At El Monte RV, we specialize in helping travelers understand RV rental pricing so they can plan smarter. Whether you’re cruising along the California coast or headed to a major event like the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, we break down how much a weekly RV rental costs, what impacts that cost, and how prices fluctuate by month and season.
Average Weekly RV Rental Costs
Here’s a look at typical weekly rental prices based on RV class:
RV Type | Average Weekly Cost |
Class C (mid-size) | $1,100 – $2,000 |
Class A (luxury) | $1,500 – $3,000+ |
Class B (campervan) | $900 – $1,800 |
Travel Trailer | $600 – $1,200 |
These are base prices. Mileage, insurance, and optional add-ons can raise the total cost.

Demand for RV rentals surges during peak travel seasons and around major events. Some examples where El Monte RV sees increased bookings include:
- Burning Man – Black Rock Desert, Nevada (Late August–Early September)
- Coachella Music Festival – Indio, California (April)
- Daytona 500 – Daytona Beach, Florida (February)

During these high-demand weeks, weekly RV rental prices can jump 20–40% above average, and vehicles book out months in advance.
