This was one of the most pleasant rental experiences I have ever dealt with. The workers setting up our van were so helpful with everything, explaining how everything works and the ease getting my group in the van, and on the road. We had a hick up on the end of our trip with the battery and all we had to do is flick a switch and the van jumped itself. If you go to e Forrest definitely get the vans from Chicago, since it’s only three hours from the venue, and if you just want to go on a nice camping trip, please get from her... read more
Such an amazing experience!!! We drove to Yellowstone and back from Chicago and had the greatest time. The van drove great, it was so nice to have the option to fold out the bed in the back plus a sink and solar powered refrigerator. We did have to get the oil changed on our trip but we also drove a really long way so it made sense and they completely reimbursed us for it. They also gave us the option of going to any Jiffy Lube in the country where they have an account and it would have been covered but unfortunately there w... read more
Rental station western part of Chicago, can be reached by public transport (1 km foot walk from railway station).

I just got back from a brilliant three week Route 66 trip in a Maverick Escape van. The Escape team were friendly and informative in Chicago and LA.

As long as the motor was running it cooled but it warmed up pretty fast if we were camping. Suggest a separate cooler box would be useful that can be ice-filled on the way.
We hit all kinds of weather - high winds, thunder and lightening stor... read more
What a great experience we had. Laina was so accommodating and available at all times for our needs. We experienced an issue with the sink and Laina was very helpful in giving us tricks to get the water started. Though we still had trouble with it on our trip, she refunded us for the water which was greatly appreciated. I would 10/10 recommend Escape Campervans Chicago to anyone looking for a mini midwest escape!
