Below, check out RVs in the most popular destinations of 2025 so far, according to RVshare.
RV rental prices vary based on the type of RV, location, season and rental duration. Here's a general breakdown of how much the most popular types of RVs cost when booked through RVshare:
📍 Class A Motorhomes: Luxury on Wheels
Class A motorhomes are the largest and most luxurious RVs available, often resembling tour buses with their spacious interiors and high-end features. These motorhomes are ideal for families or travelers looking for a glamping experience, offering amenities like full kitchens, bathrooms, entertainment and even washer-dryers in some models.
Cost: In California, the average rental price for a Class A motorhome is around $275 to $300 per night, while in other popular cities, the average is closer to $250. Budget-conscious travelers can find options as low as $150 per night, while glampers can find premium rentals that go up to $700 per night.
📍 Class B Campervans: Compact and Adventure-Ready
Known as the #vanlife favorite, Class B campervans are the smallest self-contained RVs. They're easy to drive, fuel-efficient and surprisingly versatile—great for off-the-grid adventures, National Park hopping or weekend getaways.
Cost: Rental prices typically average around $200 per night in major cities, but deals can be found for under $100. On the higher end, luxury campervans can cost up to $350 per night.
📍 Class C Motorhomes: The Best of Both Worlds
Class C RVs offer a balance between the spaciousness of Class A and the maneuverability of Class B. Best known for their over-cab sleeping area, they're a popular choice for road trips, family vacations and travelers who want comfort without the bulk of a Class A.
Cost: Rental prices for Class C RVs generally range from $175 to $200 per night, with the most affordable options starting at around $100 and premium models reaching up to $400 per night.

Real estate investors say mid-term rentals are the 'sweet spot,' offering a way around Airbnb red tape and more cash flow than long-term rentals
When the COVID pandemic erased virtually all of Zeona McIntyre's Airbnb bookings, she found a solution in mid-term rentals. "I was really open to doing whatever I needed to get my properties rented," the Colorado-based property investor told Business Insider. She started listing her properties on Furnished Finder, which is geared toward traveling professionals and specializes in 30-day plus stays, and was surprised by the hit rate and relative ease of the process. "I realized there are tons of people looking all the time for longer stays — and longer stays are kind of awesome because people don't need as much from you. They're OK to go buy their own toilet paper and change the batteries because they're living there." What started as an attempt to combat Airbnb vacancies evolved into her preferred rental strategy. "My bread-and-butter is these mid-term rentals," said McIntyre, who is the author of " 30-Day Stay." "I want a longer tenant in there, and I don't want to have to think about it for three months." Massachusetts-based investor Dana Bull also pivoted to mid-term rentals, but for a different reason: to withstand rising interest rates. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate surged to 8% in 2023 and lingered in the 6s and 7s in 2024. Higher interest rates mean higher monthly payments, which can eat into an investor's cash flow. Bull has been renting to long-term tenants for more than a decade, but to make the numbers work on her most recent acquisition, a charming single-family home she found in 2023 and couldn't pass up, she turned to mid-term rentals, which she says are more time-intensive, but also more profitable. The 'sweet spot' of rentals Real estate investors tend to agree that, while long-term rentals can produce consistent, relatively passive income, these leases generate less revenue a month compared to short-term rentals. However, short-term rental properties present unique challenges, such as constant tenant turnover, managing multiple bookings, and ever-evolving country-specific rules and regulations. Then, there are mid-term rentals — or, the "sweet spot" of real-estate investing, according to McIntyre — which are properties listed for longer than 30 days but less than a year. In her experience, they're "a whole different vibe from short-term rentals and way less stressful." One major stressor she faced in hosting on Airbnb and VRBO was the evolving rules around permits and licenses. "Short-term rentals have been under scrutiny, and the ever-tightening regulations are constantly changing," she said. "But there is sort of this magic number that, as soon as a listing is over 30 days, these rentals get classified into a long-term rental bucket and then you don't have the extra taxes or have to have a short-term rental permit." That was a contributing factor