RV hire New York: What to do with your motorhome rental

New York is a world-class travel destination for RV rentals, bursting with things to see and do. You may start off within the vicinity of the famed Statue of Liberty, there are New York RV parks for full stops, like Camp Gateway in Brooklyn and Liberty Harbor RV Park which is technically in NJ. Or, visit the global icon One World Trade Center, and walk down Wall Street to witness the excitement unfolding in Times Square.
 

Soon enough you'll realise that the New York area is never short on state parks, with hiking trails, waterfalls, and other natural green wonders. It is also a good idea to come to campgrounds like the Nickerson Beach Campground to soak a bit, as there is a dump station here where you may unload your RV wastes.
 

The Acadia National Park, in the state of Maine, is an 8-hour drive north of New York city. It’s a 47,000-acre park bordered by coastline, brimming with lakes and hiking tracks, and decorated with mountains.
 

Another 6-hour northern trip with your New York rental motorhome is to the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire, a drive that’s a vacation in itself for its breathtaking views. It will take you past the Sabbaday Falls, the Rocky Gorge, and the Lower Falls.
 

In the north of NY State, roughly 5 hours from New York City, you will find the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, next to the USA-Canada border.

We can highly recommend a visit to Berkeley Springs, as there is something there for everyone in your traveling group.

Best times of year to get RV rentals in NY

Despite the fact that New York city is quite cold from November to March, visitors still flock to the city for the massive Christmas tree, New Year’s Eve in Times Square, and the general atmosphere of the city during the holiday period. This makes accommodation pricey and in high demand, so picking up a motorhome is a great option. Take your time to enjoy the holidays in an RV hire New York and have a memorable Yuletide season!
 

New York’s spring and fall are generally the best times to visit, with mild temperatures around 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit and plenty of events. Rain is common in spring.
 

Summer from June to August is quite busy and can get humid, but it is yet another fantastic time to go to kid-friendly resorts with fun-filled family activities. You may also drive your RV rental in NYC to Long Island for fine white sand beaches and spectacular waves. Travel with New York motorhome rentals and enjoy the summer heat!

 

Tips for a successful RV rental New York road trip

Keep these in mind to smooth the process of booking and driving your motorhome in New York.

  •  Manhattan Island and much of the surrounding area is off-limits to RVs. You wouldn't want to drive there anyway, so we recommend when visiting the Big Apple, to leave your New York motorhome rental at your RV park in the suburbs and catch the subway or public transport into the city.

  •  Get insured! A fender-bender can really ruin your buzz if you don’t have total cover for your RV rental.

  •  Don’t pack too much into your itinerary! Give yourself time to visit the small towns, the national parks and the inviting cafes you find along the way.

RV Rental New York City: Explore the American North East

New York city is an excellent starting point for an RV rental road trip. With a major international airport bringing people in and interstate highways leading out onto the open road, it is easy to spend a few days in the city that never sleeps. All you have to do is compare New York motorhome rentals on our website, pick up your chosen RV and hit the road. Just make sure you are not too tired to drive!

 

New York, New York

Frank Sinatra sang of New York as a city of opportunity… a city that doesn’t sleep, where he’d find himself at the top of the heap. Most travellers visiting the Big Apple don’t have quite the same aspirations, but they will likely leave with the same impression. A tourism metropolis that’s full of life and things to do, eat and experience. So getting bored is nearly impossible while touring with RV rentals NY. Blessed with a range of cultures, this famous place offers snippets of life from all over the globe.

The hottest tickets in town

There is a wide variety of events in New York to keep the entire family entertained. There are always minor events happening - Broadway show seasons, sporting events at the stadiums or Madison Square Gardens, live music in a back-street bar and an almost permanent merry-go-round of concerts. However, the major annual events are unique experiences which you can plan your RV trip around and help you save money.

A favourite is the New York’s annual Tribeca Film Festival, at various venues around lower Manhattan NY. Continuing the artsy vein is SummerStage - a relatively unknown, but wonderful concert series of 100 free shows held in 17 parks across the city’s five boroughs, while the NY Fringe Festival is an alternative highlight. Holiday classics include the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting and New Year’s Eve in Times Square. A good one for visitors is the Museum Mile Festival, which sees nine of the best museums open their doors for free. You can enjoy the party and return to your trusty New York RV rental at the end of a fun day of music and revelry.

Catch a Broadway show! You shouldn’t miss out on this theatre experience while in New York City. Buy tickets on the day of a show for the best prices at TKTS online, and if you are not too fussy about which show to see you can get a great deal. Musicals, comedies and dramas all show on Broadway - and for cheaper productions, try an off-broadway show.

Bite the Big Apple

Hungry after all that exploring? RV rentals in New York can help travellers wander along the region’s top restaurants and food carts. There is no one way to describe the food scene, other than all-encompassing! Any taste and budget can be accommodated. Some famous, must-try New York meals include pizza by the slice, bagels and lox, hot dogs from a street cart, deli sandwiches and the cheesecake. Forget any idea of dieting and aim for at least one of each during your stay!

High-end restaurants are, unsurprisingly, very common. Delicious examples include Eleven Madison Park, Momofuku Ko, Riverpark and Per Se. For a real treat, find a place with a degustation menu and try multiple small plates. At the other end of the scale, street food is a New York favourite. Trade your rental RV for a food truck and get amongst the culinary scene.

