Why Rent a Motorhome or RV? |
 May of 2019 Features: The Charming Adventures
"We are Philip and Tessa Miller of Scottsdale, Arizona. Our first RV Adventure was in 2013. Philip wanted to participate in the week-long RAGBRAI bike ride, where you and 20,000 of your closest friends ride your bike across the state of Iowa in one big epic rolling party. We thought about renting an RV for the occasion, but then said "Let's just buy one." We knew the model we wanted, but had never driven it (or any RV, for that matter). We located the perfect model in Las Cruces, New Mexico -- bought it over the phone sight unseen and then flew there to drive her back home. That was just the beginning of lots of good times. We did shorter trips (1-6 weeks) while we still had teenagers living at home. Now that we are empty-nesters and Philip is partially retired, we can go for much longer, our longest trip so far is 5 months. We love RV'ing, and the planning is sometimes as much fun as the actual trip. We are NOT "fly by the seat of your pants" travelers; we always have a very detailed itinerary and reservations along the way. It's less stressful to us that way."

There are many reasons why renting a motorhome instead of  purchasing may be a good solution. For the individual who has limited vacation time, a short term vacation on wheels without the long term costs associated with rv ownership may be the best option. The outright costs associated with buying an rv from a dealer include; licensing fees, insurance, storage and ongoing maintenance. Couple these costs with a relatively quick depreciation rate and the motorhome rental option begins to look better by the moment.
Another reason to rent an rv is for first time buyers. Try before you buy. You may not always be able to rent the exact model rv you wish to purchase but you will be able to find out the things you must have and those you can live without. One can also get an overall sense of their comfort level driving, parking and living in an rv for a time.

Choosing an insurance company for your rv may seem like a difficult and confusing task but done correctly it will save you money and many headaches. Insurance coverage for RV's vary greatly in terms of items covered and in cost, so both aspects must be taken into consideration. What and how much is covered is a basic question, a good starting point is to look for companies which offer total loss replacement, purchase price guarantee, custom equipment coverage, awning replacement coverage, diminishing deductibles, full-timers liability coverage, vacation liability, emergency expense coverage and personal effects (contents) coverage.
You can save hundreds of dollars a year on motorhomes by requesting and comparing quotes from many companies. With most of the companies now offering online quotes, you may now compare many rv insurance companies with just a few clicks and a bit of time. Once you have all the quotes in front of you just compare coverage's based on your needs and budget. If you have any questions make sure to contact the provider to clarify them for you and always get it in writing. Our RV Insurance page lists many companies to begin your search. |
