Frequently Asked Questions!
Do I need a commercial drivers license to operate an recreational vehicle?
Nope! You only need a valid government issued drivers license to drive any type of recreational vehicle. Most rental agencies require renters to be 25+ years old to rent and drive, we fall into that category. There are some rental agencies that allow 21+ to rent a recreational vehicle.
What if my rental has mechanical issues while on the road?
When you embark on your trip of a lifetime with St. Louis RV Rentals, you have complimentary access to our 24/7/365 network of roadside assistance providers. When you've completed your paperwork, we will provide you with that phone number, and make sure to put it in your phone's contacts! This is one of the most frequent questions and concerns we get from our customers! We want you to be safe out there, and the last thing we want is a bad experience being stranded on the side of the road feeling helpless! We also provide the hotline # in the glovebox, and a variety of other locations throughout your motorhome!
What is the minimum age to drive an RV?
Per insurance regulations, we require all drivers to be at least 25+ years old in order to rent and operate one of our motorhomes.
Am I allowed to smoke on the RV?
No, all of our recreational vehicle rentals are smoke-free. You'll have to pull over to the side of the road and exit the motorhome if you need to smoke. If we detect smoking in the RV, you will be fined.
Do you allow one-way RV rentals?
Yes, upon request, we do allow one-way RV rentals. Rates for this service do vary based on distance and time of year in order to return the motorhome to its point of origin here in St. Louis. This will be pre-arranged with your rental agent prior to departing on your trip!
Am I able to leave my personal vehicle on your RV Rental lot?
Yes, as a matter of fact you're actually allocated 2 personal parking spots at our facility when you rent with us! Making it easier for the whole family to pack up in two vehicles, and depart directly from our facility!
Are we able to Rent an RV in the winter?
Yes, you are able to rent one of our motorhomes in the winter! If it's during the winter months, and adventure comes calling you're more than welcome to rent one of our motorhomes. All of our recreational vehicles are winterized in the winter, and in order to dewinterize, you will be charged a fee of $150. That fee will be applied to your overall rental cost. Call us today if you have more questions about this policy!
What additional things to I need to bring for my trip? What items/amenities are included?
All of our RV's come with what was included in the motorhome when it was delivered directly from the factory. You will need to provide your own linens, kitchen items you wish to use, chairs, tables, etc... You're more than welcome to rent those items from us, but we encourage most of our renters to bring their own if they have them! We also are more than welcome to take special requests, at the right price! If you want an inflatable swimming pool to be provided? We can do it, it will just be more cost effective for you to bring your own.
Are the motorhome rentals fully self-contained?
Yes! All of our RV Rentals are 100% self-contained. They are all equipped with onboard generators, kitchens, and functional bathrooms/showers. Our travel trailers are roughly 80% self-contained as you will have to hook up to a power source for electricity.
Am I allowed to watch television while the motorhome is in motion?
The driver is not, but the passengers in the back are more than welcome to! The television as well as satellite system, wi-fi network, DVD player, and streaming services will all work while the RV is in transit!
Am I allowed to tow a vehicle behind my rental?
No, we do not allow vehicle towing behind our RV's and Travel Trailers.
Does St. Louis RV Rentals cover the insurance on the vehicle?
Most personal auto polices that our customers have in place, will cover them for auto liability claims when out on the open road. We would advise you checking with your personal auto agent to confirm. We will need proof of insurance on file before you depart. As far as comprehensive and collision damage to the vehicle, we have small polices that are included in your rental agreement that will be put in place. We also have auto liability included if your personal auto policy doesn't already include coverage.
What time does the RV need to be picked up and dropped off by?
On the day you're scheduled to embark on your trip, you're able to pick up your motorhome as early as 8:00am! You're required to return and drop off your rental no later than 12:00pm on the day of your last rental. For example when you rent from St. Louis RV Rentals for 3 days/ 2 nights from Friday to Sunday. You can pick up your RV on Friday morning as early as 8:00am and must return the vehicle no later and 12:00pm the following Sunday.
Are pets permitted on the motorhome rentals?
Typically all of our motorhomes are pet free... On very seldom occasions we have a motorhome in our fleet that allows for pets to ride along. Call beforehand to see if we have any of those units available! Call our team at (314)-408-5125!
How do I know which campgrounds are accessible to hookup my rental to?
Missouri offers some of the best campgrounds in the continental United States, most of which have RV hookup's! Before you embark on your trip, we can happily point out and direct you to which campsites are the best in our opinion, as well as which ones have accessible hookups! Know before you go!
Where is the best place to dump the waste tanks?
You will find as you get more involved in RV travel that there are actually a lot of places around the country where you can drain both your black and grey tanks for a fee! There is also a good chance you won't be on the road long-enough to fully fill them to the point where you need to dump during your excursion! You're more than welcome to dump at our facility once your trip has been completed!
Is there a minimum RV Rental period?
We require a minimum 2-night rental period. As for how long you can rent a motorhome for us there is no limitations! We've had an individual rent an RV for over a year!
