Frequently asked questions
Q.
How is mileage calculated?
A.
(Your mileage - # nights x mileage per night ) x $0.35/mile For example: A two night booking, traveling 350 miles. (350-2x150 miles/night) = 50 miles over the included limit. Additional charge = 50 miles x 0.35 = $17.50
Q.
What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
I try to be as flexible as possible, if the van is available in the morning and the timing works for both of us we can plan for an early pick up. A late pick up can also be planned for in advance. Please add the "Early Pick Up" $50 add-on and "Late Drop off" $50 add-on.
Q.
Do I need Outdoorsy Insurance and Roadside Assistance?
A.
Yes. See Outdoorsy FAQs on this matter.
