Best RV Rentals in Las Vegas, Nevada: 2026 Desert Trip Guide
The best Las Vegas RV rentals are listed by local owners on Outdoorsy, with a protection plan on every trip.
Why an RV suits Las Vegas
Seeing Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, and Lake Mead usually means a rental car and a separate hotel near each one.
An RV turns those three desert stops into a single relaxed loop out to the desert, with the Strip as your comfortable home base.
Travel in spring or fall for the best weather, since summer heat regularly tops 100 degrees.

Outdoorsy, RVshare, Cruise America or a Local Company in Las Vegas?
For most Las Vegas trips, a peer to peer marketplace offers more rig types and price points than any single fleet, while a fleet suits renters who want an airport pickup or a one way drop. Here is how the options compare, checked October 2026.
- Outdoorsy: Las Vegas owners list rigs from $45 a night, and the city page offers delivery and towable options. Best for matching a rig to your dates and budget.
- RVshare: its Las Vegas listings averaged $212 a night across more than 400 rentals when read, with 24/7 emergency roadside assistance on every booking. Best for checking a second pool of local owners.
- Cruise America: its rental center in Henderson quotes $75 to $150 a night off season and $150 to $250 at peak, and you arrange your own transfer from the airport. It also lists pre approved one way trips from Las Vegas to Phoenix and Denver for departures into early 2027.
- Blacksford: a local fleet at 500 Pilot Road, about 3 miles from Harry Reid International, with unlimited mileage, free airport pickup and rates from $299 a night. Best for flying in and driving a long Utah or Grand Canyon loop.
Choose a marketplace when price and rig type matter most, Cruise America for a standard motorhome or a one way trip, and a local fleet when unlimited miles and airport pickup decide it.

A larger Class A still works well if you plan to stick mainly to the Strip area and full hookup RV parks.
Match the rig to how far off the highway you plan to go. The classes that suit desert driving.
What is the best RV rental in Las Vegas for traveling with small kids?
A Class C motorhome is usually the best RV rental in Las Vegas for traveling with small kids, because the bunk above the cab gives children a bed of their own.
Ask the owner which belted seats will take your car seats, and keep summer driving days short in the desert heat.
Plan to bring your own car seats, because Cruise America's renter FAQ says it does not supply car seats or cribs.
Peer to peer owners on Outdoorsy and RVshare set their own policy, so ask before you pay.

Your Outdoorsy booking includes a protection plan, with state minimum liability as standard and $500,000 if you choose the Peace of Mind package.
Desert heat is hard on tires and generators, and the deductible plus any interior damage from negligence still falls on you, so check the package on your listing first. The insurance to sort before you drive off.
