How to Rent an RV

You’ve seen the movie ‘RV’ and you’ve decided, if Robin Williams can do it, I can too! While the end result will probably, hopefully be different, you can take a family vacation in a rented RV! Check out the top two companies in America!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Rent an RV and see America. You will need a valid driver's license and a good driving record. You will want to know if your car insurance company will cover anything that may happen with the vehicle. If not, you may want to consider buying their coverage.

2. 
   Rent a family vacation

   Visit a well-known dealer if you have one available. Having over 125 rental locations across North America, RV Cruise America is currently the biggest RV rental company in this country. To check and see if they have a location near you, visit their website. (Scroll to the resources for the web address.) You can also contact them at 1-800-RENT A RV.

3. Choose the company that has the best deal for your needs. El Monte RV has many rental sites throughout the U.S. You can see how close one is to you by checking their web site listed in the resources. They specialize is long-term rental. The company offers service areas in over 1500 locations. You can find out more by calling them at 1-888-337-2214.

4. Check with local dealers for a possible rental program if you live in a highly populated area. It will not have the benefits of a major company, but the cost may be more affordable.
   
   Load up your family and prepare to hit the road. You may find that you have the time of your life in your rental RV!

on 1/8/2009 My husband and I did this and took our two boys, we left from Denver and drove all over Wyoming andall over Yellowstone, it was the best trip ever!! My husband loved that I could get up and make him lunch while we were driving down the road. Taking the boys to the bathroom without having to stop was awesome! Thanks!!!
