Obviously, the Monthly RV Rental Cost will be different depending on City, the time of year, the individual RV Owner or Company and the class of RV, and the amenities offered.

You have several options to select from and many websites offering Monthly RV Rentals in Atlanta.  Below is a Host we found through RVnGO and his Class C RV Rental. 

This RV is a great selection for it’s ease of driving for people compared to a Class A, and many people don’t have a vehicle to tow a trailer, so we didn’t go that route. We went with RVnGO because out of all the other sites, they do not charge ANY fees to the Host or the Guest. 

When we say no fees, Every website we have looked at charges a “service fee” or “reservation fee” or some variation of “usage fee” charged by the company in addition to the standard credit card processing fees. RVnGO does not do that. And the Damage Protection Coverage is considerably better. The Host in Atlanta for this article is Ken, who owns On His Wings Travels LLC. and the base Monthly RV Rental rate charged is $5,700 for a 24 foot, 2018 Thor Freedom Elite. This RV sleeps 6 passengers and has 2 slideouts. The charges from the Host include a booking deposit of $300 and a security deposit of $1,500. He also has a $150 prep fee.

Damage protection is included at a nightly rate *not a daily rate. For the damage waiver fee, that is $800 for a $1 Million dollar liability coverage and up to $200,000 in damages coverage. You also have 24/7 roadside assistance which will be $360. Then there is the typical 3% credit card processing fee of $221. Don’t forget taxes… That will be $351 for that Monthly RV Rental.

As stated in the first section of this article, Naturally, these rates vary depending on the Host and the type of RV and the amenities offered.  When shopping, you will want to be sure to compare side by side, apple to apple.
