Possible post-trip fees to be aware of.
Post-trip Fees – Post-trip fees can be added at the discretion of the owner once they have had the opportunity to assess the condition of the RV when returned by the renter. Owners have 72 hours to submit the Return Form after the reservation ends, and you will receive an email notification when the form is submitted. Post-trip fees include overages on mileage or generator hour allowance, expenses such as tolls or traffic violations, damages to the RV, and the additional fees listed below:
- Cleaning Fee – We understand that RVs get dirty out on the road. Returning an RV with a normal amount of dirt is acceptable and will not result in any additional charges. However, if an RV is returned covered in dirt, soot, trash, food, wine stains, etc, and the RV is not cleaned prior to returning it, the owner may choose to charge an additional cleaning fee.
- Dumping Fees – It is the responsibility of the renter for dumping the waste tanks prior to returning the RV. If the tanks are not dumped by the renter, the owner will charge an additional dumping fee that can include the cost of dumping the tanks as well as a charge for the act of dumping the tanks. Fee not to exceed $100.
- Late Fee – If a renter returns the RV after the agreed-upon drop-off time plus a one-hour grace period, the owner may choose to charge a late fee for the reservation. RVs that are returned eight hours or more late without consent from the owner can be charged for an extra rental night.
- Pet Fee – Bringing a pet along should be approved by the owner prior to the start of the reservation. If pets are brought on a reservation without owner consent, or the RV requires additional cleaning/repairs due to the pet, the owner can choose to charge an additional pet fee.
- Refueling Fee – Expectations for refilling propane and gas tanks should be set prior to the start of the trip. If the fuel refill requirements are not met the owner can choose to charge an additional fuel refill fee that can include both the cost of the fuel as well as a charge for the act of refilling the tanks.
- Abandonment Fee – If the RV is not returned to the place of pick up or another location that the owner agreed upon, an abandonment fee may be charged by the owner.
Note: Post-trip charges can vary depending on circumstance. They will be listed on the Return Form. These fees will not be added to the rental if the RV owner has already included them as a pre-booking add-on.
