The rental company

Escape Campervans, painted vans from coast to coast

You cannot miss an Escape van in an American car park: every body carries a different, brightly coloured mural. The brand, also present in Canada and New Zealand, covers a good part of the United States, with a depot in each of its 13 departure cities: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles on the Pacific, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Denver in the interior West, then Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Orlando and Miami.

Five automatic models make up the offer. The Santa Cruz has just two seats; the Mesa and the Mavericks have five, with two or three berths; the Del Mar Pop Top Campervan, with a pop-up roof, offers four. Apart from these, the Jeep Camper is a 4x4 topped with a roof tent for two. According to the rental company, its vans combine a kitchen area with a stove and sink and well-designed storage.

CoolDrive has not yet recorded any Escape offers in the United States: mileage, excess and prices can be read in each search result.

Our verdict: an original, easy-to-handle formula for couples, friends or a small family, with a network that is rare for vans. Less suited to those who want on-board bathroom facilities or to sleep five; and as no depot is in an airport terminal, plan the journey to the depot.

Our view

Escape Campervans: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Escape Campervans is ideal if…

  • You are travelling as a couple and prefer a short van, easy to park, to a big motorhome
  • Your trip starts in the East, from New York, Atlanta, Orlando or Miami
  • You are travelling as four and like the idea of the Del Mar Pop Top's pop-up roof
  • You are tempted by the idea of sleeping in a roof tent perched on a 4x4 Jeep
  • A colourful vehicle unlike any other is part of the trip for you

Escape Campervans is not ideal if…

  • You do not want to give up an on-board shower and toilet: Class C models from Cruise America or El Monte RV are better suited
  • There are five of you and everyone must sleep in the vehicle: four berths at most
  • Your route starts in Anchorage: look at GoNorth Alaska instead
  • You plan to get behind the wheel straight off the plane, without a transfer
  • You prefer the discretion of white bodywork
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Escape Campervans

  1. Count seats and beds separately

    At Escape, seats and berths do not always match. The Mesa carries five people but sleeps only two, the Mavericks three, and only the Del Mar Pop Top takes four for the night. The Santa Cruz is for pairs only. If part of the group sleeps in a tent or a motel, a five-seat model may be enough.

  2. Plan the route from the depot

    With 13 cities, each departure opens up a different road: Highway 1 between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Utah parks from Salt Lake City or Las Vegas, the Rockies around Denver, the Grand Canyon from Phoenix, the Keys south of Miami. From Chicago, historic Route 66 heads off towards California.

  3. Organise the journey to the depot

    No Escape depot is located in an airport. The New York depot is in Jersey City, on the other bank of the Hudson; the San Francisco one in Milpitas, south of the bay; the Seattle one in Des Moines, south of the city. Find the address on the sheet and check the key handover time before booking your flight.

  4. Take your time over the handover inspection

    On departure day, spend ten minutes with the staff member inspecting the bodywork: every scratch spotted must be on the condition report, with photos to back it up. Light the stove, run the sink tap, test the lights and check the kitchen inventory. Also write down Escape's emergency line somewhere other than your phone: in the deserts of the West, the signal often disappears.

  5. Book your nights in the big parks

    Without on-board bathroom facilities, campgrounds become your bases. Those at Yosemite, Zion or the Grand Canyon are snapped up in spring and summer: secure your pitches as soon as your hire dates are fixed. Elsewhere, national forests often offer simpler sites, with or without booking.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Escape Campervans

How much does an Escape Campervans hire cost in the United States?

CoolDrive does not yet have recorded rates for Escape Campervans in the United States. The amount varies with the van chosen, the depot, the period and the number of days. For a reliable figure, run a search with your dates and departure point: each result gives a total including mandatory fees, then details miles, excess and options before any payment.

Which Escape van should I choose for my trip?

For two, the Santa Cruz is enough and remains the easiest to handle. The Mesa carries five passengers with two berths, the Mavericks has three berths. A family of four will go for the Del Mar Pop Top Campervan and its pop-up roof. For dirt tracks and nights up high, the Jeep Camper combines a 4x4 with a roof tent for two.

Where are the Escape Campervans depots in the United States?

Escape has a depot in each of its 13 cities: Seattle (in Des Moines), Portland, San Francisco (in Milpitas), Los Angeles (in Inglewood, entrance on Buford Avenue), Las Vegas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver (in Commerce City), Chicago (in Villa Park), Atlanta (in East Point), New York (in Jersey City), Orlando and Miami. None is at an airport: allow for a transfer.

What is on board an Escape Campervans van?

According to the rental company's description, each van combines a bed, a kitchen area with a stove and sink, and storage. The models listed mention neither a shower nor a toilet: rely on campgrounds and equipped sites. Bedding, crockery and small equipment may depend on a kit; each vehicle's sheet and the offer details specify what is provided.

Are miles unlimited with Escape in the United States?

We cannot say yet from our records, as no Escape offers have been observed in the United States. The miles included, or their price beyond a set allowance, are given in each offer shown by CoolDrive. On an American road trip, distances add up fast: estimate your mileage before comparing, especially if you are linking several national parks.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Escape Campervans campervan hire in the United States

Why book Escape Campervans with CoolDrive?

A CoolDrive search puts Escape vans side by side with the motorhomes and vans of other American rental companies, each offer showing a total including mandatory fees. Miles, excess and extras appear before payment. If you are torn between thirteen departure cities or between a van and an overcab, our experts help you decide according to your route and your group.

Can I return the Escape van in a different city?

The network lends itself to it: from Seattle to Los Angeles along the coast, from Las Vegas to Denver via the canyons, or even from coast to coast. Everything depends on availability on your dates, and fees may be added. Enter your arrival city when searching: the search engine then keeps only the offers compatible with that journey, total price included.

Do I need a special licence for an Escape van?

A car driving licence is enough for the vans as well as the Jeep Camper. If it is not in English, bring an international driving permit. As for age, Escape sets its own rules: minimum age, required years of driving licence, any surcharge for less experienced drivers. These points are given in each offer; read them again before confirming.

What do we know about the Escape excess in the United States?

Our records do not yet give an excess amount for Escape in the United States. Each offer states it, along with the security deposit, generally held on a credit card, and any paid cover to reduce the amount left for you to pay. Before departure, make sure your card limit covers the amount requested.

Can the Jeep Camper leave the tarmac?

It is an automatic 4x4, topped with a roof tent for two, designed for wide open spaces. The dirt tracks and unsealed roads allowed do, however, depend on the rental company's terms, which often exclude certain areas. Read this list before planning your route, particularly in the deserts of Utah or Arizona.

Can I cross into Canada with an Escape van?

Escape also hires out vans in Canada, but crossing the border with a vehicle picked up in the United States depends on the terms of each offer. From Seattle, Vancouver is only a few hours' drive away: if this detour tempts you, check that it is permitted before booking and keep the contract and insurance papers with you.
