Munich-based campervan rental company roadsurfer will open stations in New York and Portland, Oregon, in 2027, taking its US network to 11 locations as bookings in North America rise by around 55%.
First pick-ups are scheduled from early April 2027 in New York and from early May in Portland, and both stations are already taking bookings. Prices start from £89 a night, based on April 2027 travel from New York.
roadsurfer runs around 100 stations in 16 countries across Europe, the US and Canada. It opened its first US station in Los Angeles in 2022, followed by San Francisco and Las Vegas in 2024, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Miami in 2025, and Dallas this year.
“North America is our fastest-growing market, with bookings up around 55% year to date compared to the same period last year. We’re seeing especially strong demand from U.S. travelers discovering European-style vanlife,” said Markus Dickhardt, co-founder and CEO. “With New York and Portland we are closing important gaps on the East and West Coast, building out our network where demand is growing fastest.”
The New York station is pitched as a base for trips north into the Hudson Valley, the Catskills and the Adirondacks, and on to Niagara Falls or across the border into Canada. Portland opens up the Oregon coast, the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood and the national parks of Washington state.
One-way rentals are possible between US stations, and bookings include unlimited mileage, a full camping kit, a free second driver, pets and flexible rebooking and cancellation. The fleet ranges from compact vans for couples to larger family campers with beds, heating and kitchens.
The expansion comes as US travellers look for less conventional trips, with adventure operator Exodus reporting shifting US adventure travel demand heading into 2027.
