RVshare Now Offering Free National or State Park Passes
AUSTIN, Texas and AKRON, Ohio – Today, RVshare, the largest community for RV owners and renters, announces the first-ever “Explore America’s Parks Promotion” ahead of the summer 2023 season, according to a press release from RVshare.
By giving away up to $500,000 in national and state park passes to those booking RVs through RVshare, the company is committed to encouraging awe-inspiring exploration of the country’s national and state parks.
After surveying customers and finding that two-thirds of RV renters are facing economic factors that have already hindered their summer travel plans, RVshare decided to launch “Explore America’s Parks” to help ensure restricted budgets don’t hold travelers back from experiencing the great outdoors.
RV travel is the cheaper alternative for families to enjoy a vacation together this summer.
“We took it upon ourselves to compare the costs of air travel to an RV rental for a family of four, and we found that after adding up flights, transportation, dining, and hotel accommodations, this vacation would cost nearly twice that of an RV rental, gas, groceries, and campground fees,” said RVshare’s Travel Expert, Maddi Bourgerie. “RV travel is the cheaper alternative for families to enjoy a vacation together this summer. So we added an additional perk by offering free National or State Park passes so families have one less expense to budget for.
Timed to the announcement of “Explore America’s Parks,” RVshare also has released “The Road Ahead”, the company’s quarterly guide highlighting insights, tips, and recommendations for every outdoor enthusiast. In this quarter’s issue, RVshare looks into travelers’ sentiments around rising costs and economic factors, forecasting the impact these challenges may have on the travel industry this summer. According to the recent survey data, almost half (45%) of travelers are looking for more affordable travel options, and yet, only 7 percent said they won’t be traveling at all due to these budget constraints.
According to a survey by Wakefield Research[2], 81% of parents report that they are likely to consider renting an RV for a future trip. With RV delivery up more than 43% year over year, families are excited to try out the hassle-free option of camping in an RV without driving the vehicle. In fact, 71% of users are more likely to consider an RV rental when the vehicle can be delivered to their destination, an amenity that RVshare offers for many rentals.
The Q2 2023 edition of”The Road Ahead” includes:
- Hot Destination Spotlight: Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina. The highlight includes activity and hiking recommendations from our friends at AllTrails, campground recommendations, and local RV rental options.
