RV Rental Colorado

In the US, dispersed (free) camping is permitted on some public lands such as BLM and National Forest areas, but within cities like Denver camping is generally limited to designated campgrounds, RV parks, or parking lots with permission from the store manager.

Denver is home to multiple RV parks. Sites are available for all vehicle types, from travel trailers and truck RVs to larger RVs.

Some popular choices in the Denver area include Indian Paintbrush Campground, Cherry Creek State Park Campground, and Flying Saucer RV Park.

All drivers must have a current and full driver’s licence to rent a vehicle. Foreign licences are generally acceptable if they are in English or accompanied by an accredited English translation, otherwise, an International Driving Permit is required.

In addition to your driver’s licence, you will often be required to show your passport at the time of pick up.

Some companies may require an IDP or official English translation depending on the language of your licence. For example, Road Bear requires an international driver's licence translation if the original licence doesn't have an English translation, and Britz recommends an international driver's licence for translation purposes.

This depends on the company. Several suppliers will allow you to travel to Canada in your rental vehicle, including Road Bear, El Monte, Cruise America, Escape Rentals, Campervan North America and Travellers Autobarn (Canada entry fee applies).

Please contact support for information on other suppliers. You must comply with visa and customs requirements at all times.

Most suppliers in the US require the main driver to be 21 years of age or older. A full driving licence is required.

Some companies require the driver to be 25 or older. Our comparison tool will show you which vehicles are available for your age bracket.

A stay at an RV park will usually cost around $25–$80 (USD) per night.

The cost of campgrounds has risen in recent years due to the popularity of RV vacations in the US.

The majority of RV rental suppliers in the US do not include unlimited miles as a standard rental inclusion.

In most cases, miles are charged per mile or via prepaid mileage packs (for example, 100-mile packs), and additional fees will be incurred if you exceed what you’ve purchased/allowed. Refund rules vary by supplier—some refund unused estimated mileage deposits, while others do not refund unused prepaid miles. Some suppliers do include unlimited miles as standard.

A wide variety of RVs are available in the US, from smaller station wagons up to large RVs. Some of the common types include:

• Class A: (21-45 ft) The biggest and most expensive, can be hard to maneuver if you are new to driving RVs but often comes equipped with additional luxuries.

Class A RVs are built on either a vehicle chassis, commercial truck chassis, or a commercial bus chassis, and run on either diesel or gas, depending on the type of engine.

Usually, Class A vehicles are fully loaded with all amenities and a large living space.

• Class B: (17-19 ft) Small and affordable, easier to drive or maneuver. Class B vehicles are often known as conversion vans and are built on a smaller chassis than the Class A.

Some Class B vehicles may include a washroom or freshwater tanks but not always. Class B vehicles usually have basic cooking equipment, folding beds, and limited storage space.

Class B vehicles are great for short term getaways.

• Class C: (20-33 ft) Medium-sized, moderate storage space, and a few extra luxuries.

Class C vehicles are a smaller version of the Class A RV. They are built on a truck or van cutaway chassis and operate on a gas-powered engine.

The Class C RV generally has sleeping quarters above the cab and more sleeping space in the back. Some Class Cs also have a slide-out option that helps increase the living space when the RV is parked.

Class C vehicles come equipped with a good amount of facilities including a self-contained washroom, refrigerator, heating or AC and cooking facilities.

Class C vehicles are very versatile and are great for both short or long term getaways.
