Please note that all of our rental reservations are done on our website in a contactless manner. Once we have accepted your booking request and have emailed you a booking confirmation, we will send a separate emails that will include further rental information and lists all of the information we require you to send up prior to your pick up date. We’ll email your final pick up instructions a few days prior to your pick up time and if you have any questions, our team are quick to respond. Please email us if you want more information about this process before you book.
To book our RV Rentals, a non-refundable booking deposit is required at the time of booking and a $25 reservation fee. Once we receive your booking request, it may take up to 12 hours for us to confirm your booking via email. A prep fee is automatically included in every reservation when quoted or confirmed. If the pick up timeslot you have requested is not available, we will schedule the closest available pick up time for your rental.
Payments are accepted in USD and can be made on a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express only. Our primary payment processor we use is Stripe as it is the only one that we can do a credit card authorization online for the rental deposit. The security deposit must go on a credit card that matches the name on the primary driver’s driving license. We can also process payments through Square Payments at our location.
A security deposit is held on the primary driver’s credit card at the same time that we charge the rental balance. (Information on this is emailed when your booking is confirmed.) This transaction is set up as an authorization hold (not a charge). We release your security deposit after we inspect your returned vehicle. Returning rentals must be deemed undamaged, with a clean interior & exterior, all equipment must be returned and in the same condition, septic tanks empty and propane full as it was sent out, with no dog hair or smoke smells, and with a full tank of gas.
It can take approximately a week for the security deposit to be made available by your bank.

Your pick up and drop off times are chosen by you at the time of booking and are shown on your rental agreement. We reserve the right to adjust pick up times according to availability. A rental day is defined as a 24hour period. If you pick up your van at 3pm on your first rental day, then it is due back at 3pm on your last rental day.
