What are the requirements to rent an RV in Indiana?

Most rentals require drivers to be at least 25 years old and hold a valid U.S. driver’s license. Some owners may approve renters 21 and up, especially with added insurance and a clean driving record.

Do I need a special driver’s license to rent an RV in Indiana?

Not for most rigs. A standard Indiana driver’s license covers RVs under 26,000 lbs, which includes nearly all listings. If you’re looking at something unusually large, double-check with the owner before booking.

How much does it cost to rent an RV in Indiana?

Daily rates typically range from $100–$225, depending on the type of RV and the season. Summer weekends, racing events in Indy, and fall foliage trips tend to book up fast, so plan ahead if you’re traveling during a busy time.

Are there mileage and generator usage limits when renting an RV?

Most rentals include 100 to 150 miles per day and a limited number of generator hours. Go over that, and you’ll see additional charges. Always check the rental details so your budget doesn’t take a surprise detour.

Can I take a rented RV to national parks or campgrounds in Indiana?

Absolutely. Indiana has dozens of RV-friendly state parks, and places like Indiana Dunes offer campsites with hookups near the water. Just keep an eye on rig length restrictions at some older or more rustic sites—those hairpin turns in the forest can be sneaky.
