A bit more costly, but well worth it. Picked up in Orlando, FL drove to NY and then Las Vegas, NV. Quality RVs, flexible scheduling, great support and easy pickup/drip off. Had to extend an extra day towards the end, no issue. Will be using El Monte again.

I booked through a 3rd party provider only weeks before we departed.
I got quotes from four different companies.
I called Cruise America directly from Australia.
I did this because when we travelled around the USA in our own RV 10+ years ago, they seemed to be the most popular on the road.
The Cruise America agent was so uninterested, and when I said I had a price from a 3rd party provider that was better than his, he couldn't get off the phone quick enough.
The Australian exchange rate is very weak against the USD!
Hiring an RV in the USA when you're located in another country is quite daunting.
You're basically driving around in a house. You have a sewer system, hot water, shower, bedrooms and an engine to move it.
We had a couple of issues whilst on the road: the shower mixer looked like it was going to detach from the wall, and the stove took a special technique to light (which our 16-year-old mastered).
The mixer didn't stop us from showering you just get on with it.
The reviews for all the hire companies were shocking. For this reason, I didn't pre-purchase miles as I saw they were non-refundable and the savings were minuscule. If we broke down and ended up in hotels like some reviewers of other companies had said, we would be out of pocket for the miles.
The check-out process was easy.
Get the agent to start and open everything.
Start the stove, start the generator, roll out the awning, take a photo of the fuel tank and a photo of the LPG tank (ours wasn't full).
I advised the agent when I returned, and they charged us a nominal fee for what we had used, no biggie.
The check-in process at Sante Fe Springs, CA would be better if you could drop all your suitcases, etc in the pre-departure area instead of in front of the boom gates.
Thanks, El Monte RV Santa Fe Springs.

It was so easy to rent from this location. Very helpful staff. Location was close to my home.
Class C RV was easy to drive. And loved the the extra room with the slide outs. Awning was a plus. And as I camped at a campground with electrical and water, hooking up was easy.

Well Done El Monte RV!
The RV was available on time and the check out and then the check in upon return was easy. Do book your pick up time as soon as you can so you have the best options available. Registering online ahead of time saved a lot of time. The RV was just perfect for our weekend "camping" trip. Staff is terrific-they hire well!
