Can I rent an RV if I’m traveling out of state?
Yes, our service area covers South Central Texas, but we can discuss specific routes and destinations when you book. Most RVs are suitable for extended travel; let us know your itinerary and we’ll confirm any restrictions.
Are pets allowed in the rental RV?
Yes, we offer pet-friendly rentals. A pet fee applies and must be disclosed at the time of booking. Please let us know the size and number of pets when you inquire.
What’s included in the RV rental?
All rentals include kitchen appliances, linens, bedding, utility hookups (water, electric, sewer), and an awning. Specific amenities vary by unit type; check our RV rentals page for detailed equipment lists for each model.
Can I use the RV’s generator?
Yes, generator use is permitted during standard hours, typically 7am–10pm. You are responsible for fuel costs. Using the generator outside these hours may disturb other campers and may incur additional fees.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak season (March–November). However, we accept bookings based on availability, so contact us even for last-minute trips. The earlier you book, the better your unit selection.
What is a damage protection plan, and do I need it?
A damage protection plan is optional and covers accidental damage to the RV during your rental. Whether you purchase it or not, a refundable security deposit is held at booking. The plan protects you from major repair costs if damage occurs.
Can I extend my rental if I want to stay longer?
Yes, extensions are available subject to availability. You must request an extension at least 48 hours before your original return date. Contact us as soon as you know you’d like to extend so we can secure your unit.
What if the RV is returned dirty?
The RV must be returned in the same clean condition as delivery. If it requires cleaning beyond normal use, a cleaning fee will apply. We ask renters to do a quick sweep and wipe-down to avoid these charges.
Is a special license required to rent and drive an RV?
Since we deliver and set up your RV, you don’t need a special license to rent from us. You can drive the RV on public roads with a standard driver’s license, though we recommend familiarizing yourself with its size and handling before your trip.
What payment and deposit information do I need to know?
A refundable security deposit is required at booking to hold your reservation and protect against damage. Current pricing varies by season and unit type; contact us for a detailed quote. We accept major payment methods for both the deposit and final balance.
Can I pick up the RV myself instead of having it delivered?
Our service includes delivery and setup to your location — that’s part of what makes renting with us convenient. If you’d like to discuss alternative arrangements, contact Mark Rauch directly to explore your options.
Own an RV yourself? If your rig spends most of the year parked between trips, it doesn’t have to sit idle — a RV rental management service can rent it out and handle the bookings, cleaning, and logistics so you earn from it without the hassle.
