Johnson's Motorhome Rentals
Family-run Durham RV rental with 25+ years, Class A and C motorhomes, and a 5.0 rating from four reviews.
Durham gives you two Class C rental companies to pick from, and they are not the same animal. One is a five-star local outfit with four reviews and a delivery option. The other is the national brand with 19 reviews and a 3.9 average. I have rented four RVs in my life, and the lemon taught me more than the good ones did. Read the fine print before you book.
Family-run Durham RV rental with 25+ years, Class A and C motorhomes, and a 5.0 rating from four reviews.
Employee-owned RV rental center in Durham with Standard and Large RVs, mixed reviews on service and vehicle condition.
Johnson's Motorhome Rentals carries a 5.0 rating across 4 reviews and rents motorhomes, travel trailers, Class C and Class A units, with monthly terms available and delivery as a feature. Cruise America RV Rental sits at 3.9 across 19 reviews and sticks to motorhomes and Class C. More reviews usually means more mixed experience, so treat each rating for what it is. I would call both and ask what is actually on the lot for your dates, because a listing and a confirmed reservation are different things. Ask who does the walkthrough and what gets photographed at pickup.
Mileage and generator hours are where budgets quietly break. Ask whether the generator runs on a set number of hours per day and what the overage costs. I once paid a surprise generator-hours fee because nobody mentioned it at pickup. The security deposit gets held on your card, so know the amount and the return timeline. Check insurance: your personal auto policy often does not cover a rental motorhome, and the company's own coverage has limits. Confirm who covers what if something breaks. Kitchen and linen kits are sometimes extra, so ask what comes in the box. For a family trip out toward Jordan Lake or a weekend near Duke, a Class C with sleeping space for everyone makes sense. Book summer and holiday dates early.
There are 2 Class C rental companies listed here. Johnson's Motorhome Rentals and Cruise America RV Rental both offer Class C units. A third option, a travel trailer company, is part of the broader Durham listings but not the Class C count.
The average rating comes out to 4.5 across the two companies. Johnson's Motorhome Rentals holds a 5.0 from 4 reviews, while Cruise America RV Rental sits at 3.9 from 19 reviews. Small review counts swing averages, so weigh both numbers with that in mind.
One company here offers delivery. Delivery can save you a drive to the lot and let you load up at home, but confirm the drop-off window, the delivery fee and who handles setup. Ask whether delivery includes a walkthrough of tanks, hookups and the generator before the driver leaves.
One company lists monthly rentals among its options. Monthly terms can cost less per day than short trips, but read the contract for mileage allowances and cleaning charges. Ask how the security deposit is handled on a long rental and whether you can swap units mid-term if something goes wrong.
