Renting
a Motorhome
How does it work?
RV Gold provides a first-Class rental
service for the rental of privately owned motor homes here in the Northwest.
When you rent a motorhome, you will be renting from the individual owner
of a motor home. RV Gold will help you and the owner with the coordination,
insurance, and paperwork. RV
Gold will also assist you in selecting a motor home that suits your
needs.
 Once you have decided that you
would like to rent a motorhome and know approximately when you plan
to rent, we will go to work and take care of all of the coordination. RV Gold will work with you and the owner
to make the arrangement as mutually beneficial for both parties as possible.
This may include a credit check or a driving report. If you wish to
reserve a motorhome RV Gold will require a $500 security. Your deposit
is fully refundable if the motorhome is returned clean and undamaged
and the fuel tank is full. All of our rates include 100 free miles per
day during the winter months and 500 miles per week during the summer
(June through September).
Why should
I rent a motorhome rather than stay at a hotel or motel?
Traveling
in a motorhome allows you to drive in comfort with all facilities on
board.  The full kitchen allows the passenger to serve up beverages and
snacks while enjoying the beautiful scenery that the great Northwest
offers (and it is no secret that the Northwest offers some of the most
beautiful scenery in the world). If you are feeling tired or see a view
or attraction that you would like to stop at and enjoy, you can do it!
Get refreshed and
go on your way. There are many motorhome facilities available to stop
at the end of a day.... state parks, KOA parks, and many others. You
can plan your trip ahead or make your reservations along the way. When
you travel in an motorhome there is no packing or unpacking.... everything
is there in its place just like home. No early checkout time... stay
wherever you like as long as you like. Get back on the road at your
convenience. The freedom offered in an motorhome while traveling and
vacationing is wonderful... it is an experience not to miss. If you
have never vacationed in a motor home, you are in store for a treat!
What is
in the Motorhome?
 All of the RVs/motorhomes that
we offer are equipped with a full kitchen, microwave oven, generator,
air conditioner and furnace. Some are equipped with televisions and
VCRs. Kitchen and Linen Kits, which includes linens for the bedroom
and bathroom, cookware, dishes, utensils, and cleaning supplies - everything
needed to live comfortably in the motor home - are also available.
What are
the advantages of renting from RV Gold verses a rental lot?
First,
you will be renting your motorhome from an individual owner that takes
great pride in the ownership of their motorhome, will they and RV Gold
will offer you the kind of individual attention that a major RV rental
chain might not be capable or willing to provide. Second, we understand
that your “on the road” adventure is a top priority and we will do our
best to make it a memorable, exciting and hassle free experience.
Do I need a special
drivers license to drive a motor home?
No, just a valid license from your state or an international license
if you reside outside of the United States.
Is Insurance
Included with the motorhome?
In most cases yes. The rental fee provides a $2500 deductible collision
insurance policy. You will be
required to “bind” the motorhome on to your personal auto insurance
policy (Most policies cover whatever you are driving without additional
cost to you). If this is a problem, or if you wish to “buy-down” the
deductible to $500 then RV Gold offers a Supplemental Liability Insurance
that can be purchased for $12.50 per day.
If you are from outside the United States, or if your auto insurance
company will not provide you with a “binder” for the motorhome, then
you will be required to purchase the Supplemental Liability Insurance.
What happens
if we have mechanical problems while on our trip?
First off, we are very selective in which motorhome we will accept into
our fleet. None of our motorhomes
are more than 3-4 years old, so the chassis will still be covered under
the manufacturer warranty. We
have a very low rate of mechanical problems for this reason. Also keep
in mind that our owners have a large investment in their motor homes
as well as a great amount of pride. The motorhomes we rent are not only
leased to customers such as yourself but are enjoyed by the owners themselves.
So like you, they do not want mechanical problems to spoil a good time
either. However, in the unlikely event a mechanical problem does occur
the owner will want it fixed. RV
Gold and the owner will work with you in getting the problem taken care
of and you back on the road as soon as possible.
How do I get
from the airport to the motorhome?
RV Gold can provide round trip airport transportation to the Portland
or SeaTac airports for an additional fee.
Just book your flight and let us know the time and flight, and
when you land, you'll be out on the road in no time.
How early
should we reserve an motorhome?
It is
a good idea to reserve the unit of your choice as soon as you know when
you plan to take your trip. While we often have several motorhomes in
our fleet, to be assured of getting exactly the motorhome of your choice
you will want to book as early as possible. We add motorhome to our
fleet often, but if you wait till the last minute the motorhomes available
may not be exactly the one you prefer.
What does it
cost?
Compared to the cost you will incur taking the traditional vacation,
once you figure in the price of the hotel or motel, dining and tips,
and car rental (even if you use your own car, there is a cost!), the
cost is comparative and usually a lot less. Rental rates range from
$150 a day in the Winter (October through May), or based on a weekly
rate to as high as $1350 a week during our peak season (June through
September) for the most luxurious rental we offer. When you take into
consideration the added benefits an motorhome can provide, such as ample
room for a whole family of 6, the freedom to see it all, the comforts
of home while enjoying the many wonderful attractions the Northwest
has to offer on your terms, it is quite a bargain.
Is there
information available on different points of interest, campgrounds etc.?
RV Gold and the RV owners will be as helpful as possible in providing
information concerning the different points of interest in our part
of the country.
