AI Summary
Have you ever dreamed of driving coast to coast but dreaded the return haul? A one way campervan trip lets you drop off the keys in a different city from where you started, turning every mile into new scenery. This guide explains how one way bookings work, why they make road travel easier and which routes shine when you choose Indie Campers. One way rentals are available exclusively on Indie Campers own fleet of RVs, not on our peer to peer marketplace listings, so you always know exactly what vehicle and support you will get.
What Is a One Way Campervan Trip?
Instead of returning to your starting point, a one way trip starts at one pick up location and ends in a different drop off location. For example, you might pick up the vehicle in Los Angeles and return it in Las Vegas. Flights, trains or buses handle your journey home. Indie Campers offers this option at all its locations so your road leads forward, not back.
Why Choose a One Way?
- Cover more ground without backtracking.
- Fly into one city and out of another for flexibility and cheaper airfare.
- Save vacation days that would otherwise be spent on repeat miles.
- Enjoy unparalleled flexibility to change your route or schedule on a whim.
