State guide
RV rental in Iowa
Nine RV rental outfits serve Iowa, and six of them will bring the rig to your driveway, which matters more here than in most states. The average rating sits at 4.5, so the field is solid without being spotless. Inventory leans toward travel trailers (3) and motorhomes (2), with one camper van listed. What you will not find is a one-way rental, so plan a loop. Iowa's rolling hills and river towns reward a slow trip, not a sprint.

What the Iowa fleet looks like
The mix is modest but usable: 2 motorhomes, 3 travel trailers, and 1 camper van, spread across 9 companies. If you want a van for weekend drives, Van.Hof.Wagons in Des Moines lists campervan and motorhome options and carries a 5.0 rating, though only 4 reviews back it up. Travel trailers are the easiest type to book, so tent campers moving up a grade have choices. Motorhome inventory is thinner, and summer weekends will drain it fast. Book weeks out for holiday weekends, and ask what the cancellation terms actually are before you pay a deposit. One-way rentals are not available anywhere in the state, so build your route as a circle back to the pickup lot.
Companies worth calling first
Zomer RV & Rentals leads on volume and score at 4.8 from 62 reviews, and it delivers to you and includes a kitchen setup. Van Ko Camper Rentals in the motorhome and travel trailer business rates 4.6 across 22 reviews, also with delivery. EZ RV Rentals holds a perfect 5.0 but on just 4 reviews, so treat that number lightly. AJ's Camper Rentals (4.6, 10 reviews) rents travel trailers with delivery. Iowa RV Rental (4.4, 10 reviews) is the one to call if you travel with a dog, since it lists pets along with delivery and insurance. Confirm the pet policy in writing anyway; rental companies vary on size limits and fees.
Money matters before you drive off
Nobody in the state quotes prices on this list, so budget for the extras that bite. Mileage caps are common on motorhomes and overage charges add up on a long loop through the Loess Hills or along the Mississippi. Generator hours are often metered separately; I once paid a surprise fee for running mine past the included allowance, so ask how the meter works. The security deposit comes back after inspection, usually minus cleaning or dump fees. Check whether your own auto policy or a card covers the rig, and what the rental company's insurance actually includes. Kitchen and linen kits are sometimes add-ons, sometimes standard, and delivery fees depend on distance from the lot.

Questions people ask
How many RV rental companies are in Iowa?
Nine companies are listed across the state, averaging a 4.5 rating. Six of them offer delivery to your location. Inventory includes 3 travel trailer outfits, 2 motorhome options, and 1 camper van listing, so the fleet is small but covers the main rental types.
Can I rent a camper van in Iowa?
Yes, one camper van listing appears on the list: Van.Hof.Wagons in Des Moines, which also rents motorhomes and carries a 5.0 rating from 4 reviews. Van inventory is thin, so reserve early if you want one for a summer weekend.
Do Iowa rentals allow pets?
Iowa RV Rental lists pets among its features, alongside delivery and insurance. That is the only pet-friendly listing shown here. Other companies may still allow animals, but ask directly about size limits, cleaning fees, and whether pets can ride unrestrained.
Can I pick up in one city and drop off in another?
No one-way rentals are listed in Iowa, so plan a round trip back to the pickup lot. That shapes your route: a loop through the Amana Colonies or down the Mississippi and back works better than a straight line across the state.
