How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Campervan for a Week?

While planning a weeklong trip where you’ll rent a camper van (also known as a class B RV), you’ll want to budget appropriately for potential costs. Placing a booking request is the first step in the rental process and can include selecting insurance protection plans. At Escape Camper Vans, we want to help you make an educated decision before you choose a long term camper van rental. We’ve compiled this quick guide to detail average costs for RV rental in the U.S. and how to manage related expenses to maximize your trip.

How Much Do RV Rental Prices Cost to Rent a Camper Van in the US?

Prices for campervan rentals in the USA can vary depending on your state, the time of year, and the size of the vehicle you rent. You’ll typically see daily RV rental prices in the industry range from $75 to $150. If you were to rent one for a week, you could expect it to cost between $500 to $1,000. The rental period can significantly impact the total cost, with many rental companies offering discounts for weekly and monthly rates.

On top of the daily rental fee, it’s also industry standard to charge mileage fees for RV rentals. You’ll usually see these range from $0.30-0.40 cents per mile you drive. This fee structure helps base prices on how much you drive the vehicle, so you won’t have to pay more if you put fewer miles on it.

How the Type of Camper Van Impacts Costs

The camper van, or RV type, can also play a factor. Larger vehicles like our Del Mar model at Escape will cost more per day since their maintenance requirements are more extensive. More compact options like our Santa Cruz camper van typically have a lower daily cost. Rental costs for different campervans, including Class A, B, and C, can vary significantly based on size and amenities.

You might also see luxury campervans for rent with premium features like a full bathroom and shower. However, daily and weekly rental expenses will also be much higher. Most people prefer options like our vans at Escape since they’re more affordable. Plus, intricate features, like compact bathroom plumbing, can break down more easily, putting a damper on your vacation.

How Much Do Fuel Costs Impact the Cost to Fill Up an RV?

Another aspect you’ll want to account for when calculating costs is gas prices, fuel costs, and RV fuel efficiency.

The average class B RV has a 25-gallon tank. As of writing this article, the average price for regular gasoline across the U.S. is around $3.60 per gallon. So, it would cost about $90 to fill up a full 25-gallon tank on a class B camper van. The average camper van gets about 15.5 MPG, so a gas tank will last you for about 387 miles.

RV fill-up costs can vary depending on the type of fuel your vehicle takes. Some camper vans run on diesel fuel, and while diesel RVs typically get better gas mileage, diesel costs more per gallon than regular gasoline. All our vehicles at Escape run on regular gasoline, which most people usually prefer.

When budgeting for a campervan rental, it’s crucial to consider the total cost, including fuel costs, to avoid surprises and ensure a transparent rental experience.

What Is a Class B Motorhome? 

Class B motorhomes are the smallest type of recreational vehicle (RV) available, making them a popular choice for those looking to rent an RV. They’re usually called camper vans since they are oversized vehicles built on van chassis.

Since they’re more compact, most people find them much easier to drive than larger RV types like class A and C models. Most people also prefer compact options with fewer features because they’re easier to use and less hassle to maintain during vacation. Class B motorhomes like the ones we offer at Escape are also much more affordable to rent than larger RVs.

When renting a Class B motorhome, choosing a reputable RV rental company is important to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
