Meacham’s RV rentals are the official RV Rentals vendor for Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. Therefore, if you're planning on heading to Disney during your time in Orlando (which you definitely should) they might be a great company to pick!
They also have a “pick up and set up” service meaning they will pick you up or meet you at your first chosen campsite and they will have you all set up and ready for your stays.
The only downside to Meacham’s is that you can't take these vehicles on the road with you so if you're wanting to travel to heaps of other places in Florida they might not be the best option.
However, if you're only wanting to stay in one or two places, they do all the heavy work for you and your accommodation will be set up awaiting your arrival.
Meacham’s has tons of vehicles on offer all ranging in sizes, some sleeping up to 10 people!
Since you don't have to worry about moving the RV yourself, you can pick an RV as large as you'd like so you can comfortably fit your whole family - including fluffy friends!
Renting an RV in Orlando is easily the most cost-efficient way to travel around the city and Florida in general.
Hotels can be really expensive here, especially because of their proximity to Disneyland and you really need a vehicle to get around the city.
By renting your own RV, you're not only saving on transport costs but also accommodation as there are plenty of affordable and even free campsites in Orlando, depending on who you rent your RV through.
You can easily rent a basic campervan for around $100 a night but for a larger vehicle that sleeps more people, you can expect to pay anything up to $300 per night. Usually, rental companies will have lower prices for longer trips so that's worth considering and looking out for.
You typically have to be at least 21 years old with a full driver’s license to be able to rent a RV in Orlando and the US in general.
Some companies will only rent to people that are 25+ while others will charge an extra fee for young drivers aged 21-25.
Absolutely!
Not only will you be saving money on hotel prices but you also have the freedom to explore Orlando and the rest of Florida at your own pace.
From Disneyland to the Alafia River State Park, there is so much to explore in the area and you will not regret renting an RV to do so!
Honestly, hiring an RV is one of our top travel tips if you're looking to cut your costs as you'll have a bed for the night and kitchen facilities to do your own cooking.
As you can see, there are plenty of options when it comes to Orlando RV rentals!
Whether you're looking for a quirky campervan or a large motorhome, you'll find plenty of rental options in this popular city.
Now you've got your vehicle sorted it's time to plan your trip!
Of course, the most popular thing to do in Orlando is to hit the theme parks, whether that be Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Studios, or Legoland!
After hitting the rides, spend some time exploring the city and then why not take a road trip through the rest of Florida?
There are some fantastic places to visit in the 'Sunshine State' like Everglades National Park, Florida Keys, Blue Spring State Park, and Dry Tortugas National Park.
Lastly, there's a wealth of cities on offer too including Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, and St. Petersburg. So what are you waiting for?
