Advanced RV Rental Agreement

This agreement constitutes a contract between the person(s) named on the contract and

Advanced RV Rental

; CHILDREN

Advanced RV Rental and Renter agree as follows:

1. RV SLEEPING CAPACITY:

Class A Winnebago RV - 6 people; 32' Jayco Travel Trailer - 5 people; 30' Puma Travel Trailer - 7 People; 26' Jayco Travel Trailer - 8 People

You certify that you agree to and understand the limitations placed on the number of persons permitted to occupy the Rental, and unless prior written approval has been granted by Advanced RV Rental, you agree to abide by such limitations. Above Renter is at least 25 years of age and will be an occupant of the unit during the entire reserved period.

2. PICKING UP YOUR RENTAL: Renter will need at least 45 minutes to check-out on the first day of the reservation. This allows a full orientation of all aspects of the unit you have selected. Pick-Up is based on scheduling and availability. Pick-Up times are scheduled on a first come first serve basis. We can not guarantee that your preferred time will be available. Earlier pickup times may be accommodated as a courtesy only. All pickups are scheduled and by appointment only. If appointment time is missed, the pick-up time can be reschedule for the next available opening.

3. RETURNING YOUR RENTAL: Rentals are due back by 5:00 p.m. on your scheduled day back. Late returns, without prior approval will result in additional night charge. Renters will need time to check the Rental back in, so please allow 30 minutes or longer. While we do a complete walk-through of the Rental upon return, we have a 10-day "post rental" detailed inspection that is completed to ensure there are no issues with the Rental following your time period. After we have completely checked in the Rental, we will mail (within 14 business days) your FULL deposit refund (less any adjustments for damages, if applicable). Late returns are accommodated as a courtesy only. Our goal is to make sure the next renter has a properly prepared and cleaned Rental. Lost rental income due to late returns will be the renters responsibility. If Renter chooses to allow Advanced RV Rental to clean and empty the black and gray holding tanks, a $35 fee will be subtracted from the deposit. Due to the use of propane in all units for heat, stove and hot water needs, a $10 flat fee will be added to unit rental price.

4. PAYMENT POLICY: A reservation/damage deposit of $500 is required to hold your reservation during a non-holiday week. Rentals during a holiday and event weeks require full payment at the time of reservation. Payments may be made by PayPal, MasterCard, Visa or Debit Card. Deposits made by Personal Check, Money Order, Traveler’s Checks, Certified Check and Cashier’s Check must be received within 14 days of booking. No personal checks will be accepted at Check-In.

5. CANCELLATION POLICY: The $500 deposit is forfeited for any cancellation, with no refunds, 30 days prior to check-in. Additionally, no refunds will be given for cancellations of reservations during a holiday and event weeks for early check-outs or no-shows. No Refunds will be given for cancellation or interruption that occurs due to inclement weather.

6. RENTAL INSURANCE: Rental insurance must be on any unit at all times. If the Renters insurance company does not cover the unit, Advanced RV Rental's third party insurance company can be used. The reservation deposit of $500 is to ensure the rental is guaranteed the funds needed be used toward any insurance deductibles, damages, lost items and/or lost income from a damaged unit. If the rental is returned without said damages, the FULL $500 will be returned to renter within 14 business days.

The Security Deposit, whether by cash or held on credit card is provided as security against damage to the Rental, theft, late check-out and violation of any renter’s agreement contained in this Agreement. An inspection is done after each check-out for any damage done to real or personal property. The renter(s) shall be liable and solely responsible for any property damage, accident, injury to any person or loss sustained by any person or arising out of or in any way related to renter(s) use of the premises or the items of personal property provided by Advanced RV Rental hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Advance RV Rental harmless from any and all claims, including those of third parties, arising out of or in any way related to renter(s) use of premises or items provided therein. Renter(s) assumes the risk of injury or other losses relating to any recreational activities and will hold Advanced RV Rental harmless with respect thereto. Renter(s) agrees to indemnify Advanced RV Rental for any damages to the dwelling, grounds, furnishings, and household items. In the event that damage result from a renter(s) occupancy, Advanced RV Rental is authorized to utilize the credit card on file or the cash security deposit to cover said damages or additional cleaning costs, including the charging or billing of any additional amounts that exceed the deposit held. Advanced RV Rental is not responsible for articles left on premises. There will be a $10.00 charge in addition to shipping charges for handling the return of any articles found by housekeeping. Lost & Found will be held for 30 Days. After such time all items will be donated to charity.

7. CLEANING: Each property will be inspected, sanitized and cleaned after your departure. We ask that the unit be returned in the same general condition that you received it. If a significant cleaning is required, appropriate charges will be deducted from your deposit at the rate of $35 per hour. Please be sure to empty the holding tanks before the unit is brought back. If Renter would rather not empty, Advanced RV Rental will empty for the Renter at an additional $35 charge.

8. NO PETS OR SMOKING ARE ALLOWED: Since many people have allergies and it is difficult to remove the odors and allergens associated with both pets and smoke, we must STRICTLY ENFORCE this policy. If evidence of pets on site or evidence of smoking inside the Renal is found, Advanced RV Rental reserves the right to charge $200.00 to treat the property for fleas and/or allergens. In addition, any damage caused by pets or smoking materials will be charged to renters damage deposit or credit card on file.

