Locate an RV rental facility near you. If you have problems locating a facility you can locate one through resources like The Recreational Vehicle Rental Association and the Go Rving websites.
Visit the RV rental facility to view the different RVs that are available for rent. For example, you have the Class A and Class C motor homes, travel trailers, sports utility RV and folding camping trailers. The larger the RV, the more expensive it will cost to rent it and refuel it. The rental price can range from $100.00 per day to more than $200.00 per day, depending upon size and amenities.
Test drive the RV to ensure that you are comfortable maneuvering it. Try backing it up and parking it. If the RV is too large for your to maneuver confidently go for a smaller RV.
Advise the RV company of the extras you would like for your rental, such as dishes, pots, pans and a generator.
Provide proof of insurance to the RV rental representative. If your auto insurance provider does not provide coverage for RV rentals, you will have to purchase rental insurance through the RV rental facility. The insurance rates will vary by facility.
Read through and sign the contract for your RV rental. Be sure to read everything in the contract so you fully understand the stipulations and what fees are being assessed for the rental. For example, check the mileage that is allowed to see if it is unlimited or limited. If the mileage is limited, check the mileage rate you will be charged if you exceed the limit.
Present a valid driver's license and a valid credit card to the RV rental company to secure your rental. There will be a security deposit placed on your credit card. The amount of the deposit will vary by company.
Return your RV on the date and time that is specified in your contract. Be sure that the RV is fully fueled in order to avoid additional high fuel charges from the RV company.
