Renting an RV lets you enjoy the flexibility of RV travel without all the costs and maintenance of ownership. With a rental, you can book the perfect rig for any trip just like you would a car or hotel. With Outdoorsy, you rent directly from the host but get the backing of programs like roadside assistance, insurance, and stellar support from real, live people 24/7.

How much are average RV rentals?

On average, you can expect to pay between $75 and $150 per night to rent most small trailers and campervans. Larger trailers and motorhomes could cost $100 to $250 per night. Renting an RV for a longer time can be even more affordable–a week or month-long rental could average out to less than $60 per day.

Are there RV rentals with unlimited mileage?

Yes! Each RV host can choose whether to offer unlimited miles on their vehicles. You’ll be able to see if unlimited mileage is an option on any listing you check out. If unlimited miles are not available, you’ll be able to see what is included with the base rate and what extra miles will cost.

Are RV rentals pet-friendly?

Many RV hosts allow pets in their rentals. Be sure to check the listing to see if it’s an option for the rig you have your eye on. You’ll be able to see if there is an extra deposit or fee for pets before you request a booking.

Do RV rentals offer delivery?

Having an RV delivered to your home or destination is a great way to simplify your trip. Many RV hosts offer delivery and setup services, usually for an extra fee or within a certain distance of their location. Each listing shows whether or not delivery is an option.

Are there RV rentals near me?

RV rentals are available all over the country! Whether you want to pick up an RV near home to set out an epic road trip or if you want to have one ready at your destination, you can search by location for any type of rig.

Renting an RV is an affordable way to get all the benefits of RV travel without the maintenance and overhead of ownership. It’s also a great way to try out the lifestyle and different types of rigs before you take the plunge and buy your own. Already own an RV? Consider renting yours out to bring in some extra income.

How many people can sleep in an RV?

Small travel trailers and campervans can usually sleep 2-4 people comfortably. Mid-size trailers and motorhomes usually sleep 4-8. Bigger rigs often sleep 6-10, some even 12!

Why choose Outdoorsy vs Craigslist or Airbnb?

Security, for one. Outdoorsy helps protect RV hosts and renters with excellent support and insurance options, and a secure platform for listings, communication, and payments. There are plenty of other reasons though, like roadside assistance, detailed listings, and a wide variety of RVs to choose from.

The Great Outdoors

Mt. Helix Park is a good place to start. It’s one of the highest points around El Cajon. Much of the park was a Depression-era work project, so it has a distinctive old-school feel. Take some time to learn about local wildlife at one of the visitor stations. If your timing is good, you can also catch a concert, play, or lecture at the huge rock amphitheater.

Don’t miss the San Diego Air & Space Museum Gillespie Field Annex. This offshoot of the main museum houses airplanes and other artifacts that, for one reason or another, are not on display in San Diego. So, visitors have a much more intimate experience at this museum. It’s also ideal for children, with extras like airplane tricycles to ride.The Western-themed Olaf Wieghorst Museum is definitely worth a visit as well. Many people consider Mr. Wieghorst, who came to El Cajon in 1945 and spent a lifetime creating Western art, to be a painter on par with Frederic Remington. In addition to many stunning oil-on-canvas works, the OWM also features concerts and other special events. Try to visit with the El Cajon rental RV in the spring when the cacti are in bloom.

Renting this trailer made our beach camping trip so much fun! Mayra was great at communicatiion. Trailer was very clean, beds were made and everything was supplied. Our family of 6 fit perfectly. I would highly recommend this trailer.

We had an amazing experience with Cliff the camper! The 2025 Keystone Coleman 13B was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. It was the perfect size—easy to tow and maneuver, yet still had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The layout is really smart, with plenty of storage and a cozy setup that made it feel like home on the road.

We had a wonderful experience with this RV! The host gave us a very friendly and detailed introduction, so we felt confident before heading out. The RV drove smoothly, was well equipped with everything we needed, and made our trip very comfortable. Communication was excellent — the host always responded quickly and was very helpful. We highly recommend it!
