Celebrate 100 Years of Route 66 with CamperDays’ Early-Bird Deal
2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the iconic Route 66, once called the "Mother Road" by American novelist John Steinbeck, which spans approximately 2,400 miles across eight U.S. states from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California.
Recent research commissioned by Europe's leading campervan and motorhome tour operator, CamperDays UK, reveals that 31% of British motorists say driving through the USA remains their dream road trip. Why not mark this milestone and start planning this legendary journey?
Max Schmidt, Head of CamperDays, says: "There is truly no better time to experience this road, and the vast variety of checkpoints and attractions along the way like Cadillac Ranch, the Milk Bottle Grocery, the Route 66 Museum and the Mojave National Preserve mean there is something for everyone to enjoy. Using a campervan to traverse the route means that you get to follow your own itinerary, camping out under the stars at the countless beautiful stops to choose from."
For those keen to travel in comfort and style, CamperDays offers flexible campervan hire along the route. A full Route 66 journey typically takes around two weeks, with prices for pick up in May 2026 starting from £2,095 when picking up in Chicago and dropping off in Santa Monica. For those looking for a bargain or curious to go the road less travelled, prices start from just £1,507 when doing the route in reverse and picking up in Santa Monica, returning to Chicago over the same dates. That’s a huge saving of £588 which can go towards the cost of campsite access, late-night diner trips, and refueling pit stops.
To make planning this journey even more rewarding, use the code SUPEREARLY26 until 14 September 2025 to secure a €110 discount on next year’s campervan bookings, and then €90 with code EARLY26 from 15 September until 22 September after that.
