I have rented four RVs over the years, including one that should have stayed in the lot, so I read listings closely before booking. Here is what I found.

Who rents camper vans here

Campervan and RV Rentals San Diego is camper van only, rated 5.0 across 11 reviews. Rv Rentals Way of Life is smaller with 8 reviews, also 5.0, and it allows pets and includes a kitchen. Stress Free RVs carries the most feedback at 103 reviews with a 4.3 rating. Read the reviews for fees, not just stars. Surprise charges are the thing that burned me once.
Delivery and airport pickup
Four of the six companies deliver the van to you, which matters if you live in a neighborhood without room to park a second vehicle. Stress Free RVs also lists airport service, useful if you fly in. Delivery usually carries a fee and a time window, so confirm both before you book. Two companies offer one-way rentals if you plan to end the trip somewhere else, but drop fees vary a lot by distance. Ask about that in writing. My one-way rental cost more than the daily rate suggested, and I only found out at pickup.
What to check before you book
Camper vans sleep fewer people than motorhomes, so match the layout to your group. Ask about the kitchen and linen kits, since some vans include cookware and bedding and some charge extra. Confirm the pet policy if you travel with a dog. Insurance and the security deposit are the big variables: know what your own auto policy covers and what the rental's coverage adds. Generators draw hourly fees on many rigs, and running one past the included hours adds up. In summer and around holidays, book well ahead.
