Kyle was outstanding. I rented his RV through RVezy for my wedding day, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made. I wanted a comfortable, fun place for me and my groomsmen to hang out before the wedding, and Kyle completely delivered. He was enthusiastic about the idea from the beginning, very accommodating, and made me feel like he genuinely cared about helping make the day special. He drove about 1.5 hours to deliver the RV, arrived on time, communicated clearly the whole way, and even let me know when he was about an hour out. The RV was spotless, and he gave me a detailed walkthrough so I knew exactly how to use everything — audio, Bluetooth, A/C, bedrooms, propane, grill, all of it. On top of that, he went above and beyond by bringing a handmade cornhole set for us to use at no extra charge. That kind of thoughtfulness and customer service is rare. If you’re considering renting from Kyle, do it. He’s professional, reliable, generous, and clearly takes a lot of pride in giving people a great experience. I’d happily rent from him again.

Was perfect for our family trip to Louder than Life 2025! Drove like a dream, great on fuel mileage, and was so nice to come back every night to A/C and soft beds. Any questions I had the owner responded almost immediately and was so easy to deal with. Hope i convinced him to join us at LTL 2026. Would definitely recommend, 10/10, and will be renting him again in the future

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV in Saint Matthews, KY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Saint Matthews, KY?
RV rental in Saint Matthews is an affordable way to explore the Louisville area, especially for families. Motorhomes in the Louisville metro area average around $175 to $250 per night, while travel trailers and towable campers typically run $90 to $150 per night. Many hosts offer 10 to 20 percent off for weekly or monthly bookings, and shoulder-season trips in April or October often unlock the best deals. Looking for a cheap RV rental in Saint Matthews? Filter by price on RVezy, message hosts about midweek discounts, and consider a travel trailer over a Class A. Booking 6 to 8 weeks ahead of Kentucky Derby week typically beats last-minute pricing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Saint%20Matthews%2C%20KentuckyWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Saint Matthews, KY?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Saint Matthews, Kentucky. There's no special RV endorsement or Commercial Driver's License (CDL) required for any motorhome, campervan, or travel trailer on RVezy, no matter the size. You'll just need to be 25 or older and upload your license through the RVezy platform for a quick ID verification before pickup. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before you fly into Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, just 15 minutes from Saint Matthews. That's it. You're cleared to hit the Bluegrass Parkway.
drive.ky.gov/driver-licensing/Pages/default.aspxIs RV rental insurance and roadside assistance included for trips in Saint Matthews?
Yes, and this is one of the best parts of booking through RVezy. Every RV rental in Saint Matthews includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance built into your booking. The protection plan helps cover damages to the RV so you can drive through the rolling hills of Kentucky with real peace of mind. During checkout, you choose the protection level that fits your trip, so you stay in control of your coverage rather than relying on host-set terms. Add a quick walkthrough video with your host at pickup and you are set up for a worry-free Kentucky adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Saint Matthews RV booking?
Booking an RV in Saint Matthews is low-risk because RVezy sets and manages the cancellation policy across the platform, not the individual host. The policy depends on how far out from your trip you cancel, and there are protections built in for unexpected situations. Because the cancellation policy is not displayed inside individual listings, the easiest move is to review the current terms on the RVezy Help Center before you confirm your trip. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or offers travel credit so you can rebook with confidence. Support is available before, during, and after your trip if plans shift.
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 Saint Matthews?
Absolutely. A pet-friendly RV rental in Saint Matthews is easy to find on RVezy: just toggle the Pet Friendly filter when searching and you will see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) right in their listings. Saint Matthews is one of Louisville's most dog-loving suburbs. Take your pup to Beargrass Creek Trail, the off-leash dog run at nearby Cherokee Park, or grab a patio table at one of the dog-friendly spots along Shelbyville Road. Most KOA and private campgrounds in the Louisville area also allow leashed pets. Message your host before booking to confirm any breed or size notes.
louisvilleky.gov/government/parksCan the RV be delivered to me in Saint Matthews?
Yes, RV delivery in Saint Matthews is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will drive the RV straight to your driveway, your hotel, Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, or directly to your campsite at places like Louisville North Campground or Grandma's RV Camping. Once it arrives, the host levels it, hooks up utilities, and walks you through every system, from the awning to the water heater. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts who offer it along with their distance-based fees. It is the easiest way to skip city driving in the Louisville metro and start your trip stress-free.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Saint%20Matthews%2C%20KentuckyHow does mileage work, and how far can I drive from Saint Matthews?
