RV rental questions, answered.

FamRV rentals start from $249 per night for a 24 ft Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Class C motorhome. The nightly rate already includes commercial rental liability insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance, a kitchen kit, bedding and linens, and 200 miles per night. Rates vary by season, holidays and events such as Burning Man; your quote shows the exact total with taxes and any optional add-ons before you pay anything.

No. A standard driver's license is all you need — no commercial or special class. The Sprinter chassis drives like a large van, not a bus, and most first-time RVers feel comfortable within the first hour.

The renter and every driver must be at least 25 years old with a valid, unexpired driver's license. Every driver must be listed on the rental agreement before they drive.

Send a booking request with your dates on this site or call us. We confirm availability the same day and send your quote. Nothing is charged until we confirm; a deposit then locks in your dates, and the balance is due before pick-up as stated in your confirmation.

The minimum rental is 2 nights. 1-night rentals are available on request. Some holiday and festival weeks (like Burning Man) may have longer minimums — your quote always shows the minimum for your dates.

Cancellation is flexible. Cancel 7 or more days before pick-up for a full refund of rental charges. Inside 7 days we'll work with you to move your dates or give you a credit toward a future trip. Full details are in our Terms of Service.

Yes — a refundable security deposit is required for every rental, and the amount is shown in your confirmation. It is returned after the RV is checked in, normally within 14 days, minus any documented charges such as fuel, extra miles or damage.

Yes — one-way rentals are available on request for an additional charge. Rentals start at our Los Angeles location in Northridge; tell us your drop-off city when you book and we'll quote it.

Pick-up and return are at 8344 Reseda Blvd, Northridge, CA 91324, in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, close to the 405 and 118 freeways. A 20-minute walkthrough covers driving, the slide-out, generator, water, power and tanks before you leave.

Yes. Northridge is typically 15–30 minutes from Burbank, Encino, Woodland Hills, Calabasas and Santa Clarita, and about 30–50 minutes from Santa Monica, Hollywood, Pasadena and Downtown LA, depending on traffic. It also puts you on the right side of town for trips north on the 5 and 101.

Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is usually about 20–25 minutes away, Van Nuys is closer still, and LAX is about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. A rideshare from either airport is the easiest option.

Secure gated parking at our location is available for a small additional charge. Add it when you book and leave your car with us for the length of your rental.

Every RV leaves fully prepped: full diesel, full propane, fresh water, empty black and gray tanks, fully checked and clean. Return it on time with full diesel and propane, tanks emptied and trash removed. Short on time? Add our post-trip tank dumping or diesel/propane refill service and we'll handle it.

Popular add-ons include secure gated parking for your car, post-trip tank dumping, diesel and/or propane refill, early pick-up or late drop-off, Starlink internet, bike racks and additional storage. Need something else? Just ask — we'll do our best.

Starlink satellite internet is available to rent as an add-on — handy for remote campsites and working on the road. Otherwise, your phone's hotspot works wherever you have cell coverage.

Yes. A bike rack is available as an add-on — tell us how many bikes when you book.

Often, yes. Early pick-up and late drop-off are available as add-ons, subject to the schedule around your dates. Ask when you book.

The Coachmen Prism has a slide-out living area with a U-shaped leather dinette, a rear bed, a cab-over bunk and a dinette that converts to a bed, a full kitchen (gas range with oven, microwave, two-door refrigerator, sink), a bathroom with toilet, sink and hot shower, ducted A/C and a furnace, an onboard generator, a retractable awning, two TVs, and a Mercedes-Benz cockpit with touchscreen and cruise control.

Up to 6 people: 2 in the rear bed, 1–2 in the cab-over bunk (reached by a ladder) and 1–2 on the dinette, which converts to a bed. Every RV in our fleet has this same layout. Bedding and linens are made up before you arrive.

Yes. The kitchen has a gas range with oven, a microwave, a two-door refrigerator and a sink, plus a kitchen kit with the basics you need to cook. Bring your groceries and you're set.

Yes — a private bathroom with a toilet, sink and hot shower. You'll learn how to use and empty the tanks during the walkthrough.

Yes. The cab has the Sprinter's dash A/C while driving, and the living area has ducted roof A/C and a furnace. When parked, the roof A/C runs on the onboard generator or on campground electric hookups.

