Make Money By Renting Out Your RV

RVezy

RVEzy is by far the best if you are in Canada and is quickly gaining popularity in the US.  They make the process as easy as possible and have in-house customer service and insurance.  So, when you call for help, you get a real live person, sitting in an office in Canada, complete with a Canadian accent.

Outdoorsy

​​I like Outdoorsy because it is super intuitive to use and you don’t have to commit to a big business venture. You could try renting out your RV once and see how it goes. This is how I got started, and how I became convinced that the effort of renting out my RV is totally worth the reward.

Tips To Kickstart Your Business

Some people find that renting out their personal RV is so profitable that they decide to add one or two more RVs to their fleet. The business is easily scalable and doesn’t require an expensive storefront to run. You just have to have the space to park your RV when it’s home! Click here to read more tips to get started.

Recently, RVezy actually reached out to me, knowing that I was renting on the other platforms and writing about it. I had a full video call with Matt and he spent over an hour just explaining how RVezy works.

So I have to stop right there. Did you see that? Something is definitely different here. He spent an hour personally answering all my questions. Try calling and getting a real person on the line at most customer service, much less spending an hour on a video call!

All Types of RVs

RV is the term for a Recreational Vehicle, which is a catch-all for campers, motorhomes, and travel trailers. A motorhome is a drivable RV that is either class A, B, or C. While the towable RVs are called travel trailers and fifth wheels. Read this guide to know the difference between each.
