Motorhome Options:

Model Year Definition
Model Year is a standard industry-wide term employed by US automobile and motor home manufacturers to designate annually changing vehicle designs. 'Model Year' does not indicate the year in which a vehicle was manufactured. A 2019 design or 'model', for example, may be manufactured anytime during the 2018 or 2019 calendar year. The model year of an El Monte RV vehicle is always indicated on the vehicle registration.

El Monte RV Motor Homes
El Monte RV continuously strives to provide our international guests with the best possible motorhome product in the industry. To this end, we purchase units only from top RV manufacturers who make them to our higher-than-average specifications. All motorhomes are equipped with 110V generator, microwave oven, and modestly branded.

Motor Home Specifications
Motorhome photos, drawings and floor plans provided are examples only. Sleeping capacities are recommendations only and do not mean like number of adults or full-size teenagers can be accommodated comfortably within every unit of a size category. Features and amenities are representative and may be changed, added to or deleted without notice. Bed sizes vary from unit to unit within size categories and cannot be guaranteed. Specific floor plans or models will vary within a category and cannot be reserved or guaranteed.

Motor Home Lengths
Motorhome lengths will vary within each size category. Specific floor plans, models or lengths cannot be reserved or guaranteed. It is the wholesaler’s responsibility to explain clearly in their brochure/ program that motorhome category designations do not represent the exact length. For example, if you designate the Class C Slide-Out model as a Class C Family Sleeper [FS], the lengths within this category may range from 30 feet to over 32 feet.

Generator:

  • All motorhome unit types are outfitted with a 120 Volt generator
  • The use of the generator is not required for normal vehicle operation and guests have the option of being charged a perrental-night fee for unlimited use, or a per hour fee calculated upon return
  • Generator charges are payable at the counter
  • The generator is required for devices operating on 120V (e.g. roof AC, microwave) and the use of power outlets for charging phones, etc., when no electrical hook up is available
  • Prepaid generator charges upon vehicle return are non-refundablegenerator

Motorhome Collection:

  • To pick up their motorhome, the person who made the reservation must be present with the physical credit card that shows their name. If they plan to drive, they must also present their original driver’s license. If they are not driving, they need to provide another government- issued document to confirm their identity.

  • We reserve the right to deny a guest the motorhome if they appear to be unable to drive, such as if they are intoxicated or suspected of being under the influence of drugs.
  • If the main guest is not deemed fit to drive, they will not be listed on the rental agreement as a driver and will not be covered by insurance. However, the main guest remains fully responsible for the motorhome. If the main renter wants to be added as a driver, they must return to one of our branches at a later time to obtain an updated rental agreement.
  • Guests will select their pick-up time during online check-in. Only available time slots will show, and these are controlled by the branch and based on the operational schedule of the units.
    - Standard Pick up times are between 1pm and 4pm.
    - Subject to availability guests may be able to select an earlier pick up time during the online check-in. Guests who would like to arrange early pick up ahead of time we continue to offer the P.A.D. ( more information here)
    - As a FIFA World Cup Special we are happy to offer our Guests a later pick-up time for USD $350 between 16:00 and 19:00
    - Los Angeles: June 10, 2026
    - July 9, 2026 - San Francisco: June 10, 2026 - June 30, 2026
  • Guests are advised against turning up earlier than their scheduled arrival time. The arrival times are based on the pre booked pick up / drop off schedules and vehicle prepping and availability, therefore an early arrival is unlikely to result in an earlier than booked pick up slot.
  • Guests who arrive at the branch without having checked in, will be required to perform Check-in at the branch on a tablet device. Those who have already completed the check-in will be accommodated first.
  • On arrival at their branch:
    - Guests will verify their identity with their driving license.
    - They will process payment for the security deposit – payment only by credit card.
    - They will be taken to their RV to complete a vehicle walkthrough tour and a vehicle condition inspection.
    - If any additional Travel Extra items are required, these can be purchased prior to the completion of pick-up process.
    - A member of our Guest Services team will be on hand to help and answer any questions Guests may have during pick-up.

Motorhome Return:

  • RV Drop off takes around 15-30 minutes to complete, slightly longer if there has been an incident with the unit.
  • Guests will select their Drop-off time during Online Check-in.
    Standard Drop-off Times are between 8.00am and 11.00am (9.00am from 01 Oct - 31 Mar)
  • Guests will be able to select their preferred drop off time during online check in. Only available time slots will show, and these are controlled by the branch and based on the operational schedule of the units.

