RecNation, parent company of peer-to-peer RV rental startup RecNation Rental, and RV rental platform RVshare will partner on a white-glove rental program to enable RV owners to earn rental income from their owned assets hassle-free.
RecNation will provide professional management, including listing and marketing the RV rental, customer service, post-trip cleaning, repairs and more. Most services will be available to RVshare owners on an a la carte basis through their Premium Rental Services.
RecNation Rental is an Outdoorsy and RVshare partner.
RecNation CEO Gary Wojtaszek said: “This partnership is a win-win for RV owners and renters. This program will help owners be hands-off while making more revenue. And renters can expect professionalism and reliability throughout the rental process.”
RecNation’s RV White-Glove program will provide professional, secure and reliable RV rental services, saving owners 6-7 hours on average per rental. The program includes thorough inspections, check-in procedures, and an experienced on-site staff equipped to meet rental business demands.
RVshare CEO Jon Gray said there is a gap in the RV rental industry for professional management services.
“Property rental management is ingrained in the vacation rental industry and has yet to find a place in the RV rental industry,” Gray said. “We believe in RecNation’s mission and are looking forward to partnering with them to professionalize the RV rental process.”
Once owners are registered with RecNation, they will have the ability to schedule services online which could vary depending on the owner’s unique needs. Those services include:
- Drop-Off Trust Center: The renter can drop off the RV at RecNation’s facility for the Owner to pick up at their convenience.
- RV Cleaning and Turnaround: Oftentimes the most time-consuming aspect of renting an RV, RecNation staff will clean and sanitize the interior and exterior of the RV, including changing linens.
- Renter Check-In and Walkthrough: RecNation staff will walk renters through how to use and operate each vehicle, as well as answer any questions to ensure they are comfortable and safe during their trip.
- Rental Checkout and Inspections: Post-rental inspections will be conducted to ensure the RV is still in good condition and report any issues.
- 24/7 Customer Support: RecNation offers around-the-clock support for any unexpected issues on the road. (White-Glove Program Only)
RecNation is piloting the rental program in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area with local RVshare owners. The companies plan to expand the program to other locations.
