RVezy

Is RVezy worth it for RV owners?

RVezy is a peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace for owners in the U.S. and Canada. It takes a percentage of each confirmed booking and pays you around the start of the trip, not after it. For the general picture of renting out an RV, see renting out your RV.

RVezy host fees

RVezy says it charges nothing to list and takes its fee from each confirmed booking before your payout. The base fee applies to everything the guest pays you, add-ons and your preparation fee included. RVezy says the fee covers support, payment processing and commercial insurance.

How and when RVezy pays you

RVezy pays by direct deposit and names Stripe as its payment processor. Its help center and its owner page describe the timing differently: the help center ties the payout to the trip's start, the owner page to the trip being completed. RVezy doesn't publish a minimum payout or a faster payout option.

RVezy insurance and protection for owners

RVezy says it isn't an insurance company or broker and doesn't offer insurance for your RV. It provides access to third-party liability claim protection and physical damage protection plans. The U.S. liability policy is with Crum and Forster, and the renter stays financially responsible for damage during the rental.

RVezy says repair costs may be paid from the renter's security deposit, either side's personal insurance, protection plans the renter buys, insurance RVezy contracts, or reimbursement from RVezy. Covered events are collisions, vandalism, fire, theft and comprehensive events such as falling trees, windstorms and hail. RVezy's exclusions include normal wear and tear, mechanical failures, pre-existing damage, personal items and tires that are worn or old. For New York-registered RVs, RVezy says owners get a per-booking liability quote from Crum and Forster and that RVezy pays the cost. The owner page and the help center give different liability and damage limits; the rows below show both.

Once a claim is filed, RVezy says a claims advisor contacts you within 1-3 business days and makes the final coverage decision. Owners who opt in to the Payout Guarantee can recover income from bookings cancelled after covered damage; RVezy says to wait for the claims advisor and not cancel those bookings yourself.

How to become an RVezy host

You create an account, verify your identity, then list the RV with photos, pricing and calendar availability. RVezy won't publish the listing until your identity check passes. After listing you finish the insurance application, which asks for your driving history, registration photos and the name of your personal insurer, and connect your bank account.

How much RVezy hosts make

RVezy's owner page makes earnings claims worded two ways: an average per season and "up to" a figure per year on average per listing. They are RVezy's own marketing figures. RVezy doesn't publish how many owners they cover, what kind of RV or what share of nights it was booked.

Can RVezy suspend your account?

RVezy says it can suspend or permanently deactivate listings or accounts for repeated or severe violations. The behaviors it names are moving bookings or payments off RVezy, cancelling a booking to rebook elsewhere and requiring guests to use other apps. RVezy says a host cancellation may also bring a calendar block, an automated note on your listing and lower search ranking.

Is RVezy legit?

RVezy's help center describes it as a marketplace connecting RV owners and travelers in the U.S. and Canada, and says every host must verify identity before a listing publishes.

Scams that use the RVezy name

Taxes on RVezy income

RVezy says it applies state tax to its service fee in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington. It says U.S. hosts who meet IRS thresholds may get a Form 1099-K through Stripe, and that the form reports gross payments, so it shows what guests paid before RVezy's fee.

The IRS says a payment app or online marketplace must send a Form 1099-K when payments total over $20,000 in more than 200 transactions, though it may send one for lower amounts. The IRS also says you must report gig economy income on a tax return even without a form. See taxes on side income for how the rules work.
