Minnesota has thousands of lakes, 66 state parks, and eight
national parks for you to enjoy -- as well as cities and
fabulous shopping, including the Mall of America. Perhaps the
best way to see Minnesota whenever and wherever you want is by
RV. But if the cost of owning an RV or driving it from your home
to Minnesota is too much trouble, don't despair. Just rent an RV
when you get to Minnesota!
Minnesota has several RV rental agencies, many in Minneapolis or
St. Paul, all close to the airport. Other rental agencies are in
north- and south-central Minnesota. Some agencies will ferry you
from the airport to your RV for a fee; others provide
fly-and-drive discounts.
The class-C motor home is the popular RV to rent. It can sleep
six to nine people, although most only have enough seatbelts for
six. The motor home has many of the comforts of home including
beds, a toilet and shower, microwave and refrigerator, and
heating and cooling. Most Minnesotan RV rental agencies also
sell home-keeping kits with linens and dishes, so that you don't
need to bring your own.
The peak rental time in Minnesota is between May and September,
so expect more demand for RVs and higher prices. In general, you
get a cheaper per day price the longer you rent an RV.
Before you rent, call rental companies or check out their Web
sites to find a pricing system that works for you. Many
companies charge a day rate and also by the mile. Other agencies
charge a flat day rate. Your car insurance may not cover the RV,
so ask the rental agency if you need insurance and how much it
costs. Also ask about extra fees like a clean-up fee, late fee,
or a security deposit.
