Where am I allowed to drive?

Our camper vans provide accessibility that many larger camper vans and RVs can’t. However, there are still limitations that we can’t avoid due to safety, legal, and logistical constraints. These include:

1. Death Valley National Park: We STRONGLY urge you NOT to go to Death Valley between May 1 and September 30. Temperatures in Death Valley in the summer months can reach 130°F (54°C). Our Roadside Assistance and insurance WILL NOT cover you if your van breaks down in Death Valley during these months. You will be liable for the full value of recovery and damage to the vehicle. If you decide you have to go no matter what, then we strongly advise not driving the vehicle between 11 am and 5 pm during peak sun hours.
2. Mexico, Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories, and Newfoundland are strictly prohibited. We cannot provide Roadside Assistance, nor does our insurance cover renters in these regions, among other reasons.
3. Burning Man: If you plan to go to this festival, you must let us know in advance. We’ll need to remove the van from our rental fleet for special post-burn grooming in order to adequately prepare it for the next renter. The grooming fee for our Mavericks vans is $750.00 and for our MESA vans is $1000.00. Do not try and hide the fact that you have been to the Playa. Fees of $1500.00 for the Mavericks and $2000.00 for the MESA will apply for failure to notify Escape ahead of time.    ONLY Mavericks and Mesa vans can go to the Playa.
4. Driving on unpaved roads, dirt roads, restricted areas, and ‘off road’ areas is not in compliance with Escape Camper Vans insurance and other vehicle warranties. If you get stuck, you are responsible for any expenses related to getting the van back to paved roads.

If you have any questions about safety, road rules, and our terms and conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
