Driving Tips

  • Florida's toll roads and express lanes use the SunPass electronic system. You can buy a disposable SunPass Mini at supermarkets and gas stations or pay by plate with an extra charge.
  • City speed limits are usually 30 mph / 48 km/h. Highway speed limits are 65–70 mph / 105–113 km/h. Police often use radar in construction zones.
  • I-95 express lanes through Miami are separated by barriers. Plan your exits early because missed exits add many miles to your journey.
  • Afternoon rain can flood low streets. Do not drive through standing water deeper than 15 cm / 6 inches.
  • Bridges to the Keys are high enough for any campervan, but strong cross-winds are common on Seven Mile Bridge.
  • Parking meters in Miami Beach accept cards or the ParkMobile app. Large vehicles cannot use city parking garages.

FAQs

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

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.
