How to Find Great Deals on Long-Term & Monthly RV Rentals

How to Find The Best Deals on Long-Term RV Rentals

The best place we've found for long-term RV rentals is via peer-to-peer rental platforms like Outdoorsy. You can rent an RV from trusted RV owners, you get free roadside assistance, and they offer up to $1M insurance on every rental.

Searching for RV rentals on their platform is easy. Just head over to their site, plug in the city or state you plan on staying, and enter the dates.

As you can see, you can also filter your search by price. Other filters include whether an RV is pet-friendly, amenities, customer reviews, how many people it sleeps, and even specific keywords (like "luxury" or "monthly rental friendly").

Once you've found soon good potential rentals, consider reaching out to the RV owners to see if they'll make a deal with you. Often, you can get them to lower their prices for long-term renters. The price on the site is just their public price, but many RV owners will negotiate with you!

I *highly* recommend reading customer reviews before you buy. Similar to Airbnb, these reviews will tell you if the owner is easy to work with and if their rig is in good condition. Outdoorsy has a vigorous process to make sure only trusted RV owners get on their platform, but sometimes a bad egg can slip through.

Why Should You Get A Monthly RV Rental?

Renting a camper for long periods of time can help you save money and experience a true RV adventure! It's hard to get the full experience in a long weekend or even a whole week.

But beyond that, here are the reasons you should rent vs. own:

Monthly RV Rental Prices

Now you're probably wondering - this is great, but how much does it cost to rent an RV for a month? Am I really saving that much money?

We did a study on the average RV rental prices across the US and found that RV rentals range from $50 to $200 per night on average.

However, when renting RVs for long periods (such as a month or even a year), you can get prices as low as $50 per night or less!

Again, remember that you can often negotiate with RV owners since they're competing with one another for your business. They love long-term renters because it saves them from having to fill their calendar to keep the money coming in from their RV business.

Where to Find Monthly RV Rentals Near You

Like I said above, the best place to find camper rentals is Outdoorsy or another peer-to-peer RV rental company.

We chose Outdoorsy as our #1 pick because we recently compared them to the other top rental companies and found that they have the best insurance, best customer service, and best reviews.

Here's their rating on the Better Business Bearue website—they got the highest score possible, an A+, compared to the other who only got a B or lower.

Outdoorsy also has the widest selection of rentals in the world! They've got fifth wheel rentals, motorhome rentals, camper van rentals, travel trailer rentals, truck camper rentals, toy hauler rentals, luxury RV rentals, cheap RV rentals... you name it, they've got it.

Plus, unlike traditional RV dealerships and rental companies like Cruise America and El Monte RV, Outdoorsy allows you to book online in the comfort of your own home. No phone calls, no driving to the dealer's office to discuss anything.
