The Cost of Renting an RV Motorhome Varies From Many Factors. Read below to learn more.
Renting an RV Motorhome could be a good alternative and an opportunity to experience outdoor living especially during the holidays. But before you go ahead, you need to be aware what the expected costs of renting the selected Class of vehicle would be.
The factors that determine the rental figure for RVs are size of the vehicle, nightly rental rate, expected mileage fees and fuel consumption. So basically the Class of the RV, number of days you would be using it, the distance you would be traveling and the fuel consumption level of the RV.
Nightly rates
Note that nightly rates change throughout the year depending on what time of year it is. Rates are cheaper in the fall and higher in the summer. Avoiding the peak summer rental period can save you hundreds of dollars rental fees. For most rental companies this period falls between late May to September.
Mileage Fees
Mileage fees vary from one company to the other. Some companies calculate their mileage fees together with the daily or weekly rates.
Fuel Consumption
Just like any other vehicle you would consider using; fuel consumption is a major factor to estimate. You can get a higher mileage per liter of gas from a Class B RV than a Class C or Class A.
