Eight of them run motorhomes, seven have camper vans, and two offer travel trailers. The average rating across the group sits at 4.7. I have rented four RVs myself, so this is written from the driver's seat, not a brochure.

What one-way actually costs you
A one-way rental means the company has to get the vehicle back or reposition it, and that gap shows up in the rate. Ask about the drop fee before you compare nightly prices, because it can change the math on a short trip. California is long, so a Los Angeles pickup with a San Diego drop is a very different charge than dragging a rig across the state. Two of the 13 companies here list unlimited mileage, which matters when the drop point is far from the start. Get the fee and the mileage terms in writing before you book. Deposits are another line item people forget. Confirm what the security deposit is, when it is charged, and how long the hold lasts after you return the vehicle.
Who to call first
TopoTerra has 38 reviews and a 5.0 rating, and it handles motorhomes, camper vans and delivery. Live2RV sits at 4.9 from 63 reviews, runs motorhomes and Class C rigs, and offers unlimited mileage, which is worth asking about for a one-way run. Avanti Campervans rates 5.0 from 77 reviews and 4.9 from 41 on a second listing, and it covers insurance, so ask exactly what that coverage includes. Rv Rentals Way Of Life takes pets and offers delivery and insurance, with 94 reviews at 4.8. Road Bear RV Rentals has the deepest review base at 555 and a 4.6 rating.
Picking up and dropping off
Six of these companies will deliver the RV to you, which saves a drive to a depot on pickup day. Delivery is handy if you are flying into California and want the rig waiting at your hotel or a relative's driveway. For the drop, confirm the exact address and hours before you plan your last day. A return window that closes at noon can cost you a night if you are three hours out. Insurance deserves a real conversation. Ask who covers what if the awning tears or a rock chips the windshield, and whether your personal auto policy or credit card adds anything. On my fourth rental I learned that the cheap add-on did not cover the roof, so read the exclusions.
