The shape of the total

Fuel -8¢/gal vs the national average and state-park camping about $38/night — across a typical trip, fuel, camping, and tax commonly add 40–60% on top of the host-set rental.

The Florida money fact

One number worth knowing before you go

Florida state parks book up 11 months ahead in winter. Expect $2/day RV-rental surcharge. Cheaper fuel than national avg.

Tax, by the statute

What Florida tax adds at checkout

Effective combined rate (% components)

Florida RV rentals owe 6% state sales tax (§ 212.05) plus a discretionary county surtax of typically 1% (§ 212.054) — owed to the state, and not added by PickRV at checkout: PickRV holds no Florida certificate of registration (§ 212.18 requires one to collect), so the host remains responsible for this tax. The $2/day rental-car surcharge does NOT apply: Rule 12A-16.002(1)(c)2 expressly excludes RVs with living facilities, travel/camping trailers, and van conversions. A separate $1/day peer-to-peer car-sharing surcharge (§ 212.0606(3)) may apply to drivable RVs booked through a platform — under legal review, not currently collected.

Statute: Fla. Stat. § 212.05 (state sales tax) · Fla. Stat. § 212.054-.055 (discretionary surtax) · Fla. Admin. Code R. 12A-16.002(1)(c)2 ($2/day surcharge does NOT cover RVs with living facilities) · Fla. Stat. § 212.0606(3) ($1/day p2p surcharge — under legal review for drivable RVs)

Florida RV cost — FAQ

How much does it cost to rent an RV in Florida?

Why isn't a nightly price shown for Florida?

Because every rental on PickRV is host-set. Publishing a single "Florida average" would be inventing a number — instead we show the real costs around the rental (fuel, camping, park entry, tax) and let you model your exact rate on the calculator. The rental price you pay is the host's listed all-in price, confirmed at checkout, plus a flat 10% service fee and your state tax — both itemized.

What hidden fees should I watch for on an RV rental in Florida?

The fees competitors bury: included-mileage caps + per-mile overage, generator $/hr after a free block, dump and cleaning fees, a refundable security-deposit hold (a hold, not a cost), one-way drop fees, and propane/pet/extra-driver add-ons. On PickRV each is host-set and shown on the listing before you book — see the Hidden-Fee Decoder on this page.