Mileage is set by each host, and on RVezy you will find plenty of listings near Saint Matthews offering generous daily allotments, with some hosts offering RV rental with unlimited mileage for road-trippers. From Saint Matthews you are well placed: Mammoth Cave National Park is about 95 miles south, Red River Gorge is roughly 130 miles east, Nashville sits 175 miles south on I-65, the Great Smoky Mountains are around 350 miles southeast, and Cincinnati is just 100 miles up I-71 for a weekend pop-over. Check the listing's mileage policy before booking, then message the host if your route runs long. Most are happy to bundle extra miles into a custom quote.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Saint%20Matthews%2C%20KentuckyWhere are the best campgrounds near Saint Matthews, KY?
You've got fantastic options within 30 minutes of Saint Matthews. Louisville North Campground in Clarksville, Indiana sits right across the Ohio River with skyline views and full hookups. Grandma's RV Camping in Shepherdsville is a quiet, family-run favorite about 20 miles south. KOA Louisville Metro offers reliable amenities close to I-65, and Charlestown State Park (Indiana) is great for hookup sites with hiking trails just 20 miles north. Want a Bourbon Trail base camp? Try Little Patch of Heaven in Bardstown, about 40 miles southeast. Book sites 4 to 8 weeks ahead for Derby weekend, Forecastle, and Bourbon & Beyond festival dates. RV camping Saint Matthews style means city access plus serious nature within an hour.
parks.ky.gov/campingWhen is the best time of year for a Saint Matthews RV trip?
Saint Matthews shines from mid-April through late October, but the sweet spots are May and September through mid-October. Spring brings Derby Festival energy and dogwoods in bloom with highs in the 70s. Summer (June through August) is warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s, so look for an RV with strong air conditioning. Fall is the local favorite: crisp 60s and 70s, fiery sugar maples in Cherokee Park, and bourbon distillery tours at peak harvest. Winters are mild but unpredictable, with daytime highs in the 40s and occasional snow, so pick an RV with heated tanks if you are traveling December through February. Book early for Derby week in early May.
weather.gov/lmk/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving in the Louisville area?
Yes, you'll be just fine, and most first-time renters in Saint Matthews are surprised how quickly they settle in. Your host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, hookups, slide-outs, the generator, and dumping tanks. First time renting an RV? Pick a Class C motorhome or a small travel trailer to start, both drive like an oversized van or pickup. Stick to I-264 (the Watterson Expressway) and I-64 rather than narrow downtown streets, and avoid the low clearances under the railroad bridges on Mellwood and Bardstown Road. Better yet, ask the host to deliver. RVezy support and 24/7 roadside help are one tap away if you ever feel stuck.
transportation.ky.gov/Highway-Design/Pages/default.aspxWhat if something goes wrong during my Saint Matthews RV trip?
You are never on your own. Every RV rental in Saint Matthews on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering things like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. If something breaks inside the RV, your first call is the host, who knows their rig best and can usually troubleshoot in minutes. For anything bigger, RVezy's support team is reachable around the clock through the app. Save the roadside number to your phone before pickup and snap a photo of the RV's VIN and license plate, then go enjoy the Bourbon Trail knowing help is a quick call away from anywhere in Kentucky.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Saint Matthews?
An RV road trip from Saint Matthews puts some of America's best routes within easy reach. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail loops 90 to 130 miles through Bardstown, Frankfort, Lexington, and Loretto, with distillery RV parking at many stops. Mammoth Cave National Park is a quick 95-mile run south on I-65 for underground tours and surface trails. Red River Gorge sits about 130 miles east for sandstone arches and world-class hiking. Head 175 miles south for Nashville's music scene or 350 miles southeast to the Great Smoky Mountains. Cross-border trips into Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee are typically fine on RVezy rentals, but travel into Mexico is not permitted. Confirm any out-of-state plans with your host before booking.
kentuckytourism.com/bourbonWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect, and how much will gas cost?
Plan realistically and you'll stay on budget. Class A motorhomes average 7 to 10 miles per gallon, Class C motorhomes 10 to 14 mpg, campervans (Class B) 16 to 20 mpg, and most tow vehicles with a trailer land around 10 to 13 mpg. Kentucky gas prices typically run a bit below the national average, often $2.90 to $3.40 per gallon for regular unleaded in the Louisville metro. A 300-mile round trip to Mammoth Cave in a Class C will likely cost $80 to $110 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up off the interstate in Saint Matthews or Middletown before heading east toward Red River Gorge, where pumps are pricier and farther apart.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Saint Matthews?
