About Outdoorsy

Outdoorsy is a rental marketplace that lets you rent RVs and trailers by the night. It offers a great selection of rentals, from popup trailers to fifth-wheel campers, that you can rent directly from vehicle owners.

What is Outdoorsy?

Outdoorsy is a recreational vehicle and trailer rental marketplace that lets travelers rent vehicles directly from owners in their community or wherever they’re traveling. Because the vehicles are owned by community members all over the U.S., all options offer unique rental experiences. Options include trailers, toy haulers, fifth-wheels, motorhomes and Class A, B and C RVs in a variety of styles, including retro, vintage and traditional.

How does Outdoorsy work?

With Outdoorsy, you have the option to rent a camper or vehicle in your town and drive elsewhere or to arrive at your destination with a vehicle already set up and ready for you. The option you choose dictates the types of vehicles you’ll find when you search. Once you choose your camper and pickup destination, you’ll select your dates. After you finish traveling, simply return the RV to its owner in the same condition you received it.

All rentals include 24/7 roadside assistance and $1 million in insurance for the renter, owner and vehicle. Some rentals have unlimited mileage and are pet friendly.

Outdoorsy fees

In addition to the rental cost, which averages from $81 to $209 per night, Outdoorsy also charges a few other fees. Each rental includes a service fee of at least $10 a day. Some RV owners require a security deposit. If a renter returns an RV late, they’ll be charged a late fee of $30 plus the hourly rental rate. Additional fees may be added in case of damage, excessive dirt or lost items.

    BEWARE, BEWARE!! So very disappointed. We rented this RV and it was horrible. The facts: We picked it up filthy, carpet grossly dirty, underinflated tires with a nail in one, dirty floor, dishes all had to be washed, NO heat that worked in RV, NO hot water, a COMPLETELY broken dump hose, could not dump wastewater our entire trip. Windshield wipers had to be replace by us for $105 with no refund from owner or company! They were hanging and broken. We could not drive safely in the rain.

    We submitted a claim and all photos to Outdoorsy. We contacted the owner first who blamed us for his RV not being road-ready. He was rude and arrogant. It should have NEVER been rented in this condition. The owner is a crook, deceives others into renting this RV with false advertising, and Outdoorsy company does not care. We would never, ever rent from them again and recommend you do not either. What a horrible experience. This is a DISHONEST company.

    Outdoorsy and host are not up front with their their customers. I paid in full to rent an RV out in the future, then I get a message that it’s been canceled. Oh sorry. So most likely what happened is they found somebody that would rent it for a longer period of time, so they decided to cancel my reservation in the future. I would never use this company again, and I haven’t seen my refund of 1200+ dollars. In the future, I wouldn’t use them if I were you.

      A complete rip off. The advertised rental rate was $85 and I booked for 3 days (2 nights) but was charged $426 instead of $255 for "service fees". I then had to cancel for a family emergency with nearly 3 weeks notice. The promised "Refund" was only $304. A $122 lesson in what a rip off this company is...

      Adam, our host, was very helpful and courteous. He returned texts and emails promptly. Everything was as stated. The camper was clean and the bed was so comfy! Will definitely rent again.

      I have never in my entire existence of living ever been involved with such a slow, glitchy app and website. My service was perfect and every time I went to check out it blanked out and went back to home screen. After trying this umpteen times I decided it wasn't worth it and decided to go rent from another company instead. If I could rate zero stars I would. I had heard good things about Outdoorsy And was excited about trying it but have never been involved in a worst experience trying to book something.

      I flew clear to California to And was gonna enjoy a good getaway by going to Joshua Tree National Park. Guess what I find when I get to California nothing waiting for me, and the website and app not letting me enter my info or be involved in any way with it. I am very disappointed and would definitely recommend desk company to no one. They have a lot of improvement to do to site and customer service. I hope you find someone that work with you better than this place

      We rented a trailer from a host through Outdoorsy to go dry camping for Thanksgiving. We picked up the trailer and it was FILTHY! Urine and feces on the toilet, the shower was filled with dirt, the kitchen sink was dirty, floors weren’t swept and the surfaces weren’t wiped off. It was very apparent the trailer was not cleaned after the guest before us and the trailer owner “apologized” for how dirty it was upon pick up. The water pump stopped working after 1 day and the battery was not staying charged. Luckily we rented the hosts generator at an additional cost of $100 for the weekend.

      I filed a claim with Outdoorsy to get my prep fee of $100 back and at least half of my money refunded for the trip since nothing worked and it was disgusting. We had a nasty picture of the water filter but didn’t have pictures of the unsanitary toilet or the dead battery so Outdoorsy favored the host by not granting us a partial refund due to “lack of evidence”. They were not helpful whatsoever! I was able to get my $100 prep fee back but due to “lack of evidence” I was not granted $400 back for half of the trip. They clearly take sides with hosts that don’t keep their trailers up to code with cleanliness and basic standards of basic trailer inspections that they are renting to the public.

      Do not rent from Outdoorsy because clearly they don’t care about their renters they only care about the money coming in. The customer is always right? Psh not in this case. I’m not one to complain or write reviews but we were in the desert and the only thing we were able to use was the bed, the toilet for 1 day, wasn’t able to shower, the $100 generator rental to keep the lights and heater on. We used water bottles to flush the toilet, wash hands and dishes. Attached is the listing we used! Do not rent from them!

      Outdoorsy is a terrible company that does not look out for the renter’s interest. Severe rain cause issues with my RV rental, and they fully reimbursed the owner but refused to cover my costs as the renter, which were out of my control. The tire blew out as a result of the wheel being completely shot, and it was an absolute nightmare to deal with Outdoorsy and their third party services to get actual help on the ground. Renters beware - this is not a reputable company, and if anything goes wrong, you will have to pay additional amounts while the owner is fully reimbursed.

      Outdoorsy claims to "secure a deposit", however they will only "secure" it for 7 days from the time of the credit card hold. However, if the rental or claim goes beyond that 7 day period, then they won't cover it. They never told me this. In fact, when the renter brought back the unit late, not dumped, excessively dirty, damaged, and missing jacks, I placed a claim and was told the 7 days would be pushed out to 28 days so I could assess damage. I assessed damages and then was told they could no longer secure the deposit. This is fraudulent and I hope we can ban together to hold Outdoorsy responsible for breach of contract, negligence, and misrepresentation.

      Be careful when renting out your RV or travel trailer coverage with them. It's horrible. A customer torn off my awning and it took Outdoorsy to create claim like about 2 months then. After 2 years and a half they send someone to fix it that was not even a licensed contractor. He brought the wrong awning then did not want to change it. Outdoorsy wouldn’t want to help out. Please stay away from the business unless you want your RV or travel trailer not to get fix the right way.

      The insurance they offer is a SCAM. They do not cover damage to the vehicle incurred by a renter even though the renter paid for it. They want to replace one wheel on my vehicle with something that doesn't match in style or SIZE because only one was damaged and will not pay to repair the suspension that was damaged even after receiving before and after photos, a shop estimate and numerous phone calls. Horrible customer service!!
