The reconciled booking
4 nights in Texas, both sides of the money
A worked example at Texas rates — not a live listing. A representative 4-night trip priced by the same cents engine that runs checkout, printed as two receipts that settle to the same figure.

The 15% markup on top of the host's base, plus the 10% service fee
Charged by the state where PickRV is registered to collect it. PickRV is not registered in any state yet, so no tax is added today.

Tax estimates shown are illustrative. Actual tax is calculated at checkout based on pickup jurisdiction and current rates. Pick real dates on any Texas listing and the same ledger unfolds on the live price.
Your payout is released after the trip wraps up, then typically reaches your linked bank account within 2–5 business days — the first payout can take longer while Stripe verifies your account.
Texas tax, line by line
The Texas rate stack behind that tax line
Texas levies a 10% Motor Vehicle Gross Rental Receipts Tax (Tex. Tax Code § 152.026) on rentals of 30 days or less. This replaces — not stacks on — the standard 6.25% state sales tax. Local sales tax does not apply. The marketplace facilitator law (§ 151.0242) will make PickRV the collector once PickRV is registered in Texas; it is not registered yet, so no Texas tax is added at checkout and the host remains responsible.
Statute-anchored: Tex. Tax Code § 152.026 (10% Motor Vehicle Gross Rental Receipts Tax for rentals ≤ 30 days) · § 152.0261 (rate) · § 151.0242 (marketplace facilitator)

Asked before booking
Texas rental money, answered
How much does a Texas RV rental really cost?
A 4-night worked example at Texas rates: $1,316.00 rental subtotal + $131.60 service fee (10%) + $95.00 cleaning + $0.00 tax = $1,542.60. The same engine that prices checkout generated every line.
What does the RV owner actually receive?
$1,239.36 on that worked example — 100% of the base price they set, plus the full cleaning fee. Hosts keep 100% of the base price they set; PickRV adds a 15% markup on top of that base to form the listed price (10% for partner hosts — permanent, either by invitation from our team or automatically at 3+ active listings). Renters pay a separate 10% service fee at checkout, plus state tax — every line itemized before payment.
Is the Texas tax figure exact?
The rate stack is statute-anchored (Tex. Tax Code § 152.026 (10% Motor Vehicle Gross Rental Receipts Tax for rentals ≤ 30 days)), last verified 2026-05-25. Tax estimates shown are illustrative. Actual tax is calculated at checkout based on pickup jurisdiction and current rates.
When does money actually move?
48-hour free cancellation before pickup. Your security deposit is released after the 48-hour post-trip review window, unless a damage claim is filed. Your payout is released after the trip wraps up, then typically reaches your linked bank account within 2–5 business days — the first payout can take longer while Stripe verifies your account.
