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.

As in the rest of the US, free camping is only allowed in designated areas, which can include national parks, state parks, truck stops, or rest stops as well as certain parking lots with permission from the store manager.

Campgrounds are widely available throughout the state, and a stay at a campsite will usually cost around $15–$50 (USD).

There are sites available to suit all vehicle types, from travel trailers up to larger motorhomes.

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.

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.

Yes, a large number of RV rental companies allow for one-way rentals. One-way rentals are not available on all routes and additional fees apply depending on the pick-up and drop-off location.

Our comparison tool will automatically factor rental costs between two locations and show you which vehicles are available on your preferred route.

Most RV rental suppliers restrict access to downtown New York in your rental vehicle. Some of the streets in New York are very narrow, and the heavy volume of traffic makes accidents much more likely.

It is still possible to explore New York, however, since many RV parks are located on the outskirts of the city. Public transportation in New York City is very reliable, allowing you to leave your RV at the park and head into the city centre.

Some popular choices near New York City include Liberty Harbour RV Park, Beaver Pond Campground, and New York City North/Newburgh KOA Holiday Park.
