Triple A RV Rental
Bakersfield trailer rental with delivery, a 4.9 rating, and reviewers who call the campers clean and new.
Bakersfield sits at the south end of the Central Valley, and it works as a base for trips up into the Sierra or west toward the coast. The rental scene here is small and leans toward travel trailers, so if you want a motorhome or camper van, plan to look a little wider. I've rented four RVs over the years, including one that was a genuine lemon, so these details matter to me.

Taft RV rental with 12 stocked trailers, 20ft tow-behinds to 43ft 5th wheels, and delivery.
Three rental outfits show up in Bakersfield, and two of the three deal in travel trailers. That tells you a lot about the local market: people tow out to the lake or the mountains rather than driving a big motorhome through town. No motorhomes and no camper vans are listed, and none of these folks offer one-way drop, so you're bringing the rig back where you got it. Check the tow rating on your vehicle before you commit to a trailer. A half-ton pickup handles many of these fine, but the spec sheet is what counts. If your daily driver isn't set up for towing, ask about delivery, because one of the three will bring the trailer to you.
Triple A RV Rental carries the best reputation, a 4.9 average across 13 reviews, and offers delivery. Small review counts swing easily, so read the recent ones yourself rather than trusting the star average alone. Cruise America RV Rental, at 4.3 from 20 reviews, is the better-known brand name and has the most feedback to sift through. A & B RV Rentals sits at 1.0 from a single review, which is almost no information at all. My lemon came from a place with glowing stars and two old reviews. Ask when the trailer was last serviced, get photos of the interior, and walk the whole thing before you sign. Ten minutes of inspection beats a roadside surprise.
The nightly rate is never the whole bill. Expect a security deposit, which usually comes back after a clean return, and insurance that may or may not cover the trailer depending on your auto policy. Call your insurer before you book. Kitchen and linen kits often cost extra, and generator hours are usually metered or capped, which is how I once got a surprise fee on a motorhome trip. Summer and holiday weekends fill up early around here, so reserve well ahead if your dates are fixed. Confirm the cancellation policy in writing and ask whether delivery includes setup and leveling. California mileage adds up fast on a long trip, so clarify the mileage terms up front.
There are three rental companies listed here, with one more option nearby. That is a small pool, so it pays to call ahead and confirm availability for your dates before you build a whole trip around one rig.
Two of the three companies offer travel trailers. No motorhomes or camper vans are listed among them, so if you have your heart set on a drivable RV, expect to expand your search to nearby towns.
Yes. One of the three companies, Triple A RV Rental, offers delivery. Ask what the delivery radius covers and whether setup and leveling are included, since those details decide whether it is worth the fee.
None of the companies listed here advertise one-way drop, so plan on returning the trailer where you picked it up. If a one-way trip is central to your plans, ask each company directly before booking, since policies can change.
