We get that renting out your RV can be both an exciting and scary decision — that’s why we go above and beyond to give you maximum protection when you share your rig with the world. From our Liability policy to our Comprehensive and Collision coverage, we’ve revolutionized insurance options to keep you covered when you rent with Outdoorsy.

Outdoorsy is the only peer-to-peer RV rental platform to provide commercial insurance for qualified guests and hosts renting on Outdoorsy when the host’s personal RV insurance would not apply.

How does it work?

Outdoorsy has partnered with Aviva and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (British Columbia only) to ensure the safety of our guests and hosts for qualified vehicles. Please note that any motorized unit or trailer with a salvage or rebuilt title history does not qualify for coverage. If the vehicle does not qualify for coverage, hosts can ask their guests to obtain an insurance binder from a third-party insurance company for securing Liability insurance.

Guests can choose between three levels of protection packages, which feature tiered deductibles. The guest is responsible for these deductibles, which can range from CAD $500 to CAD $1,500 for Liability and Comprehensive and Collision coverages in the event of a damage claim.

When does Outdoorsy’s coverage begin and end?

Outdoorsy offers episodic insurance, meaning that coverage lasts for the duration of the rental period that the guest books on our platform.

Coverage for guests goes into force when you hand the keys to an approved driver at the start of the approved booking dates and ends when that driver hands you the keys back at the end of the rental period or drops the vehicle and keys off at an agreed location.

What steps should be taken to be protected?

Hosts should ensure that the booking shows coverage is in place prior to each booking, that required pre- and post-trip photos are taken, and that keys are handed to a verified driver. During the booking process, guests will be asked for payment information, driver’s license information, and, in some cases, more background information so we can verify that you meet our eligibility and protection requirements. In most cases, the driver verification process is quick and easy. When you pass your driver verification and any additional background verification steps that are required, your protection will be activated and you will be covered from the moment you pick up the keys to the RV.

Outdoorsy’s Protection Packages cover vehicles for travel into the United States, but please confirm directly with the host before taking the vehicle across the border, as they will always have the final say on whether or not this is allowed. Our protection does not cover rentals that travel into Mexico.

As the host, will my personal RV insurance cover me during the rental period?

Your personal policy will cover your vehicle for your personal use but usually does not apply when your vehicle is being rented out. If they learn that you are renting, they might deny your claims or even drop your coverage entirely.

What happens if the vehicle gets damaged during a rental?

The road is a wonderful place to be, but every once in a while there are bumps along the way. As hard as we fight against this, there’s always that small chance that damage is caused to the vehicle.
