Long term RV rental for an extended trip
You and your family may be searching for a long term RV rental for the extended trip of a lifetime. Now that a lot of jobs allow for remote work, and kids can do schooling from the road, families have a chance to be more mobile during the year. If you want to try a monthly RV rental for an extended trip, here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Check with the listing owner to make sure they do long term RV rentals
The first step to renting long term is to make sure the owner actually offers rentals for the length of time you want. Some listings have a maximum trip length. But also, some owners are willing to discuss extending that length. If you find a rental you like, reach out to the owner to see if they would be open to you renting for a longer period of time.
2. See if there are discounts for renting longer
Some owners also offer discounts on the rental fee if you rent for a longer period of time. See if the owner lists – or if you can negotiate – a fee for a weekly or monthly RV rental. In fact, many owners offer a higher discount the longer you rent.
3. See if there are mileage fees
Chances are you’re planning to cover a lot of ground if you’re planning an extended trip. Many listings include a certain amount of mileage per day for free with the rental, but going over that amount may result in a mileage fee. That’s usually a small fee per mile. But if you go many miles over the daily allotment, that can add up quickly! You’ll want to add that excess fee to your budget as you plan.
4. Consider what’s included in the rental
Take plenty of time to go over your RV rental if you’re renting it long-term. You might be able to do without a missing object for a weekend, but on a months-long journey, you’ll want to make sure you’re not missing anything. You can use an RV checklist to ensure you have everything you need for your trip.
5. Consider a short trip to get started
Try camping somewhere nearby for a night or two before embarking on an epic trip. This allows you to get used to your rental RV. If you do have any problems or questions, you’re close to the owner and can work out any kinks. This also allows you to make sure you have everything packed for your longer journey.
Long term RV rental for temporary housing
RVshare also works to partner owners with people who need temporary housing after a disaster. RVshare has a Disaster Response Solutions Team that works with 501c3 non-profits. The company assists private people and federal, state, and local governments. First responders and personnel who need housing while helping with a crisis and people who have lost homes in that crisis can both be connected with RV owners willing to rent to them.
Often, RVshare can also arrange for owners to deliver and set up RVs for those who need them.
Having a place where workers and those affected by disaster have not only a bed, but a bath and shower, a living area, and a kitchen and dining space can make things more convenient for them. It can also be a comfort for people to have a space to cook, some storage, and a place to relax or work.
Long term RV rental for events
RVshare can also partner owners with those who want to rent an RV long-term for an event. Many kinds of events require long-term rentals for people who want to be there from start to finish or who are working the event itself.

RVshare can assist owners and renters looking for temporary accommodations for:
- Corporate events like NASCAR or sporting events
- Music festivals
