Life on the open road in a RV has allowed people the freedom to explore new destinations with the comforts of home. Whether you are interested in long trips with the family or the occasional weekend getaway, deciding to buy or rent can be a difficult decision. Luckily, Lightnin RV makes choosing whether to rent or buy a RV easy with our rental and sales options.
For people interested in getting into RVing, the question becomes: should I rent or buy a RV? Renting a RV can be a great entry point to RVing, especially if it’s your first time. There are major benefits to buying although it is a long-term investment that is a must for dedicated RVers. In this blog we are going to highlight the features and benefits of the decision to rent or buy a RV to help you make an informed decision.
The Benefits of Renting a RV:
Save Money
The number one benefit of choosing to rent is the cost. For anyone new to RVing and unsure if they want to take the leap, renting can provide a path into RVing without the upfront financial investment. Renting an RV will also prevent the ongoing costs that go with maintenance and storage.
Try Before You Buy
Choosing the type of RV that fits your needs is made easy at Lightnin RV. The opportunity to rent can provide the chance to try out different types and floor plans to help ease the decision if and when it is time to make a purchase. At Lightnin RV, we only offer current-year models, which means you have the opportunity to try out various models and floor plans that can help make the decision a breeze when it’s time to buy.
Convenience
Renting can make RVing easy without any headaches! At Lightnin RV, our units are professionally cleaned and inspected prior to each trip. We also provide a detailed tour of your unit to ensure a successful and safe journey ahead! Our units also come with all necessary equipment such as power cords, water hoses, sewer hoses and coax cables for TV! We also have additional items such as camping chairs, coolers, and bike racks available for rental.
The Advantages of Buying a New RV:
Personalization
Purchasing a new RV allows you the freedom to choose which make and model best fits your specific needs and wants. Do you have children and need bunks or do you prefer a larger living space? Purchasing enables you to make these types of decisions! Owning also enables customization of your unit to fit your family’s needs.
Freedom for Adventure
Buying an RV is an investment into your family’s future adventures! Owning an RV means that you can go anywhere at any time without the need to check availability! Whether it’s a trip out west or weekly trips to the lake, the freedom is yours to choose when and where the adventure goes!
Financial Considerations
If RVing is something that your family enjoys frequently, the costs of buying can be budgeted and frequent use will over savings when compared to renting. Financing options can also offer favorable interest rates which can make owning more accessible. Just like any vehicle, RVs depreciate but careful selection and dedicated maintenance can preserve value and enable an easy resell if necessary. Lightnin RV also offers the service and maintenance necessary to keep your RV in top shape.
Final Thoughts
Which is better for you?
That decision is up to each individual’s situation, needs and wants. Renting is great for some, especially those new to RVing. But if your family makes frequent camping trips, buying might make more sense. Again the decision is ultimately yours, but our best advice is to take the time to evaluate your financial situation, travel habits, and long-term plans.
