A few things to think about when your calling for prices to rent an RV for your trip. If traveling with the family, friends, business associates or just by yourself, think of the following as you search for that RV to take on that so well planned (or not) getaway trip.

OK, so you got the idea a few years ago, or more recently, to get out of town to visit sites and enjoy the outdoors. In the past you have traveled by plane to exotic destinations, taken the car on the long road trips and stayed at relatives or friends and got to enjoy their company.

NOW IT IS A MOTOR HOME TRIP, LET'S DO IT, YOU SAY!!
So here are normally the steps in getting this trip planned and set up the trip in this sort of order, you will need to decide on:
dates of travel
who is going
how many miles
where to go
what campgrounds to stay in
what to take
what to do
what to see
what's it going to cost (vehicle expense, gas, campground fees, food, activities)
WHERE DO WE GET THE RV FROM (let's get on the net and shop) ****
Here is where we can help you plus all of the above questions also, read below please.
If this is the first time you have rented or even if you have rented a few times here is some advice to ensure that all the above works out the way you have planned and dreamed.

To ensure that you trip is one to remember with great memories instead of I should have please do the following:
(this is from experience since 1985 RV business and since 1970 in retail)
get on your computer and search what works best for you
find the location that meets your requirements
get quotes to rent an RV in writing (nothing verbal)
get the type of vehicle you are getting in writing (or do you get any one they have in stock (make, model, vin #, options)
does the facility have back up plan if something happens to that vehicle (or do they have just one)
do they answer the phone when you call and if they do, are knowledgeable? (will they answer if there is a concern on the road?)
do they follow up in writing what they say
do they have a facility where you may take a look at the RV your renting
are their qualified staff with experience to address all your concerns (insurance, features and service)
has the unit been properly serviced (remember you are taking a road trip in someone else vehicle, did they service it)
is this a personal RV (these individuals do not have business license, is this legal?, what if there is a problem)
if this is a business how long have they been in business, do they have qualified personal
have you visited this business to view the RV, is it clean,, maintained, are they good at what they do?
You need to see the RV you are renting and get enough information on it, the company, the past rental customers, testimonials, do some research because this is your trip, your vacation, make it a great one.