9. WHAT WE SUPPLY: Included in your reservation, Advanced RV Rental supplies the Rental with clean sheets and all your kitchen/bathroom item needs. EACH ITEM TAKEN FROM THE UNIT WILL RESULT IN A CHARGE OF $20 EACH TO YOUR CREDIT CARD. Since we provide the normal amount of toilet paper, paper towels, sheets, bath towels, dishes and other items to get you started, it may be necessary that you would need to bring additional items for your personal use during your visit.

10. MILEAGE POLICY: (For Winnebago Only) If the reservation is 1-6 days, the renter is allotted 100 miles per night at no charge. If the reservation is 7 or more days, the renter is allotted 150 miles per night at no charge. Any additional miles will be charged $.35 per mile. This charge will be assessed and paid at the Rentals return.

11. RENTERS LIABILITY: Renter agrees to accept liability for any damages caused to the Rental by renter or renters guests, including, but not limited to, damage to the Rental in any way or damage to any appliances and/or equipment furnished. If damages are in excess of the security deposit being held, renter agrees to reimburse Advanced RV Rental for costs incurred to repair/replace damaged items.

12. GENERATOR RENTAL: Advanced RV Rental offers additional generators for rent. If a generator is added to the rental, the Renter assumes all responsibility for the generator unit. Advanced RV Rental does not assume any liability, loss or damage to the generator unit. Renter will be responsible for the cost of the generator unit given any loss or damage.

13. HOLD HARMLESS: Advanced RV Rental does not assume any liability for loss, damage or injury to persons and/or their personal property. Neither do we accept liability for any inconvenience arising from any temporary defects or stoppage in supply of water, gas, electricity or plumbing. Nor will Advanced RV Rental accept liability for any loss or damage caused by weather conditions, natural disasters, or other reasons beyond our/its control.

14. AWNING: Due to the weather changing in a matter of seconds, the awning can be used at the renters risk. The renter is liable for any and all damages caused to and by the awning.

15. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The undersigned, for himself/herself, his/her heirs, assignors, executors, and administrators, fully releases and discharges Advanced RV Rental, from any and all claims, demands and causes of action by reason of any injury or whatever nature which has or have occurred, or may occur to the undersigned, or any of his/her guests as a result of, or in connection with the occupancy of the premises and agrees to hold Advanced RV Rental free and harmless of any claim or suit arising therein.

What the RV Basic Rental Agreement Is and When It Applies

The RV Basic Rental Agreement is a concise written contract that sets the rental terms between an owner (lender) and a renter for a recreational vehicle. It typically records parties' names, RV description, rental period, fees, security deposit, permitted use, mileage or generator limits, maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, and signatures. This template is suitable for short-term and seasonal rentals and can be adapted for daily, weekly, or monthly terms. A clear written agreement reduces disputes by documenting expectations, financial obligations, and damage or cleaning procedures before possession transfers.

Why a Written RV Rental Agreement Matters

A written RV Basic Rental Agreement clarifies payment terms, liability, and return conditions, lowering dispute risk and supporting insurance or collection claims while improving recordkeeping for taxes and regulatory compliance.

Why a Written RV Rental Agreement Matters

Who Typically Completes an RV Basic Rental Agreement

Common users include individual owners, rental businesses, and property managers who handle recreational vehicle bookings and need standard terms.

  • Individual owners renting an RV short-term to vacationers or friends with simple liability and deposit terms.
  • Small rental companies processing bookings, payments, and damage waivers across multiple units and seasonal turnover.
  • Property managers coordinating RV storage and rental as an ancillary service, tracking mileage and maintenance obligations.

Use the agreement whenever possession transfers, when insurance coverage depends on a written contract, or before accepting a deposit or payment.

Common Preparation Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using vague damage language such as 'reasonable wear' without objective standards or a documented pre-rental condition report with photos.
  • Failing to verify renter insurance or capture a copy of the policy, which can force the owner to cover damage or liability costs.
  • Not specifying return condition or mileage limits, creating disputes over cleaning fees, excess miles, or generator run-time.

Practical Examples of Using the RV Basic Rental Agreement

Two brief scenarios illustrate how the agreement is used by small owners and rental operators in real situations.

Vacation Rental Owner

A private owner rents seasonally to tourists, documents condition with photos

  • Uses a $500 refundable deposit to cover damage risks
  • Clear rules on mileage and generator hours prevented a disputed charge after return and supported an insurance claim.

Small Fleet Operator

A local rental company standardizes terms across five RVs

  • Integrates eSign, ID uploads, and payment capture
  • The template reduced booking turnaround time and ensured consistent insurance verification before handoff.

Practical Tips for Accurate and Efficient Completion

Adopt consistent procedures to reduce errors and improve enforceability when using the RV Basic Rental Agreement.

Use a Photo Checklist
Document pre-rental condition with timestamped photos and attach them to the agreement to reduce disputes and support damage claims.
Require Insurance Proof
Collect and store insurer name and policy number before handoff; verify coverage meets stated minimums to avoid liability gaps.
Standardize Payment Terms
State amounts, due dates, and refund timing for deposits and cleaning fees to minimize chargeback and refund disputes.
Retain Signed Records
Keep executed agreements and related photos for the retention period recommended, and ensure secure storage with access controls.
