Rent an RV · 6 min read · Updated October 2026

RV rental, delivered to your campsite.

No tow vehicle and no backing-in. Here's how campsite delivery works, what it costs, and what's still your job.

This guide links to RVezy, an RV rental marketplace. If you book or list through those links, RV Park Camping may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Facts about RVezy below come from its own help center and published pages, checked October 2026. RVezy can change them, so confirm on your quote.

The hardest part of renting an RV for the first time usually isn't the camping. It's the driving: a rig you've never handled, a hitch you've never set, and a backing-in job with an audience. Delivery skips all of it. A local owner brings the RV to the campsite you reserved, levels it, connects what the site offers, walks you through it, and comes back for it when you leave.

Short answer

On RVezy, you filter for hosts who deliver, enter your campsite address to see the fee, and send the site details with your booking request. The host sets the price and the distance they'll travel. You still reserve and pay for the campsite yourself, and you need to be there for both drop-off and pickup.

How delivery works, step by step

This is the process RVezy describes in its help center. Individual hosts handle the details a little differently, so read the listing and ask before you pay.

  1. Filter for deliveryTurn on the delivery filter in RVezy's search. It shows only hosts who will bring the RV to you.
  2. Check your address on the listingEnter the campground address on the listing to see whether you're in range and what the fee is. If you're just outside the range, use the listing's "Ask a question" button. Hosts sometimes stretch it.
  3. Send the site details with your requestInclude the campground, your site number, any gate or entry instructions, and your arrival and departure times. Mention tight roads or limited parking too, so the host can plan the drop.
  4. Say whether you'll move itThe request asks whether you plan to move the RV after it's delivered. Your answer decides which protection plan applies, so answer honestly.
  5. Host confirms, sometimes with an adjusted offerThe host reviews the request, may ask follow-up questions, and can send a special offer that changes the delivery fee.
  6. Drop-off, walkthrough, pickupThe host positions and levels the RV, connects the utilities the site has, explains how everything works, and confirms it's ready. At the end of the trip, they come back to tow it out. You complete the departure and return inspections with them both times.

Book the campsite before the RV

A delivered rental still needs somewhere to sit. The campsite is a separate reservation in your name, at a park that will accept it. Lock that in first, then look for a host who delivers to that address. Doing it the other way round leaves you with an RV booked and nowhere to put it on a sold-out weekend.

Before you commit, ask the park three questions:

  • Can a third party drop off and pick up the RV? Ask what hours the host can get in, and whether the gate needs a code.
  • Does the park have rig rules? Some private parks limit older RVs (often called a "10-year rule") or cap length per site. Give the park the rental's year and length so you're not turned away at check-in.
  • What does the specific site have? "Electric" can mean 20, 30 or 50 amp, and "full hookup" depends on the site, not the park. Match it to what the rental needs. Our 30 vs 50 amp guide explains the difference.

If you're not sure the rig will fit the pad, measure it the way we explain in measuring your RV for a tight campsite, or run the numbers through the site fit checker. Not sure which park to pick at all? Start with how to pick an RV park and state park vs. private RV park.

What delivery costs

RVezy doesn't set one delivery price. Each host sets their own fee and maximum distance. A common setup is a per-mile (or per-kilometre) rate plus a minimum fee, and nearby addresses just pay the minimum. The fee shows on the listing and again throughout the request.

Who can book a delivered rental

Delivery doesn't loosen the renter rules. RVezy's guest FAQ says every booking needs a renter who is at least 25, holds a full, unrestricted license, has a clean driving record, and has a valid credit card. Every booking also gets a background and driving-record check, and RVezy's FAQ says this includes delivered RVs.

Payment goes through RVezy only: Visa, Mastercard, American Express or a Visa debit card. RVezy says it doesn't accept PayPal, e-transfer, cheques or prepaid cards. Don't pay a host any other way. A payment made outside the platform falls outside RVezy's dispute process.

Coverage when the RV stays parked

RVezy has four protection levels: Stationary, Basic, Standard and Premium. When you tell the host you won't move the RV, the stationary option is the one built for that situation. It also comes without the roadside towing the driving plans include, which makes sense: a trailer sitting on a pad isn't going to break down on the interstate.

Deductibles depend on the plan and the rig. RVezy's guest FAQ lists U.S. trailer deductibles of $2,000 under Stationary and Basic, $1,000 under Standard, and $500 under Premium. Its insurance page gives a "from" figure for each plan that doesn't always match the FAQ. Take the number on your own quote as the real one.

Don't move it if you said you wouldn't

If you booked as stationary and then want to tow the trailer to another park, ask the host and RVezy first. Your coverage was chosen on the assumption it stays where it was dropped.

The drop-off walkthrough

The host's walkthrough is the only lesson you'll get, so slow it down and record it on your phone if they don't mind. Make sure you leave knowing how to:

  • Run the slide-outs and awning, and know when to bring them in (wind, rain, before pickup).
  • Switch the fridge and water heater between electric and propane, and find the propane shutoff.
  • Read the tank monitor, and know whether the site has a sewer connection or you're using the park's dump station. Our sewer hose setup guide covers the basics.
  • Reset a tripped breaker or GFCI outlet, and know what the RV can run at once on the site's amperage.
  • Reach the host, and know which problems go to RVezy instead.

RVezy requires an inspection at both ends of the rental, completed by you and the host together. Photograph every side, the roof edge if you can see it, the tires, the interior, and anything already damaged. Those photos protect you when the deposit is settled. For the rest of your first evening, our first-night RV park checklist and the arrival checklist tool pick up where the host leaves off.

When delivery is the right call

Great fit

Base-camp trips

  • One park for the whole stay, with day trips by car
  • National-park gateway towns where sites fill early
  • Families with no tow-rated vehicle
  • First-timers who want to try RV life before buying
Poor fit

Moving trips

  • Multi-stop road trips. You'll want a motorhome or a trailer you tow yourself
  • Remote boondocking spots a host can't safely reach
  • Parks that won't allow third-party drop-off
  • Very short stays where a long-distance fee eats the savings

Planning a moving trip instead? Towable vs. drivable walks through the choice, and your first RV trip without buying an RV covers the rest of the planning.

Questions people ask

Do I need a truck or tow vehicle for a delivered RV rental?

No. With delivery, the host tows or drives the RV to your site and collects it at the end, so you never tow or drive it. You only need a way to get yourself to the campground.

Who books the campsite when an RV is delivered?

You do. The campsite is a separate reservation, paid directly to the park. Book it first, then send the host your site number, gate instructions and arrival time with your request.

How much does RVezy delivery cost?

Each host sets their own fee and range, often a per-mile rate with a minimum charge. The listing shows the fee once you enter the campground address. RVezy's cancellation policy refunds the delivery fee no matter when you cancel.

Do I have to be there for drop-off and pickup?

Yes. RVezy asks renters to be present at delivery to review the setup and complete the inspection, and again at pickup for the final walkthrough.

Can a delivered RV go to a state or national park campground?

Sometimes. It depends on the park's rules, road access and whether the host is willing. Ask the park whether third-party drop-off is allowed and check the site's length limit before you book either reservation.
