Discover El Cerrito RV rentals for memorable road trips

Prior to 1906, the coastal city of El Cerrito went by the name of Rust, after a German blacksmith who moved to the area in 1883 and built his businessman there. In those days, El Cerrito was little more than a bare landscape punctuated by herds of cattle and chicken farms. Following a critical earthquake in San Francisco the population of the town rapidly expanded as refugees sought greener pastures and in 1917, El Cerrito was incorporated into a city. Since then El Cerrito has continued to grow and nowadays is filled with pleasant gardens and modern amenities.

My wife and I had an amazing time on our trip with Sid's van. The van was clean and very thoughtfully designed. It was easy to drive and had everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable. Sid was very communicative and professional. We would highly recommend renting this van and are looking forward to doing so again in the future.

As first-time RV renters and Outdoorsy users, we weren't sure what to expect — but this experience completely won us over. We took the Mercedes Entegra Qwest 24R down to KOA Santa Cruz for a weekend trip with our family. It was everything we hoped for and more!
