We love to help.

If anything changes with your original trip dates, either prior to or during the trip itself, contact the owner immediately to get their approval.

If the owner approves of the date changes, you can click “Suggest new dates” in your renter Dashboard and send them over to the owner to approve. The owner can also do this in their Dashboard.

If you need to cancel your reservation, notify the RV owner and familiarize yourself with their cancellation policy. Outdoorsy upholds all owner cancellation policies as set on their listings.

If you are in the middle of a booking when changes need to be made, contact both the owner and Outdoorsy’s support team at support@outdoorsy.com.

Cancellation Policies

What do terms like “booking total” and “service fee” refer to?

The total cost of a rental on Outdoorsy is broken down into three main components:

• Booking Total: the direct cost of the rental itself, inclusive of the nightly rate x number of nights, plus any add-ons or fees charged by the owner for services like mileage, cleaning or dumping.

• Service Fee: helps us keep the lights on and gives renters access to our 24/7 customer support team.

• Insurance: the insurance bundle selected by the renter for this booking. Outdoorsy requires collision and insurance for all rentals.

How does COVID-19 affect the Outdoorsy cancellation policy?  

Because of the rapidly-evolving nature of COVID-19, we are currently unable to adapt our policies around the pandemic. Though we made exceptions in March 2020, we must now return to our original cancellation policies put in place for the protection of our valued renters and dedicated owners.

Before booking a planned vacation or last-minute getaway, please examine the owner’s cancellation policy thoroughly and research how COVID-19 may be affecting your travel destination.
