Renting an RV is a great way to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of the open road. This guide walks you through every step of the process, from searching for the right RV to understanding what happens after you send a booking request. By following these steps, you'll feel confident in choosing the perfect RV for your trip.

Search for an RV

Start by entering your desired location and travel dates. You can then use filters to narrow down the options and find the RV that best matches your plans.

Use filters to refine your search

Filters help you choose an RV that fits your travel style, comfort needs, and itinerary. You can filter by:

• Type of RV - such as motorhomes, campervans, fifth wheels, or travel trailers
• Delivery availability - whether you want the RV delivered to your campsite or if you'll pick it up yourself
• Pet-friendly - perfect if you plan to travel with your dog or other pets
• Festival-friendly - some RVs allow festival or event travel, while others do not
• RV year - narrowing by model year can help you find newer RVs if that's a priority
• RV length and weight - useful for campsite size requirements or towing verification
• Manufacturer - if you prefer certain brands
• Amenities - such as air conditioning, solar power, kitchen features, awnings, and more

Using filters early helps you focus on listings that fit your needs and makes comparing options easier.

Navigate the search results

Once you've narrowed down your search with filters, you can use the map feature to zoom in on a specific area. You can also change how the search results are sorted:

• Recommended (default): Let our search algorithm find the best RVs based on your search criteria and filters.
• Price: Sort by low to high or high to low and find the RVs that best suit your budget.
• Distance (closest first): See the RVs that are closest to your desired location.

Review each listing carefully

Before sending a request, take the time to read through the listing details. This helps you understand what the RV offers, what's included in the price, and what rules apply to the rental.

What to look for in the listing

• Description: Read the full description to understand how the RV is laid out, what it's like to use, and whether it suits your group size and trip style.
• Amenities: Check the list of included amenities so you know exactly what's provided. This may include kitchen supplies, bedding, bathroom features, heating or cooling systems, storage options, and more.
• Rates and allowances: Look closely at the mileage and generator allowances. Some listings include unlimited usage, while others may charge for additional use beyond a daily limit. Understanding this ahead of time helps you plan your route and budget.
• Delivery: If a host offers delivery, you'll see information about their rates, maximum delivery distance, and rules or restrictions. Enter your delivery address in the provided field to confirm whether the host can deliver there and the associated fee.
• Add-ons: Many hosts offer optional add-ons such as linens, barbecues, bike racks, or packages. These vary by listing and can enhance your trip.
• RV rules: Each host set their own rules. Be sure to review:
  • Pickup and drop-off times
  • Whether festivals or events are allowed
  • Restrictions on cross-border travel
  • Smoking or pet policies
  • Any other special requirements or guidelines
• Host profile and bio: See some basic information about the host such as when they joined RVezy, their response rate, and their other listings by clicking on their profile photo.
• Past guest reviews: Reviews offer insight into the RV's condition and the host's communication style. They can help you feel more confident in your choice.

Send a booking request

When you're ready, submit a booking request for the RV that fits your needs and travel plans by clicking on Request to book. 

You'll be prompted to enter your destination and select pick-up or delivery, if delivery wasn't already added. Write a brief message introducing yourself to the host, sharing information about your trip, and asking any questions you may have. 

After continuing, review the add-ons offered by the host and select any you may need for your trip. Lastly, review or change your protection plan and add your payment information. You'll only be charged if the host accepts your booking request.

What to expect after sending a request

• Hosts have 48 hours to accept or decline your request.
• The host may message you with questions about your trip. Responding promptly helps move the process forward.
• A host may also send a special offer, which can adjust pricing or customize the booking based on your needs.

Your booking is not confirmed until the host accepts or you submit your payment information if not already added.

Understand the cancellation policy

Once the host accepts your request, or once you submit your payment information, depending on the booking flow, your booking becomes confirmed. At that point, your trip is subject to our cancellation policy. Be sure to review the policy before submitting your booking request so you know what to expect if your plans change.

Finalize your trip plans

After your booking is confirmed, you'll receive important details from your host to help you prepare for your trip. Stay in touch through the platform, ask any questions you have, and get ready to enjoy your RV adventure.
