RVshare - RV Rentals

First time renting and it was a blast. Renter was very nice and walked me through everything. Texted him when I arrived to my camping location and he responded quickly. Trailer was more than enough for comfort and enjoyment. They supplied all the amenities but we still brought ours. We loved the awning that has built in speakers to enjoy music while sitting outside the trailer. Everything worked flawlessly and made our camping experience very enjoyable. I would definitely rent from Jamie again and will keep him as a favorite when it comes to renting again. Thanks for the wonderful experience of camping and made life so easy and enjoyable to camp in your trailer. Would absolutely recommend to any one that wants to rent a RV to use this one. Can’t go wrong. Easy to tow, comfortable to sleep in and everything works flawlessly.

Love the premise of this site, VRBO for campers. Easy to search by locations and other important filters. Only complaints: had issues with the ID online verification process which required me to teach out to customer support to complete my reservation. Then I missed the emails (they went to spam) indicating I had to complete the next step so it auto-canceled on me, so I had to rebook it. Would be nice to get text alerts too too avoid the spam issue. Next, I keep getting alerts to review the initial walk -thru documentation the day before we were going on our trip, the notification even said that I had until end of day to complete it, and this was the day before we even got the camper, so that had me worried that my reservation would auto-cancel again, luckily it didn’t. I didn’t want to sign off on the doc before even seeing the camper. And lastly, it was a pain to figure out how to leave a review as there wasn’t an option to leave a review, even though our trip showed “completed”, but on another page it said the owner needed to complete inspection form? Had to reach out to customer service again to just be able to leave a review, which shouldn’t be the case. I still love the concept though, just a little annoyed at the glitches.

RVshare is a troubled app. The website by the same name is pretty bad also. I spent some effort for my first attempt to book an RV trailer through RVshare. The first issue is that many owners put low prices on their rentals in order to get them to pop up in the price range of people's search criteria, but then when one tries to book these rentals, one discovers that these owners have added an "owner's fee" equal to half the daily rental fee or more. This sort of bait and switch activity appears on maybe upwards of half the listings. I won't rent from any owner who does this. But the real problems begin after one finds an RV that they want to rent. A number of forms need to be filled out. No problem. A request is sent to the owner to book the desired RV and the owner has 24 hours to accept the renter. Seems OK. But then the app or website reminds the renter to complete the insurance forms. However this cannot be done as the app hangs with a programming bug that requires an email address to be filled in even though there isn't a place to put an email address in on that page. Calls to tech support result in their saying this is normal. Programming errors like this are not normal. The owners in my two attempts to book a rental never approved the booking, so the attempts were both automatically canceled after 24 hours. This delay of two days was a complete waste of my time. I will never attempt to use RVshare again. I successfully booked a rental trailer through a local company here in San Diego County and had a much better experience.
