Many visitors are drawn to Indianapolis because of the world-famous Formula 1 racing event, The Indy 500, and other sporting events. Others come to the capitol of Indiana as a gateway to some of the country’s most unique and accessible natural attractions.

Nature lovers spread out from Indianapolis to visit Indiana Dunes State Park, the trails at Turkey Run State Park, or to take in 10,750-acre Monroe Lake. Whether it is renting an RV for the race or needing a home on wheels to discover everything Indianapolis and its surroundings can offer there are plenty of options. To help you find the best camper rental, we’ve selected what we consider the best RV rental agencies based in Indianapolis. Here are our picks.
Outdoorsy
Outdoorsy is a peer-to-peer marketplace that invites RV owners to advertise and rent their vehicles to people needing a short-term rental. Vehicles come in multiple sizes and styles, from 2-person trailers to much more spacious vehicles that can sleep larger groups. One big advantage of booking an RV through a company like Outdoorsy is the cheaper deals over normal rental agencies. When we searched for RVs in Indianapolis, we found numerous options available for pick-up across the area. To go big rent this tailgate friendly 2008 Fleetwood Terra Class A RV. With bunk beds and slide-outs this unit easily sleeps eight and can keep everyone entertained with four smart TVs. This hotel room on wheels rents for $2,094 per week plus fees and insurance. For a small RV rental in Indianapolis Outdoorsy has plenty of options like a futuristic nuCamp TAB. This iconic teardrop-shaped trailer is perfect for the traveling couple and is equipped with an indoor and outdoor shower, modern entertainment devices, and a minimalist kitchen. This TAB rents for $612 per week plus fees and insurance.
RV Share
A similar rental service is RVshare where owners can list their RVs and renters can search from locations throughout the US. The website offers a variety of tips, destination guides, and helpful articles dedicated to enjoying travel by recreation vehicle. When we searched for RVs in Indianapolis, the results turned up many options available for pick-up across the area. To ease some of the fuel cost a lite trailer is made to be a little easier to tow, like the 2017 Forest River Vibe Extreme Lite. The 13 ft. trailer has all the at-home amenities of a drivable RV without the engine, including entertainment amenities, kitchen and bathrooms, and a slide-out for extra space for $720 per week plus fees and insurance. For a small RV rental we found a perfect setup for tailgating, a beer-wrapped 2014 Little Guy Worldwide. This travel trailer sleeps two and comes with an optional generator package for $480 plus fees and insurance per week.
