Seasonal Pricing Basics
Like flights and hotels, RV rental rates change throughout the year. At El Monte RV, peak season is late spring through summer, shoulder seasons are spring and fall, and off-season is winter, which is usually the most affordable.
Yes, RV rentals are priced differently across peak, shoulder, and off-seasons.
Peak season (late spring through early fall) is the most expensive, shoulder seasons (spring and fall) offer moderate pricing, and winter off-season offers the lowest rates and greater availability.
Yes, major events affect RV rental costs.
Events such as Burning Man in Nevada, Coachella and Stagecoach in California, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico, the Daytona 500 in Florida, and the cross country Race Across America (RAAM) increase demand and push rental rates higher.
Yes, events impact RV rental prices because RVs become part of the event.
During large gatherings, RVs serve as both lodging and transportation. This makes them in high demand, which naturally increases costs.
Yes, you can save money on RV rentals during busy seasons by booking early and traveling off-peak.
