How the one-way drop fee works
A one-way drop fee covers the host's cost to bring the rig back to its home base. Each host sets their own — you'll see the exact amount on the rig's listing and at checkout before you pay, on top of the nightly rate and tax. No platform-set or hidden charges.

FAQ — One-way rentals
How much is the drop fee from Denver to Durango?
Each host sets their own one-way drop fee to cover relocating the rig back to its home base (a same-state move). The exact amount is shown on the rig's listing and again at checkout before you book — there is no platform-set or hidden fee.
Can I extend the trip beyond Durango?
Often yes — many hosts allow an onward drop in a different city for an adjusted drop fee, and a round trip back to Denver usually carries no drop fee at all. The host's listing shows which drop-off points they accept.
Which categories support one-way Denver → Durango?
Today: motorhomes (RV) + travel-trailers (towables). Boats (return-to-water-body only) and off-road (trailhead-only) join the one-way catalog in a later release.
What if I damage the rig before drop-off?
PickRV is not an insurer and does not sell or offer coverage. Renters arrange their own coverage; confirm your personal auto or RV policy covers rentals for the full corridor before pickup. Pre-trip walkthrough at Denver pickup is mandatory.