in Manny Reyna's decision to incorporate mid-term rentals into his overall strategy. "Within San Antonio, you need an STR permit through the city," said Reyna, who rents two single-family homes and two tiny homes in the San Antonio metro. "The permit is $450 just to apply, and you have to pay county taxes and city taxes on the revenue. It's called a hotel tax, and it's really high." However, if you're listing a 30-day stay, "you don't necessarily have to worry about the STR taxes," said Reyna. "It's a little bit of a loophole, if you will. It's also a good middle ground, because the cash flow is higher than long-term rentals." That said, hosting mid-term stays will require upfront work. You're catering to a completely different customer, and leasing can be a challenge because mid-term rentals are less mainstream, explained Bull. "If you want a long-term rental, you know you're going to be on Zillow or work with a real-estate agent. If you want a short-term rental, you also have set channels: You have Airbnb, Vrbo." The equivalent for mid-term rentals is Furnished Finder, "but it's not very well known, and it's not nearly as big as something like Airbnb," she said. A hybrid approach While Reyna prefers mid-term tenants, he wants to cater to a broad customer base and still lists his properties on Airbnb, VRBO, Hipcamp, and Facebook Marketplace when there's a gap between mid-term tenants. "I try to do a shotgun approach to see who's going to bite first," he said. Seattle-based investor Peter Keane-Rivera also uses a hybrid model for his 70s-themed " Groovy Guest House," which he initially listed exclusively as a short-term vacation rental. He enjoys the work that goes into managing a short-term rental — "it does allow you to provide a unique service and really to have control over the quality of that service," he said — but offering 30-plus day stays will generate more consistent revenue during the slow season when people are traveling less. "In the summertime, it pulls in a lot — in June and July, I made almost $5,000 on a one-bedroom in the outskirts of Seattle," he said, referring to the Airbnb income. "But in the wintertime, there are lower margins. I'd rather get something closer to market rent rates, not have to worry about it for four to five months during the slowest seasons, and then spin it back up for spring, summer, and fall to maximize the return." Toggling between short- and mid-term rentals is "a real asset," he said, adding that if he expands to a second Airbnb unit, he'd use the same strategy. "For eight months out of the year, I'd run it as an Airbnb and then during the low season, run it as a mid-term rental."

FAA limits flights at Newark airport for the rest of 2025
June 7 (UPI) -- Arrivals and departures are limited for the rest of the year at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. The restrictions took effect on Friday and limit arrivals and departures to 28 per hour on weekends while airport construction occurs from Sept. 1 through Dec. 31, the Federal Aviation Administration announced on Friday. Arrivals and departures also are limited to no more than 34 per hour during other periods through Oct. 25. "The confirmed reduced rates will maintain safety while alleviating excessive flight delays at the airport due to staffing and equipment challenges," the FAA announcement says. "The early completion of runway construction at the airport that added to the delays will also contribute to a more efficient operation." Similar travel restrictions "paid dividends" by enabling "smooth travel into and out of Newark" over the Memorial Day holiday, according to the FAA. Officials at the federal agency recently met with airline representatives to discuss problems at the Newark airport that triggered long delays and flight cancellations that left many air passengers stranded for hours and sometimes longer. The discussions led to the current flight restrictions while undertaking several improvements at the airport and regionally. The FAA is working to improve operations at the Newark airport by adding three new high-bandwidth telecommunications links between New York-based hubs and the Philadelphia-based terminal radar approach control system for regional air traffic control. Old copper telecommunications connections will be replaced with fiber-optic technology for greater bandwidth and speed, and a temporary backup system to the Philadelphia-based TRACON system will be active while improvements are done. The FAA also is increasing air traffic controller staffing by adding 22 fully certified controllers and five fully certified supervisors at the Newark airport and others in the area. "The U.S. Department of Transportation and the FAA will continue working with all stakeholders to ensure that the airport is a safe, efficient and functional gateway for passengers and air crews," the FAA announcement says.

