Our Mission
To Inspire People to escape their everyday routines and embrace their adventurous spirit by exploring the world in our campervans.
Escape Campervans USA was founded by Rob Mewton, an entrepreneur, surfer, and traveler from New Zealand. In 2009, Rob made his way to the US and brought a part of his culture with him – campervans. Today we have 13 locations, over 600 vans, and the same adventurous spirit that started this whole journey. Want the long version? Here’s the story of our campervan rental company.
Why Escape Campervans
Escape Campervans is the largest campervan rental company in North America, with 13 convenient rental locations in the US and Canada. We have more than 600 custom-built campervans designed & built in-house, each uniquely hand-painted by top artists in Los Angeles. With New Zealand roots and nearly two decades of experience guiding travelers, we pride ourselves on offering fun, hassle-free adventures for all.
We offer round trip and one-way rentals, so you can pick up locally or fly into your dream destination for a weekend away or an epic cross-country road trip. Each model comes fully-equipped with a bed and kitchen with sink, stove, and refrigerator, and we have kitchen supplies, bedding kits, and other extras available for rent. Just pick up your camper, stock up the refrigerator, and hit the road!
Our campervan rentals are economical and easy to drive, giving you the freedom to get off the beaten path into places that are inaccessible to larger motorhomes and RVs—and no stress driving through the city. No matter where your journey starts or ends, your Escape campervan gives you the comforts of a home on wheels for the best value.
The Escape Experience
We developed a product that seemingly offered the bare essentials. At the same time, it delivered everything you needed to travel and explore a country safely, comfortably, cheaply, and uniquely. Add in our local knowledge and travel tips, and you’ve got the trip of a lifetime, guaranteed.
Not only did we want to offer a high-quality product with excellent customer service and support, but we also wanted our clients to embrace the Escape spirit. So, we began to convert boring white vans into works of art.
The Special Sauce
The decision to sand all the clear coat off a new van and have artists cover the campervans in paint was not a decision we took lightly.
It was a frightening thing to try out this concept that had not been tested before… our mates thought we were crazy. The artwork on the campers goes a lot further than making you feel cool on the road. It acts as an interaction piece for our renters when they are traveling and allows them to mix with other travelers as well as locals.
Turns out, people love the artwork. Customers fall in love with their campervan (it quickly becomes their best friend) and bystanders notice them, too. The feedback our renters gave us after their campervan trips reinforced the initial crazy idea as being a pretty good one.
