretty comfortable. I am 6’3 and slept well although my toes stuck out of the back at times.Negatives: the interior bed is not even and very uncomfortable for adults. It breaks your back. The van is VERY thirsty so you spend a ton on gas.

This was our first real road trip and the van made it so easy, and crazy fun! We loved being able to hang out in the van, cook, have a sink, and being able to drive it in the city. We will definitely be using Escape Campervans again and I would recommend this company to anyone. Hoping they get a San Diego location soon :)

Comment: We had a fantastic time with our Regatta. Despite having stated a later pickup time we were able to get our van earlier without hassle. The service was super friendly, we got good tips for travelling and getting around.I loved the guide book in the van, it was filled with extremely useful tips. Im not one to read manuals or guide books of that sort but this one I read cover to cover.We had a new maverick which was perfectly equipped to get in and go. Coming from Europe, it meant we could leave sleeping bags and camping gear at home and just pack the things we really needed.What we didnt expect was how much gas the van burns. Even though gas prices are so low in the states, with the maverick we wound up spending more per mile than back home in Europe where the gallon costs over $5.Returning was also amazingly uncomplicated. We were out of there in less than 10 minutes.Thanks for making our trip unforgettable.

Comment: Renting an escape campervan was kinda mixed (but mostly positive) experience: The staff at the pickup point in LA was nice and helpful. Our van already had far more than 187000 miles on its back and right after we left LA the warning light for the engine came up. The so called „road assistance“ was a bummer first time we called. After a couple of phone calls one guy at least helped us finding a service station without painful detours. There was a Problem with the indicator for the fuel... could have been worse! We decided to go on and beside this incident „bonfire“ (the name of the car!) was pretty reliable. Well, also keep in mind that the battery for the fridge might die while driving through hot regions in summer... no one told us and some food went bad. Anyway, we had great trip and escape really tried to make it up for us in the end. Overall: Thumbs up!

Comment: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time - this weekend I was incredibly BLESSED with the opportunity to test out the Maverick Camper by Escape Campervans. This opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time since my cat recently just passed away, and I do not take a second of this for granted. So where did we decide to go? First on the list, Morro Bay! My (now) husband and I fell in love in Morro Bay 6 years ago, and then he proposed to me at the Morro Bay Rock 2 years later. We figured we would bring our cat’s ashes to “The Rock” as a final resting place so we can make an effort to return as often as possible. After our day in Morro Bay, we continued on along the majestic Pacific Coast Highway until we reached Big Sur on Hwy 1.I’ve done this road trip many times since childhood, but it felt like an entirely new experience doing the trip in a campervan. I am, now, totally convinced that the #vanlife is for me. Here are my thoughts on the Maverick #JetsonVan.TRAVELING IN STYLE - I just LOVE LOVE LOVED the custom painted design on our campervan. Just seeing the beautiful colors and design put a smile on my face and made me happy. It brought out my inner-child and a reignited a new sense of adventure and curiosity that I haven’t felt since I was in grade-school. We need more of this in our everyday lives. Thank you Escape Campervans for reminding me of this.ROAD TRIP READY - I’ve done road trips, but never like THIS! The Maverick has everything you need to have the most relaxing, easy, and hassle-free experience ever. The campervan is so well-designed and packed with handy and useful features that really make your trip a breeze. I was able to spend less time packing and setting up, and more time to play. Escape Campervans also came with everything you can think of -- chairs, bedding, pots/pans, bowls/cups/utensils, you name it! There was very little that we needed to pack from home. Below are a few of our favorite featuresRooftop sleeper - This is a MUST! It was so fun sleeping on the roof of the van. It’s a little tricky at first to get up and down, but we were able to get the hang of it in no time.Solar powered refrigerator - I don’t know how I lived without this. It was so nice having our food and drinks chilled without having to worry about a cooler of melting ice sloshing around.Storage - there is so much storage for all your gear so it’s so easy to stay organized.Trunk Kitchen - The kitchen is so convenient and it facilitates spur-of-the-moment cooking with very little set up or clean up required. The counter space was really nice for prepping and easy to clean.THE ROAD TO FREEDOM - Our Maverick became our home away from home, and the best part? We were able to bring it with us everywhere. It’s super easy and smooth to drive, and we had the freedom of the open road ahead of us. I loved being able to just pull over during lunch time and enjoy a meal wherever we decided to park. While we did our day trip to Big Sur, we picked a quiet, shady spot to park with an EPIC VIEW of the Pacific Ocean. And if you’ve ever driven along the PCH past Hearst Castle to Big Sur, you’ll know there are so many lookout points to stop for sightseeing.

