The reconciled booking
4 nights in Utah, both sides of the money

Tax estimates shown are illustrative. Actual tax is calculated at checkout based on pickup jurisdiction and current rates. Pick real dates on any Utah 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.

Asked before booking
Utah rental money, answered
How much does a Utah RV rental really cost?
A 4-night worked example at Utah rates: $660.00 rental subtotal + $66.00 service fee (10%) + $95.00 cleaning + $0.00 tax = $821.00. The same engine that prices checkout generated every line.
What does the RV owner actually receive?
$668.92 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 Utah tax figure exact?
The rate stack is statute-anchored (Utah Code § 59-12-103 (general sales tax)), 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.
