My wife and I both want to thank Juan for making the start of our camper trip great. Juan met with us and introduced himself, he had the camper already set up for preview and gave us a detailed tour of the camper, including sanitation,and instrumentation. We then went over the paperwork and everything went smoothly. I can honestly say it was a pleasure dealing with Juan. Our trip in itself was great as we took off to see Americana covering from Florida to Iowa and back. It was beautiful country, and the people were very pleasant. Just to see those beautiful cornfields for miles in rows humble you. God bless our farmers. The camper itself ran smoothly with no mechanical failures or concerns. The vehicle is well maintained. Now for the negative. I may have lost or had stolen off the vehicle three hubcaps. Lesson learned: equipment security is important and a check should be done periodically. When checking tires make sure you hubcaps are there. My overall evaluation is that I would gladly do business with Juan again. I know I could count on him and His Sunseeker camper. Thanks again Juan We appreciate you.

Blake and Heather are wonderful to work with! The RV was delivered ahead of schedule and Blake took his time to walk us through everything we needed to know. The RV was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for camping. The kids liked it so much, they didn't want to leave the campsite. Thank you for being apart of our camping weekend!!

What a great host! Jerry was the man! He is such a nice nice fella. He went above and beyond.The world would be such a better place if more people tried a little harder to go a little more out of their way to make people stay great. The trailer worked great. The AC was cold and I appreciated that as it was out. At the end, Jerry is a top-notch fella and I hope that you contact him and ask him how your website can be better and offering better service. He’s an older fella and you young pups on the Internet need to learn something from the old timers.!!!!!

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV in Urbandale, IA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Urbandale, IA?
RV rental in Urbandale is affordable compared to coastal metros, making it a great launch point for a Midwest road trip. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run about $100 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes average $175 to $250 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes range from $225 to $350 per night, with many hosts offering weekly or monthly discounts. To find a cheap RV rental in Urbandale, filter by price, consider mid-week pickups, and book 4 to 8 weeks ahead for summer dates. Shoulder months like late May and September often deliver the best balance of price and weather for an Iowa trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Urbandale,%20IowaDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Urbandale, Iowa?
Good news: a standard Class C (regular) Iowa driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Urbandale, Iowa, and out-of-state and Canadian licenses work the same way. Iowa law does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for motorhomes or trailers used recreationally, so you can drive a Class A, Class C, campervan, or fifth wheel with the license already in your wallet. You'll just need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right in the app before pickup. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home license and you're set to roll.
iowadot.gov/drivers-licenses-ids/get-or-renew-drivers-licenses-ids-permits/drivers-license-types-restrictions-endorsementsWhat protection and roadside support is included with my Urbandale RV rental?
Every RV rental in Urbandale booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head out on I-80 or Highway 141 with peace of mind. Protection plans cover physical damage to the RV, and you choose the coverage level that fits your trip at checkout. If you get a flat near Saylorville Lake or need a jump at Walnut Woods State Park, one call to RVezy roadside dispatches help. It is not traditional auto insurance, but it removes the biggest worries for first-time renters so you can focus on the trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Urbandale RV rental?
Plans change, and RVezy is built to flex with you. RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every booking (not the host), and there is a free cancellation window right after booking so you can lock in dates with confidence. After that window, refund amounts depend on how far out from your trip you cancel. You will see the full policy at checkout and in your trip details before you confirm. Tip: message the host with any questions before booking, then reserve early to grab the best rigs for Iowa State Fair week and other peak dates.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Urbandale?
Yes, traveling with your dog is one of the best parts of an Urbandale RV trip. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see hosts who welcome pets, and check the listing for any size or breed notes. Once you are rolling, Urbandale is dog-friendly: Walker Johnston Park has a fenced off-leash dog park, and Walnut Woods State Park just south of town allows leashed pets on its trails along the Raccoon River. Saylorville Lake's Prairie Flower and Cherry Glen campgrounds also welcome leashed pets. Pack a tie-out, water bowl, and current vaccination records and you are road-ready.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Urbandale,%20IowaCan the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in Urbandale?
