Your tax reality in Utah
Utah flat 4.85% state income tax on net (see tax.utah.gov, TC-40). Federal Schedule E deductibles apply with minor UT adjustments. Some parks add reservation or day-use fees on top of camping — verify at recreation.gov before quoting.
Consult a tax professional. Deduct per IRS Pub 527. State revenue site for exact filing. Occupancy / lodging taxes may apply separately depending on your operation.
Your rig is protected in Utah.
Verified handover
Renters verify identity through Stripe Connect KYC, and timestamped handover photos document your rig's condition before keys change hands.
Pre- and post-trip inspection
A simple inspection checklist captures the rig's state at pickup and return, so any renter-attributable damage is clear, not a he-said-she-said.
Your policy stays yours
PickRV does not sell or offer insurance coverage. Renters arrange their own coverage; hosts may carry their own commercial policies. PickRV is not an insurer.
Returned the way you sent it
Clear return expectations and the post-trip inspection set the standard, so your rig comes back ready for the next guest — clean and accounted for.

What Utah hosts figure out first
The one local constraint that changes the economics here⌄
Dark-sky park access is rationed by parking, not permit: Sunset Point at Bryce caps ~80 cars; arrive after 9pm summer and ranger triage turns you away. Plan pickup after 4pm, hike-in views at 11pm on weeknight. Length-cap reality on scenic byways: Hwy 12 (Bryce–Capitol Reef) hard 30-ft cap at Hogback; Hwy 24 west of Capitol Reef OK to 40 ft; Hwy 95 to Natural Bridges OK to 35 ft. Class A 36+ ft common rentals discover this at the trailhead. Shoulder-season is 8 weeks not 4: spring Mar 15–May 7 (post-Easter), fall Sep 25–Nov 5. Night temps drop below 30°F at Bryce (~8000 ft) — rig must have working furnace + frozen-tank protection. Mighty 5 is one loop but Arches timed-entry reservation resets order: when active you need separate timed slot 7am-4pm on top of park pass (recreation.gov rolling). Skip Arches peak and choose direction based on actual slot scored. See /road-trips/mighty-five-utah/ for daily mileage, hookup tiers, shoulder pacing. Number your plan or you waste days in line.

5 steps to your first booking in Utah
1. Connect Stripe Express. Utah 4.85% flat on net (tax.utah.gov) — report via federal Schedule E with TC-40. Keep depreciation basis for any rig sale.
2. In rules/profile: hard length caps — Hwy 12 Hogback 30 ft max, many turnouts too tight for 35+ ft. List exact LOA and 'Hogback section on Hwy 12 prohibited for your rig size'.
3. Calendar blocks for Arches timed-entry windows (recreation.gov) and shoulder (Mar 15–May 7, Sep 25–Nov 5). Block when night lows at Bryce will be below your furnace rating.
4. For dark-sky listings: require guests arrive by 4pm or accept that Sunset Point may be full; suggest weeknight 11pm hikes instead of weekend sunset crowds.
5. Publish numbered checklist in rules: '1. Check recreation.gov for your Arches slot before pickup. 2. Measure true loaded height for tunnels. 3. Confirm furnace works for 25°F nights at 8000 ft. 4. Top off fuel before Hogback. 5. Arrive with full water — many high camps have none.'

Frequently asked by Utah hosts
How do I rent out my RV in Utah?+
Apply at pickrv.com/list-your-rv — photos plus rig details take about 10 minutes. After the host attestation checklist and approval, your listing goes live to Utah renters. You keep 100% of your base rate: PickRV's flat 15% commission is built into the displayed price, and payouts arrive via Stripe.
Is my RV covered in Utah?+
Commercial insurance required. Length caps and high-elevation cold are common failure points — verify your rig fits Hogback 30-ft limit and has winterized tanks/furnace before shoulder bookings.
What does PickRV cost me?+
You keep 100% of the price you set; PickRV adds 15% on top to build the number renters see. Renters pay a transparent 10% service fee at checkout. Stripe at cost.
Payouts?+
Stripe Connect — released after the trip wraps up, then typically 2-5 business days to your bank.
Can I cancel?+
Per your rules. Timed-entry slot failures or early snow at Bryce often qualify under force-majeure for rebook.
Utah state tax on rental income?+
Flat 4.85% on net (tax.utah.gov). Federal Schedule E + minor UT adjustments. Park reservation fees are separate guest-paid costs.
1099-K and records?+
PickRV issues if thresholds met. Keep full depreciation and maintenance logs for Schedule E. Utah has no additional state filing for most hosts.

Pricing for shoulders and timed-entry?+
You control. Shoulders are 35-45% lower; Arches slot weeks command premium. Calculator includes fuel for long loops.
Damage from length or cold?+
Photo + statement within 48h. Hitting a cap or frozen tank is usually owner responsibility unless guest ignored your published rules.
