One-of-a-Kind Travel Experience Allows Travelers to Discover Inner ‘Lewis & Clark’

NEW YORK, NY – May 1, 2013 – Airstream 2 Go, a distinctive, new travel company offering rentals of current-model Airstream trailers, makes its debut in May, 2013. Airstream 2 Go offers discerning customers a unique and stylish way to explore the United States in a turn-key Airstream vacation experience. Travelers can visit and explore America's national parks, landmark destinations and breathtaking landscapes with all the comforts of their own sleek, modern Airstream trailer, custom matched to dedicated GMC Yukon Denali sport utility vehicles, while finding their inner ‘Lewis & Clark’ along the way.

Independently owned and operated, and exclusively factory-authorized by Airstream, Inc., only Airstream 2 Go will give clients the opportunity to rent and enjoy current-model Airstreams in desirable locations throughout the United States. Travelers can now begin planning an Airstream 2 Go round-trip experience from Los Angeles, California or Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Airstream 2 Go is a brand new company with an 82-year history,” said Dicky Riegel, Founder & CEO. “Airstream trailers have been an American icon for travel and adventure since 1931 but, until now, only Airstream owners have been able to access the brand. Through its rental offering, Airstream 2 Go provides adventurous travelers with a timeless vacation and travel experience.”

Airstream 2 Go trailers feature sleek and contemporary interiors designed by award-winning San Francisco architect and designer Christopher C. Deam. All Airstreams in the fleet are fully equipped, with many items provided through Airstream 2 Go’s relationship with Zappos.com (www.zappos.com). Each Airstream includes luxury amenities such as plush linens, towels and all the essentials for a fully equipped kitchen. Available in two sizes – a 23ft trailer, that sleeps four and a 28ft trailer that sleeps six – each Airstream features Ultraleather fabrics, Beauflor flooring, Wilsonart laminate furniture, flat screen LED televisions, Sony DVD/CD players, iPod docks, integrated sound systems, microwaves and cook tops, barbeque grills and Zip-Dee powered awnings.

Whether booking a 'do it yourself' journey, a planned itinerary to scenic must-see stops, or a fully-customized itinerary with bespoke activities included, travelers will receive hands-on guidance and expertise to make the trip as turn-key as possible. Airstream 2 Go has partnered with Off the Beaten Path (www.offthebeatenpath.com), a travel planning & outfitting company known for exceptional outdoor explorations since 1986. Named one of the top 25 exploration experts in the nation by National Geographic magazine, Off the Beaten Path offers an insider experience to some of nation’s most incredible natural attractions.

Prior to hitting the road, Airstream 2 Go will educate renters by providing detailed information on itinerary stops, destination facts and even step-by-step product videos available online at www.airstream2go.com, including what to pack for their specific journey. Upon arrival in Los Angeles or Las Vegas, guests are welcomed and transferred to the Airstream 2 Go depot, where staff will provide a thorough overview and education about the Airstream and tow vehicle. Renters will be equipped with fully loaded iPad Minis containing information on all necessary safety systems, a copy of their itinerary, maps and even a special Airstream 2 Go driving playlist.

The journey duration is up to the traveler, with a minimum of five days. Introductory week-long trip rates range from $5,300 for a ‘do it yourself’ trip with a 23ft trailer to $7,500 for a fully customized itinerary with the 28ft trailer. Airstream 2 Go offers travelers a unique opportunity to experience America, in a quintessentially American way.
