Miami travelers have a new way to hit the open road. On October 1, Germany-based camper van rental company Roadsurfer opened its very first Florida location, a station at 2757 NW 36th St., near Miami International Airport. The locale gives visitors (and locals!) an easy starting point to explore the state’s beaches, parks, and small towns without being tied to hotels or flight schedules.
Founded in Munich in 2016, Roadsurfer has expanded from a handful of vans to a network of more than 90 stations across nearly 20 countries. After entering the U.S. market in 2022 with a Los Angeles outpost, the company now operates nine sites across the Western U.S. and Canada. Miami marks its East Coast debut.
The Miami fleet mixes sprinter-style Class B vans with larger Class C RVs that sleep two to five people. All models include a kitchenette equipped with a fridge, stove, and sink, plus a bathroom with a hot shower and toilet. Stationary air conditioning and heating are standard, and options are available for dog-friendly accommodations. Rentals include unlimited miles, a free second driver, camping chairs, a stocked kitchen box, and a welcome bag. Introductory rates begin at $115 per night, with long-term discounts and one-way rentals available to other U.S. stations.
Roadsurfer describes its approach as a way to simplify travel. “A camper van road trip is the ultimate way to connect with nature, loved ones, and your own sense of adventure,” the company notes. “You have everything you need on board, so you can go where you want, when you want.”
While Florida offers obvious draws spanning its diverse state parks and the Florida Keys, the Miami station also caters to travelers looking beyond the state line. One-way drop-offs make longer drives — whether to the Gulf Coast, the Southeast U.S., or the Rockies — feasible without a return leg commitment. For first-time renters, the company provides a 24-hour hotline and detailed how-to guides for each vehicle type.
Roadsurfer’s arrival reflects a broader trend in flexible travel. Compact RVs and camper vans have gained popularity with travelers seeking a blend of mobility and comfort, particularly since the pandemic. By establishing a base in Miami, the company says it is tapping into a market that includes both vacationers aiming for classic Sunshine State road trips to locals who want to explore nearby parks or head out on cross-country routes.
With new stations scheduled to open in Dallas and New York in 2026, Roadsurfer’s U.S. footprint is still growing. For now, the Miami launch adds a fresh option for travelers interested in exploring the state — or starting a longer journey — without the structure of a traditional travel itinerary.
