Owners agree that they have the appropriate insurance coverage in compliance with state and federal laws sufficient to protect the Company, Owner and Renter’s liability and RV damage outside the Company platform before listing the RV for rent on the website and will maintain adequate insurance coverage for so long as they list RVs for rent on the website. Owners agree to provide Company with copies of relevant proof of coverage upon request.
Owner Optional Insurance and Protection administered by DigiSure and underwritten by Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company. If the owner chooses to require insurance and protection administered by DigiSure (the “The Protection Plan”) the Renter will be responsible to complete the insurance and protection check-out process, be approved by DigiSure and pay the cost for The Protection Plan in order for coverage to be activated. Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance company underwrites the third-party liability excess and surplus lines policy issued in the state of Ohio. Note the Company is not a broker, agent or insurer.
The Protection Plan covers claims while the Renter or an authorized and pre-approved Driver is operating the vehicle listed on the coverage forms, for the coverage provided by The Protection Plan and for which the Renter has paid the applicable charges. In addition, The Protection Plan covers claims while the vehicle listed on theThe Protection Plan is occupied but not under operation, for the coverage provided by The Protection Plan and for which you have paid the applicable charges. Units 20 years old or newer and a max actual cash value up to $300,000 will have physical damage protection with a per occurrence claim deductible. RVshare is not an insurance company, and contractual reimbursement for physical damage to your vehicle is not insurance. RVshare will reimburse Member for eligible physical damage costs in excess of the deductible, subject to terms and exclusions, for the lesser of the cost of repair up to the actual cash value of the RV up to a max limit of $300,000. If your RV is damaged (not totaled) and repaired, you’re not protected for any diminution in the value of your RV. There is also no guarantee, expressed or implied, for the quality of repairs you obtain. If a shop repairs the eligible damage and the repairs later turn out to be of low quality, there will be no reimbursement by the Company for repeat repairs. The Protection Plan does not cover damages to the tow vehicle of a non-motorized RV or any property being towed by a motorized RV. Towing of a trailer by a covered RV is allowed if approved by the Owner and the maximum combined length of the RV, dolly or trailer tongue and trailer do not exceed 55 feet.
All units will have bodily injury and property damage liability insurance underwritten by Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company at the applicable limit for Members and the state minimum financial responsibility limit for the Renter unless the Renter selects and purchases the Protection Plan Preferred Package with a per occurrence claim deductible, on an excess basis.
If The Protection Plan is cancelled at your request prior to taking possession of the RV rental, there will be no minimum earned charge retained by DigiSure or Crum & Forster for insurance and protection. However, if The Protection Plan is cancelled at your request after taking possession of the RV rental, the charges will be earned pro rata calculated based on the number of days of the actual trip and retained by DigiSure and Crum & Forster.
The Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan does not offer nor cover You, or anyone using the RV, for uninsured, underinsured or uninsured/underinsured motorists’ bodily injury or property damage, medical payments coverage or personal injury protection or any other coverage not noted above and pre-approved by DigiSure. The named insured has rejected all coverage other than the coverage defined and offered for purchase herein and as a purchaser of coverage under the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan you expressly agree to the selection and rejections made by the named insured under the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan. However, The Crum & Forster insurance policy in the Protection Plan may comply with individual state specific requirements. If an accident, to which the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan applies, occurs in any state or province other than the one in which the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan is written, we will interpret the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan coverage for the Accident or occurrence as follows:
If the state or province has a financial responsibility, compulsory insurance or similar law requiring a driver using a recreational vehicle in that state or province to maintain insurance with limits of liability for bodily injury or property damage higher than the limits in the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan provides, then the limits of liability under the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan applied to that accident will be the higher Minimum Liability Coverage limits required by the law in that state or province or the applicable limits of liability provided for that insured under the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan.
The Protection Plan’s coverage territory is the United States and Canada. There is no coverage for accidents occurring in Mexico.
