Renting a motorhome in America and living in the motorhome

To Europeans, American motorhomes seem huge. But everything is bigger in America and driving a large vehicle is not so bad. The roads are bigger, so are the campgrounds and supermarket parking lots. Are you going to rent an RV in America? If so, we advise against driving through a big city like San Francisco. Every motorhome or campervan from GoTravelhome in the USA is equipped with a kitchen with at least a gas stove and a refrigerator, sometimes with a freezer. Many RV models also include a microwave in the kitchen. Cooking utensils, cutlery, plates, glasses, hand and tea towels are usually part of a kitchen kit you can rent. Bedding can also be rented as a separate package. We recommend that you bring soft suitcases and bags instead of the "hard cover" suitcases. Soft cases take up less space empty and are easier to store in a closet of the vehicle. Thanks to these advantages, you can confidently rent an RV in America in which you can also live wonderfully.

Preparations for renting a motorhome in America

Traveling in America is very easy - only the distances are very long. Consider Route 66, for example, which totals just under 4000 kilometers. The country is larger in size than Europe and therefore it is necessary to make choices. As a starting point when planning your RV trip in America, we recommend that you definitely do not travel more than 150 to 200 kilometers per day on average. With RV rentals in America, the motorhomes and campervans are usually offered without miles. You should estimate how many miles you will be driving and purchase the required number of packages at the time of booking. Extra miles can be paid for when you return the motorhome, unused miles are non-refundable.

With RV rentals in America, you must take into account the difference of climates in different regions. For example, Florida has a very different climate than New England and California; yet another than Washington State, for example.

Note that most rental companies prohibit a trip through Death Valley in the summer months - it is too hot. If it is allowed then only at your own risk, which means that any towing and other costs are at your own expense.

Important rules and tips for a worry-free journey during your RV trip in America

Good preparation is half the battle. Therefore, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the local traffic rules, safety regulations and restrictions that apply to RV travel in America. We make sure you are aware of everything you need to know about speed limits, alcohol policies and driving in various climates. That way, you can rent an RV in America and go on an adventure with confidence.

What are the traffic rules in America when renting an RV in America?

In America, it is customary to drive on the right and overtake on the left, similar to the situation in the Netherlands. However, speeds and distances are expressed in miles. With 1 mile roughly equivalent to 1.6 kilometers, it is important not to be surprised by the distances. In addition, you may encounter wildlife such as bears, elk, deer and wolves that may suddenly cross the road. A congestion of cars may indicate a "bear jam," where motorists stop to observe a bear. So always be alert and cautious.

Toll roads in America

America has a diversity of toll roads with different systems of toll collection, which do not always communicate with each other. While it is possible to avoid toll roads by setting your navigation system accordingly, this is not always an option. Therefore, check in advance with your car rental company about the method of payment for toll roads.

Traffic and right of way rules in America

Although traffic rules may vary by state, there are general speed zones you can expect:

  • Inside built-up areas: 25-40 mph (40-64 km/h)
  • School zones: 15-20 mph (24-32 km/h)
  • Rural areas: 40-70 mph (64-112 km/h)
  • Highways: 55-75 mph (88-120 km/h)

The speed limit is always clearly indicated by signs. Priority should be given in the following situations:

  • At flashing red lights of a stationary school bus
  • To emergency vehicles with sirens or flashing lights
  • On traffic circles
  • From the right at intersections without traffic lights, if arriving at the same time
  • To ascending vehicles on narrow mountain roads

Parking

Parking rules may vary by state, but in general, cars must be parked on the right side of the road unless it is a one-way street. Be sure not to park within 5 feet of a fire hydrant or near intersections and other important points.

Alcohol and driving

The minimum age for buying and consuming alcohol is 21. There is a maximum permitted alcohol level of 0.8 promille while driving. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is severely punished, as is using a cell phone behind the wheel in most states.

Differences from the Netherlands

Although many rules are similar to those in the Netherlands, there are some exceptions. For example, overtaking on the right is allowed on roads with two or more lanes in the same direction and on one-way roads. Also, road signs differ considerably, so preparation for the most important signs is recommended.

Motorhome rental in America

After arriving from Europe, you are required to stay at least one night in a hotel. Only the next day are you allowed to rent an RV in America. You must stay overnight in campgrounds with your motorhome. In America, there are lots of campsites of all shapes and sizes. In the National Parks/National Forests they are often very simple in terms of facilities, but very nicely located and with very spacious sites in the middle of nature. There are the well-known chains such as KOA campgrounds and private campgrounds. There are almost always showers, washing machines and clothes dryers. Barbecues and a swimming pool are also rarely missing. The average price including electricity is US$25 to US$45 per night. In National Parks/National Forests, a spot costs about US$ 7-15 per night with basic amenities such as toilets and sometimes showers (no electricity).

Booking campsites in America

It is often not necessary to make reservations at campgrounds in the USA. However, in high season and on national holidays it is recommended to reserve a place in advance. In National Parks, spots are very limited and sought after, and in the high season they are crowded. You can book National Parks/Forests campgrounds and the various chains as well as private campgrounds very easily online. If you rent an RV from Cruise America you will receive a 10% discount at any KOA campground in North America.

What driver's licenses do I need to rent an RV in America?

If you are going to rent an RV in the USA then you must always carry a valid, national driver's license as a driver. For the USA it is not mandatory, but advisable, to also have an international driver's license. You can obtain this from the ANWB. Only the international driver's license is not valid, you should always have your Dutch driver's license with you as well. All motorhomes on the GoTravelhome site can be driven with a B license. Sometimes there are additional conditions such as age or you must have held a driver's license for several years.
