A Guide to Texas RV Rentals
Texas is the second-largest state in the USA. It takes at least
13 hours to drive across it east to west; and at least 17 hours
to travel north to south. So what better way to see it all than
in an RV?
Renting an RV in Texas means you can fly in, rent an RV, drive
to your heart's content and leave. Flying in and out of Texas
saves more time for you to explore the Lone Star State. Many
Texas RV rental agencies also let you travel one-way. Rent your
RV in one city and drop it off in another at the end of your
adventure.
The class-C motor home is the most frequently rented RV. It
comes with beds, a toilet and shower, a microwave and
refrigerator, and heating and air-conditioning. Many also have
extras like a TV and DVD player. Most rental agencies also sell
packages with dishes and linens, so that you don't need to bring
your own. This is especially useful if you fly into Texas.
Texas is divided into seven State Park areas: the panhandle
plains, the prairies and lakes, the piney woods, the gulf cost,
the south Texas plains, the hill country, and the Big Bend State
Parks. The majority of state and national parks are in eastern
Texas, stretching from Dallas south to San Antonio. Pick a
region as your start place and then find a rental agency nearby.
KOA, or Kampgrounds of America, has a list of its preferred
Texas RV rental agencies on its Web site. Winter rates are the
cheapest, starting at around $750 a week for a class-C motor
home. Summer rates may start at slightly under $1000 for a
week's rent. Shop around for the best deal. Make sure to ask
about the pricing. Some rental agencies charge by the day,
others by the mile, and others a combination of both. Also ask
about extras like insurance, cleaning fees, and security
deposits. Enjoy the lone star state!