The Protection Plan will be reduced by 200% of the applicable deductible for any damage that occurs to a RV taken to a festival that is unauthorized by RVshare, including but not limited to “Burning Man” hosted by the Burning Man Project in the vicinity of Black Rock Desert, Nevada. The Security Deposit Waiver does not cover damage occurring at Burning Man.
By purchasing the Crum & Forster insurance policy in The Protection Plan, you expressly agree that you understand that the coverages are limited as set forth above and that the intent of the Crum & Forster Insurance Policy in The Protection Plan that you selected and purchased is to provide liability coverage to third parties who may be injured by your operation of the RV and that The Protection Plan only provides physical damage protection for the RV you have rented once the Renter has taken possession and does not cover the Owner during delivery or pickup of the unit to the Renter’s location.
The Crum & Forster liability insurance policy is not covered under the states’ property and casualty guaranty fund, and the insurer or the risk retention group from which your purchasing group obtained its insurance may not be subject to all of the insurance laws and rules of this state.
Completed departure and return forms, supplied by Company, must be submitted in the event a claim occurred and is filed. The departure forms including photos must be completed before the trip start and the return forms including photos must be dated by the Owner no later than forty-eight (48) hours after the end of term in which the loss occurred. In the event that the Owner does not complete the departure forms including photos before the trip start and the return forms including photos, as supplied by Company, within forty-eight (48) hours after the end of term in which the loss occurred, then any damages paid out of The Protection Plan will be reduced by 200% of the applicable deductible listed on the declarations page up to a maximum of $3,000 per occurrence. Any accident involving bodily injury or property damage to others or a stolen vehicle or hit-and-run or phantom vehicle must be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency immediately or no later than seventy-two (72) hours after the accident. The Protection Plan will not pay for a loss which is not reported within 30 days after the end of the rental term in which the loss occurred.
Renter agrees that the Company may charge their payment method for the full cost of The Protection Plan related to a rental booked through Company. In addition, the Renter authorizes the Company to charge the credit card or ACH used to make the booking to collect up to The Protection Plan’s max $3,000 deductible per occurrence amount owed in excess of the withheld Security Deposit. The Security Deposit Waiver, if purchased by the Renter, will cover up to the first $1,500 in eligible covered damages towards the applicable insurance and protection deductible.
In the event that a Renter initiates a chargeback with their credit card company for The Protection Plan charges, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to dispute the validity of the chargeback. Owner and Renter agree to cooperate with the Company and to provide any information that may be reasonably requested by the Company in its investigation. Owner and Renter authorize the Company to share information about a chargeback with the Company, the Renter, the Renter’s financial institution, the Owner, and the Owner’s financial institution in order to investigate or mediate a chargeback. Renter acknowledges that chargeback decisions are made by the applicable issuing bank, card networks, or NACHA (National Automated Clearing House Association) and all judgments as to the validity of the chargeback are made at the sole discretion of the applicable issuing bank, card network, or NACHA. If the chargeback is upheld or additional funds are not secured, the Owner is responsible for the difference between the security deposit and the applicable deductible(s).
Your risk is not protected by the states’ property and casualty guaranty fund, and the insurer or the risk retention group from which your purchasing group obtained its insurance may not be subject to all of the insurance laws and rules of this state.
14. Company Service Fees.
In consideration for your access to and use of the Services, you agree to pay the fees, charges, and other amounts set forth herein or that may otherwise be charged by Company from time to time and as set forth on the website or the Services. Payment for Services will be paid via credit card or ACH directly to Company. Company reserves the right to increase fees at the end of each term without notice to Party. In the event of non-payment or late payment, Company reserves the right to suspend services until the full amount due is paid in full. Delinquent amounts are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection, including Company’s attorneys’ fees. You will continue to be charged for amounts owed hereunder during any period of payment delinquency. Further, and without limiting any other rights or remedies available to Company hereunder or under applicable law, in the case of any payment default, Company, may, in its sole discretion, remove or delete any of your Member Content or other data that may be stored or maintained by you on the Services. Removal of such Member Content or data does not relieve you of your obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to your account. Company will not be obligated to restore any Member Content or other data removed from the Services for Members or other users who are in default.
