Rent RV

I would not give this place 1 star but you have to select one to write the review. My family and I were super excited to go camping in a Class A RV. We were first timers and the nightmare begins before I can even get the RV home, which is only a 20 minute drive. When I get inside, yes it looks a little run down but not terrible. Then I notice the hot air blowing out of the vents but the AC is on. I asked Miguel several times and he said it works, you just need to drive it, its hot out today and the heat from the ground is making it hot. Then I ask about the leveling jacks. He states you won’t need them and really side stepped the obvious, they didn’t work either. Unfortunately, I found this out the hard way. When you are not on level ground everything is out of sorts (tank levels, water level, black and grey level). Then he shows me some wires and what looked to be a fuse, gerry rigged so the radio, slides, fans and who knows whatever else could work, but in order for the slide to work I had to pull the wires from the fuse box and then once the slides were out put them back in. The wires were so loose going down the road the fuse kept blowing, at one point sparks and smoke came from near the brake pedal. I ended up replacing the blown fuse 11 times. The list could go on. When I returned the RV I explained all the problems to Bob and he did nothing — yes nothing. Renters please beware of this business, it is not a safe place to rent any RV from. I plan to pursue several different types of complaints on this business. The BBB is first.

Wanted to rent a small motor home for a week but was concerned about the reviews. I sent an email asking about the negative reviews and Bruce was very good about replying and explaining things. Decided to go ahead with Rent RV and was not disappointed. Price was very competitive. Got the new 2015 Sunseeker and it was great. Took it on gravel roads to empty primitive campgrounds (just what I was looking for). Everything was simple and everyone easygoing. When I need to get out of the city and into the woods with some comfort, we’ll be back!

This was the worst experience I’ve had renting anything, ever. Firstly, there was no registration or owner identification material in the vehicle whatsoever. This was very concerning and there is no evidence that the vehicle was even legally registered. :-(when we arrived to return the vehicle Miguel was prolific with profanity and amazingly unprofessional. When we had the vehicle on our trip to the generator was clearly malfunctioning. There is plenty of fuel and propane vehicle with a generator would not stay on. Miguel nor his boss ever returned our phone calls to help troubleshoot the problem. Also, when we return to be a call it was cleaner than we had received it buy a significant measure. Miguel attempted to charge a $ 70 cleaning fee. Similarly when we picked up the vehicle the black and grey water were both two thirds full. We we returned the vehicle in black and grey water were still two thirds full. Miguel attempted to charge us a $ 50 dumping fee. Instead of arguing with him further we drove the vehicle back to Oregon City and dumped the tanks. After some further bickering he reluctantly agreed not to charge us the dump fee anyway. Lastly, we reserve the vehicle for one week. We only need the vehicle for 3 days. Miguel nor his boss were willing to apply the residual credits towards a future rental or just not charge a for the extra four days. This was shall we say disappointing. If you are looking to rent an RV or frankly anything for that matter I would run run run far away from this very shady shady shady shady shady shady shady establishment. Really, this place is so bad they need to be reported to the better business bureau. I think after writing this I just need to do that. :-(

Beware. I rented a travel trailer for a hunting trip and while their stuff is older I thought it’d be ok. On my way to eastern Oregon the wheel bearings blew out near the Dalles.
A big thank you to the one employee at Rent RV who picked up a replacement axle and drove it to the Les Schwab in the Dalles who was awesome enough to stay late to fix it. They offered to let me keep it a few extra days but when it got cold the lack of weather stripping made it impossible to stay warm.
When I returned it the owner barely said a word and his employee tried to say that with a fleet of 30 they can’t keep up on everything. I pointed out it’d saved them thousands if they’d spent the 5 minutes to check the bearings. I suspect Rent RV repacked the bearing themselves as Schwab said a missing cotter pin was the source of the failure. Schwab was nice enough to check the second axle and found its bearing pack was unsafe and fixed it. Rent RV did pay for the repairs without incident but I’d have expected nothing less.
They gave me a $ 100 credit but I don’t think I’d rent from them again. They have older trailers, don’t perform proper maintenance, didn’t include wheel blocks or blocks for the stabilizers, made excuses when it broke down, and I’m sure will ignore my suggestion to fix the worn weather stripping.
Guess they take the tact of fix it when it breaks and don’t bother with regular maintenance and inspections. It could have been much worse I’m sure, but an extra 5 minutes of preparation would have saved me 6 hours of frustration and trying to sleep with cold air pouring in everywhere.

STAY AWAY! This owner is running his fleet into the ground, extracting the last bit of life out of them. I rented a 26 foot Class C motorhome for 2 weeks and was extremely disappointed in its upkeep, contrary to my discussions with the owner when I sought the rental. The list goes on with what did not work well. The real disaster was that when I left with the unit the gray water discharge piping was GONE, broken off and they never knew it! I had to interrupt my vacation to find a repair place on the road and have it fixed prior to continuing the trip. So much for their statements that they empty the tanks prior to a new customer taking out an RV.
I have rented from other companies five other times and they all beat this place hands down. So stay away and go to a company that cares about its customers. I had not read other reviews on Unilocal before signing a contract. That was my mistake. Do not make it yours

I rented from here mostly because it was close to our house so it would be more convenient– but that turned out to be a big mistake. The price is the same as other rv companies around PDX but you pay for an older 2009 w/​over 100K miles that has many quirks and problems instead of the same $ somewhere else for a 2014. We were told that it had everything we needed for full hookups– the 1^st day I picked it up it was leaking BLACK water on my street– the neighbors were walking by and kids were asking what the smell was– it continued to leak sewage water wherever we went or stopped, gas stations, markets, RV sites… our first night camping we hooked the hose up to sewer only to find out it had two holes so sewage was squirting out of the sides of the poop tube everywhere!!! This is such a health and sanitation disaster… Thank God the RV campsite sold new poop tubes but they were Def marked up– paid 32 $ which is more than the RV site itself and that did not include the attachments =(the owner offered to reimburse me but then forgot to add it to my cleaning refund when he swiped my card– I said nevermind I will keep the hose and adapters I bought.- next issue: So in order to use air conditioning while driving you have to run the generator– well any bump in the road or railroad tracks ect would turn the generator off and someone would have to get up to start the generator back up… The hot and cold water handles in the shower are reversed… The screen door never shut correctly, and the passenger seat belt was a joke… we ended our trip a day early and had prepaid for our miles– we drove 200 miles less than what we paid fof anx rented a day early– they did not reimburse for either one of those=(whatch the movie RV. that is how this RV was=(the owner offered 100 $ toward another rental but I don’t plan to rent from * Rent RV LLC* again.

What a fun vacation! Motorhomes are the way to go if you don’t want to be stuck in a hotel somewhere. We really enjoyed being down by the lake instead of having to drive there. Also it was nice to have food in a fridge for the trip there, and a place to lay down when travelling. Loved it!