This Is the Only Stroller That Can Handle Disney World if You Have 2 Kids—Trust Me
Disney World is everything you could possibly dream of—magical, joyous, and yes, a little overwhelming, especially with two toddlers in tow. The amount of walking and waiting can quickly become exhausting, and I realized early on that the right stroller was key to making the experience enjoyable for everyone. If you're like me and thought a wagon would be perfect for Disney—think again. Disney doesn't allow wagons in the parks, which left me scrambling for alternatives. Our modular stroller? Way too bulky and not exactly travel-friendly. The lightweight travel stroller? Too small on storage and not nearly as comfy for the kids. Renting one at Disney? Hard pass. What I needed was something that balanced it all: easy to travel with, spacious enough to fit all our essentials, and comfortable for my toddlers. That's when I found Zoe Baby. More from SheKnows Delsey's Ultra-Chic & Durable Luggage Are on Major Sale During Their Early Memorial Day Getaway Event With two toddlers, we chose the Zoe Twin—and it's easy to see why it's a must-have for Disney adventures. With its perfect balance of size, storage, and comfort, it handles the demands of a busy day at the parks with ease. Whether it's gliding through crowds, providing shade and comfort for the kids, or offering plenty of space for all your essentials, this stroller truly has it all. Simply put, it's designed to make your Disney experience smoother, leaving you more time to enjoy the magic. Buy Now $529 $529 Buy Now $165 $165 After spending two full days in the parks with two toddlers, I picked up some stroller-specific wisdom that I wish I'd known ahead of time. So here it is: everything you need to know about taking a stroller to Disney—and why the Zoe made it all way easier. Disney's stroller rules are no joke. If your stroller's too wide or bulky, it's not getting through the gates. Thankfully, the Zoe Twin fits perfectly within Disney's stroller size guidelines—and it's impressively compact for a double. It zipped through crowded paths, fit in tight transportation lines, and slid through doorways without a problem. You have to break down your stroller on buses and monorails, and with the Zoe, that was a total breeze. We were in and out of transportation without making a scene (which is a parenting win at Disney, if you ask me). Disney days are long. There's walking, waiting, and walking some more. The Zoe Twin gave both kids a shaded, cushioned place to rest—and actually nap—which I didn't think would happen with all the excitement. The seats recline almost fully, and the canopies are long enough to provide full coverage, keeping them cool and shielded from the sun. Everyone stayed cool and comfortable even during that post-lunch meltdown window. And in Florida, where rain is practically a given, the Zoe rain cover kept them completely dry. And for me, the leather handle made a big difference. It's incredibly comfortable to grip, even after a long day of pushing them around the parks. Disney is full of things to look at, point to, and loudly narrate—and when both kids can sit side-by-side, no one misses a moment. With the Zoe Twin, my toddlers had the same view of the parades, characters, churro stands—you get it. And unlike modular strollers where one kid gets the 'backseat,' they could chat, laugh, and spot Mickey at the same time. Bonus? No kicking the back of the sibling's seat out of boredom or fighting over who gets the 'good spot.' Side-by-side kept the peace and doubled the fun. When you're packing for a day at Disney with toddlers, the gear and supplies can pile up quickly—snacks, water bottles, sunscreen, extra outfits, and of course, the inevitable souvenirs. Thankfully, the Zoe Twin offers surprisingly spacious underseat baskets, and if you opt for the Essential Bundle (trust me, you'll want to), you get two extra mesh side bags that strap on for even more storage. I was able to carry everything we needed without worrying about running out of space for a Mickey plush or bubble wand. And let's be real, what mom doesn't love a good parent organizer? The extra storage in the Twin was incredibly helpful, keeping everything within easy reach and neatly tucked away, so I could focus on enjoying the day instead of digging for snacks or sunscreen. If you're flying to Disney from out of state, the journey can feel like an adventure in itself. The Zoe Twin makes the whole process much easier. It folds up quickly and effortlessly, and the Essential Bundle comes with a handy travel bag to protect it during gate check. The bag doubles as a backpack, so you can throw it over your shoulders and keep your hands free for everything else. At Disney, strollers aren't allowed in ride queues or most food spots. Instead, you'll park in designated stroller areas—along with everyone else. And yes, it's as chaotic as it sounds. Do yourself a huge favor and make yours stand out. We added a cute, personalized sign to ours, and it saved us from a ton of 'where did we park this thing?' moments. Bright ribbon, a bold luggage tag, anything eye-catching will work. The goal: spot it fast and keep it moving. At the end of the day, a Disney vacation with little ones is all about comfort and convenience. The Zoe stroller delivers both in spades. It's light, it's compact, it's comfortable, and it's built for the hustle and bustle of Disney World. If you're heading to the parks with kids, this is definitely a stroller you'll want to have by your side.