Yes, RV delivery in Urbandale is one of the easiest ways to start a trip, especially if you are new to driving a big rig. Many RVezy hosts will deliver and set up the RV at Des Moines West KOA in Adel, Cherry Glen or Prairie Flower at Saylorville Lake, Jester Park, or your own driveway, then walk you through every system before they leave. Use the Delivery filter when searching and enter your destination address to see hosts who serve that location. Delivery fees vary by distance, but for first-time renters or families flying into Des Moines International Airport, it is well worth it.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Urbandale,%20IowaHow far can I drive on an Urbandale RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You have the whole heartland at your doorstep from Urbandale, and mileage allowances are set per listing so you can match the rig to your route. Many hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per day, and you can filter for an RV rental with unlimited mileage if you are planning a long road trip from Urbandale. Popular runs include Okoboji and the Iowa Great Lakes (about 200 miles north), the Mississippi River bluffs at Dubuque (about 180 miles east), Hannibal, Missouri (about 230 miles south), and the Black Hills of South Dakota (about 575 miles west). Estimate your total miles before booking so you can compare true trip costs.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Urbandale,%20IowaWhere are the best campgrounds near Urbandale, IA?
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping near Urbandale. Top picks include Cherry Glen and Prairie Flower at Saylorville Lake (US Army Corps of Engineers, about 15 minutes north, electric sites with lake access), Jester Park Campground in Granger (electric hookups, bison and elk herd, equestrian trails), Walnut Woods State Park along the Raccoon River (modern electric sites, year-round reservations), Timberline Campground in Waukee (full hookups just off I-80), and Des Moines West KOA Holiday in Adel (pool, cabins, family activities). For the Iowa State Fair, the on-site campground at the fairgrounds in Des Moines is a bucket-list stay each August.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2733When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Urbandale?
Late April through mid-October is prime time for an Urbandale RV trip, with the sweet spot from June through early September when daytime highs typically sit in the upper 70s to mid 80s F and Iowa's lakes are warm enough to swim. Spring brings wildflowers at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge but also thunderstorms, while fall delivers crisp 60 to 70 F afternoons and great color along the Raccoon River Valley Trail. Most Iowa state park shower buildings and dump stations are open roughly May 1 through mid-October. Tip: aim for late September after Labor Day for warm days, smaller crowds, and a perfectly timed visit to Madison County's covered bridges.
weather.gov/dmx/Is winter RV camping in Urbandale possible?
Yes, winter RV trips around Urbandale are doable for those who love quiet trails and frozen-lake sunsets. Walnut Woods State Park accepts campground reservations year-round, and select private parks like Timberline keep some sites open. Most Iowa state park water hookups and shower buildings shut down from roughly November 1 through April 15, so look for RVezy listings with heated tanks, enclosed underbellies, and a working furnace, and plan to fill fresh water before you leave Urbandale. Tip: ask your host about cold-weather prep during the walkthrough, pack extra propane, and pair the trip with holiday lights and ice skating around the Des Moines metro.
iowadnr.gov/Places-to-Go/State-ParksWhat if I have never driven an RV before?
First time renting an RV? You are in great shape starting from Urbandale. Every RVezy host gives a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering the dashboard, leveling, hookups, slide-outs, and waste tanks, and they are a text away during your trip. Urbandale's wide suburban streets and the flat, straight stretches of I-35 and I-80 make for a forgiving warm-up before you head to bigger destinations. If you are nervous about backing in or driving through downtown Des Moines, choose a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental in Urbandale, or book a host who offers delivery so the rig is parked and leveled when you arrive. Confidence builds fast once you are rolling.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my trip?
Help is just a phone call away, day or night. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering things like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing across Iowa and surrounding states. If something goes sideways on Highway 141, near Saylorville Dam, or on a back road through Madison County, call the number in your RVezy trip details and a dispatcher coordinates the nearest service provider. You can also message your host directly through the app since they know the rig best. RVezy support is available before, during, and after your trip to help keep your Iowa adventure on track.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Urbandale RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Interstate road trips are not just allowed, they are encouraged. From Urbandale you can easily cross into Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, and South Dakota with your RV rental. Travel into Canada may be possible with some hosts, but message the host before booking to confirm and to make sure protection coverage applies for cross-border travel. One firm rule across RVezy: travel into Mexico is not permitted because insurance coverage does not extend south of the border. Popular cross-state runs include the Badlands (about 9 hours west) and Wisconsin Dells (about 5 hours northeast).
