Driving Tips
- Interstate speed limits are often 80 mph (129 km/h) outside urban areas, but expect 65 mph (105 km/h) inside the valley.
- I-15 and I-80 meet downtown and can have heavy traffic from 07:00 – 09:00 and 16:00 – 18:00.
- Cottonwood Canyons roads climb quickly to ski resorts. Road grades reach 8% and lanes are narrow.
- Utah's chain law can require snow chains or approved snow tyres on canyon roads when a flashing sign reads "Traction Law in Effect."
- Many fuel stations sell clear unleaded petrol (ethanol-free). This is useful for older RV generators.
- There are no electronic toll roads around Salt Lake City. Express lanes on I-15 need a transponder but motorhomes may stay in the general lanes at no cost.
- The valley sits at 4,300 ft (1,310 m). Drink extra water to avoid altitude headaches.

FAQs
What are the age requirements to rent an RV in the USA?
In the USA, most campervan rental companies require a minimum age between 21 and 25 years old. If you're younger, you might face extra fees or rules. Be sure to confirm the age policy with the rental company you choose.
Just enter your age in our search tool and we'll show you vehicles that fit your criteria.
Can I pick up my RV at the airport?
Many campervan rental companies in the USA are conveniently located at or near major airports. This allows you to easily pick up your campervan right after you land. Some companies even provide shuttle services from the airport to their rental sites.
What kind of license do I need to rent an RV in the USA?
In the USA, you usually just need a standard car driver's license from home to rent a campervan. Foreign licenses are fine if they're in English or come with an official English translation. If not, arrange for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to your regular license.
Are one-way RV rentals available in the USA?
Yes, you can rent a motorhome for a one-way trip in the USA. This means you can collect the motorhome in one city and return it in another. Keep in mind, though, that extra charges might apply for one-way rentals and availability can differ depending on the rental company and location.
