Boise, Idaho

An RV rental in Boise provides the best way to experience mountains, lakes and other natural wonders of the Gem State. As the state capital, Boise offers big-city class with down-home friendliness. Take a moment to choose the class of RV that suits your party's vacation needs.

For example, if you're planning to spend most of your day outdoors, then a Class B is a smaller vehicle for navigating winding mountain roads. A Class B doesn't sacrifice comforts, and the more modest size offers greater gas mileage due to its shorter length. A Class A is between 21 feet and 41 feet in length and is a drivable motorcoach that cruises at 6 to 8 miles per gallon. A Class C, at 20 feet to 38 feet long, sports the handling ability of a large truck, which many RV renters are accustomed to. In all classes, there is plenty of storage space to accommodate both necessities and fun items.

Speaking of fun, camper rentals in Boise include toy haulers as a towable garage for your ATV or snowmobile. Other towables are travel trailers of various sizes and fifth wheels. You'll need a special in-bed hitch on your truck if you select a fifth wheel. A serviceable pop-up camper rental in Boise expands on set up to provide a full kitchen, or you could consider motorhome rentals in Boise.