Online Guest Check-in:
We require our guests to complete the online self-check-in prior to the vehicle pick- up date at: elmonterv.sci.thlonline.com - Self Check-In opens 30 days prior to pick-up.

All guests are required to complete the online check-in process prior to pickup - Online Check-in is mandatory.

Guests will be asked for their driver’s information, to read and accept the Rental Agreement, Insurance Coverage, and other Important information. They will watch the vehicle walkthrough video so they do not need to watch this on the day of pick up and they will select their arrival time at the branch, their preferred drop off time and be able to select any additional travel extras they may want. This results in less administration at pick-up and means the guest needs less time at the branch.

Please be advised any credit card used for payments in the Online Check-In must be in the same name as the main renter.

  • Once Online Check-in is completed, you will receive an email summary Online Check-in, with a copy of your accepted documentation and links to the walkthrough videos, so you can watch the videos again if desired. Online Check-in is a simple process and takes up to 1 hour to complete.

Travel Restrictions:

  • Guests are restricted from traveling to certain regions due to road conditions, extreme weather, acts of God (‘force majeure’), security alerts and/or availability of support
  • Restrictions are subject to change without notice and are determined solely by El Monte RV
  • Guests are responsible for knowing and adhering to the travel restrictions and for informing themselves of possible changing conditions
  • El Monte RV, to the best of its ability, will provide guests as much information at time of pick-up as possible, but is not liable for any delays or detours guest may encounter
  • Violation of these travel restrictions voids insurance and coverage options under the terms and conditions of the rental contract and guest will be held responsible for accidents, mechanical breakdowns and thefts occurring in a restricted travel area.

    Please note the following restrictions: 
     
  • Off-road: travel on non-public, unpaved and/or ‘logging’ roads is not permitted at any time
     
  • Death Valley: traveling in or traversing Death Valley is not permitted in June 1 to September 30 where ground temperatures can reach 140º F or 60º C and guests may be required to sign and acknowledge Death Valley restrictions on pick-up
     
  • Mexico: travel is permitted at guest’s own risk and only with the purchase of El Monte RV’s Mexico Auto Liability Insurance (MALI), available at all southwest locations
     
  • Note: there is no reimbursement for repairs, lost use or deductibles for damage when in Mexico
     
  • New York City / Manhattan: travel is not permitted
     
  • Alaska / Northern Canada: travel is permitted at guest’s own risk but there is no reimbursement for repairs or lost use
     
  • Winter: Travel during winter months is permitted. However, freezing conditions may occur in spring and fall at higher elevations and should be anticipated and precautionary measures taken. Guests are responsible for any damage due to systems freezing due to cold weather. As a precautionary measure at certain locations water may be replaced by antifreeze to prevent water systems from freezing.

    Guests are then not allowed to use any water systems, including the toilet or shower, until they have traveled to areas with consistently above zero temperatures. In the event the guests want to replace the anti-freeze with water, they may re- winterize or de-winterize the vehicles with the help of an expert.
     
  • Note: Winterizing or de-winterizing costs - typically up to USD $150 - are the responsibility of the guest
     
  • Summer: Travel in summer months and/or in extreme temperatures can strain motorhome systems such as roof and dash air conditioners, generator and refrigerator.

Roof A/C units will only cool the interior of the motorhome up to a maximum of 20 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the outside temperature.

Traffic Citations and Tolls:

  • The guest is responsible for all traffic violations, fines, and/or citations incurred during the rental period. Guests will also be responsible for each induvial toll charge unless they have purchased our Unlimited Toll Product.
  • A third party vendor will integrate with toll authorities to pay the tolls immediately, eliminating the need for paper invoices. This means guests will not have the option to pay online. It is becoming increasingly difficult for guest to pay online for vehicles owned by rental companies, so it is important the guests understand the risk if they decline the unlimited tolls product.
  • Traffic Citations: Guests may either pay the traffic citation directly to the ticketing authority or provide the citation to the rental office upon return for processing and payment. Guests are responsible for the full amount of the citation including any late fees and will be charged a USD $50 administrative processing fee per citation.

Please note that vehicle substitution does not entitle the guest to any additional compensation beyond the refund mentioned above.

 
Shortening of Rental Period:
If a renter shortens their hire period by more than a week - it may be treated as a cancellation of the whole booking and a re-booking. This depends on when the amendment takes place and how many days of hire are being cancelled. Please ensure you always have travel insurance in place.
