RVshare Reviews

I am compelled to write this review and to share how greedy RVshare and the owner we dealt with is. We planned a trip to Idaho, then we had to put a stop on the RV and cancel 28 days prior to the vacation due to a Family accident, needless to say we can't go in June. I requested the money back but they did not bend which I think is chicken shit. I will never do this again, almost $4000.00's.

Sharing our experience in the hope it helps a future renter. RUN FAR AWAY, do NOT rent from this deceitful company. We recently rented an RV through RVshare for a family trip. The experience with the owner was fine. It was our first time in an RV and on day 1, my husband accidentally brushed against a side panel at a gas station, causing a minor scratch on one of the side doors. We reported it to the owner and expected to lose our security deposit.

I've been renting out my van on RVshare for a year now. I just listed a new vehicle, a RV, this week and the insurance got approved as of Monday. Last night on Friday I got a reservation request for that new vehicle for the day of. I talked to the renter and approved the reservation, not knowing the RV was blocked from insurance coverage due to needing a document signed that I have never seen. RVshare never emailed me or warned me of this missing document before approving the reservation. I called RVshare immediately for assistance and I could not get the form signed in time for the reservation so I had to cancel the reservation that I made just 15 minutes before and they forced me to pay $165 to cancel the reservation that shouldn’t of been available in the first place. RVshare obviously does not care for the RV owners that use their platform and make them money. I will no longer be renting out my vehicles on RVshare from now on.

RV Share is very sneaky and deceptive and does not factor in or show you the ACTUAL fees and required insurance fees for a parked, not being driven camper that are upwards of $300 for 3 nights of use. We made a reservation, paid the delivery fee and deposit and next thing we knew, we were being charged an additional $600, putting us at $900 for 3 nights on a campsite. The email we received right after our confirmation email said there's additional insurance fees that are required otherwise, our reservation would be canceled.

Complete B.S.!!! We booked on Oct. 25 for a Feb. 2026 trip. This was going to be our first RV experience, and was very much looking forward to. 4 weeks before our trip, we got a message from the RV owner that the camper was damaged and will be out of commission for our dates. Super bummed, but I get it, this is not where I have the issue. RV share provided refunds.....but here is the issue.....they WILL NOT REFUND the screening fee. I completely understand if WE cancelled the reservation we wouldn't get it back. But 'WE' didn't cancel the reservation. If nothing else, the OWNER should absorb the charge. We tried to reason with RV share, but they won't budge. So now I need to find a hotel, on top of the charge from RV share. For $26, they lost a customer for life. So stupid.

The worst! We rented an RV from here for Thanksgiving camping in the mountains and none of the electrical worked, and our kids and us nearly froze in the middle of the night. We had to check into a hotel. We also noticed an Ant problem, none of the TVs worked and none of the receptacles worked.

I'm a 72-year-old great-grandmother. I took delivery and immediately saw that I was unable to get in and out of the raised bed. I returned immediately; however, they charged me full price...$2800. RVShare doesn't care about seniors!

They showed no flexibility and charged me without prior notice. From a $500 rental they took $250, citing a cancellation I made a year earlier when my RV had mechanical issues. I explained the situation but they refused to reconsider. Their high fees and unwillingness to work with customers make me unable to recommend them.

Worst rental experience of my life and I have rented 30 plus times. They bait and switch you. They get all your data, then start telling you there are more expenses and fees, more documents to fill out, more pictures to send. We spent almost 30 hours trying to get it finalized. They already had our credit card and personal data. The cancellation fees are almost the entire cost, so I kept trying to give them what they wanted. You can't use a computer or Android phone to send them data.

Updated on 09/26/2025: I contacted RVshare 3 times about possible fraud, damage or theft of my RV about a renter that reserved my 4 year old 5th Wheel days prior to the rental. They assured me that the renter was properly vetted and to not worry that if any damage or theft occurred while rented it would be covered. My RV was returned completely ruined after it was taken to the Burning Man without my consent or knowledge. What they don't tell you is if the renter does not pay for the overages or the deductible then you (the owner are responsible to pay for it and the overages you just won't get if the renter doesn't want to pay for it.)

