What is RVshare?

RVshare is a market of peer-to-peer recreational vehicle rentals. The site has a range of options to select from, whether you want to drive the RV like a van or tow it behind you.

  • Class A motorhomes: Class A motorhomes are the largest and most expensive recreational vehicles. These bus-shaped recreational vehicles can be up to 45 feet long and accommodate several people. Class A RVs typically include a secondary sleeping space and come with plenty of amenities.
  • Class C motorhomes: Similar to Class A motorhomes but smaller, easier to drive and less expensive. Class C motorhomes offer a compromise between Class A and B.
  • Camper vans: Also called Class B motorhomes, camper vans look like an oversized van. Most class B motorhomes can accommodate two people.
  • Travel Trailers: Travel trailers come in a range of sizes and allow you to use a car to visit locations near your RV site. You can tow a travel trailer with a truck or SUV.
  • Fifth wheels: Fifth wheels resemble a mobile home. They have an overbed hitch, full kitchen and bedroom. You can tow a fifth wheel with a full-sized pickup truck.

How does RVshare work?

RVshare uses Instant Book to connect owners and renters.

  • For RV renters: If you want to rent an RV, start by browsing through your options. You can filter searches by price, features, reviews and more. Once you find an RV you like, you can reserve it instantly through Instant Book.
  • For RV owners: If you already own an RV and want to rent it, you can submit a listing with photos of the interior and exterior and a written description. You can also control how much lead time you have between requests and rental dates and set minimum or maximum trip lengths.

    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.

    I’ve rented RVs, homes, and more over the years, and this was by far the strangest and least transparent experience I’ve had. I ended up canceling and losing money, but I felt compelled to leave a review so others are aware. There are better, more honest local companies out there—do yourself a favor and avoid RVshare.

      The driver verification is very intrusive. Not only do you send them a copy of your license but then they want a selfie with Front left side & right side profile. They access you phone or computer. They also ask for a voice recording. Really! Plus you agree to a background check. Nice RVs but do you want the intrusiveness?

      I was an owner and rented my RV out through RVShare. I had a booking where I gave explicit instructions to protect the rig's plumbing during freezing temperatures. They ignored all instructions which resulted in severe damage to my plumbing. This renter opted for RVShare's "waiver" in lieu of a security deposit, which provides up to $1500 in "coverage" for a nominal fee. I provided complete proof and documentation demonstrating clear causation, yet they denied the "claim," as if this were some big insurance claim. It wasn't. It was a matter of $500 which would have been covered by a security deposit, but they push guests to go this route and then completely screw the owners over. Do not list your RV here. Outdoorsy is a wonderful alternative where I have not had any of these experiences.

      We rented from RVShare and the back wheels of the RV came off while driving on the highway! All 8 wheel studs were completely broken off. We were left stranded for over 7 hours. RVShare's customer service and roadside gave us the runaround, at one point said we would have to pay an additional $2k to tow it, and we were left to find a place to fix it. After having to rent a car to continue our trip, we are now left with all of the expenses and didn't even get the RV for the days we rented it for. RVShare has been terrible in trying to get some money back and has not shown care about how our family was in danger.

      We rented an RV for 2 weeks; daily rate was about $170 but with taxes, insurance, fees etc, the total was $4,225. We had mechanical issues after 7 days that the owner admitted had been happening for 6 months. RV Share only agreed to refund me for three days ($1,100) as we weren't able to return the RV when it stopped working as we were about 1000 miles from home. I disputed the charges with Chase (credit card company) and they did give me credit for half the RV share fees.

      We rented an RV and faced numerous issues, yet were unfairly charged $1,387 for damages we did not cause even after paying $347 in insurance. Booking & Pickup: On April 15, 2024, we contacted Nedra Woods, the RV owner, to rent the RV for 3 days. We negotiated early pickup and late drop-off for $100 each, and finalized the booking on April 19. On May 1, the owner informed us that the RV had a damaged door that couldn't be fixed in time. The door could NOT be closed from the INSIDE. She offered a $200 discount, which we accepted due to our travel plans with friends. Pics attached.

      Condition of RV: Upon pickup, the RV was dirty and had several damages. We documented the dirt in the bedroom and on the couch, and the exterior damages. At the campground, we found the awning inoperable due to duct tape. Despite owner's assurance that the awning was functional (!), the tape prevented it from moving and removing the tape revealed the broken frame, making it unsafe in the wind. We never left it unattended or open overnight contrary to the baseless claims from the owner. Pics attached.