Company charges an RVshare Service Fee payable by Renters who book via the website. The RVshare Service Fee covers the use of the website and Services, including such features as guaranteed 24/7 roadside support, and is calculated as a percentage of the total reservation amount (which may or may not include additional fees, taxes and deposits). The exact RVshare Service Fee charged will be displayed to Renters at the time of booking.
The RVshare Service Fee will be refunded along the lines outlined in Section 16 below.
Any taxes alleged to be owed by any taxing authority on the RVshare Service Fee are the responsibility of Company.
15. RVshare Renter Fees.
The fees you see listed below are related to any post-rental resolution between the Owner and the Renter that requires Company involvement. The list may not be exclusive and the Owner and Renter may agree to additional fees outside of this Agreement. Failure to charge any of the fees below shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event another fee should become due at any other time. More information about the Post-Trip Fee Policy can be found in the help center.
Administrative Fee. Company shall charge the Renter an administrative fee on any charges listed by the Owner on the Return form (identified as overages, charges, damages).
Late Fee. If a Renter returns the RV after the agreed rental period end time, such Renter will be charged a late fee. This late fee is calculated by combining an administrative fee to the prorated hourly rental rate (based on the daily rate for the RV rented). There is a one (1)-hour grace period with each rental. If the late return results in the disruption of another rental or Company needs to find the owner of the RV alternative transportation due to the late return, the Renter will pay the full daily rate for every eight (8) hours the RV is late. These charges will be added to the initial rental rate agreed upon by the Owner and Renter.
Cleaning Fee. We understand that RVs get dirty out on the road. Returning an RV with a normal amount of dirt is acceptable and will not result in any additional charges. However, if an RV is returned covered in dirt, soot, trash, food, wine stains, etc., and you, as Renter, do not clean the RV prior to returning it, the Owner may charge the Renter, possibly through Company, an additional cleaning fee. These fees may vary for each Owner.
No-Show Fee. If the Owner does not show up to meet the Renter and make the RV available for the Renter at the agreed upon rental start time, Company will treat this as an Owner cancellation. If a Renter does contact Company to cancel the rental, the Renter will be charged the total amount for the rental period until the issue is resolved. If the Renter does not show to pick up the RV, it will be treated as a Renter cancellation and subject to the Owner’s cancellation policy.
Refueling Fee. Renters should check with the Owner to discuss their fuel options and miscellaneous charges before the rental begins. The RV’s gas tank and propane tanks should be full when you pick it up, but be sure to discuss expectations and options. The typical refueling options that our Owners offer are:
The Owner includes fuel with the rental (not very common).
The Renter refuels the RV prior to the end of the rental and returns it with the same amount of fuel at the time of pickup. If the rented RV is not refueled upon return, the Owner will send Company the receipt. The amount will be charged to the Renter plus an administrative fee.
RV Damage. A $100 fee will be incurred for stranding an RV (in addition to any costs incurred to repair the RV). In the case of any damage to the RV (fiberglass, cushions, cabinetry, electronics, etc.), the Renter will be charged the actual cost of parts plus hourly labor costs needed to repair the damaged item. The amount will be charged to the Renter plus an administrative fee.
Lost Item Fee. Any lost or damaged items will be valued at Good Sams or Amazons Internet retail pricing for comparable item(s). The amount must be claimed on the Damage Form and will be charged to the Renter plus an administrative fee.
16. Cancellation Policies; Refunds.
Company offers various levels of cancellation policies to Owners. Owners will choose from the policies outlined below when negotiating or setting the price for their RV rental. Each cancellation policy details the possible refund for the Renter.
Flexible: Renter is entitled to a full refund of monies paid, less the RVshare Service Fee, for all cancellations made at least thirty (30) days prior to the rental start date. If Renter cancels within the thirty (30)-day window immediately prior to the rental start date, the Renter is only entitled to a fifty percent (50%) refund of all monies paid, less the RVshare Service Fee.