Book early and you'll lock in the best spots. For Kentucky State Park campgrounds like General Butler, My Old Kentucky Home, and Taylorsville Lake, reservations open through the official Kentucky State Parks system and popular weekends fill up 3 to 6 months out. Mammoth Cave National Park sites can be reserved on Recreation.gov up to 6 months ahead and sell out fast May through October. For Derby Week (first weekend in May), Forecastle, and Bourbon & Beyond, book Louisville-area private campgrounds like Louisville North or KOA Louisville Metro 6 to 9 months ahead. Midweek stays are easier, often available a week out. Best campgrounds near Saint Matthews reward planners.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2991What are driving conditions like in and around Saint Matthews?
Driving in Saint Matthews is friendly for RVs once you know the basics. The town sits at the crossroads of I-264 (Watterson Expressway) and US 60 (Shelbyville Road), both wide and easy to navigate in a motorhome. Avoid the low railroad bridges on Mellwood Avenue and the narrow lanes through downtown Louisville's Whiskey Row. Watch for afternoon thunderstorms in summer and the occasional winter ice storm December through February. Rush hour on I-64 westbound into downtown crawls between 7 and 9 a.m., so head out mid-morning. Once you are on the Bluegrass Parkway or I-65 south, it is smooth, scenic, rolling-hill driving all the way to the Bourbon Trail or Mammoth Cave.
transportation.ky.gov/What amenities do local campgrounds offer, and where can I dump and fill up?
Campgrounds near Saint Matthews are well-equipped for full RV comfort. Most private parks like Louisville North Campground, Grandma's RV Camping, and KOA Louisville Metro offer full hookups (30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer at the site), Wi-Fi, laundry, and pools. Kentucky State Parks like Taylorsville Lake and General Butler typically offer electric and water at the site with a central dump station and bathhouse. Need to dump or fill water on the road? Pilot and Flying J locations along I-65 and I-64 offer dump stations for a small fee, and most KOAs allow non-guest dumping for around $15. Always top off fresh water before heading into the Daniel Boone National Forest.
parks.ky.gov/What's actually inside the RVs I can rent in Saint Matthews?
More than you would expect. A typical motorhome rental in Saint Matthews comes fully equipped: a queen or king bed, full kitchen with fridge, freezer, microwave, stove, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, dining area, climate-controlled air conditioning and furnace, and seatbelts for everyone riding. Most listings include a TV, many include Wi-Fi or a hotspot, and larger Class A and Class C rigs often have onboard generators for off-grid power. Campervan rental Saint Matthews options are great for couples wanting nimble Mercedes Sprinter style builds, while families usually love bunkhouse travel trailers. Every listing on RVezy shows exactly what is included, so you will know before you book if it sleeps 4 or 8.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Saint%20Matthews%2C%20KentuckyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in Saint Matthews offer a wide range of add-ons that make your trip easier. Common extras include bedding and linen packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits, camp chairs, outdoor grills, bike racks, generators, propane refills, and Wi-Fi hotspots. Many also offer dump and cleaning services so you can hand back the keys without lifting a hose. Pickup is typically at the host's home in or near Saint Matthews, Middletown, or Jeffersontown, but motorhome rental Saint Matthews delivery to Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport or directly to your campsite is widely available for a flat or per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary, so confirm daily allowance and overage rates with your host in the message thread before booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Saint%20Matthews%2C%20KentuckyHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book your RV rental in Kentucky on RVezy, your trip total is charged through the platform, so you never hand cash or a card to the host directly. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment, typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV type and host. As long as the RV is returned in the same condition (clean, tanks dumped if required, no damage beyond normal wear), the deposit is released back to your card after the trip. To avoid issues, do a quick video walkaround at pickup and dropoff with the host. That five-minute habit prevents most deposit disputes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I take my Saint Matthews RV rental across state lines or into Canada or Mexico?
Yes to nearby states. Saint Matthews sits right at the Indiana border, so crossing into Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, West Virginia, or Virginia is generally fine on RVezy rentals and a huge part of what makes Louisville such a great RV hub. Travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and insurance arrangement, so message the host directly before booking if you are dreaming of Niagara Falls or Toronto. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because insurance coverage does not extend there. Popular cross-border trips include Indiana's Brown County State Park (90 miles), Nashville (175 miles), and the Great Smokies straddling Tennessee and North Carolina.
