Rent An RV For The Summer Vacation You?ll Never Forget

Ready for a vacation? Renting an RV offers many perks for travelers looking to see the country. Here?s what you should know:

1. Renting an RV with RVshare is easy. The process is simple: Choose whether you want the RV rental delivered to your home or campsite, or if you want to pick it up from the owner, then choose the RV you want based on your location, driving comfort level and preferred amenities. RVshare will offer results to help you find the right match.

Pro tip: If you don?t know the first thing about RVs and don?t want to drive or tow one, many RV owners on the platform will deliver the RV right to your campsite and get it completely set up for you. All you have to do is show up!

2. RVing is a great way to explore the country. RVing allows you to tour beautiful parts of the country, turning the drive into the main attraction. It provides an immersive experience, helping you explore the U.S. in new ways. Camp in national parks to experience the nighttime serenity after the crowds have gone, or venture off the beaten path to explore the hidden gems found in many U.S. state parks.

3. There?s an RV for every family. RVshare has a rental for your specific travel needs, no matter your party size. Search through more than 100,000 RVs available across all 50 states, using filters like number of beds, driveability and price to fit your exact needs. There are even pet-friendly rentals available so your furry friends can join in on the fun.

4. An RV vacation allows you to get off the grid. Hitting the road in an RV is a great excuse to disconnect from daily life and make memories with loved ones. However, if you need Wi-Fi on your vacation, you can choose an RV with electric features or bring a private Wi-Fi network to stay in touch with people back home.

5. RVing offers an affordable alternative to traditional vacations. RVing provides a budget-friendly solution by turning your travel and sleeping arrangement costs into one expense. With RVshare, rentals start at just $50 a day. Plus, some RVs offer kitchens, stocked with full-sized appliances and countertop space, making it easy to cut food costs while on the road.

6. RVshare helps you travel with confidence. When you rent through RVshare, you can book with confidence knowing you?re covered by the worry-free rental guarantee. RVshare offers a safe and secure booking platform, 24/7 roadside assistance and customer support, and protection plans to ensure you?re always protected on adventures ? so the only thing you need to think about is where you?re headed next.

With 1,200 square miles of the park to explore, there?s plenty for the whole family to do, from scheduled in-park activities to hiking one of the many trails. Yosemite offers stunning landscapes including one of the United State?s tallest waterfalls, Yosemite Falls, as well as ample mountainside views and sequoias dating back upwards of 3,000 years.
