Camping World/FreedomRoads Announces Expansion Into RV Rental Market

Camping World/FreedomRoads, the nation's largest RV and outdoor retailer announced it will be adding recreational vehicle rentals to their suite of RV and Outdoor product offerings.

RV Rental Centers will initially launch in major markets including: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando/Kissimmee, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. An additional twenty markets are targeted within the next 24 months such as Buffalo, Houston, Indianapolis and Sacramento. The ultimate goal is to have rental units available in Camping World locations across the country supported by the only national service network currently 100 stores strong and growing.

"Offering RV Rentals is a natural fit with our business," said Marcus Lemonis, Camping World/FreedomRoads Chairman & CEO. "We've already established state-of-the-art facilities nationwide while offering RV and Outdoor products such as Coleman at our retail stores; moving into RV Rental market offers the consumer flexibility in their travel plans while providing a unique and affordable rental experience." Lemonis added, "We plan to offer the lowest daily and weekly rates supported by our relationship with thousands of campgrounds and most importantly 24 hour road side assistance. Our goal is to provide total peace of mind to every customer."

The proposal will offer one-way and roundtrip RV reviews through online reservations (campingworld.com and rvrental.com) and a toll-free reservation center. Rental inventory will be powered by Winnebago; the leading RV manufacturer of Class A and Class C Motorhomes and the fleet will range of 25' Class C to 31' Class A models. Learn more...
