Asheville Campervan Rental

We are Adventure Driven!

Camp in comfort and style with Urban Escape Vehicles. Enjoy all that the WNC region has to offer, or hit the highway for an epic road trip. The vans are fully stocked with linens, towels, kitchen & camping gear.

The need for rugged adventure and the undeniable urge to travel drives the passion you find at Urban Escape Vehicles. Motivated by a desire for awesome Asheville adventures, and a love of vanlife, Melody King started Urban Escape Vehicles to share her passion for adventure while offering a better way to get there.

Traveling in a campervan is safe, easy, and oh-so-comfortable. Renting allows you to enjoy the pleasures and excitement of vanlife without the massive investment of buying a vehicle. And if you are considering buying your own van, a campervan rental might spur your creativity and help you define your priorities for your own van build. Whether you are

Van was super clean, comfortable bed and easy to drive. Melody was very particular in sterilizing/cleaning everything during this Covid time. Table, chairs, Coleman stove, dishes, etc were provided. We loved it and will rent again!!!!!

This is a first class operation. You are going to get a spotless, fully equipped, impeccably maintained vehicle with a courteous and informative send off. The Travato rides like a Cadillac and glides smoothly through the mountain ranges. This is a great service.

This was a great, socially distanced little vacation for us! We took the van to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park for 4 days and had an awesome time. The is our second time renting a campervan and we really enjoyed the layout and convenience of their Promaster. They definitely thought of everything right down to camp games and spices. Comfy bed, cute interior, great privacy screens, fully equipped kitchenette, lighting, etc. The owner and staff are super friendly and accommodating, too. We’ll be renting again for sure.

Our weekend getaway in the Promaster Van was AMAZING! This is the second time we rent a van with Urban Escape Vehicles and we loved it . The van is equipped with all the things you need (cooking cleaning and storage). Melody the owner is extremely helpful! This last trip Melody provided a list of hiking trials and parking areas to insure that our weekend would be pleasant. Thank you so much for the great memories!

We had an AMAZING time with our rental from Urban Escape Vehicles. Melody, the owner, was friendly, communicative, and flexible with pick-up/drop-off. The van is well-constructed and decorated, and the bed was super comfortable (we slept like babies!). It was easy to get a hang of driving (we were pleasantly surprised by the handling, turn radius, gas mileage, etc.) and fit into standard parking spots with ease. 10/10 would recommend renting this van for your next adventure!

This was our second time renting one of Melody’s amazing vans. We loved the experience and would not hesitate to spend another weekend exploring Asheville and the surrounding mountains in the comfort of a beautiful camper. Melody was kind, generous and flexible with our needs and even suggested nearby locations to visit. 10/10 recommendation!

Chris Collins

We had a great experience renting from Melody. Communication was always fast. The van was easy to drive and maneuver. There is everything you could possibly need in this van, other than food and clothing. We did bring our pop up canopy for rain. I highly recommend renting from Melody.

Mike Vaughn

Melody stocked our camper with everything we could possibly need for a night in the woods– a warm comfortable bed, FULLY stocked kitchen, solar/battery lights, table and chairs, the works. She was punctual, professional, and just a very cool gal. We (especially our 15 month old) absolutely loved our experience and can’t wait for our next camper trip— highly recommend for other families with little ones!

Stay Where You Play

Experience The Vanlife

Why be confined to four stationary walls in a rental cabin or hotel? If you want to be as close to your daily dose of adventure as possible, then a campervan gives you the freedom to stay where you play. The time you waste packing up your gear and hauling it back to a stuffy room means less time in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Instead, you can hit the slopes, stomp the trail, paddle the river, climb the rocks, fish the creek – and when you’re ready to relax, you’re already home. Wake up right there and do it all over again. Eat, relax and enjoy life in a comfortable camper van that serves as your mobile basecamp during your adventure.

Book a campervan for as few as three days to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains or the Great Smoky National Park. Or save on the daily rate and book with the weekly rate to spend your next week-long vacation in a camper van. You’ll understand why van life has undergone unprecedented growth in recent years. With an adventure van, it’s like taking your vacation rental with you as you explore the Western North Carolina mountains or go touring in style further afield. Visit a new destination in the WNC region each night, road trip to the coast, or disappear into the woods and go boondocking for days.

Why A Campervan Rental?

What drives our adventure?

Most recreational vehicles are large, and difficult to maneuver. They are expensive to fuel up, impossible to park in town, and can be difficult to maneuver through traffic. They don’t do well on gravel roads. Renting an RV can be expensive. While a large RV may be the perfect choice for some travelers, we believe that a camper van is the right choice for most travelers, and the best choice for supporting an adventure in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Great Smoky Mountains, or for road trips further afield.

With more economical rates, greater maneuverability and yet much more stylish and comfortable than your tent, we feel that a camper van is the perfect road trip adventure vehicle. Parking easy, since the vans fits into a regular parking space. Your Asheville adventure may take you into the wilderness, to campgrounds, or festivals where RVs are regulated into spaces far from the action.
