Choosing one of these insurance packages is required to book your Outdoorsy trip, as auto or home policies typically don’t cover RV rentals. Packages shown are for trips in the U.S. only.

Rental insurance packages

Drivers must pass a two-step verification process, and each owner must conduct a multi-point inspection, before the start of the rental. Insurance is provided for all bookings processed on the Outdoorsy platform. Insurance is only available to valid, uncancelled bookings.

Roadside Assistance primarily provides mechanical-related services to get your RV back on the road. Renters choosing the Stationary package won’t receive Roadside Assistance as their vehicles will be stationary. Assurant is a partner for liability insurance only. Note that this insurance is void if you move the RV. * Service provided by Coach-Net
