Sam and the City Escapes team was amazing - they came through last minute for us and got us setup. The Van was immaculate, easy to use and perfect for the weekend. We're already planning on our next trip with them. Thank you all for saving the weekend!

There is simply not enough nice things to say about the team at City Escapes. They were tremendously helpful, responsive, and kind from the start. I had some questions at the beginning about details on the Adventure Van and they were clearly on top of their game. They are clearly thoughtful and intentional. From the pre booking discussions, to the pre check in period, through to pick up and return, the team at City Escapes never left us hanging. They reached out multiple times to ensure we had what we needed. I was using the van for an endurance event throughout New York State which required that we have incredibly prompt issue resolution should anything come up - otherwise it could have derailed the event or meant that I couldn’t complete it at all. There was one small issue that came up (things happen) and what everyone should know is that we were able to get in contact with both City Escapes and Outdoorsy immediately until the hiccup was resolved. In all, my conversations with them proved how committed they were to ensuring that we not only had a good time but that we were well taken care of. One amenity that we loved and were worried about not working well was the fridge. Previous vans we’ve had only had luke warm fridge because they only run when the van is running. Somehow this thing was cold and the freezer worked too! Importantly we had this thing for 10 days and even though we used the stove twice a day, the propane tank lasted the entire time. Both of those things were a pleasant surprise at how well they worked. 10/10 I would recommend to them to anyone interested in renting this van. It’s a good company. Great team. And you’ll have a great time. Now go get into the outdoors!

We really enjoyed our trip to Watkins Glen in the Solis! Dan and Sam were a pleasure to work with and made the entire process very easy. Look forward to doing it again.

The Solis was pretty good, everything that was needed was there. I would recommend including a level to check for tilts before parking, for optimal sleeping/bathing potential

We took the van for a long weekend on spur of the moment. Communications and pick-up were completely clear and prompt. The is impeccable and very well equipped. We only needed to take a small outside grill for cooking and most sites to stay at have picnic tables, so you pretty much pull up and relax. It’s very comfy, and useful small toilet for the middle of the night! It’s very easy to drive if you driven a u haul or similar. Sits at 65mph for a cruise to your destination and feels great. We used Hipcamp to book two sits in upstate New York. We avoided the state park sites and went off the near a little. Can recommend Boulder Park near Pine Bush. We had the whole site to ourselves! Tips for use are all about getting airflow into the van to keep cool in the heat - it has fly screens all round and you can pop the roof and open vents up there too. It has a heater too if it gets nippy although we didn’t use it. Toilet and water easy to use. If I’m doubt, just go for it. You’ll want one afterwards!

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! I can’t recommend this camper van enough. Dan was excellent to work with to plan out our route, help with the necessary provisions and gave us some great recommendations along the way. The renting and return processes were seamless and efficient.
