WHAT TYPES OF RVS CAN
BE RENTED?
The most common rentals are motorhomes. They are easier
to drive for the novice since they handle more like a car-although
sometimes like a car designed for giants! However, you will
find all variations available for rental, from the little
pop-up trailer to 35-foot fifth wheel trailers.
CAN YOU RENT A LUXURY
RV?
Similar to fractional ownership of small jets, companies
will sell a fraction of a high end motorhome so that owners
have the luxurious conveyance they desire for the few weeks
a year they might use it without paying the full $250,000
to a million dollar price tag. The company houses and manages
the motorhomes, enabling the owners to share the expenses
of depreciation, maintenance, storage, insurance. Typically,
when the three-year ownership agreement is completed, the
RVs are sold and the proceeds are returned to the fractional
owners.
This approach is not for everyone, but
it is great for those who want a luxury vehicle without the
headaches of sole ownership and the time and money expended
for the upkeep. To find out what companies offer this service,
look
at this list provided by Google.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
TO RENT AN RV?
You will have to do your research on this topic. The
costs are dependent on the size and age of the rig, the season
that you want it, the length of time you will rent it, additional
services like delivering it to a certain location if needed,
outfitting the rig with linens, dishes, food. Companies also
have rental specials.
