Renting an RV is all the rage these days.
Many people are deciding that hitting the open road with their family beats going to the beach and spending tons of your hard-earned money on fancy umbrella drinks.
But if you and your family want to hit the road in an RV this summer, how does a newbie make sure to get a good deal on an RV that hasn't been "through the ringer"? With all of the RV Rental places coming up these days, there are a lot of good places to rent and a lot of bad places to rent.
Trying to tell you where to go is a bit out of the range of this article, but I will try to give you some pointers on what to look for if you are going on a short-to-medium length trip on America's roads.
Tips to Getting the Cheapest and Most Luxurious RV Rental: 1.
Decide on Your Trip Beforehand:Are you going to be driving one-way or roundtrip?Are you going to want to drive outside the border zone and into Canada or Mexico?How many people are you bringing along?Are you going to be towing a car along too? Knowing the answers to these questions and calling prepared will make an impression on your rental person.
The impression will show that you are well thought out and that you know a little bit about motor home travel.
Letting your salesperson know that you aren't in foreign territory will ensure that they don't try to take you for a ride.
2.
Do your research beforehand:Do some Internet searches for RV Rental's in the area you are looking to go.
Alaska is gaining popularity and so are many of our nation's parks out west.
A bit of research beforehand can save you money and ensure that your specific needs are met.
Some of the things you might want to ask about are: What if I return the RV early for any reason? Can I tow a car behind? Can we leave out luggage at the Rental Facility? Can someone pick us up from the airport? 3.
Negotiate:Rental rates are not set in stone.
(Even if it seems like they are).
Negotiate your rate and negotiate between two or three rental places if possible.
The more money you save here, the more you'll have to spend on Ice Cream, Hotdogs, Beer and Excursions while you are out on the road.

All this work has added up to you hitting the road and having a memorable vacation.
Keep in mind that there are going to be some difficulties because you are driving a huge rig, but this is a vacation where you learn a little something too.
Nothing can bring friends and family close like being out in the middle of nowhere with music, a picnic, and a beautiful scene.