Islands of Culture

Manhattan, at the center of New York, is an island bordered by the Hudson River, East River and Harlem River. The Bronx is on the mainland to the north, Brooklyn and Queens to the east on Long Island, and Staten Island to the south. The city is made up of islands and waterways! It was, and still is, an important port and harbour, a major factor in the city’s huge growth and development. It has famous attractions like Central Park and the Empire State Building, notable museums such as Met and MoMA, thousands of dining outlets and the bright lights of Broadway. But there’s more to discover and picking up an RV hire New York is the best way to tour around.

As a gateway to the country, Manhattan has seen thriving immigrant communities and much diversity. Culture is everywhere - from classical art to street hip-hop culture, you can experience it all.

Want to Be a Part of It?

Go shopping! This city is arguably the fashion capital of the US, and every neighbourhood is full of department stores, chain stores, boutiques and specialty shops. For great outlet shopping, head your campervan rental NY to Century 21 which offers designer labels at discount prices in downtown Manhattan.

Sightseeing is easy to do in the city as there are so many famous buildings and places. Top of the list are the Freedom Tower which replaced the fallen Twin Towers, the Statue of Liberty in the harbour, Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building... the list goes on. It would be a shame to end your New York rental motorhome trip without seeing the best of the sights.

Here are a few trusted NYC RV rental brands you can hire RVs from:

Star Drive RV, Road Bear RV and Britz Motorhomes

For some of the most luxurious RVs in New York, head to 42 State Route 36 East, Middletown, where you will find the depot of Star Drive, Road Bear and Britz Motorhomes. It’s about 35 miles from Newark Airport or 60 miles from JFK Airport. There are some transfers available from various airport hotels - not the airports themselves - so be sure to check when you book if your hotel is on the list. The branch is open 8 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday and between 8 am and 1 pm on Saturdays, with drop-offs typically scheduled for the mornings and pick-ups in the afternoons.
 

Star Drive RV is a premium rental provider of luxury motorhomes from two- to seven-berth models, which all feature comfortable interiors, plenty of space, and showers and toilets. Road Bear RV has a selection of three C Class motorhomes from a compact 19-foot four-berth RV to a roomy 30-foot seven-berth home on wheels. The fourth option with Road Bear RV is an A-Class 29-32 foot motorhome with all the essentials and every comfort available. Britz keeps it simple by sticking to four-berth RV models of between 21 and 28 feet with all the basics for a comfortable adventure.

El Monte RV, Compass Campers and Sunshine RV

Sunshine RV is El Monte’s no-frills brand, with four economy RVs in the fleet. These rental RVs are suited to five to six people and come in a range of sizes from 24 to 33 feet. El Monte itself adds a selection of motorhomes from class A bus styles of up to a very luxurious 37 feet, comfortable class C cabover styles and slideout cabover styles.
 

Compass Campers offers an affordable RV rental alternative with a fleet of Ford and Chevy motorhomes to suit any travelling group from two to eight people, each fully equipped and self-contained. The depot for these three brands is at 3401 B Tremley Point Road, Linden, which is only 10 miles from Newark Airport, 30 miles from LaGuardia and 35 miles from JFK. To get there, these suppliers offer transfer for a fee per person, per direction fare from various hotels near the airport and in the downtown area. Drop-offs must be made between 8 am and 11 am on weekdays, pick-ups can be made from 1 pm to 4 pm. Note that the drive from mid-Manhattan can take 45 to 60 minutes.

Escape Campervan Rentals and Wild Campers USA

Wild Campers USA is run by Escape Campervans, which is why you’ll find these two brands have a lot in common. Wild Campers offers affordable vans for travelers on a budget, including a 2-3 berth auto Malibu camper (a Chevy Astro), and a 2-4 berth Mavericks campervan (a Ford E150). The truly special thing about Wild Campers is their exterior graphic designs, as the brand works with talented artists to create bright murals that you’ll love to drive and others won’t help but notice.
 

Escape Campervans offer these same vehicles for hire in New York, plus the two-sleeper Ventura (Dodge Caravan) that’s just as bold and bright as the others. The New York depot for Escape and Wild is by appointment only, which means that you can pick up or drop off your motorhome rental between 8 am and 6 pm any day of the week, so long as you book it first. The depot is located at 11 Marin Boulevard in Jersey City, and you’ll need to make your own way there as there are no transfers available. This journey is approximately 5.5 miles long and will take around 30 minutes.

Cruise America

Cruise America RV Rental depots keep a fleet of C class motorhomes in standard, large, and compact models. The standard is a 25-foot Ford V8 RV with its own power generator, kitchen and bathroom, and cruise control, suited to five people. The compact RV measures 19 feet, and largely has the exact same features as the standard, only in a smaller size fit for three sleepers. Cruise America’s large motorhome is 30 feet in length, has a Ford V10 engine, and allows for a maximum of seven people.
 

The company’s depot is found at 1045 Northern Boulevard in Roslyn, which is roughly 45 minutes from Newark Airport or 16 miles from JFK Airport. You receive a transfer from JFK Airport area hotels only if you purchase the Early Bird Departure Special, which means you also get an early pick-up time of between 9 am and noon (as regular pick-ups occur only between 1 pm and 4 pm). Cruise America is only closed on Sundays and public holidays and does not allow for pick-ups on the same day if you are flying in from an international destination. They also have camper rentals in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. You can also pick up RV rentals in San Francisco, Denver and many more.
