Ah, luxury RV rentals. The RVs of our dreams! Owning a luxury RV will probably never be on our list, but we can’t say we haven’t dreamt about spending some time in some RVs that seem to have it all wrapped into one vehicle.
Renting a luxury RV can be costly, but not as costly as owning one, right? Let’s dive into the top luxury RV rentals we could find to have you drooling over. Just make sure you have one foot firmly planted in reality before you make any rash decisions about your current RV setup! 😉
As always, before we get into the rentals themselves, here are a few things to consider before renting a luxurious RV for your next road trip.
Is Renting a Luxury RV Worth It?
You’re probably wondering why anyone would want to rent a luxury RV if you like hanging onto your money like us, which is totally understandable. As a nomadic traveler who has car camped, tent camped, and slept in the bed of a pickup truck a time or two, I would say for us it’s not at the top of our list to rent a luxury RV. But that doesn’t stop us from dreaming about it.
If you’re not sure if renting a luxury RV is worth it, we’ve put together some considerations and hesitations to be aware of to ensure renting a luxury RV is the right choice for you. As with every home on wheels, there are a few things that set these rentals apart from the less expensive RVs and a few things you should double-check before sending off your cash to secure the reservation.

Here are a few things to keep in mind before reserving a luxury RV rental:
Larger deposits are needed: In order to drive away with a luxury RV, you’ll probably have to put down a heftier deposit than most other rentals. Some deposits are over $1,000 per trip, so be sure to keep that in mind before hitting “Reserve.”
Some require your own insurance: Some luxury rentals require that you have your own insurance (trailer or other insurance) in order to rent them. Check with each individual listing to see what is expected of you to have in case the worst happens on the road.
Minimum night stays: Most luxury RVs require you to have them on the road for several nights at a time. It might sound like a fun time to have it for a full weekend, but make sure the deposit and the nightly fee fits your budget!
Pet fees: Make sure you’re doing your due diligence and not skipping out on a hefty pet fee. Most luxury RV rentals don’t allow pets and the ones that do only allow them onboard for a chunk of change.
With all that said, people rent luxury RVs for a reason. It’s still cheaper than what you’ll pay for a luxurious rig on your own and it allows you to see if a luxury vehicle is really worth the price tag before you buy. If you’re used to lounging around in a small to moderate or low to medium priced-RV, it’s always nice to see how the other RVers live from time to time, too. Treat yo self, as they say!

To Rent or Not to Rent Luxury
At the end of the day, renting a luxury RV can be pricey. You definitely pay for what you’re renting though, which can leave you with a little less anxiety and homesickness for your first run with an RV.
For those who want to live on the road and still have the luxuries and amenities of a brick and mortar home, luxury RVs are definitely a good fit for your lifestyle on the road. If you’re not sold on a two-bedroom, two-bath RV, then a luxury RV may not be your style.
The biggest thing to remember is that you know what you need best, not someone else. At the end of the day, if luxury is (or isn’t) your thing, there are plenty of RVs out there that can fit your needs. All you have to do is try them out!
