PickRV is a multi-vendor, peer-to-peer marketplace to rent RVs, campervans, towables, boats, off-road rigs, and classic touring vehicles from local owners and rental operators across all 50 US states. You search by state or vehicle type, compare honest nightly prices, and book securely through Stripe.

Does PickRV charge renters a service fee?

No. Renters pay no service fee on PickRV — the nightly price you see is the price you plan around, with the final total shown before you pay. There are no drip-pricing add-ons at checkout.

How much do owners keep on PickRV?

Owners keep 75% of every booking. There are no listing fees and no monthly minimums — owners set their own calendar, price, and pickup rules. State Pioneers, the first three hosts in each state, keep an even higher share during their first year.

Is PickRV an insurance company?

No. PickRV is a marketplace, not an insurer or insurance underwriter. Optional liability coverage is offered at checkout through a licensed third-party insurer. The provider name, policy limits, and deductible are disclosed before you purchase, and you can decline.

Do I need a special license to rent an RV?

For most motorhomes and campervans, a standard US driver's license is enough. Some states have age, endorsement, or operator-license rules for larger vehicles, boats, and off-road rigs — PickRV flags those requirements on the individual listing so you know before you book.

Which states is PickRV available in?

PickRV covers all 50 US states. Inventory grows as more owners list their rigs, so availability varies by state and dates. If your dates aren't covered near you yet, you can save a search alert and we'll email you the moment a match becomes available.
