RV Rental FAQ

Yes. We love first time renters and we are excited to help! On your departure day you will get a hands on demonstration of everything your RV has to offer as well as operational and driving tips.

Yes we can provide insurance for every RV rental. By default we will automatically add the cost of insurance to your quote.

We offer 3 secondary insurance protection packages:

Basic: State minimum liability protection, up to $100,000 in property damage protection, windshield coverage protection.

Essential: State minimum liability protection, up to $150,000 in property damage protection, roadside assistance, windshield coverage protection.

Peace of Mind: Up to $500,000 liability protection, up to $250,000 in property damage protection, roadside assistance, windshield coverage protection.

The insurance deductible is from $500 to $1000 depending the rental.

In the event there is damage to the unit greater than the amount of the security deposit, an insurance claim will be filed. In order to proceed with the third-party secondary insurance coverage, a claim will first need to be filed with your primary insurance provider. If a claim denial letter is received, the purchased secondary insurance policy will then activate to cover the damage.

You must have one seatbelt for every passenger (adult, child or infant) in the RV. The same seatbelt requirements of a passenger car apply to the RV. You can find the number of seatbelts of each RV in the Vehicle Description section of each individual RV page. All infants and children must be appropriately place in a carseat or booster restraint system. If you will be traveling with a carseat passenger we do recommend only renting a RV with forward facing seatbelts in the rear. Some of the RVs have side facing couches only in the rear which are the least safe for carseat/booster travel.

No. As most our customers get dropped off by family  or friends since you can have your RV rental fully loaded with everything from Kitchen, Bedding & linens and Outdoor Camping supplies for the ultimate easy camping experience!

RV renting is by the night just like your campground or when you book a hotel room. Your RV will be ready for you between 3-4pm on your first night – just like checking into a hotel room. You need to return it to us the morning after your last night and no later than 11am – just like checking out of your hotel. We do offer early pick up and late return time for an extra fee if available. If you feel you will need the extra time to drive or pack/unpack, it is best to book the appropriate number of night you will need. You will also get the extra miles with extra nights as well which can offset extra mileage costs.

Departure times are between 3-4pm Mon-Fri. Plan for up to 15-60 mins for your departure walk through at your pick up /delivery time. If you would like an earlier time, it maybe available as an option at checkout.

Return times are between 10-11am Mon-Fri. If you would like a later time, it may be available as an option at checkout.

We do require a 50% downpayment to confirm a reservation. You can inquire by phone or view availability online to see if a particular unit is available for your dates but to fully reserve, block out and confirm the RV for your trip we do require the downpayment amount. We can put a hold on an RV for your trip for up to 24 hrs without payment – please call for this options as this cannot be done online. The balance due on your reservation is charged out 30 days prior to your trip. Any additional last minute incidentals or rentals add-on requests will be charged at the time of request if within 3 days of your departure. Your Refundable Security Damage Deposit will be charged 3 days prior to departure and held on your behalf by the card processor. The refundable security damage deposit is between $1000 - $1500 depending on the rental.

24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation for booking cancellations made more than 30 days in advance. As part of our Customer Commitment for customers who book directly online through a reservation system. Risk-Free Cancellation means that after you’ve purchased a qualifying reservation, you have up to 24 hours after booking to cancel it for any reason and receive a full refund with no fees. I understand that I am holding a spot so reservations total amount for this rental is nonrefundable. Trip insurance is available at checkout for those qualifying events where you need to cancel your trip unexpectedly and could reimbursed you 100% of the prepaid RV rental booking cost.

Minimum age to drive is 25. You must possess a valid driver’s license and pass a simple DMV check. International driver’s are welcome with a valid passport, driver’s license from your country and an International Driver’s Permit (available online) if your native license is not in English.

We have a 3 night minimum during normal (non-peak summer or non-holiday) times. Holiday periods (Thanksgiving week, weeks surrounding Christmas & New Years) require a 4 night minimum and the peak summer season is a 5-7 night minimum to pre-reserve. In the peak summer months we will offer shorter (3-4night) reservations closer to the time period within the season if there are any openings. Please call us for short stay pricing options.

100 Miles are included for every night booked and paid for at full price. For example a 7 night rental would include 700 miles at no additional costs. Additional miles are charged based on an average mileage driven per day of your trip. Our Online Booking system will calculate out any extra miles charges so you can clearly see all extra costs. The extra mileage rates are calculated using tiered mileage program as outlined in the following example: If you book a 5 night trip you will get 500 miles included in your reservation or an average of 100/miles per day for 5 days. If your total estimate/actual mileage is 1200 miles for the 5 night trip you will average 240 miles for every night booked. The first 100 average miles are included, average mileage 101-140 are billed at $0.39/mile, average mileage 141-200 are billed at $0.59/mile and average mileage 201 and greater are billed at $0.99-$1.49 depending on the vehicle rented. Basically you can double your included mileage for an average of $0.39-$0.59 per extra mile. If you travel over double the included miles, then you would be susceptible to the high 3rd tier rate of $0.99-$1.49/mile for all miles over double the included amount. 95% of all reservations will find their extra mileage rate in the lowest 2 tiers.

If not prepaid, and tanks are not completely emptied, a $150 dump and sanitation fee will be deducted from security/damage deposit.
