Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to stay at a campsite or caravan park?

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

The cost of campsites has risen in recent years due to the popularity of motorhome holidays in the USA.

Does my motorhome come with unlimited mileage?

The majority of campervan hire suppliers in the US do not include unlimited miles as a standard hire 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.

Check our comparison tool for details.

Is motorhome hire available at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport?

While there are no rentals available directly at the terminal at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, most rental companies are just a short distance away.

Many campervan rental companies offer a complimentary shuttle along with your rental.

Where can I camp in Seattle? Is free camping allowed?

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

Seattle is home to many campgrounds, most of which are a short distance from Seattle city centre. A night at an RV park will usually cost between $12-50 (USD).

Some popular choices include Lake Pleasant RV Park, KOA Campground and the Fay Bainbridge Park.

Can I travel from the US to Canada in my hired motorhome?

This depends on the company. Several suppliers will allow you to travel to Canada in your hire 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.

Can I rent a campervan in the US if I’m under 21?

Most campervan rental suppliers in the USA require the main driver to be 21 years of age or older. A full driver’s 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.
