Burning Man policy
Due to the unique environmental challenges and conditions at Burning Man, attending the festival puts RVs at higher risk compared to standard rental use. The following conditions make Burning Man a special case:
- Dust storms: The fine alkaline dust in the Black Rock Desert, called "playa dust", can cause severe damage to the mechanical and electronic components of an RV, which can lead to costly repairs.
- High temperatures: The intense desert heat can cause overheating, increased pressure on the RV's cooling system, and damage to the interior and exterior components.
- Lack of water and services: The absence of on-site water sources and the remote location make it difficult to clean and maintain RVs, increasing the risk of malfunction and damage.
- Increased wear and tear: The high number of participants and the lack of on-site services contribute to a faster rate of deterioration of RVs during the festival.
- Remote location: The Black Rock Desert is a remote location with limited roads and services. making roadside assistance difficult and time-consuming.
RVezy does not allow rentals heading to the Burning Man festival. Any booking identified to be attending the festival will be cancelled by RVezy.