Comment: We had an unforgettable experience and great adventures in Bernie, our Big Sur camper van, as we explored the central coast of California.My husband and I love tent camping, but the simplicity and ease of camper van life is hard to beat! We quickly hit the road each morning (after a cup of coffee, of course) and there wasnt much to set up each night. This really maximized our time for exploring.Bernie was very comfy for sleeping -- good support, blackout curtains, roomy and extremely quiet inside. We got plenty of quality sleep so we were always ready for the next days adventures. I wish I slept that well at home!I had never used a camp stove before but it was simple and efficient. We did a combo of camp fire and camp stove meals which worked perfectly for us.The staff at Escape Campervans is helpful, knowledgeable and quick to respond to questions. I HIGHLY recommend renting from Escape. You wont regret it!

Comment: Yes! I has a great time with escape and I found the customer service to be pleasing. I had an issue on the road which was dealt with by the service team. The rates were fair compared to many other rentals that I looked at.For sleeping room there was A LOT of room for myself and my girlfriend. This would easily sleep 3, could do 4 and it would be cosy (which is a polite way of saying slightly cramped.)The bedding and kitchen equipment came in handy. Plus the gas stove worked well and there was so much gas provided. We supplied with 3 little canisters for our 3 week trip and used just over 1.5 canisters.I found the vehicle easy each enough to drive once I got used to it (it was massive!).Overall a good experience and I will consider them for my next visit for a road trip in the States!

Comment: Awesome Maverick campervan and even more awesome service. The van was equipped with everything and was in perfect running order!From reserving the van from the site to the pickup location (we went to LA) to showing us some of the features of the van - seamless, easy, and no surprises other then what we experienced in our adventures.We drove to Joshua Tree, Crystal Cove, and Leo Carrillo state park. I couldnt believe how easy it was to drive for me (Im 52 woman). This was also an unexpected trip sorta of a last minute thing, so having this van was perfect. It had folding chairs, a hand towel, pots, stove, sink, blankets, curtains, and space for us to load lots of firewood and our clothes. All we did was buy some groceries and firewood!We would definitely recommend this kind of experience to our friends and actually have started talking about our next campervan trip!We really appreciated how great our experience was and the memories we got from seeing parts of California in the Maverick campervan!!

Comment: I have just finished a three week solo trip around the west coast of the US. This van was more than enough to cater for everything I needed. There was plenty of space, the bed was easy to convert and comfortable, the kitchen area was great, and the vehicle itself drove great and didnt miss a beat.I did over 3000 miles and the van life was definitely the best way I could imagine to see the sights. The freedom of transport was a must and the money I saved never paying accommodation or limiting meals bought was enormous. 5 stars and will be doing this again.

Comment: Had an absolute blast renting one of these for 3 months - everything about this van is perfect for travelling america the right way - on the road. The guys at the depots are friendly and helpful as anything at both check in, check out, and during your rental time with the van. I really have nothing to add except if youve even for a second *considered* it.. then DO IT. Its worth it, trust me!!

