How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Chicago?

The cost of renting an RV in Chicago can vary widely depending on the type of RV, the rental company, location, duration of the rental period, and the time of year. Besides the daily rental rate, you might also need to factor in additional expenses such as mileage (many rentals are not unlimited), generator usage (on larger RVs), insurance options, taxes/fees, and possibly a security deposit.

In Chicago, Class B/camper van rentals are commonly around $200–$310+ per night/day depending on season and vehicle, while cheaper towable RV options can be lower. Popular Chicago-area pickup options include Escape Camper Vans (Mavericks camper van), plus larger motorhome rentals from companies like Cruise America and El Monte RV (availability and pricing vary by dates).

For the most accurate pricing, check current rates using our search tool. Remember to factor in extra costs like fuel, campground fees, and optional add-ons (e.g., linens/kitchen kits, extra equipment, additional mileage).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is free camping allowed in the US?

Boondocking is not universally allowed across the USA; it is typically permitted in designated areas and on many US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands, subject to local rules.

Both the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management care for millions of acres of land where boondocking is allowed.

Many retailers and casinos may also allow you to camp for a night in their parking lot with permission from the owner.

There are also truck stops and rest stops where you can park for a night, though rest-area rules vary by state and some prohibit overnight stays.

Does my motorhome come with unlimited mileage?

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.

Can I travel from the US to Canada in my rental RV?

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.

Are there any restrictions on where I can take my RV in the US?

Most rental companies only allow their vehicles to be driven on paved roads.

In addition, note the following restrictions regarding specific areas:

Mexico - Travel to Mexico is generally prohibited in rental vehicles; some suppliers (such as El Monte) may allow it under certain conditions and with additional insurance.
Death Valley - Restrictions can vary between suppliers. Some suppliers restrict travel during the hottest months of the year. Check with your rental supplier for full details.
New York City/Downtown Manhattan - Some rental suppliers restrict travel in or through Manhattan (and sometimes parts of NYC). Check your rental agreement for full details.
Canada - RVs are generally allowed; however, travel to certain locations may be restricted during colder seasons.

If you take your vehicle where it is not permitted, you will be liable for all damages incurred, and an additional fine may be imposed.

Check your rental agreement for any further restrictions regarding your RV rental.

Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
