RV Rental in Boston, MA

Boston is a tricky place to own a big vehicle, which is why renting an RV here often means a camper van. The city has three rental outfits, all within a short drive of downtown, and five more just outside. Average rating is a perfect 5.0, though only one company has reviews. I've rented four RVs over the years, including one that smelled like a wet dog, so I know what to check before you drive off.

What's available

Of the three companies listed in Boston, one rents motorhomes and three rent camper vans (one outfit does both). That's good news for city trips: a camper van fits in parking garages and narrow North End streets where a 30-foot motorhome would be a nightmare. Avanti Campervans is the only one with reviews (27 of them, 5.0 average) and the only one offering one-way rentals and insurance. The other two, Campervan and RV Rentals Boston and Enzo's RV Rentals, have no ratings yet, so ask about their cancellation policy and deposit before booking. None of the three deliver to you, so plan to pick up.

Before you book

Ask about mileage limits and generator fees. I once got hit with a surprise generator-hours charge because I ran the AC all weekend without checking the contract. Also confirm the security deposit amount and what insurance covers; Avanti includes insurance, but the others may not. If you're bringing a pet, call ahead about pet rules. And if you want a one-way drop, Avanti is your only option in Boston, but expect a drop fee. Summer and fall foliage weekends book up fast, so reserve early. Kitchen and linen kits are often add-ons, so ask what's included.

Nearby places to camp

With five more rental options nearby, you can compare before committing. The closest public campgrounds are outside the city, so plan on a 30 to 60 minute drive to reach them. Some private campgrounds in the area have full hookups, but none are inside Boston proper. If you're visiting without a tow vehicle, a camper van makes more sense than a motorhome because you can drive it into the city and park in a garage. Just check the height clearance before you enter. For a weekend trip, the North Shore and Cape Cod are popular escapes, but book ahead for summer.
