Cruise America operates 130+ locations across the United States and Canada, including major cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, Orlando, New York, Seattle, and Chicago. Most stations are close to major airports or on arterial roads. Through CampervanPlanet you can book round trips from 40+ Cruise America rental centers. One-way rentals are coming soon.

Cruise America offers four main Class C motorhome sizes: the Compact (sleeps 2-3), Compact Plus (sleeps 3-4), the Standard C25 (sleeps up to 5, their most popular model), and the Large (sleeps up to 7, ideal for families). All vehicles include a bathroom with shower, a kitchenette with fridge, stove and microwave, and a generator for off-grid camping.

Cruise America rotates its fleet regularly and most vehicles are between 1 and 5 years old. The fleet is built on Ford E-450 and similar chassis. While not brand-new, the vehicles are well-maintained and go through a thorough cleaning and mechanical inspection before every rental. Cruise America also sells older fleet units at their 17 sales centers across the country.

Yes. Cruise America allows travel between the USA and Canada on most rentals. Cross-border one-way drop-offs between the USA and Canada are not offered, so the RV goes back to the country where you rented it. Travel into Mexico is not permitted. If you plan a cross-border trip, make sure to mention it at booking so the correct insurance and documentation can be arranged.

The minimum age to rent a Cruise America RV is 21 years old. All drivers must hold a valid driver's licence. A standard car licence (no special RV or commercial licence) is sufficient for all Cruise America vehicles since they are all under 26,000 lbs (11,790 kg). Additional drivers can be added at no extra charge as long as they meet the age and licence requirements.

Every Cruise America rental includes basic liability insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance, and a kitchen with fridge, stove and microwave (cookware and utensils come in the optional vehicle kit). Bedding/linen kits, a personal kit (towels, dishes), and a vehicle convenience kit (table, chairs, broom) are optional add-ons. Mileage is typically charged separately, packages range from limited daily miles to unlimited mileage options depending on the season and location.

Not through CampervanPlanet. Cruise America's international rates we offer are for travellers with a driver's licence from outside the USA and Canada. All drivers must be at least 21 and bring their original physical licence and passport; digital licences are not accepted.

No. Every Cruise America booking needs a prepaid mileage package: 100 miles, 500 miles or unlimited. Extra miles cost USD 0.39 each and unused miles are not refunded. We recommend Unlimited Mileage Plus, which adds a personal kit for every traveller, a kitchen kit and unlimited generator use.

Pick-up is between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and the RV must be back by 11:00 a.m. on your last day. Rental centers are closed on Sundays. With the Early Bird Departure Special you can collect earlier and the transfer is included.

The price you see on CampervanPlanet already includes the USD 50 preparation fee and the USD 9.95 environmental fee, so there is nothing extra to pay for them at the counter. At pick-up Cruise America takes a refundable USD 500 security deposit on a credit card. Your responsibility for damage is limited to USD 3,000 per incident, or zero with the optional Zero Damage Plan. Cancellation is free up to 61 days before departure.
