Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
-
Playa dust is fine, alkaline, and gets everywhere. Even with windows and doors closed, dust will find its was through vents and seals in the RV. While you can’t fully prevent dust from getting inside the RV you can help by:
Using a high quality, low tack, painters tape to seal as many windows and vents as possible.
Keep windows and doors closed whenever possible.
Consider a "no shoes" rule inside to protect your RV.
Cover furniture with sheets.
-
No, cleaning is not included. While we understand that deep cleaning after the event can be challenging, renters are expected to return the RV in as clean condition as possible. For added convenience, post-playa cleaning is available as an optional add-on.
-
Due to the increased risk associated with RVs attending Burning Man, our rental insurance provider classifies the event as an unauthorized use under their terms of service. As a result, there is no coverage for the RV while it is on event grounds, and no coverage for event-related damage. This includes damage from playa dust (interior, exterior, mechanical, or electrical components) as well as vandalism.
If you take the RV to Burning Man, the insurance available through the rental platform provides liability-only coverage to and from the event so the vehicle remains road legal. In the event of a covered at-fault accident, only damage to other people’s property is covered. The RV itself is not covered, and liability coverage is limited to the state minimum requirements.
Because of these limitations, we strongly recommend purchasing coverage through a third-party provider to ensure full protection during your rental period. If you have a personal auto insurance policy, we suggest contacting your insurance agent to inquire about adding the RV to your policy. If you provide an insurance binder showing full coverage for the rental period, we are happy to remove the rental insurance and its associated charges.
If a full-coverage insurance binder is not provided, the security deposit will be increased to help protect against potential damage to the vehicle.