It's 24 ft long on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis — one of the easiest motorhomes to drive. It fits standard campsites and most parking lots across a few spaces. Watch your height under drive-throughs, overhangs and branches.

Yes. The onboard generator powers the roof A/C, microwave and outlets when you're camping without hookups. When you're plugged into campground power, you don't need it.

Yes. With the generator, fresh-water tank, holding tanks and propane for cooking and heat, you can comfortably camp off-grid for a few days. How long depends on your water and tank use; we'll show you how to check levels.

Usually, yes. Most state and national park campgrounds set generator hours (commonly daytime and early evening only), and some sites ban generators entirely. Check your campground's rules before you go.

Plug the RV's shore-power cord into the campsite pedestal and connect the drinking-water hose to the city-water inlet. The power cord and water hose are kept on board, and the walkthrough shows each step.

Diesel. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis runs on diesel only — never put gasoline in it. It also uses DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) through a separate filler. We check DEF before every trip, fill it to max, and keep a spare jug on board, so you'll rarely need to think about it.

Sprinter-based Class C motorhomes typically get around 14–18 mpg, depending on speed, wind, terrain and A/C use — much better than a typical gas Class C RV.

Yes — the RV leaves with full diesel and propane, so return it full. Prefer not to stop on the way back? Add our refill service and we'll top up diesel and/or propane for you.

Propane fuels the gas stove and oven and the furnace. Every trip starts with a full propane tank.

200 miles per night are included, totaled across your whole trip — a 5-night rental includes 1000 miles. Planning a longer haul? Ask about additional miles when you book.

Yes. Commercial rental liability insurance is included in every nightly rate for approved drivers — it is never an upsell at the counter.

Often not. Many personal auto policies and credit-card benefits exclude motorhomes. Your FamRV rental already includes liability coverage; check with your insurer before relying on your own policy for damage to the RV.

You're responsible for damage to the RV up to a deductible. When you book, you choose a protection tier that lowers that deductible. Every tier is explained in plain English before you pay.

Common exclusions include overhead or clearance damage, awning and slide-out damage from improper use, tires and wheels, interior damage, and anything caused by a prohibited use or unlisted driver. The full list is in your rental agreement and our Terms of Service.

Yes, if they're approved and listed on the rental agreement. Every driver must be 25 or older with a valid driver's license. Unlisted drivers aren't covered.

Yes. 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every rental for mechanical problems. Help caused by user error — like a lock-out or running out of fuel — may be charged.

Get somewhere safe, then call roadside assistance and us at (818) 925-1555. We'll work to repair it or, where possible, arrange a replacement. If the RV can't be fixed through no fault of yours, we refund the nights lost.

Make sure everyone is safe, call 911 if anyone is hurt, file a police report, take photos, and call us at (818) 925-1555 as soon as it's safe — always within 24 hours. Don't admit fault or agree to anything with other drivers.

No — FamRV is a strictly pet-free fleet. It keeps every RV clean and allergy-friendly for the next guest.

No. Smoking and vaping of any kind are not allowed inside the RV.

Yes — FamRV welcomes Burning Man. Your RV gets playa prep before you leave, and the post-burn dust clean is on us. Burn-week dates book out early, so request them as soon as you can.

Yes. We welcome festival rentals — Burning Man, Coachella, Stagecoach, EDC, Lightning in a Bottle and more. Check your festival's RV or camping pass rules, and book early: festival weekends are our busiest dates.

No. Stay on paved or maintained gravel roads — no beaches, sand, dry lake beds, trails or water crossings.

Not without our written consent. Rentals are for travel within the continental United States.

Popular RV-friendly spots within about two hours include Leo Carrillo State Park and Malibu Beach RV Park on the coast, Dockweiler Beach RV Park near LAX, Point Mugu State Park, and El Capitan State Beach near Santa Barbara. Book state parks on ReserveCalifornia and national parks on Recreation.gov — summer weekends fill up months ahead.

It's best not to. Many parts of LA restrict overnight parking for oversized vehicles, and sleeping in vehicles is restricted in many areas. Plan to stay at campgrounds or RV parks.
