Insurance comparison

RVshare: Basic liability included. Full protection (collision, comprehensive, roadside) requires upgrading to RVshare Protection Plan (~$39–59/night). Excess varies by vehicle value.

Outdoorsy: Insurance is included in all bookings via Outdoorsy's own policy. Coverage limits are higher and the excess is typically lower than RVshare's base offering.

Which should you choose?

Choose RVshare if: you need a travel trailer or 5th wheel, want the largest selection, are on a tight budget, or are a repeat renter who knows how to vet host listings
Choose Outdoorsy if: you want a more curated experience, prefer better baseline insurance, or are booking a first-time trip where host quality matters more
Choose Motorhome Republic if: you want fleet-operated vehicles (not peer-to-peer), are travelling internationally, or need reliability guarantees that P2P can't provide
