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

Not usually. A regular driver’s license covers the majority of RVs under 26,000 lbs. Larger commercial-style rigs may require a special license, but that’s more the exception than the rule.

Yes. Most rentals include 100 to 150 free miles per day and limited generator hours. If you go over, you’ll pay per mile or hour, so it’s smart to check the listing and plan your route ahead of time.

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

Definitely. Pennsylvania is packed with RV-friendly state and national park campgrounds, especially in the Poconos, Laurel Highlands, and along the Susquehanna River. Just keep an eye on RV length restrictions for older or rustic campsites.
