RV rentals in the bay area
June 12, 2010 5:26 PM

Seeking advice on good/bad RV rental companies in the Bay Area.

My parents are hoping to realize their long-cherished plan of roaming around the West Coast in a RV for a week or so this July. We're looking for a RV for 4 adults. Everyone going on the trip has a great deal of US road trip experience (in cars/minivans) and some camping experience.

We're looking for a reputable RV rental company in the Bay area, preferably on the Peninsula, that rents out CLEAN, well-functioning vehicles and will not try to rip us off. CruiseAmerica and El Monte seem to be the big companies but I've read some bad things about them (e.g. accusing renters of damage; less-than-thorough cleanings). Some of the family-owned places have nice websites and deals but I've not been able to find reviews for them. If you have recent experiences with these or any other companies, good or bad, I'd be grateful for your advice. Also, if you know of a good RV rental company reviews website, that would be awesome too. Thanks!

Update, for posterity's sake, because I love AskMetaFilterians: El Monte in Dublin, CA was extremely nice and helpful when I visited (twice) to check out the RVs (July 2010). They were a bit cheaper than the competition. I ended up renting from them and overall had an easy, positive experience. Most importantly, the unit was really clean! Would rent from them again.
