Questions
 

At American RV Rentals all you pay is the cost of the  motorhome you select.
 
As always our overseas customers have our money back guarantee that they will enjoy the motorhome they have rented from us.  If they don't like the RV they have rented, simply return it to us within 24 hours, with less than 100 miles on the odometer, for a 100% refund.
If for any reason the reserved motor home is not available,
American RV Rentals reserves the right to substitute a motor home, of equal or greater value or sleeping capacity to the renter, at no difference in rental fee.
