Cost of an RV Rental vs. a "Regular" Vacation"

Surely it doesn't make sense to rent an RV with gas costs so high? Yes, it does! Here's an example of the cost for a motorhome rental compared to a "drive and stay" holiday to Prince Edward Island, departing from Brighton, Ontario. For this example, we have made the following assumptions (actual costs may vary): Approx 1,600 kms each way plus 500 kms extra travel, a total of 3,700 Kms Trip duration: two weeks Motorhome gas consumption: 24 litres per 100 kms MiniVan gas consumption (or similar car): 11 litres per 100 kms RV rented from Brighton RV Rentals: 1000 kms free per week 2 adults, 2 children Cost of RV Gas 3700 kms @ 24 L/100 km@ $1.22/L $1083 Campsites 14 nights @ $30 $420 Meals 3 meals/day @ $17/meal (cooking in RV) $714 Extra mileage 1700 kms @ $0.20 $340   Sub-total $2557 PLUS: RV Rental Quotations available on request   Cost of Drive and Stay Gas 3700 kms @ 11 L/100 km@ $1.22/L $496 Motels 14 nights @ $75 $1050 Meals 3 meals/day @ $34/meal $1428   Total $2974 Other Considerations - why an RV is a better choice Known quality of accomodation in RV (no grungy motels) Known quality of cooking; healthier meals and able to accomodate dietary restrictions No packing and unpacking every day - no risk of lost items! Consistent "home" is less stressful for children If needed, free overnight parking at WalMart or Flying J locations Opportunity to explore countryside en route to destination No stress of looking for motels, restaurants, coffee shops - and bathrooms - everyday Comfort and convenience of a MotorHome………….PRICELESS! All of the above numbers are estimates only and Brighton RV Rentals will accept no responsibility for any actual or other variations. The above calculations do not include any motor home rental charges or any Minivan capital/leasing costs We suggest you do your own calculations and see how it works out ... but of course, you can't put a value on the stress you avoid by staying in an RV.
