AUSTIN, Texas and AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RVshare, the largest community for RV owners and renters, has had over 100,000[1] owners sign up to rent their RV's since the pandemic began. The ongoing interest in RV travel has fueled RV owners' profits. With an influx of new RV owners renting on the site, nearly 30 percent use their rental as a way to offset the cost of owning an RV. According to a recent survey of RVshare owners, nearly 60 percent of owners are able to cover at least half or more of their financing payments by renting out their vehicle through RVshare, while 17 percent claim that they have been able to pay off their vehicle entirely.[2]

Key Points:

With an influx of new RV owners renting on the site, nearly 30 percent use their rental as a way to offset the cost of owning an RV.
[2]
The online rental site recently found that 64 percent of owners claim to have purchased their RV after the pandemic started in March 2020.
With many RVshare owners still working their full time jobs, the upkeep and management of an RV rental can seem like a big time commitment.
To help cushion the commitment, RV rental management companies have begun to gain popularity in the RV rental industry.
