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.

Discover Rapid City RV rentals for memorable road trips

In the beautiful Black Hills region of South Dakota lies the bustling town of Rapid City. Boasting the second largest population in the state, behind Sioux Falls, Rapid City is a great place to base yourself for easy access to a variety of adventures. If you’re searching for RV rentals in Rapid City, you’re also almost certainly planning to visit the state’s most famous attraction: Mount Rushmore. The 60-foot tall granite sculpture is one of the most iconic symbols of America and features the faces of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln. Also nearby is the unfinished Crazy Horse Memorial, a tribute to the indigenous Lakota people of the region who were nearly wiped in the late 1800s. If the rock sculpture is ever completed, it will be even larger than Mount Rushmore. However, don’t let these gigantic monuments be your only stops with the motorhome rental in South Dakota; Rapid City has quite a few great attractions that go undiscovered by most tourists.

Had a great trip to Spearfish, SD for the annual Dakota 5-0 mountain bike race! Jon was an excellent host - our camper was already delivered and ready for use by the time we made it to town. Would highly recommend renting from Jon and hope to do the same in the future. Thanks again!!