      Safety Hazards: The rear left luggage compartment couldn't be locked and opened while we were on the road, requiring us to tape it shut. The exterior light and some power sockets were non-functional, leaving us reliant on the awning's LED lights. Pics attached. Incident with Rear Window: While parked, my sister tried to open the rear window, which immediately shattered without force. We cleaned the area and taped the shades to secure the RV, storing the window frames in a luggage compartment. Pics and video attached show that it couldn't have been hit by a tree, as owner baselessly claimed. Despite comprehensive evidence (photos, videos, and comments), RVShare unfairly charged us $1,387. This charge is unjustified as we did not cause the damages listed. We demand a fair review and resolution of this matter with full refund for this upsetting, aggravating and frustrating experience.

      DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! They charge huge fees for insurance and you don't know this until after the fact. A 3 day $125 rental cost me $836. The equipment ending up not being suitable for the site and even though I had just rented it a couple days before they would not return my money! Even the delivery charge??? Back and forth run around between owner and company. What a joke. Rent from a local company. State Parks have reputable companies. I wish I knew that first.

      I am writing to formally file a complaint against RVShare concerning a highly distressing experience with their RV rental service, which resulted in significant financial loss and inconvenience. This complaint highlights severe service deficiencies and a worrying lack of support that potential customers should be aware of.

      Original Trip Details:
      Dates: April 4, 2024, through April 10, 2024
      Pick-up Location: Webster, TX

      Destination: Burnet, TX

      Shortly after picking up the RV and barely an HOUR into our journey, we encountered severe mechanical failures. The cab filled with smoke, accompanied by a strong burning plastic odor emanating from the rear near the tires. We immediately pulled over in Waller, TX, and contacted RVShare’s 24/7 roadside assistance. Despite the urgency, we faced lengthy holds and inadequate service, ultimately being informed that they could only tow the RV but not repair it roadside nor send anyone out to assess the situation further to make the proper call for repair.

      The promised towing took over two hours to initiate, far surpassing the 90-minute confirmed ETA provided by RVShare, and only after repeated calls did we connect with the tow truck driver, who informed us that he was on-call all day at his home and never received a call. This delay caused us to miss our campground check-in, forcing us to seek last-minute hotel accommodations and alternate transportation, doubling our expenses on the busiest weekend Texas has seen for the Eclipse. We were graciously assisted by the tow truck driver and RV service shop owner, who kindly transported us and our luggage to the nearest hotel at 11pm due to the unavailability of Uber or Lyft services on our area.

      Customer Support and Refund Issues: The next day, April 5th, 2024, attempting to cancel the booking through RVShare's website only redirected me to message the RV owner directly. Though apologetic and understanding, the owner directed us back to RVShare for refunds. When contacting RVShare's customer support, I was informed that only the RV owner could issue refunds and that our prepaid insurance and RVShare’s service fees were non-refundable. Contradictorily, the RV owner received different information, being told that cancellation could only occur with our consent and verification, and that no refunds would be issued except for the unused insurance days. Despite lengthy hold times and promises of escalation, I was told they would have a supervisor call me back immediately because they were experiencing “technical issues” with their call transferring.

      We received no follow-up calls or emails to confirm cancellation or address our grievances whatsoever. As of today, Friday, April 12th, 2024, I am returned home from an exhausting and disappointing trip and I am taking the time to thoroughly write out my grievances after attempting to make the best out of my situation over the weekend to warn others and attempt to recoup the costs for the worst customer experience I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with..

      Financial Impact:
      Total Rental Cost: $2,694.25
      RV Rental: $1,646.00 for 6 nights
      Service Fee: $162.95
      Insurance: $806.30

      Additional Driver Fee: $79.00

      This situation not only caused significant financial strain but also considerable stress and disappointment, effectively ruining our planned vacation. The lack of accountability from RVShare and inadequate customer support systems are alarming and unacceptable. I urge the BBB to investigate these practices to prevent future customers from similar experiences. Additionally, I am considering further actions with the state Attorney General and involving my credit card company to dispute the charges due to the failure to receive the advertised service. Thank you for addressing this grievance. I am available for further details if required.

      RVshare ruined our trip. We were canceled on less than a week before our trip to the Solar Eclipse. I received a $150 to use on a trip before June. What a joke. We are out over $1000 and our trip was a bust. This was our worst fear using RvShare. Good luck if you use this service. You will need it.
