• How much should I charge for rentals?

   

  While we can provide recommendations for pricing based on your RV, you have complete control over setting the price for your listing. We understand that pricing is an important aspect for hosts, and we want to empower you to make decisions that work best for you.

  When determining your nightly rate, there are several factors to consider. The age and model of your RV, your location, and the amenities or equipment you provide all play a role in what you can charge. To get an idea of the market rate in your area, we suggest searching for similar RVs and comparing their pricing with yours. This will give you a better understanding of what guests are willing to pay. 

  Experimenting with your rate can also be helpful. You can try adjusting your price and see how it affects the number of booking requests you receive. This will give you insight into what price point attracts the most interest from potential guests.

  Remember, you can always refer to the Host FAQ guide that you received upon signing up for more information on pricing. It provides a comprehensive overview of our pricing guide and can help you make informed decisions when setting your rate.

• What should I charge for things like delivery or add-ons?

  If you decide to offer add-ons or delivery for an additional fee, it can be hard to decide how much to charge guests. We can help you by recommending some prices based on the average cost, however, the final decision rests in your hands. 

  For add-ons, you can refer to the Add-ons section in your listing to check the recommended price for each add-on.

  For delivery, you can check out this article to see our suggested pricing.

• Can I charge for the distance (mileage) driven?

  As an RV host, you can decide whether you want to charge guests for the distance they drive during their trip, or if you want to offer them unlimited mileage.

  In your listing, you can set a daily distance limit and a fee for any additional distance traveled beyond that limit. Under the Pricing section of your listing, scroll down to Mileage to set your limit.

  

  For US hosts, the distance will appear in miles. For Canadian hosts, it will appear in kilometers.

  We suggest that you provide an adequate amount of daily kilometers/miles to accommodate your guests as much as possible. This is usually around 125-200 miles or 200-300km. For additional kilometers/miles, we recommend charging $0.35/km or mile.

  You can also decide to offer unlimited mileage by toggling on this option.

• Can I deliver my RV to my guests?

  As an RV host, we know you're always looking for ways to make the rental experience more enjoyable and convenient for your guests. One of the best ways to achieve this is by offering RV delivery services to your guests. Let's dive into the details and discover how delivery can enhance your hosting experience!

   

  Why delivery?

  Delivery has become increasingly popular among both guests and hosts for the unmatched convenience, safety, and control that it provides. It's especially popular for towable RVs such as travel trailers and fifth wheels. Offering this service can make your listing more attractive to guests who who can't or prefer not to tow your RV. By providing delivery, you're expanding your potential guest pool by 40% and maximizing your number of bookings.

   

  Customizing delivery

  Adding delivery to your listing is a breeze! Head over to the Pricing section of your listing and toggle the delivery option on to get started. 

  

  The delivery fee is calculated based on the one-way* distance between your RV's location and the guest's desired delivery destination. You can customize three options:

  1. Max delivery distance (one-way): Set the maximum distance you're willing to deliver. Guests won't be able to select delivery if their destination exceeds this distance.
  2. Price per kilometre/mile: Choose the amount you'd like to charge per kilometre or mile. Hosts in the US should consider a range of $3 to $4 per mile, while hosts in Canada should consider a range of $1.50 to $2.50 per kilometre. This pricing will help maximize your rental potential, as 80% of guests are only willing to pay between $200 and $400 for delivery.
  3. Minimum delivery fee: Specify the minimum delivery fee you want to be paid for each delivery, regardless of distance. The system will default to the highest of the price per kilometre/mile or the minimum fee.

  *This does not mean that the guest will be charged the delivery fee twice, or that the host only has to deliver the unit once at the start of the trip. The delivery fee includes delivering and setting up the unit at the start of the trip as well as picking up the unit at the end of the trip. 

  

  You can also provide optional delivery details, which could include your delivery availabilities or any restrictions/requirements the guest should be aware of.

  

  You can make delivery a mandatory part of your rental offering by choosing the Delivery only setting.

  

   

  Delivery calculations and benefits

  When guests choose delivery for their bookings, they'll enter their destination while sending you a booking request. The delivery fee will be calculated automatically and added to the booking total.

  You'll be able to see the delivery fee in your payout details and the delivery destination in the details of the booking. Note that the delivery fee itself is only subject to a 5% service fee.

  If changes to delivery need to be made after a booking has already been confirmed, the guest will be able to request the change through our Edit Booking feature.

• How much should I charge for the security deposit?

  As a host, part of the listing process is to set the price of your security deposit. We recommend setting this amount anywhere between $500 and $1,500, but ultimately you can set the amount you are most comfortable with. To change your security deposit, start by opening the RVezy app and proceed to the 'Edit listing' page. From there, you can use the 'Pricing' tab to view or change your security deposit.

   

  

   

  This deposit will be used to cover the guest's deductible in the event of an approved insurance claim.

• Can I offer a special discount and how?

  As an RV host on RVezy, you are in full control of every aspect of your listing, including your pricing.

  As part of the listing process, you can set a weekly and a monthly discount to encourage longer rentals. This discount applies automatically whenever a guest sends a request for 7 nights or more (weekly discount) or for 28 nights or more (monthly discount).

  In your RV calendar, you're also able to set special pricing for specific dates or ranges. 

  You also have the ability to send a special offer to guests who request to rent your RV. This allows you to offer them special pricing or discounts different from the ones set in your listing.
