Travellers Autobarn, the American road trip spirit by campervan

Originally from Australia, where it was founded, Travellers Autobarn also hires out vans in New Zealand, Japan and the United States. On the American side, its three depots form the classic triangle of the West: Los Angeles, with an address in Inglewood, San Francisco, with an address in Hayward, and Las Vegas. Between the three lie the Californian coast, Yosemite, Death Valley and the parks of Utah and Arizona.

The range brings together six automatic vehicles. For two, the Chubby Camper and the Beeva Camper; for three, the Hitop Camper and the Kuga Camper, with a raised roof; for five, the Hi5 Campervan and its four berths, or the Mini Van, with no berths, for those who prefer a tent or a motel.

CoolDrive observed 72 Travellers Autobarn offers in October 2026: none of them limits mileage.

Our view: a simple, budget-friendly formula with a camping spirit, ideal for young travellers and small budgets who want to clock up the miles. On the downside, no shower or toilet on board according to the rental company's description, more basic comfort than in a Class C RV, and only three departure cities.

Our view

Travellers Autobarn: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Travellers Autobarn is ideal if…

  • You want to string together California, Nevada and the national parks without counting the miles
  • Your budget is tight and the camping spirit does not put you off
  • You prefer a compact vehicle to a big RV for cities and mountain roads
  • There are four or five of you and the Hi5 Campervan is enough
  • You plan to sleep in a tent or a motel and just want a spacious vehicle

Travellers Autobarn is not ideal if…

  • A shower and toilet on board are essential for you
  • You are setting off from Florida, New York or Denver, where the rental company has no depot
  • You want a Class C RV: El Monte RV, Cruise America and Mighty offer them
  • You plan to go to Burning Man
  • You are looking for a new, fully equipped vehicle
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Travellers Autobarn

  1. Plan a loop around the triangle of the West

    Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco form a classic loop: Highway 1 along the Pacific, Yosemite, then Death Valley and the parks of Utah and Arizona. As mileage is unlimited in our observations, detours to Zion or the Grand Canyon only cost fuel.

  2. Beware of the desert heat in summer

    In July and August, Death Valley and the area around Las Vegas often exceed 40 °C. In a van, the heat barely drops at night: drive early in the morning, keep a generous supply of water and choose campsites at altitude for sleeping.

  3. Book campsites in the big parks in advance

    Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and Zion draw crowds in spring and summer, and their campsites are often booked months ahead. Fix your van dates first, then reserve your nights in the parks as soon as bookings open.

  4. Check the van with the agent at departure

    Walk round the vehicle, photograph every dent and note it on the contract. Also check the fridge, the auxiliary battery and the contents of the kits if you took any. Save the rental company's assistance number: on long desert roads, there may be no mobile signal.

  5. With the Mini Van, plan where to sleep

    The Mini Van carries five people but has no berths. It suits those staying in motels or camping in a tent. If you want to sleep in the vehicle, choose a Hitop Camper, a Kuga Camper or the Hi5 Campervan instead.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Travellers Autobarn

How much does a Travellers Autobarn hire cost in the United States?

Over a 15-day hire, our prices observed in October 2026, mandatory fees included, start at €39 per day for the Mini Van in January. For a campervan, the median is around €55 per day in January, then climbs to around €94 in July, €97 in April and €99 in October. The Hi5 Campervan remains the most expensive, up to about €144 per day.

Where can I pick up a Travellers Autobarn van in the United States?

Three addresses: 500 West Florence Avenue, in Inglewood, not far from Los Angeles airport; 1997 West Winton Avenue, in Hayward, on the east shore of San Francisco Bay; and 3050 West Sirius Avenue, in Las Vegas. None is in a terminal: arrange your transfer and check the key handover times.

Which Travellers Autobarn campervan should I choose?

As a couple, the Chubby Camper or the Beeva Camper offer two berths in an easy-to-handle size. For three, go for the Hitop Camper or the Kuga Camper, with more headroom. A family of four or five will take the Hi5 Campervan. The Mini Van has no bed: it is mainly for driving.

Are miles unlimited with Travellers Autobarn?

Yes, according to our observations: whatever the model, none of the 72 Travellers Autobarn offers observed in October 2026 sets a mileage limit. In the United States, by contrast, many RVs are hired with metered miles; for a big circuit between California and the parks of the South-West, the difference soon adds up. Check the line in the chosen offer.

Do Travellers Autobarn vans have a shower and toilet?

No, according to the rental company's presentation: its vans offer a bed and a kitchenette, but no bathroom facilities. You therefore need to rely on campsites, which are plentiful in the national parks and forests of the West, as well as on equipped service areas. A solar shower has sometimes been offered as an option: check this in the offer.

The rental in the US went well. Although I had some trouble reaching people to clarify a few points once on site, there were no issues in the end. The RV on-site was great, spacious, fully equipped, and met our expectations.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Travellers Autobarn campervan hire in the United States

Why book Travellers Autobarn with CoolDrive?

On CoolDrive, Travellers Autobarn vans are displayed alongside the RVs of other American rental companies, each with a total price that includes mandatory fees. Mileage, options and conditions are visible before payment. Torn between a van and a Class C, or between Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Our experts guide you according to your itinerary.

How old do I need to be to hire a Travellers Autobarn van?

The rental company generally accepts drivers from the age of 21, which makes it an attractive option for young travellers. The exact age, the length of time you must have held your licence and any young driver fees are, however, shown in each offer. A car licence is enough for these vans; an international driving permit is recommended if your licence is not in English.

Can I drive into Canada with Travellers Autobarn?

According to the rental company's description, driving into Canada is generally allowed. From San Francisco, the road to Vancouver runs up through Oregon and Washington State for more than 1,500 km. Read your offer conditions before leaving and keep the vehicle and insurance documents on you when crossing the border.

Can I return the van to another city?

A trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco along the coast, or from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, works well with three depots. It all depends on the offers for your dates, and fees may apply. In your search, enter a different arrival city: only the results that accept this trip remain displayed, with their total.

What equipment comes with a Travellers Autobarn van?

Each campervan has a bed and a kitchenette. Crockery, pans and bedding generally come as an optional kit, to add when booking so that it is ready at departure. Depending on the offers, a tent or a solar shower may complete the set-up: the details are in the vehicle description.

Can I go to Burning Man with a Travellers Autobarn van?

No: according to the rental company's information, Burning Man is one of the excluded destinations, as with many American rental companies. The very fine dust of the Black Rock Desert damages vehicles. Other restrictions, on dirt roads or certain areas, may appear in the conditions: read them before planning your itinerary.
