Renting & Insuring a Tow Vehicle

Hi there,

I am resident in the UK and I am planning on renting a tow vehicle and travel trailer for a maximum of 2 weeks in California in summer 2015. I have found a company (Family RV of Morgan Hill) that can rent me both items, however they tell me that the tow vehicle will not be insured and that I need to provide my own insurance. My insurance company in the UK are not able to help me.

I'd be really grateful if there is anyone who can advise me:

- How I might go about insuring a rented tow vehicle given I am from outside the USA
- Are there any companies who will rent me a tow vehicle that IS insured to tow a travel trailer - ideally both items from the one supplier.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. I suspect that might be the case.

    We have rented a class C before, however we got a bit frustrated that we didn't have an separate vehicle for when we are set up on each campsite. And I'm pretty sure we won't find an RV firm that lets us tow a car! My wife is not willing to drive abroad, so we can't drive in convoy. But renting a class C is definitely our fallback option.

    I don't think you will be able to secure insurance. You should consider renting a class C motorhome from Cruise America.
