Best Rental RV Dealer Deals & Discounts for 2026

Cruise America has been North America’s largest motorhome rental company since it was founded in 1972, now operating over 130 rental locations across the United States and Canada. As an exclusively Class C motorhome operator, its fleet covers four size tiers suited to different group sizes: the C19 Compact (19 ft, sleeps up to 3), the C25 Standard (25 ft, sleeps up to 5 – the company’s most popular model), the C30 Large (30 ft, sleeps up to 7), and the T17 Truck Camper (sleeps up to 4). Every motorhome comes self-contained with a full kitchen, rooftop air conditioning, a pressurized freshwater tank, on-board generator, and a receiver hitch – giving families everything they need for extended road trips without relying on campground hookups.

The standout summer 2026 offer is Unlimited Miles included on every RV rental – Cruise America is waiving all mileage fees for departures through August 15, 2026, using promo code FRDU. This means no mileage costs at all, making it ideal for longer cross-country itineraries where distance charges would otherwise add up significantly. Note that one-way rentals are not included in this offer, it cannot be combined with other promotions, and existing reservations modified during the promotional period will be repriced at current rates. A separate deal cuts the standard mileage rate in half to just 19¢ per mile (down from 38¢) using code FRDM – the better choice for round-trip trips outside the unlimited miles window. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary this summer, there has never been a better time to explore the country by road.

Beyond the headline discounts, Cruise America offers a Long-Term Rental Discount that requires no promo code: rent for 21–30 nights and receive 5% off nightly rates and mileage; rent for 31 nights or more and the discount rises to 10%. For one-way trips, the company periodically runs Relocation Specials – deep discounts of up to 95% off time and mileage on routes where Cruise America needs to reposition vehicles. Current relocation deals include rates as low as $9/night departing Phoenix or Orlando, and $39/night for trips heading to Phoenix, Orlando, or Chicago. A separate New Vehicle Relocation Deal (Hot Deal Code FDD) lets renters drive a brand-new Cruise America RV on select one-way routes from the Chicago or Toronto area, with 200 free miles per day and no one-way drop fees, for stays of at least 7 nights.

Renting also unlocks a valuable set of partner campground discounts. Every renter receives a KOA Rewards key tag at pickup, granting 10% off the daily registration rate at any of the 500+ KOA Campgrounds across the US and Canada – simply show the tag at check-in. Cruise America customers can also use code CRUISE10 on Hipcamp for 10% off unique outdoor stays at farms, vineyards, and private properties, and code CRUISE20 for 20% off the first year of a Harvest Hosts membership (normally $99/year), which opens access to overnight stays at more than 9,000 wineries, breweries, farms, and attractions continent-wide.

A few practical booking tips: Cruise America prices follow demand, so booking earlier generally means lower base rates. The standard $300 reservation deposit is fully refundable up to 7 days before departure on round-trip rentals; one-way and relocation deals carry a non-refundable deposit once confirmed. Promotions cannot be stacked, and currently active codes expire – always verify your discount is reflected in the pre-tax total before paying. To reach a reservation specialist, call (800) 671-8042.
