RVs are a unique way to travel with no hotels or crowded
airports. It's just you, America's highways, and anything you
want to see. Owning an RV, however, can cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars. A cheaper alternative is to rent an RV.
This is even a cost-effective way to sample different RVs before
purchasing one of your own.
But renting an RV can still be expensive. Many companies charge
a flat day rate on top of fees for additional miles. Plus
there's insurance, supplies, and a security deposit that is
often not refunded in full, if at all.
Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the cost of renting an RV.
One of the simplest ways is to rent an RV during the off-season.
The weather may not be as warm, but you will probably save
hundreds of dollars. Rental agencies offer discounts up to
70-percent during the off-season. Plus, you will travel without
a swarm of other tourists.
Many Web sites also provide discount RV rental coupons. Search
around to find a deal.
The most popularly rented RV is the class-C motor home. It can
sleep six to nine people and has a modern kitchen. If you can go
for a smaller motor home, maybe even one that's a little more
rustic, you will be sure to save money. Don't go for the TV and
DVD player. Also, comparison-price with rental agencies outside
major cities. You may get a cheaper price.
One simple way to get a discount RV rental is to buy your time
in bulk. You get a cheaper rate when you travel for more days.
Many RV rental agencies also charge less the sooner you book
your RV. So plan ahead!
If you plan on renting an RV frequently or stopping at lots of
campgrounds, it may be cost-effective to join a discount camping
club like the Happy Camper RV Club that gives up to a 50-percent
discount at many camping sites.
