Travel in total freedom, without constraints
The advantage of criss-crossing the United States in a van is the feeling of total freedom that comes with it. Indeed, it allows you to opt for nomadic holidays and thus discover several places during the same stay. Everyone is also free to choose the destinations they wish to discover, nothing is imposed, we are free to change our itinerary whenever we want and to adapt future destinations according to our desires. Because the United States is a very large country, it is often hundreds or even thousands of kilometres between two destinations. By opting for a trip in a van, there are no mileage constraints, you are free to travel as many kilometres as you wish and that is a real advantage. If you start from the American West and want to go into the centre of the country, or even eastwards, no problem, no need to keep your nose to the meter, everyone organises their trip as they see fit
No additional costs for young drivers
Travelling is youthful. Except that sometimes being a young driver means paying extra for a vehicle rental. At Travellers Autobarn, young people can hire a converted van from the age of 21 and there are no extra charges for age. Young drivers are therefore free to opt for this type of trip, free, independent, flexible, which corresponds very well to this category of travellers, often eager for adventure.
Benefit from a fully equipped and simple to operate van
The advantage of converted vans is that they have everything you may need during the journey. Real houses on wheels, they can sleep several people, up to 3, and some vehicles offer options to sleep more passengers. There is also a kitchenette area for the preparation of meals with all the necessary utensils. In this way, you can find the comfort of your own home, where you can eat, sleep and store your belongings without having to constantly unpack them, for example, when you move from one hotel to another. There are different types of motorhomes in the United States. RV's, for "Recreational Vehicle", are motorhomes that are still quite massive and it is not always easy to handle them, especially if it is the first time you are going to drive one. The advantage of Travellers Autobarn's converted vans is that they are more reasonably sized, van-like and therefore easier to manoeuvre on the road. For people who are not used to driving this type of vehicle, it is a very good compromise and presents no difficulties
A cheaper way to travel
Discovering the United States and the richness of its landscapes in a converted van has another advantage, and not the least: the cost. You should be aware that the converted vans offered by Travellers Autobarn are cheaper to hire than some of the other campervans available in the country, which are often larger. Secondly, it can easily be said that the converted van is the cheapest solution to criss-cross the roads of the USA, as it includes accommodation and the possibility to cook inside. As a reminder, hotels in the United States have rather high rates, and if you add to that the price of car rental and restaurant meals, the bill can quickly climb. In addition, and this is a peculiarity of the national parks in the United States, they are equipped with campsites with very interesting rates so that travelers can spend the night in peace. It is therefore possible to install your van there in all legality and to take advantage of the facilities they are equipped with such as a water supply or sanitary facilities. If for some campsites there is no need to make a reservation and it is the law of "first come, first served", it is recommended to book in advance for other campsites
Enjoying nature and discovering national parks
A stay in the United States aboard a converted van is a great opportunity to be in total harmony with nature. A nature of exceptional beauty in the country. This gives you the opportunity to ride through rocky and mountainous terrain, to cross desert areas as well as to stop at a wild beach on the Pacific coast. You also have to go through some of the 59 national parks in the country. We keep repeating this, but the United States is not just a large metropolis with tall buildings and a vibrant life, it also offers the opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary natural environment. It is a good idea to spend time in the national parks during your itinerant stay. How could we not talk about the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona? Recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1979, how can one not be dazzled by its singular landscape known the world over? Heading to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, with its peak at 4,197 metres above sea level. In addition to enjoying a beautiful mountain setting, a getaway in this region is an opportunity to encounter moose, bison and wild horses. Why not continue with the discovery of Arches National Park in Utah? It has cut cliffs and some 2,000 natural rock arches. Being equipped with a camera is then a duty to immortalize this so bewitching nature
The possibility of renting your van in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas

These three destinations, located in the American West, offer the opportunity to take advantage of the dynamism of these three major attractive cities at the beginning of your stay. Afterwards, you have the possibility to reach some of the most famous national parks. With no mileage constraints, it's up to you to go wherever you want.
