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.
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.
Best family camping vacation ever! We couldn’t have been happier with escape camper vans. The staff was amazing and the vehicle was perfect! We’ve already started planning our next escape camper van road trip. Thanks so much!
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 Camper Vans as a genuine and transparent company that doesn't surprise you with unforeseen costs.Highly recommend🤟🏼PS: don't forget to check their leftover-lockers if you need equipment or have leftovers yourself.
We rented a van for Burning Man 2023 and it rained. The van was super well appointed and maintained, and we were so comfortable. Escape was amazing about extending our rental and accommodating the extra cleaning. This is a company that truly cares about their customer experience.
We drove from LA to Denver and the Aspen van was great. Good set up for fridge and cooking. Good room for sleeping 2. Bedding kit and kitchen kit fit all our needs.Little bit of an older model so struggled up hills. And no Aux/Bluetooth for the sound system.Overall did the job, was a good trip.
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.
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!
We were going to have to cancel our trip. I googled camper vans near me and found Escape Camper Vans 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 Camper Vans. Our van was clean, reliable, easy checkout and easy checking. Thank you!! Escape Camper Vans for giving us an alternative to tent camping or renting a big trailor. Play and plan your next adventure with Escape Camper Vans!
What a great alternative to tent camping!!! My son and I went on a rolling adventure to start summer and the Fantasyland Camper van was perfect! 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!!!

How much does it cost to rent a camper van in California?
On average, renting a camper in California costs between $100 and $200 per day. Smaller vehicles with a lower passenger capacity will cost closer to $100 per day, while larger vehicles with more features and a bigger capacity will cost closer to $200. You also need to keep in mind extra expenses like mileage fees and gas. Most camper vans have mileage fees of $0.30-0.40 cents per mile you drive. Plus, California usually ranks first (or at least in the top 5) of states with the highest average gas prices.
As with other transportation expenses during travel, such as plane tickets and car rentals, camper van prices can vary depending on availability and the time of year. When California gets more visitors, like the holidays or spring break, camper van rental prices may be higher due to more demand.
How old do you have to be to rent a camper van in California?
Most camper rental companies in California will require drivers to be at least 21 years old. In some cases, companies may have an even higher age minimum set at 25 years old. The main reason for this is insurance expenses. It costs a lot more to insure drivers who are under the age of 21 since they don’t have as much driving history and can be seen as less responsible. When you combine that with the risk and liability involved with vehicle rental, too many fees will rack up when renting to younger drivers, which wouldn’t make it profitable.
If you do find a company that will rent to a driver under 21, there will likely be a lot of extra insurance and security fees added on that will make your daily rental prices much higher. So, it’s usually best to plan to have a driver who’s at least 21 for the easiest and most cost-effective camper rental.
