Q
|
What about mileage? |
| |
Our owners offer a free 100 miles per day of rental. Additional miles are at .32 to .55 per mile. |
|
Q
|
Is a deposit required? |
| |
For most our US rentals, a $500 reservation deposit or half the rental is charged to your credit card at the time of confirmation. This is later applied toward your rental charges. When you pick up your RV, there is also usually a security deposit charged and held during the time of your rental. Terms, rates, and conditions of deposits vary depending on the coach. We will let you know what the details are before confirming your rental.

|
Q
|
Are there other charges to consider? |
|
|
Above the base rate of your rental, there are charges for any extras you may decide to go with, such as hospitality kits, kitchen kits, emergency road kits, or extra insurance. If your RV is equipped with a generator, there is usually a per-hour fee on its use which is calculated after your rental. The average rate for this is $3.00. Also, before returning your RV, it is usually required that you clean the RV so that it is ready for use for the next renter. If you return the RV in a condition that is not clean and ready for use, you could be charged with a cleaning fee.
Don't forget the cost of fuel! Of course, we don't charge you for fuel and your vehicle will come pre-filled when you pick it up. Upon returning the vehicle, as in any car rental, you will need to fill the fuel tanks, as it was when you picked it up. Don't forget to calculate your total fuel expenditures into your budget for the trip if you're traveling long distance. We advise our customers, if they haven't already, to sign up to any of the major gas station gas credit cards to take advantage of member discounts and other benefits to save on fuel expenses.
Once your RV is returned, there is also extra per-mile costs for any mileage over the free or pre-purchased amounts. Costs vary from location to location.

What about insurance? |

$15 to $25 per day, plus administration fee, or binder furnished from your insurance company. |
|
Q
|
Are RVs hard to drive? |

Not really. Consider that they are large and heavy vehicles with poor visibility towards the rear. They also don't exactly fit in the compact car parking stalls, so plan your trip accordingly.

|
Q
|
What type of gas mileage should we expect to get? |
