RV Rentals Arlington VA

Smelly hotel rooms. Hard beds. Carrying luggage in and out every day. Miles to drive to see the sights. Or…

Setting up a tent in the rain. Sleeping on the ground. Stashing your stuff in odd corners of a tiny tent. But the sights are right there, if you could straighten your aching back to look at them. Or…

Renting an RV can be comparable in price to staying in motels—and less then staying in higher-end lodges and resorts.

1. Decide where you’re going. You can save money on your rental by picking up your RV closer to your destination, not to mention the cost of gas to feed a larger engine than your daily driver. In many cases, large rental companies will let you pick up in one city, and drop off in another.

And note that the RV will magically shrink if you’re all stuck inside on a rainy day, so either be prepared for coziness or go a little bigger.
3. If possible, try one on for size. If you’ve never RVed, take an afternoon to see what typical RVs are like. You can go to a local dealer, or go to a regional RV show. If possible, take everyone you’ll be traveling with, close the door and pretend you’ll be spending a lot of time in there (it always rains on my vacation).
