Driving Notes

The maximum rural interstate speed limit is 85 mph / 137 km/h on SH 130; exits are far apart in West Texas so fill up with fuel early.
Toll roads around Austin, Dallas and Houston use the TxTag electronic system; rental companies add admin fees so keep receipts.
Expect strong crosswinds and dust storms west of I-35; slow down if visibility drops.
Border Patrol checkpoints on US 90, US 281 and I-10 will check ID documents even if you never entered Mexico.
Stay in the right lane unless passing on multi-lane highways; police enforce this rule.
Right turn on red lights is legal after a full stop unless a sign says otherwise.

Fuel, Water, Waste

Most Love's and Pilot Flying J travel centres sell fuel and offer paid dump stations plus drinking water.
Any Texas State Park with camping has fresh water taps and usually allows non-guests to dump for a small fee.
Several large Buc-ee's on I-35 and I-10 provide free water fill and paid dump lanes.

Local Tips

Summer heat can exceed 43 °C; run air conditioning and drink extra water.
Hurricane season on the Gulf Coast is June–November; monitor weather forecasts and avoid low coastal roads when storms approach.
Many counties ban fires in dry months; use only contained grills when a ban is active.
Dial 911 for any emergency. For roadside help call Texas Highway Patrol 1-800-525-5555.
Free camping east of I-35 is rare; confirm land ownership before parking overnight.
Rattlesnakes and fire ants are common around campsites; wear closed shoes and check gear before use.

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.
