Overview

RV rental companies provide motorhomes, travel trailers, and camper vans for road trips and camping adventures.

With RV travel booming post-pandemic and van life popular, RV rentals generate revenue of $250,000-$850,000 with 35-50% margins through weekly rates.

The business requires RV fleet (Class A/B/C motorhomes, travel trailers, camper vans), storage facility, comprehensive insurance, orientation and training, and maintenance capability.

Services include motorhome rentals (Class A, B, C), travel trailer rentals, camper van rentals, camping equipment packages, orientation and training, and delivery and setup options.

Revenue through weekly rates $800-$3,500 plus mileage.

Success factors include RV fleet investment (new or quality used), comprehensive insurance and damage protection, thorough orientation and customer training, peak season demand management (summer), and maintenance and winterization.

Marketing focuses on family vacationers, van life enthusiasts, retirees, and experiential travel.

With RV travel surging and outdoor recreation popular in 2025, RV rental offers adventure opportunities serving travelers seeking road trip freedom with high fleet investment barrier.
