Like Class C RVs, travel trailers range from 10 to 40 feet, so their rates vary widely, too. In exchange for the cost savings, you&rsquo;ll have to deal with the minor inconvenience of securing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-vehicles-for-towing-campers\/\">tow vehicle<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/types-of-trailer-hitches\/\">hitch<\/a>, both of which will need to be equipped to pull your rental.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Toy Hauler Range: $90-$<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>200\/night<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-toy-hauler-brands\/\">Toy Haulers<\/a> are the luxury tanks as far as travel trailers go. They&rsquo;re built to haul all your gear and big boy toys like mountain bikes, kayaks, ATVs, and more. Plus, they have extra amenities like a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-toy-hauler-interior-ideas\/\">garage space<\/a>, a built-in gas tank to fuel your toys, and additional tie-downs. Since they represent a higher investment, they are more expensive to rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Teardrop Trailer Range: $50-$100<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>\/night<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/teardrop-trailer-with-bathroom\/\">Teardrop Trailers<\/a> are the most accessible since most SUVs have a towing capacity that can haul a teardrop.

Typically, what&rsquo;s in season up north is out of season down south.<strong> At season&rsquo;s peak, rates can be 25%-50% higher.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&rsquo;s why you want to find the shoulder season. <strong>The shoulder season is the period just before and just after the busy season. <\/strong>The RV rental cost will be less, your campground fees will be less, and there will be fewer crowds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The downside is that some amenities &ndash; like water parks &ndash; are only open in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"comparing-rv-rental-companies\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing RV Rental Companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional businesses like Cruise America offer a fleet of well-maintained vehicles, while peer-to-peer platforms such as RVshare and Outdoorsy present a kaleidoscope of RV types from private owners, each with a unique charm.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"cruise-america\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cruise America&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cruise America only offers Class C and travel trailer rentals<\/strong>, <em>so you&rsquo;ll need to go through another rental company if yo<\/em>u&rsquo;re<em> set on a Class A or Class B camper van. <\/em>When you rent through Cruise America, you can rest assured that your recreational vehicle of choice will be well-maintained and ready for the long journey ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The downside is that<strong> Cruise America&rsquo;s pricing structure is not very transparent and requires a lot of pre-trip calculations to budget accordingly<\/strong> Cruise America charges a per-day fee and every night for miles traveled &ndash; or you can pay extra for unlimited miles. On top of that, you also have the option of renting bedding, towels, dishes, etc. There may also be extra generator fees and\/or propane charges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&rsquo;ll also need a <strong>security deposit of $500-$1000<\/strong>,<em> depending on your rental.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&rsquo;re traveling in a group of two, you may think you&rsquo;re saving money by renting an RV&ndash;but <em>think again<\/em>.