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for an Iowa RV trip?
Iowa's flat-to-rolling terrain is friendly to your fuel tank, which keeps the budget realistic. Expect roughly 7 to 10 MPG for a Class A motorhome, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, 15 to 20 MPG for a campervan (Class B), and 10 to 15 MPG for a truck towing a travel trailer or fifth wheel. Gas prices in the Des Moines metro typically run a bit below the national average, with cheaper fill-ups at Costco in Clive and Casey's locations across town. Tip: drive 60 to 62 mph on I-80, use cruise control, and plan fuel stops in advance to save 10 to 15 percent on a week-long Urbandale RV trip.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campsite near Urbandale?
Booking ahead is the single best move for a smooth Iowa RV trip. Iowa state parks (including Walnut Woods and Ledges) take reservations up to 3 months in advance through the Iowa DNR reservation portal, and weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day fill quickly. Saylorville Lake's Cherry Glen and Prairie Flower campgrounds are booked through Recreation.gov on a 6-month rolling window. Private parks like Timberline and Des Moines West KOA accept reservations even earlier. Tip: for Iowa State Fair week in mid-August or RAGBRAI overnight towns, book the moment your window opens.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2733What are local driving conditions like around Urbandale?
Driving an RV around Urbandale is about as low-stress as Midwest road trips get. Most of the metro features wide lanes, gentle grades, and easy interstate access via I-35, I-80, and I-235, with 65 to 70 mph speed limits on the interstates. Watch for summer thunderstorms with high winds (pull off at a rest stop until they pass) and occasional tornado watches in spring; the National Weather Service Des Moines office posts real-time alerts. Avoid taking large Class A rigs through downtown Des Moines at rush hour, instead loop around on I-80 and I-35. Tip: the Mixmaster interchange (I-235/I-35/I-80) is best avoided 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
weather.gov/dmx/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Urbandale?
Central Iowa campgrounds are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Most full-service sites at Timberline and Des Moines West KOA offer 30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer hookups, while Saylorville Lake and Jester Park typically offer electric with shared water fill and dump stations. Modern shower houses, flush toilets, and dump stations are standard from May through mid-October. Walnut Woods State Park has paved pull-throughs and year-round electric. Most state park dump stations are free for registered campers, and many Casey's and Love's travel centers along I-80 also offer dump and water services. Tip: download the AllStays or Sanidumps app to find facilities along your route.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2733What features and amenities will my Urbandale RV rental have inside?
You will be amazed at how much living space these rigs pack in. A typical motorhome rental in Urbandale includes a queen bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds (sleeping 4 to 8), a full kitchen with fridge and freezer, propane stove and microwave, a bathroom with shower and toilet, roof air conditioning, furnace, and an awning for shady afternoons at Lake Red Rock. Many listings also feature solar panels, generators for boondocking, outdoor speakers, backup cameras, and Wi-Fi boosters. Seatbelted seats vary by rig (important for family trips), so check the listing's sleeps and seats counts. Use RVezy filters to match your must-haves for a family RV trip in Urbandale.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Urbandale,%20IowaWhat add-ons and options can I include with my Urbandale RV rental?
Hosts make it easy to customize your trip. Common RVezy add-ons in Urbandale include linen and towel packages, kitchen kits with pots, pans, and dishes, camping chairs and tables, bikes, generators, propane fills, and pre-stocked firewood. Pickup is usually at the host's home in the Des Moines metro, but many hosts will deliver to Saylorville Lake, Jester Park, or your driveway for a per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, often with 100 to 150 free miles per day and the option to pre-purchase additional miles at a discount. Tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen package on your first booking so you arrive to a campground-ready rig.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Urbandale,%20IowaHow do payments and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Paying for your Urbandale RV rental is straightforward and fully handled on the RVezy platform, with no cash or off-platform transfers. You pay the rental total (plus any add-ons and the protection plan you select) by credit or debit card when you book, and a refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card a few days before pickup. As long as you return the RV on time, clean, with the agreed fuel and propane levels, and without damage, the hold is released after the trip. Tip: take date-stamped photos and a quick walkaround video at pickup and dropoff to keep the deposit return smooth and stress-free.