Comment: 3 girls, 1 boy, 3 weeks, 1 van, 4 states. We all had a great and unforgettable time together.The staff working at Escape Campervans is super chill, friendly and very helpful.The booking process was very easy, questions were answered quickly. When we picked up the van, we were given a nice tour with all the infos we needed about the van. The guy explained everything very well, like how we build up the bed and the roof tent. Once youve done it, its all super easy. :)What we didnt expect was this cabinet full of stuff people left after their trips. People who are starting their trip can use it. So we didnt have to buy salt/pepper, lamp fuel, olive oil, other cooking stuff etc. All the things youd buy and never use them to end. Nothing gets waisted and its very helpful!We can highly recommend Escape Campervans for your trip.Our van Dotty became our best friend. She made us food and coffee, washed the dishes, she took us miles and miles, she had a good taste of music ;) But most importantly she protected us from the worst stormy night you can ever imagine. That was exciting!Everyone on the campgrounds and streets talked to us because of the van, they all took pictures and they just loved the design and were questioning us about it. We just loved the feeling and everything about the whole trip. Escape made our trip super easy and fun, cant wait for the next adventure!

Comment: The Escape Campervan was one of the best vacations we ever had! My wife, me, and three kids (10, 8, and 6) had it for a week and drove from LA to Seattle. We also got the extra rooftop sleeper, and had plenty of room for the 5 of us. The pick up took about 1 hour because there were some other groups there just before us, but the kids walked around and watched the spray painting of a couple new vans. Once we got to picking up the van, the contract, and going through the van was super easy. folding out the bed, using the topper, and the stove are super easy. We did not have a regulator on the stove, so it always was on high, just had to adjust the cooking method slighty (ended up making the best pancakes i have ever made though when we were in the redwoods).Van was super easy to drive and got surprisingly good gas mileage. Didnt calculate, but we spent under $300 on gas for the full 1500 trip, which was less than i was expecting. after we left LA, we realized that we forgot to pick up the table we rented. we called the SF location and stopped there to pick one up. All people were very helpful and super excited to hear about our trip.Spots on the trip, highly recommend Samuel Taylor campground, right in the redwoods, and nice flat parking in the campground for even sleeping. The best spot was Gold Bluffs Beach Campground. 6 miles of dirt road to get there, first come-first serve camping, but we got a spot right on the beach. we would not be able to go to this site with an RV, too big. Elk wander through the campground as well. we didnt want to leave there. As a Goonies fan i highly recommend going through Astoria! even though you cant go up to the Walshs house, other spots are fun.Dropping off the van was also easy, quick review of car and contract, then receipt came right away after i left. Best thing to say about them, is that our kids have already started planning the next trip with Escape, Las Vegas and going to the Grand Canyon. Best way to travel. Thanks Escape Campervans, bring a location to MN for awesome trips up the north shore or superior!

Comment: Really decent camper, was perfect for our California adventure. Everything an adventurous couple needs to explore the deserts and mountains of the West Coast. Our only complaint, it took more than an hour to get the van when we showed up at our scheduled pick up time. Could have been done in 10 minutes.

Comment: Excellent experience of ultimate freedom while traveling around California. The relaxed Escape team delivered as promised. The campervan performed well during our 10-day trip across mountains and deserts. Would certainly do it again.

Comment: I just returned from an amazing vacation experience with my husband and 6 month old daughter traveling around California and Nevada campervan style! I loved the unique artistic designs of the vans and the travel comfort they provided as it easily converted from meal space, to chill time, to zzzz time! I have not been let down in the least, and would highly recommend it for those who like to travel off the beaten path...

Comment: This is a great camper van. I first saw these vans in New Zealand painted with album art-work and quotes and thought it was a great idea. Flash forward to now the American version, it is spacious, well maintained and very ergonomic. We brought our three year old along. His car seat had no issues connecting to the DOT rear bench in the Econoline. The extra battery for the heater at night was a plus and we never got chill. In the mornings we opened up the doors and relaxed in our warm van with the gorgeous California view.-Three by the Sea

Comment: The Mavericks van was a good size for 3 people for 7 days. The vehicle was kitted out in a way that made sense. I would rent from here again.
