in order to drive an RV?
No. You do not need any special endorsement to drive an RV. However,
RVs To Go-Venice requires you
to be at least 25-years of age, have a major credit card, and
carry current full-coverage auto insurance in order to qualify
as a driver.

Driving a motorhome is not really hard - it's just different.
There are a few things you need to be aware of, though. That's
why we've outlined some motor home driving
tips to make things easier and more enjoyable for you. Also,
you are welcome to test drive any RV as many times as you wish.
We want you to feel comfortable with the RV you choose.

5) Are there special terms or conditions
for renting an RV?
To rent an RV, you must be at least 25 years of age, have a major
credit card, carry current full-coverage auto insurance, rent
a minimum of 3 nights and provide us 48 hours advance notice.

6) Do you require a deposit for a reservation
or damage?
Yes, we require both. Please see our price
list for the exact amount.
A reservation deposit will be charged to your credit card at
the time of your reservation. This reservation deposit will be
applied to the total rental fee on the day of pickup.
A damage deposit will be charged to your credit card at the time
of your departure, and varies according to the size of the RV
you are renting. Your damage deposit will be refunded barring
any damages. However, any extensive mileage or generator usage
will be deducted from your damage deposit upon return.
Back to top
7) Are there any additional charges
to anticipate?
In addition to the rental fee, there is a prep fee. Other potential
fees that can incur would be for generator usage, mileage, damage,
gasoline and tax. Please see our price
list for the exact fees.
Typical generator usage averages 1.5 hours per day. A generator
runs the electrical devices in the RV. However, you can minimize
this expense by staying in a campsite that provides electrical
hookups.
Mileage fees can be calculated in house per destination. Consult
one of our Rental Agents for further details.
Naturally, your travels will require you to purchase gas. You
can estimate between 8 to 12 miles per gallon under normal conditions.
Remember, the generator also uses this same gas resource.
To take the hassle out of estimating the price for your trip,
call us. RVs To Go-Venice has
trained rental agents that will be happy to calculate the total
price for your rental.

8) Do I have to run to generator
in order to use the RV?
In order to run the AC appliances you must run the generator
or be plugged in to an electrical supply. This is true for use
of the air conditioner, microwave oven, television, and AC lights.
While you are at a campground you can plug in and operate these
appliances on shore power. Ask your rental agent if you have any
further questions.

9) Can I take my pet in the RV?
We offer one unit for those who wish to take along their pets.
Please be sure to mention you want the pet-friendly RV when making
your reservation.

10) Do you allow smoking in the RV?
No. Under no circumstances can you smoke in the RV - not even
while driving.
Unfortunately, smoke odors quickly absorb into the RV interior
and are extremely difficult to remove. Therefore, we must impose
very stiff penalties for any smoke damage, no matter how minor.
If you want to smoke, we recommend you go outside on the downwind
side of the RV.

11) While traveling, how many people
are allowed to ride in the RV?
The number of people allowed to ride in an RV equals the number
of seat belts in the RV. Typically, this ranges from 5 to 10 people.
Call us and we can help you determine what RV size you need.

12) What items should I pack for my
trip?
RVs To Go-Venice recommends
that you bring disposable plates, cups and utensils. You are also
responsible for bringing linens for the beds. You can bring anything
else you like. You might find our packing
checklist helpful when you are getting ready for your trip.
Back to top
13) Can I leave my car or any other
items (i.e. suitcase) at the rental facility while we are traveling?
We suggest that you pickup your RV with another driver so that
you can return home with your car and the RV. Once home, you can
pack your clothes directly rather than bringing a suitcase to
our rental facility.
If you must leave your car with us, it is entirely at your own
risk, and you will need to make arrangements in advance. If you
bring suitcases and want to store them after you unpack, you'll
need to make arrangements for this in advance too!

14) Can you pick me up and/or
drop me off at the airport?
This service can be arranged for a nominal fee. Please contact
us to make arrangements for this in advance.
Back to top
15) Do you lock your awnings, so that
we cannot use them?
No. However, awnings are one of the most frequently damaged items
due to unpredictable wind conditions. You may use the awning -
just remember that you are responsible for any damage. As an alternative,
you might consider bringing a canopy or staying in an RV park
that provides for shade.
Back to top
16) Can I tow a car or boat behind the
RV?
NO, you cannot tow a boat or car, but you can tow a small trailer.
We allow a maximum tongue weight of up to 200 lbs. and a maximum
gross weight of 2500 lbs. There is an additional charge of $25
per day for towing. Towing is limited to specific RVs, so you
must make arrangements for towing in advance in order to reserve
an RV with a receiver hitch.
Back to top
17) Do you provide bike racks?
Yes. Bike racks are available to be rented that carry up to 4
bikes. The bike rack mounts on the receiver hitch. Thus, towing
would not be available in conjunction with a bike rack rental.
Bike racks rent for $7 per day or $35 per week. We have a limited
supply of these, so be sure to reserve your bike rack when you
rent your RV.
Back to top
18) Do you provide baby car seats?
No, we request that you bring your own.
Back to top
19) Do you provide levelers?
Levelers are not provided in most of the Class A and Class C
RVs.
Back to top
20) Do you provide a ladder so we
can get on the roof?
Ladders are affixed to the units, but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
ARE YOU ALLOWED ON THE ROOF. The ladder use is restricted to our
mechanic and rental technicians for maintenance functions only.
You are not allowed to get up on the roof under any circumstance
due to safety precautions and in order to prevent damage. RV rooftops
are not designed for recreational use, and can be easily damaged
resulting in unwanted costs. Any use of the roof will incur additional
fees to you.
Back to top
21) What if I return the RV on a
date other than the scheduled date?
Your rental RV is due back on the scheduled date prior to 12:00
noon. A fee of $25 per hour will be charged for each hour you
are late. Please call our rental facility if you are going to
be late. If you return earlier than expected, no refunds will
be made. Additionally, no refunds will be made for late pickups
or unused miles.
Back to top
22) What if I need to cancel my RV reservation?
In order to get a full refund of your reservation deposit, you
must cancel your reservation at least 7 business days prior to
your scheduled, pickup date. Otherwise, a portion of your reservation
deposit will be forfeited.
Back to top
23) What happens if I am involved
in an accident or have a breakdown?
RVs To Go-Venice provides an
emergency contact number. This number will be provided to you
in your rental paperwork when you pick up your RV. If you are
involved in an accident please call the authorities first.

24) Do you have additional coverage
to cover accident liability?