Very disappointed - found a rental trailer to use for guests for a week - rental about $700 - BUT THEY ADDED ON insurance I don't need to $674. Travel trailer that the host is delivering, parking in my driveway and leaving it for a week? Outrageous - DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

I had a highly disappointing experience and feel I was clearly scammed by this service. The issue was simply a ripped awning fabric on the trailer I was rented on August 25th to September 01—there was no mechanical damage whatsoever (attached a photo). The fabric itself is relatively inexpensive, retailing for around $100 and easily available on Amazon. Called some repair stores while on my way to return the trailer, and professional repair estimate I received elsewhere was less than $300 in total. Initially, they charged me $603.75 for the repair, which was overpriced but seemed was okay at the time. However, they later increased the price to $929.13 without any explanation and confirmation.

Horrible experience — RVshare insurance is a scam. We rented an RV for Burning Man, paid $500 for cleaning and $1,200 for RVshare insurance, and returned it clean. The next day the owners accused us of ridiculous petty “damages” a missing pan we never used, a tiny chip and cushion scuff, even blaming an air freshener leaking that they had installed. We had photos and video proof, and the only issue we acknowledged upon return was a small scrape from tape used to keep the fridge shut (since it wasn’t working on pickup).

Unsafe RV, Abandoned by RVshare, No Real Support in Emergency. We rented an RV through RVshare for a family trip, and it quickly turned into a nightmare. Within the first hour, we reported severe shaking and tire balance issues to the owner with video documentation. We even stopped at an RV center, where we were told the tires were cupped. Despite our concerns, we pushed forward carefully.

R.V. owners beware!!! This platform will gladly take your money yet they will not give you support when needed in any way. If you choose to do business with them be prepared for hours of hold time on the phone. When the call is finally answered it will be met with a representative that is difficult to understand because they speak English poorly, but wait, then they will put you on hold only to come back with no resolution and then put you on hold again.

If you’re an honest, hardworking person looking to rent an RV, do NOT trust RVShare. This platform completely failed me as a renter even after I provided overwhelming evidence to prove a false damage claim was made against me. The RV owner, Dana Allen, claimed we caused damage to her vehicle. This is a complete lie. My husband, the driver, has 20 years of professional CDL experience, with a spotless record, no accidents, no lost loads, no damage, currently drives hazardous tankers. We treat other people’s property with the highest respect.

Terrible Experience. Never again. Customer service could barely speak English. Lied about why the insurance was Mandatory. The Insurance itself is out of this world expensive. So I cancelled the reservation before the 30 day full refund policy but they still charged a cancellation fee. Asked to speak to a supervisor who could barely speak English as well and offered no help. There’s a reason they have mostly 1 star reviews.

I have made 2 reservations and had them delivered to me. I have NOT pulled them myself. They charge me insurance based on me driving the RV. When I called to dispute they basically said too bad. Not to mention the insurance is out of sight and you do not have the option of supplying your own. My insurance rate was higher than the actual rental. I have heard Outdoorsy does not do this. They have a stationary insurance that is much less. I will be using them next time.

After agreeing to rent an RV, RV Share kept adding on previously undisclosed fees, for insurance, for nonrefundable deposit, for service fees, etc, etc, ad nauseam.. The last straw was when they wanted to charge an additional $12.99 per day to add my wife as an authorized driver. Their approach to this rental was unprofessional, irresponsible, unreasonable, and bordered on the fraudulent. A rental that was quoted at $243 per day, would have actually cost about $500 per day once all of the additional charges were applied. I have cancelled the rental and would recommend that this business be avoided like the plague.

I attempted to rent an RV through RVshare, but after checkout I received an email informing me of several unexpected insurance fees—none of which were clearly disclosed upfront, and there was no way to opt out. I tried contacting customer service immediately, but no one answered. Days later, I finally spoke with someone who clearly had handled this type of complaint many times before. They walked me through the cancellation process—but still kept the “service fee” despite the misleading experience.
