Whether you’re wanting to try out vanlife before making a campervan purchase or just want to get outside and adventure, renting is a stellar option.
These days, you’ll have no problem whipping out your smartphone and finding a hundred van rental companies. Here are a few trusted options we love and what you can expect from each:
Why we love GoCamp: Curated vans + great customer support
Rental location: Multiple states across the country
GoCamp is a curated peer-to-peer marketplace for van rentals. They go through every owner application to make sure the van will add something to their offerings as well as vetting the rig and owner. Most importantly, they offer five star customer service. Search by state or destination and get out there! Use the code VANLIFE5 to get 5% off your entire rental fee!
Why we love Outdoorsy: Rent anything, anywhere!
Rental Location: All 50 states
Outdoorsy is the biggest peer-to-peer marketplace for van rentals. Think AirBnb but for camper vans. Their selection spans vintage Airstreams, toy haulers, fifth wheelers, Class A, B, and C of RVs, as well as garden variety trailers and motorhomes. Their site allows you to look for campers in your area or wherever you’d like to go! It’s safe, easy, fully insured, and has a huge selection to choose from.
Whey we love Native Campervans: Small business, big service
Rental Locations: Denver, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Phoenix
Native Campervan’s fleet of vans allows you to get a taste of vanlife out west with everything you’ll need for your journey. They offer three different size vans (a high roof Promaster, a low top Promaster with roof top tent, and a Promaster City) for all fully stocked for your mini vanlife experience, and they make pick-up and drop-off super easy at each of their three locations.