Standard: Renter is entitled to a full refund of monies paid, less the RVshare Service Fee, for all cancellations made at least thirty (30) days prior to the rental start date. If Renter cancels between twenty-nine (29) and fourteen (14) days prior to the rental start date, the Renter is only entitled to a fifty percent (50%) refund of all monies paid, less the RVshare Service Fee. If a cancellation is made within the fourteen (14)-day window immediately prior to the rental start date, the booking is non-refundable.
Strict: Renter is entitled to a full refund of monies paid, less the RVshare Service Fee, for all cancellations made at least thirty (30) days prior to the rental start date. If a cancellation is made within the thirty (30)-day window immediately prior to the rental start date, the booking is non-refundable.
If insurance and protection eligibility is declined by DigiSure, the booking will be cancelled and Renter will receive a full refund of moneys paid and no fees shall be earned by the Owner.
Renter will be required to agree to the cancellation policy selected by the Owner. Any Renter who wishes to cancel their booking must submit a cancellation request through the RVshare platform. The cancellation request will be processed according to the Owner’s chosen cancellation policy which the Renter previously agreed to.
In order to receive any type of refund, cancellations must be made by 11:59pm PST on the day set forth in the applicable cancellation policy.
For all bookings made seven (7) or more days prior to the rental start date, there is a twenty-four (24) hour grace cancellation period wherein the Renter will be entitled to a refund of all monies paid. For all bookings made less than seven (7) days prior to the rental start date, there is only a one (1)-hour grace cancellation grade period wherein the Renter will be entitled to a refund of all monies paid. Once the rental period starts, the booking is non-refundable.
U.S. military service members are eligible to receive a full refund regardless of the cancellation policy if their cancellation is due to an active deployment or other military-issued order (Company reserves the right to ask for supporting documentation). From time to time, at Company’s sole discretion, Company may offer refunds outside of the cancellation policy.
17. Chargebacks.
In the event that a Renter initiates a chargeback with their credit card company, for either rental fees or a security deposit, Company will inform the Owner that a chargeback has been initiated. If Company deems that the chargeback is not warranted, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to dispute the validity of the chargeback on the Owner’s behalf. Owner agrees to cooperate with Company and to provide any information that may be reasonably requested by Company in its investigation. If you are an Owner, you authorize Company to share information about a chargeback with the Renter, the Renter’s financial institution, and Owner’s financial institution in order to investigate or mediate a chargeback. In the event that a chargeback dispute is lost, and funds are debited from Company’s account, Owner authorizes Company to, without notice, recapture such amount from Owner’s bank account or to withhold such amount from any payment due to Owner now or in the future. Owner acknowledges that chargeback decisions are made by the applicable issuing bank, card networks, or NACHA and all judgments as to the validity of the chargeback are made at the sole discretion of the applicable issuing bank, Card Networks, or NACHA.
18. Taxes.
If you are an Owner, you understand and agree that you are responsible for determining your applicable Tax-reporting requirements in consultation with your tax advisors. Company does not offer tax, accounting, financial, legal, or any other professional advice to any users of the website or the Services. Additionally, except as otherwise provided in this section, note that each Owner is responsible for determining local indirect Taxes and for including any applicable Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in their Listing(s). In compliance with state and local tax laws, RVshare may be required to collect and remit applicable taxes on behalf of Owners. A list of the Taxes collected by Company is provided on Company’s website.
19. Refer a Friend Program
Under the Company’s Refer a Friend Program (the “Program”), RVshare Owners or Renters (each a “Referring Owner” or “Referring Renter”) may invite prospective owners or renters who are not currently Owners on RVShare.com or who have not previously rented with RVShare.com (each a “Referred Owner” or “Referred Renter”) to either create a Listing or rent an RV. Referring Owners, Referring Renters, Referred Owners and Referred Renters shall all be referred to as “Program Participants.”
