No! We have you covered!

The policy protects the company and the renter for statutory limits applicable in the jurisdiction where rented. This basic public liability coverage is included in all rental rates. All coverage and waivers are subject to the express terms of the rental contract.

Use your personal auto policy. Most personal automobile policies provide coverage for RV Rentals. Personal auto insurance often will provide the best coverage with the limits you are comfortable with and provide a low deductible. Check with your agent to find out if your personal policy provides coverage. See a list of insurance providers that commonly cover RV rentals.

3rd party Supplemental Liability Insurance. Renters can purchase additional 3^rd party liability, Supplemental Liability Insurance for an additional $14.95 a day.

What do I need to know about renting a camper van?

Nothing really; you just need to know where you want to spend your vacation in it! Below you will find all sorts of questions that have been asked with answers explaining everything you would need to know about renting an RV or motorhome. If you decide to use another RV rental company, these questions are all very important to have answers to before you ever pick up the RV.

Are your camper vans cleaned and prepared?

Yes! The our campers are always cleaned and ready prior to your arrival!

I’ve never driven a camper van before, do you provide instruction?

Yes! We will assist you in driving around the parking lot and around the block until you feel comfortable handling the camper van. We will go over all of the common concerns experienced while driving a camper van.

Do I need to hook up the van to power, water and sewer for everything to work?

No! All of our vans are “self contained,” meaning everything will work without being connected to power or water. Each van has its own on board water tank, batteries, generator and holding tanks. Being self contained, you do run the risk of running out of water and power but this is very uncommon, especially f you fill the holding tank every 2-3 days and typically power is regenerated by driving the vehicle. If you do want the peace of mind, you can always plug in at a campground with full hookups.

What are the different types of RV rentals? What does each class represent?

Class B
Class “B” motorhomes are van conversions, and always in demand. Van conversions are smaller, easier to drive, and can go places that larger motorhomes cannot. They only sleep 3 – 4 comfortably. You recognize a Class B because it looks like a large van or delivery van with a roof ac.

Class C
The class “C” motorhome is the workhorse of the RV rental business, comprising a vast majority of motorhome rentals. The class “C” models are generally designed for families and quite often offer more sleeping capacity than class “A” motor homes. They have driver / passenger side doors for easy access to the cockpit. They are easier to maneuver and have decent mpg. Most are built with a gas engine, but some newer models are coming out with diesel engines. You recognize a Class C RV because of its cab-over design.
