We are looking to rent an RV for a family trip from Illinois to Phoenix this summer and then drop it off in Phoenix and fly home.
We checked with the major rental companies but they weren't interested in a one way rental at this time.
Another option is to drive it round trip but for logistical reasons if we did that we would need the rental for 22 days instead of only 9 if we did the one way rental. A 22 day rental would run about $5 including round trip mileage.
Then we thought, well, if we are going to drop $5k, maybe we just buy an RV, since we planned to buy one in the next few years anyway.
I'm interested in anyone's experience shares on RV rental, especially options for finding private party rental options. Also, has anyone purchased an RV and put it into one of the rental programs in order to defray some of the costs of ownership?
