Getting an RV delivered in Salt Lake City
Reviewed by Ben Kiser, RV rental operator and fleet consultant.
Roughly two in three owners here will bring the vehicle to an address you agree with them, so for most people the handover is a doorstep job rather than a drive across the valley. What none of them publish is the price.

What the market publishes, and what it does not
- 414
- of 610 listings offer delivery
- 60 miles
- median distance they will travel, across the 414 that publish one
- nothing
- published anywhere about what it costs
The distance is the useful half. A 60 mile median covers the whole valley, Ogden, Provo and Park City without argument, and 85 listings publish 200 miles or more, which reaches Moab. The price is the missing half, and it is missing everywhere: no marketplace rate card, no per-mile figure on the listing, nothing. The fee appears when you enter dates and an address, and until then the only honest thing anyone can tell you is to ask.
Where people have it dropped
There is no depot. The vehicle lives wherever its owner keeps it, so the drive it makes to reach you is the drive you are paying for. Starting from the area nearest your first day is usually cheaper than starting from the one nearest your house.

Questions about delivery
Usually, yes. 414 of the 610 listings measured within 50 miles of downtown offer delivery, which is 67.9 percent of the market. It is the owner's own service rather than a service of this site: they set the fee, the distance and whether they will drop at a campground or only at a street address.
414 listings publish how far they will travel, and the median is 60 miles, which covers the whole Salt Lake valley, Ogden, Provo and Park City. 85 of them publish 200 miles or more, which reaches Moab. That last group matters if you would rather start a Mighty 5 trip at the park than drive the first day, though you are paying somebody for a round trip of that distance.
Nobody publishes a rate card. Not the marketplace, and not any of the 414 listings that offer the service. The fee is quoted per listing once you enter dates and an address, so the only figure that exists is the one the owner gives you for your street. Get it in writing before you accept, because a delivery fee agreed after the booking is a fee you have no leverage on.
The turn, more often than the length. A cul-de-sac that will hold a motorhome parked will not always let one turn around, and the failure happens on the morning the trip starts, with the owner already back across the valley. Walk the approach to the drop address before you accept, and say plainly if the street is narrow, has low branches or has cars parked both sides.
Ask for your own address in writing
Filter for delivery on the listing, then give the owner the actual street before you book. A quote for the valley does not cover a canyon, and a fee agreed afterwards is one you cannot negotiate.
