Comparing Popular RV Rental Companies
Our clients use a variety of RVs depending on their destination and who is traveling with them. Some clients have their own RVs, and we help plan trips using those. However, most clients need to rent an RV, and we have strong opinions about the best rental companies and why. Although we don’t always rent from the same companies, we provide recommendations based on factors like group size, intended destinations, and budget.
The four companies we most commonly rent from are Road Bear RV, El Monte RV, Blacksford RV, and Cruise America (in no particular order). While it’s usually best to discuss your options with us directly, we have outlined the major differences, along with the pros and cons, of each company. Below, you’ll find a summary of the most common rental options.
