What are the requirements to rent an RV in Utah?

Most rentals require drivers to be at least 25 years old with a valid U.S. driver’s license. Some owners will rent to drivers 21+ with additional insurance and a good driving record.

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

Not for most rigs. A standard Utah license covers vehicles up to 26,000 lbs. That includes nearly all motorhomes, trailers, and campervans listed on Outdoorsy.

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

Daily rates typically range from $110 to $275, depending on the RV type, size, and time of year. Spring and fall are peak seasons in Utah’s national parks, so prices can rise, especially near Moab or Zion.

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

Most rentals come with 100–150 miles per day and limited generator hours. Extra usage may come with added fees, so it’s a good idea to read the listing details and plan ahead.

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

Absolutely. Utah’s national and state parks are built for RV access. Just be aware of size restrictions in certain campgrounds—especially in places like Zion, where shuttle systems limit large vehicle access during peak months.

Discover Utah RV rentals for memorable road trips

Utah is nothing if not a state of contrasts. Nearly half of the state’s residents are followers of The Church of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon church. Temple Square, in downtown Salt Lake City, is home to the first Mormon Temple and is the headquarters of the faith. Down in the southern part of the state, though, outdoor adventure is king, with grizzled mountain bikers and climbers coming from all over the country (and the world) to explore its amazing landscapes.

Utah’s Outdoors

There’s no doubt about it, Utah is one of the best places to go if you love the outdoors. It has perhaps the highest concentration of national parks and monuments, so there’s never a shortage of places to play. Its landscapes are also some of the most unique, ranging from craggy peaks to smooth sandstone plateaus, and everything in between.Utah is defined by the Wasatch Range, which runs for 160 miles from the Idaho border down into the central part of the state. They’re home to some of the best hiking in the American West, appealing to novice and experts alike. One of the most popular (and accessible) trails is Mount Timpanogos, which reaches a height of nearly 12,000 feet. On the backside of the Wasatch Range are some of the state’s most well-known ski resorts, like Alta, Park City, and Sundance - where the eponymous independent Sundance Film Festival takes place each January.The southern half of the Beehive State is famous for being home to some of America’s most iconic national parks. The Mighty Five, as they are sometimes referred to, include Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and Capitol Reef National Park - and they are all within a relatively short drive of each other. Arches is its most accessible, with just one major road running through the park that is usually within a five-minute hike of the rock formations.The parks can get pretty crowded during the summer months, and finding a Southern Utah RV park with open sites can be a challenge. For those wanting to get off the beaten path, there’s Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. The monument has some of the same spectacular landscapes found in the parks but without all the development and crowds. Camping is also much more accessible, with tons of great spots for boondocking, or you can stay at a minimalist RV park run by the Bureau of Land Management.If you really want to experience the American Southwest the way it’s portrayed in the movies, you need to head to Monument Valley near the Arizona border. Its picturesque buttes were used in dozens of Western films during the 1950s and '60s, particularly by director John Ford. Most visitors simply drive through in a vehicle, but to fully experience them, it’s best to go with a guide. Monument Valley lies inside the Navajo Nation reservation, so taking a tour with a local will also help you to better understand the region’s importance to Native American culture.

Utah’s Cities

Salt Lake City, the state’s capital and largest metropolitan area, will probably be your first stop when you get a camper rental in Utah. While it’s most well-known for the opulent Mormon Temple at its center, the city is also one of Utah’s more diverse communities. You should definitely include a tour of the temple grounds (the actual temple is not open to visitors), but breweries, bars, and nightclubs can all be found here, along with fantastic attractions like the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum and the Leonardo Museum, which focuses on the evolution of science and technology. Usually, when you stay in a big metropolitan city, the only campground options are located far from downtown. That's not the case in SLC. The Salt Lake City KOA is just west of Temple Square and has loads of great amenities. There are full hookups for your RV rental, spacious sites capable of handling up to 80-foot rigs, and there’s a camp kitchen for whipping up gourmet meals. Need a place to relax at the end of the day? There’s a large swimming pool and a hot tub/sauna set up for post-adventure lounging.On the other side of the Wasatch Range from SLC is one of Utah’s most popular ski destinations, Park City. Sitting at the foot of the famed Deer Valley Resort, Park City is loaded with apres-ski activities, including gourmet restaurants, trendy bars, and luxury brand stores. But even if you’re not thinking about hitting the slopes when you get an RV rental in Utah, Park City has some serious sight-seeing potential. In 2002, the city hosted several winter Olympics events, and you can visit the spectacular facilities leftover from the games. Park City’s historic core is also one of the most walkable downtown areas in America, with all sorts of tasty restaurants and good shopping. Park City RV camping options can be found a short drive out of the city. River’s Edge RV Resort is conveniently located next to Highway 189 and on the banks of the Provo River. Sites are large, with full hookups, and they have showers, laundry facilities, and a play area for the kids.For most people taking a road trip through Utah, Moab is just a basecamp for outdoor adventures. Canyonlands and Arches are just minutes away, but you actually don’t need to leave the city to have fun. The Moab Food Truck Park serves up delicious meals ranging from beefy burritos to donuts slathered in a milky sweet glaze. There are also tons of events in town that capitalize on the adjacent landscapes, like star parties with the local astronomy club or guided mountain bike rides through the red sandstone plateaus. With so many national parks near Moab, finding a good campsite can be a challenge. As such, you should make reservations early, and if you want to camp in comfort, there is no better place to do it than the Moab KOA. Like most KOAs, it’s big on amenities like a swimming pool, a dog park, and a sauna. Campground staff can help you set up amazing day trips, too, including ATV and horseback rides or a hot air balloon adventure.On the opposite side of the state is the town of St. George, the gateway to Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks. In addition to its stunning natural features, St. George has all the amenities of a first-rate resort town, like delicious international cuisine, a fun brewery, and several popular shopping centers. If you’re bringing the kids on this motorhome camping adventure, be sure to stop at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Center, which has some impressive skeletons and informative displays. You need only take a short drive outside of St. George to find a good place to camp while renting an RV. St. George/Hurricane KOA Campground offers full hookups along with a swimming pool, mini-golf course, and a snack bar. It’s near to Red Cliffs Recreation Area and Quail Creek State Park, so there’s no shortage of outdoor recreation opportunities.