For Referring Owners and Referred Owners. Once a Listing has been verified and the other conditions for payment (specified below) have occurred, the Referring Owner and the Referred Owner are eligible to receive a one-time “Referral Bonus” in an amount established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion (currently $25).
By participating in the Program, the Referred Owner acknowledges that the Company may at its sole discretion, share the Referred Owner’s first name and member status in the Referring Owner’s user account setting to inform the Referring Owner about the status of the earned Referral Bonus. If you do not want the Referring Owner to receive the information about you, please do not finalize your Listing after clicking on the Referral Link. Your participation in the Program will terminate and neither party will be eligible for a Referral Bonus.
A Referral Bonus can be earned as follows:
The Referring Owner shares the referral link with the Referred Owner as provided on the website (the “Referral Link”).
The Referred Owner receiving the link creates a Listing through the Services by clicking on the Referral Link; and
A booking for the RV subject to the Listing is confirmed as completed by the Company.
A Referring Owner will not share or publish the Referral Links where there is no reasonable basis for believing that recipients are genuine RV owners,
For Referring Renters and Referred Renters. Once a reservation has been verified and the other conditions for payment (specified below) have occurred, the Referring Renter and the Referred Renter are eligible to receive a one-time “Referral Bonus” in an amount established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion (currently $25).
A Referral Bonus can be earned as follows:
The Referring Renter shares the referral link with the Referred Renter as provided on the website (the “Referral Link”).
The Referred Renter receiving the link completes an RV booking; and
Completion of the booking is confirmed as completed by the Company.
For all Program Participants. We may suspend, terminate or change the terms and requirements of the Program at any time and for any reason. A Referral Bonus already earned in accordance with the terms of the Program before such change, suspension or termination, will be honored.
Program Participants have to be at least 18 years old. Employees, contractors and other personnel of the Company or its affiliates (as well as their immediate family members) are excluded from participation. Program Participants need to be natural persons. Referring Owners and Referred Owners must at all times be different people and unrelated. Referring Renters and Referred Renters must at all times be different people and unrelated. Participation in the Program is void wherever prohibited under applicable law.
A determination on whether or not Participants have qualified for a Referral Bonus will be made by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
A Referring Owner or Referring Renter can only earn up to $600 in every calendar year. Each Referred Owner or Referred Renter can only use a Referral Link one time to create a Listing or making a booking, regardless of whether the Referred Owner or Referred Renter received or had access to separate Referral Links from different referring parties. The Program can only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes.
Company uses the third-party payment platform, Extole ("Extole"), to process payments of Referral Bonuses for the Program. Program Participants will be required to establish an Extole account. By using Extole or by participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by Extole's Terms of Service. Further information about Extole and its services can be found at https://www.extole.com/.

You agree that the Company shall not be liable for any issues regarding financial and monetary transactions between you and any other party, including Extole.
The Program Participants will be responsible for any taxes or charges that may arise due to the earning and payout of the Referral Bonus.
Referring Owners and Referring Renters are prohibited from forwarding, sharing, or transmitting Referral Links in violation of applicable anti-spam laws. Each Referring Owner and Referring Renter will indemnify and hold the Company and the RVshare Group harmless, from and against any claims that may arise from any unlawful forwarding, sharing, or transmitting of the Referral Link.
With respect to the Program, Program Participants will: (i) not directly or indirectly (a) offer, promise, or give to any third party (including any governmental official or political party('s official, representative or candidate)), or (b) seek, accept, or get promised for itself of for another party, any gift, payment, reward, consideration, or benefit of any kind that would or could be construed as bribery or an illegal or corrupt practice, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws governing anti-bribery and corrupt gifts and practices (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Anti-Bribery Act).
The Company retains the right to, at its sole discretion, review a Program Participant’s compliance with the terms of the Program. We retain the right to investigate participation in the Program for any fraudulent activities and take any measures to end them.
