Driving Tips

• Interstate speed limits reach 70 mph (113 km/h); many urban areas drop to 55 mph (88 km/h) with active enforcement.
• Florida uses electronic tolling on Turnpike, many bridges and city express lanes; rent a SunPass transponder or use toll-by-plate, which adds fees.
• Heavy afternoon rain can reduce visibility to just a few meters from May to October; turn on headlights and slow down.
• Parking on most public beaches and coastal roads does not allow overnight stays between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM; use official campgrounds instead.
• Alligators, deer and black bears cross rural roads at dawn and dusk; drive at moderate speed and watch the road shoulders.
• Fuel is widely available, but during hurricane evacuations stations on I-75, I-95 and Turnpike may run out; fill up when tank reaches half full during storm watches.

• State parks open reservations 11 months in advance at 8:00 AM Eastern Time; popular coastal parks sell out within minutes.
• Firewood must be heat-treated or bought locally to prevent tree pests; checkpoints may inspect loads.

FAQs

What are the age requirements to rent an RV in the USA?

In the USA, most campervan rental companies require a minimum age between 21 and 25 years old. If you're younger, you might face extra fees or rules. Be sure to confirm the age policy with the rental company you choose.

Just enter your age in our search tool and we'll show you vehicles that fit your criteria.

Can I pick up my RV at the airport?

Many campervan rental companies in the USA are conveniently located at or near major airports. This allows you to easily pick up your campervan right after you land. Some companies even provide shuttle services from the airport to their rental sites.

What kind of license do I need to rent an RV in the USA?

In the USA, you usually just need a standard car driver's license from home to rent a campervan. Foreign licenses are fine if they're in English or come with an official English translation. If not, arrange for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to your regular license.

Are one-way RV rentals available in the USA?

Yes, you can rent a motorhome for a one-way trip in the USA. This means you can collect the motorhome in one city and return it in another. Keep in mind, though, that extra charges might apply for one-way rentals and availability can differ depending on the rental company and location.
