Gather your required documents. You will need a valid driver's license that shows your age, and proof of insurance that covers RV rentals if you don't plan on purchasing additional insurance with your rental. Some RV dealerships will not rent to persons under the age of 25; others charge an additional daily fee for those under 25 but over 21. Determine at this point if your rental will be one-way or round trip and the number of days you will need the RV.
Find an RV dealership in Washington that rents Recreational Vehicles. Cruise America and El Monte RV are two of the biggest national chains that rent RVs, but there are a number of smaller Washington dealerships that rent, as well. Online websites such as the Recreational Vehicle Rental Association allow you to search for dealerships based on your location. In Washington, RV dealerships that rent can be found across the state in and around cities like Seattle, Olympia and Spokane.
Reserve your RV. Contact the dealership several weeks in advance, especially if you plan on renting in the busy summer months, to reserve your vehicle. This is the time to contact more than one dealership to compare costs and available vehicles, as well.
Pick up your RV at the dealership. Arrive early so that you have time to read over the RV rental dealership's paperwork, insurance requirements, tips for driving an RV and to make note of any damages or missing items from the rental RV. You may also want to take a test drive to acclimate yourself with driving a large vehicle if this is your first time driving an RV.
