Welcome to our listing. No need to buy your own motorhome, use ours! We are well placed in St Albans, 2 minutes from junction 22 on the M25, and close to the M1, so for all those who are from the city, come to us, leave your car and venture into the peaceful countryside (and visa versa!!). Hire out our well maintained home on wheels and go explore the country in comfort. On board, you will find a fully functioning kitchen with extras like an air fryer, fridge and freezer, gas oven, electric kettle and a toaster as well as a great area to relax and eat. (some appliances will require you tobe connected to the mains). Unlike some motorhomes, our one has a separate shower so no getting your feet wet when using the toilet. On warm days, whilst plugged into a campsites electric point, we have remote controlled air conditioning in the living area, an unusual feature that will make warm summer evenings bearable. Unlike some other hire companies that charge, we offer as standard, levelling ramps, a 4 bike bike carrier, mains powered air conditioning in the living area, toilet chemicals, Adblu and gas all included in the price. There are plenty of USB A and USB C plug sockets for all your devices, and you can connect the smart TV to your hotspot to enjoy Apps like Netflix and Prime (you need to sign in to your own accounts). Other features to tempt you include bunk beds with their own windows, usb sockets on each bunk, each with a light and shelves. A curtain separates the main cabin from the bunk beds. It sleeps 6, however I personally feel it is a bit overcrowded with 6. The dining table folds down into a small double, suitable for children. Our motorhome has all utensils you need for cooking, so self catering will be a breeze. Although we supply duvets and pillow, bed linen or towels are not included so please bring your own. (You can request some for an extra charge - see house rules). There will be cleaning supplies on board, but please bring toilet paper, kitchen towels and bathroom shampoo/handwash etc. In the back there is a large storage area under the bunk bed, which can be accessed from outside or from within the vehicle. At the rear of the vehicle there is a bike rack that holds 4 bicycles. A table and 4 chairs are supplied, as are windbreaks. Please note that there is a tracker installed for security purposes. Before the hire, photos will be taken inside and out. Existing damage will be pointed out. This provides peace of mind that the condition of the vehicle is recorded correctly before you take it out. On board there is a Garmin satnav. Whilst you may also wish to use your own device, our satnav is designed for motorhomes and so will choose routes that avoid width restrictions (which are not a welcome sight I can assure you). The wind out sun canopy is unavailable for use as it is susceptible to damage. We will go through some of the features of the vehicle when you arrive, but there a user manual to help explain everything. Feel free to ask any questions during the hire if required. Standard check in time is 14:00, and return is 12:00.

    We had an amazing experience renting The escape pod over the weekend! Simon was absolutely brilliant super friendly, helpful, and organised from start to finish. Pick-up and drop-off were really easy and well coordinated. The motorhome itself was spotless clean, tidy, and really well looked after. It had everything we needed and made our trip so comfortable. We couldnt have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend The Escape Pod and Simon well definitely be booking again!

    Great van in perfect condition. Everything very easy to use. Worth noting an excellent fridge with drinks draw capable of holding 6 large bottles!

    We had an amazing last-minute getaway to Wales, all thanks to Simon! After our original booking was cancelled, Simon stepped in and provided us with a fantastic motorhome on very short notice. The motorhome was spotless, well-equipped, and perfect for our family of three. Simon was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for our trip. His prompt communication and flexibility made the entire process seamless. Our journey through Wales was unforgettable, and having such a reliable and comfortable motorhome made it even more special. We highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a top-notch motorhome rental experience. Thank you, Simon, for making our spontaneous adventure possible!
