RV rental Benicia, CA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

On the north shore of the Carquinez Strait, Benicia offers a variety of things to do and see while keeping you close to destinations like San Francisco or Napa, both of which make great locations for day trips. The city’s location has also played an important role in the ways that Benicia has developed over the years. Benicia was once a destination for Pony Express Riders who hoped to catch a ferry and cross over to Martinez, simply because they had missed their steamer in Sacramento. In the late 1870s, the city was established as an important port city, when large ferries began carrying trains from Benicia to Port Costa. By the mid-1880s, shipyards in Benicia became a central location for wheat storage and trade.

While there were times of decline for the small city, in the 1960s the Benicia Arsenal was shut down and the Benicia-Martinez Bridge was constructed. These developments allowed the city to grow as a suburb of Oakland and San Francisco. Today, with a population of just under 30,000 residents, there is no shortage of things to do when renting your RV in Benicia. From art galleries and restaurants to museums, parks, and more, there is certain to be something for everyone.
