Why choose New York for your road trip

New York — a city worth exploring

New York's iconic grid system stretches across five boroughs covering 783 square kilometres, making it one of the most densely packed cities on the planet. From the 340-metre-high observation deck at the Empire State Building to the winding paths of Central Park, there is no shortage of landmarks to take in before hitting the open road. The Statue of Liberty, standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbour, has welcomed visitors since 1886, while the Brooklyn Bridge — completed in 1883 — connects Manhattan to Brooklyn across the East River. Culture lovers can spend hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or catch a show along the Broadway theatre district. Beyond the city limits, the landscape opens up quickly: the beaches of Long Island begin roughly 60 km to the east, and the forested trails of Harriman State Park lie just 70 km to the north. Flat, well-maintained highways radiate outward in every direction, giving you easy access to coastal drives, mountain routes and lakeside retreats in a motorhome or campervan. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners across the New York area, which means flexible pick-up points, personal tips on the best routes and competitive pricing through our peer-to-peer platform. Whether you are planning a weekend escape to the Hudson Valley or a longer campervan adventure along the Atlantic coast, New York is a brilliant launchpad for your next road trip.

Best time to visit

New York is a year-round destination, but late spring through to early autumn offers the longest days for driving and exploring. The Tribeca Film Festival in June fills Lower Manhattan with energy, while the US Open tennis tournament lights up Queens every August and September. Summer is the most popular season for campervan travel, so booking your hire on Yescapa early helps you secure the best choice of vehicles from local owners. Autumn brings spectacular foliage along routes heading north from New York, ideal for a motorhome tour through the Hudson Valley. Winter and early spring are quieter on the roads, with great availability and flexible pricing.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a larger vehicle in New York requires a bit of planning. Street parking for motorhomes and campervans is heavily restricted across Manhattan, with height limits and alternate-side rules in force. Overnight sleeping in a vehicle on public streets is not permitted in most boroughs. Your best bet is to use dedicated facilities on the city's outskirts and travel in by public transport. Always check signage for height clearances before entering any car park.

Miss Johanna Karen

The hire experience was excellent throughout. The owners were very friendly, accommodating and easy to deal with. We had such a good trip. The van is really well looked after and a pleasure to drive. The owners helped with anything we were unsure of and even gave us tips on where to eat and park up. We would definitely hire through these owners again.

We hired Trina for 5 nights earlier this July. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time on the island. Jandro was incredibly helpful, always on hand before and during the trip to answer any questions which really helped us navigate the island and enjoy our trip. The vehicle was fantastic, an incredible experience to drive. All the amenities were brilliant as well. I would highly recommend using Jandro and one of his vans for a fantastic Mallorca experience!

5 / 5

Communication with the owner was great, van was immaculate, heaps of choice, love the peer to peer concept. Easy to add an extra driver and ID checks were very thorough but straightforward. Changing dates wasn't so easy, the owner was great, but the process at the back end took some manual effort. Teething problems, not a big deal. Main area that needs improving (for me anyway) is the deposit. There was a single line in a table stating Deposit: cash or transfer, that I hadn't seen. The owner asked for the cash or a transfer when we were at the car, which he explained was normal process, but Yescapa could have explained beforehand. I transferred €2000 directly to the owner, which didn't feel comfortable. I had expected this would all be done via Yescapa. I ended up losing €45 in exchange rate variations + fees as well, the owner's bank had challenges which meant it to 5 days to get a lot of cash back. It was lucky we had that amount at hand. I would use Yescapa again. I hope they can tidy up and improve the processes though.

Incredible time spent across the south of France with an incredible van! From beach, lakes, mountains and fields, it got me places I didn’t even pre conceive. Can’t speak more highly of my over all experience from van collection at train station to drop off. Drives smoother than my Suzuki jimny and can confirm very 6ft 4 friendly.

Aaron
5 / 5

We had an amazing experience hiring Eli's campervan! It was perfect for our family of four – myself, my partner, and our two young daughters. The van was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. It was easy to drive, well-equipped, and made exploring the malaga so much more enjoyable. The owners were friendly, helpful, and made the whole rental process smooth from start to finish. We made some unforgettable family memories and wouldn't hesitate to rent this campervan again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and hassle-free adventure in Spain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
