Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical mileage overage rate for RV rentals?

Most RV rental companies charge $0.25-0.50 per mile over the included allotment. Higher-value motorhomes tend to charge more ($0.35-0.50) while towable trailers are lower ($0.25-0.35). Some operators offer unlimited miles at a higher nightly rate as an alternative.

How many miles should I include in my rental price?

The industry standard is 100-150 miles per day for RV rentals. Some operators offer packages like 500 miles per week or 2,000 miles per month. Setting included miles too low frustrates customers; too high eats into your profit. Analyze your average renter's usage to find the sweet spot.

Should I offer unlimited mileage?

Unlimited mileage simplifies pricing and attracts renters, but increases your maintenance and depreciation costs. If you offer it, build the expected mileage cost into your nightly rate. It works best for short-duration rentals (1-3 nights) where renters rarely exceed 500 miles.
