Jacksonville RV Rentals
There's plenty to do while on vacation in Jacksonville. From entertainment venues like Theatre Jacksonville to outdoor areas like Dogwood Park to educational opportunities like the Museum of Science and History, there's never a dull moment in this city.
It’s also a great city to explore in an RV, and is incredibly easy with the help of RVshare. The size motorhome you’re going to want for this trip will vary, however, depending on how many people you’re traveling with and what you plan to do on your trip. A Class A motorhome is the largest - those are the bus-style RVs you see on the road. You can rent a Class A motorhome near Jacksonville for around $259 a night, although there are plenty that are cheaper...and they can also go up to $1,200. When you rent for several nights, you can also get a discount. That same rental goes down to $233 a night when you rent for a week, and $220 a night when you rent for a month.
Class B campervans are smaller, which makes them easy to drive and allows you to fit in just about any campsite. However, because they are so small, they can only be used if you’re traveling solar, or with a very small family. You can rent a Class B campervan near Jacksonville for about $195, though you’ll find some hidden gems on the RVshare site for less. Renting for a week will cost $185 per night, and for a month is $150 a night.
Class C campers are the best of both worlds - more room than a Class B campervan, but with some of the amenities of a Class A motorhome. You can rent a nice Class C camper for $199 per night, or $180 a night for a week. You’ll pay $170 a night when you rent for a month.
