What you need to know about RV rental in New York

New York RV rental tips for the savvy traveller

When navigating New York City, keep in mind that it is made up of islands and waterways. Manhattan, at the center, is an island bordered by the Hudson River, East River and Harlem River. Bronx is situated on the mainland to the north, Brooklyn and Queens to the east on Long Island, and then Staten Island to the south. Manhattan Island and much of the surrounding area is off-limits to RVs, but you can still get very close to the action with some strategic planning.

Some driving pointers for your campervan rental New York road trip

  • Starting your NY RV rental road trip in one of the world’s most bustling cities can be intimidating but it doesn’t have to be. Plan your route in advance and arm yourself with an updated navigational system, as well as good old fashioned paper maps. We recommend that you organize your New York motorhome rental pick up for outside the main city center, park your RV in the suburbs, and utilize the public transport to explore the Big Apple until you head off to GoSee the rest of the state.
  • Get well acquainted with your vehicle long before you hit the highways of New York and don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you need to before getting behind the wheel. Your NY RV rental team is there to help.
  • Parking an RV in New York City is a nightmare, so avoid attempting this completely. People will get annoyed with you and it is rarely allowed for more than 24 hours. Map out the New York RV parks close to the city, like Liberty Harbor RV Park in New Jersey, and book your spot well in advance of your arrival.

From the iconic Statue of Liberty to the magnificent shows of Broadway, there are far too many attractions to list, but we’ll attempt at least a few.

Some must-see highlights for your New York RV trip include:

  • World’s hottest tickets - There is a wide variety of entertainment options in New York happening at all times, from year-round shows to annual parades and everything in between. Broadway musicals, sporting matches, live music, and an almost permanent merry-go-round of concerts. The biggest, splashiest events happen here and you can be part of the action.
  • Iconic landmarks - Get your walking shoes on and make your way to these famous cultural gems: One World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Times Square, Empire State Building, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Museum of Modern Art.

  • Bite the Big Apple - There is no one way to describe the food scene, other than all-encompassing! Any taste, diet, and budget can be accommodated. Some famous, must-try New York meals include pizza by the slice, bagels and lox, hot dogs from a street cart, deli sandwiches, and cheesecake.
