Class A RV Rental in Salt Lake City

Reviewed by Ben Kiser, RV rental operator and fleet consultant.

A Class A is the bus-shaped motorhome, the largest thing you can drive on an ordinary Utah licence, and it suits a group of six or more who want a separate bedroom, a full bathroom and a kitchen you can stand up in. Thirty-seven were listed within 50 miles of downtown Salt Lake City on 18 September 2026, from $100 to $1,795 a night, median $286, the highest median of any class here.

What you get in a Class A RV

Also listed as a Class A motorhome. Every count below is what the hosts in this market publish on their own listings, measured 18 September 2026. A host who publishes nothing is counted as publishing nothing, so confirm anything that decides the trip on the listing itself.

Sleeping capacity

Four to ten, median seven. Of the 37 listed here, 34 sleep six or more, and all 37 sleep four or more.

Length

27 ft to 43 ft, median 34 ft. Every one of the 37 publishes a length.

Licence

No special licence. Utah Code 53-3-102(3) makes a Class D licence the one for motor vehicles that are not commercial vehicles or motorcycles, and 53-3-102(7)(b)(iv) keeps a recreational vehicle driven as a personal conveyance out of the commercial definition. Utah has no non-commercial Class A or B licence; those letters exist only as CDL classes. There is a tension in Utah's own sources worth knowing before you book something heavy: the Utah Driver Handbook 2026 says a Class D licence covers personal vehicles up to 26,000 pounds, a ceiling the statute's RV exemption does not carry, and Utah publishes no sentence saying a personal motorhome above that weight may be driven on a Class D licence. Ask the Driver License Division rather than assuming either reading.

What it is like to drive

Wide, tall and long, with a flat front that puts you ahead of the front wheels and changes where you start a turn. The bars that bind it in Utah are Zion's 35 ft 9 in length and 7 ft 10 in width, both measured with mirrors and roof fittings included, and Bryce Point Road which closes to anything over 20 ft.

What is aboard

  • A toilet and an inside shower on 36 of the 37 listed here
  • An outside shower on 19
  • A kitchen sink, stove and refrigerator on 36, a microwave on 35
  • A separate bedroom and slide-outs on most units
  • Air conditioning on 36 and a heater on 36
  • An onboard generator on all 37, solar on 12
  • Median published fresh water tank 72 gallons, the largest of the drivable classes, from the 20 that publish one
  • No campground inside a Utah national park has a full hookup, so those tanks are the plan

Who it suits

  • A group of six or more who need a separate bedroom rather than a converted dinette
  • A long stay in one place, where the 30 day tax line and a monthly rate both start to matter
  • Renters who want the tax exemption, which 22 of the 27 publishing a GVWR here qualify for

Every listing sets its own inventory. Confirm on the listing rather than assuming any of this is present on the unit you book.

The tax, and the day it stops

A Class A is a motor vehicle, so the 2.5 percent state and 7 percent county rental tax apply on top of 8.45 percent sales tax, unless the rental runs 30 consecutive days or the GVWR is 14,001 lbs or more. 22 of the 27 publishing a GVWR here are.

Utah Code 59-12-102(135) defines a short-term rental as less than 30 consecutive days, so at 30 consecutive days the rental tax stops applying. It is a definition rather than a discount, which is why a 29 night booking and a 30 night booking are not the same shape of bill. Only 4.6 percent of the 610 listings measured on 18 September 2026 accept a long term booking at all, so the cliff is only reachable on a small part of the market.

Work a real trip through the cost calculator

Class A RV units available now

These come straight from the marketplace, so the set changes between visits. They are published by their owners and booked on the marketplace that published them. This site holds no vehicles and takes no bookings.

Which of these clear the tightest park limits

1 of the 1 listed below publish a length, counted here against the three published bars that turn a vehicle around outright:

Length only. Zion also enforces 7 ft 10 in of width and 11 ft 4 in of height, and 80 of the 610 listings in this market publish a width. Ask the host for both in writing.

Some links on this page are affiliate links. A booking made after following one earns this site a commission from the marketplace. The commission is paid by the marketplace, adds nothing to your price, and does not change which listings appear here.

Where a Class A RV can go

The limits below are the ones that bind this class, and each links to the park page carrying the quote and the agency URL. Length is the only dimension a listing reliably publishes. Zion measures width and height as well, and what that does to a booking is set out on the home page.

  • Zion

    15 of the 37 are over the 35 ft 9 in limit. The permit was abolished on 7 June 2026, so there is nothing to buy and the vehicle is turned around.

  • Arches

    Devils Garden sites run 20 to 40 ft on one park page and up to 30 ft on another. At a 34 ft median this class sits between the two figures.

  • Canyonlands

    Both campgrounds cap at 28 ft. Two of the 37 meet it. The Elephant Hill Access Road at 21 ft is out for the whole class.

  • Bryce Canyon

    Bryce Point Road and Paria View Road close to anything over 20 ft, which no Class A in this market meets. Drive a car to those two viewpoints.

Compare every published limit, tightest first

Pickup and delivery in the valley

29 of the 37 Class A RV listings measured on 18 September 2026 offer delivery, and 67.9 percent of the whole market does. The host sets the fee, the radius and whether they will drop at a campground or only at an address. This site owns no vehicles and drives nothing, so everything about the handover is agreed with the host on the listing.

If you are flying in, the two published numbers that matter are the airport parking garage at 8 ft 6 in of clearance and the terminal pick-up drive at 13 ft. The airport states that oversized vehicles must make special arrangements and pay additional fees, and it does not publish the amount anywhere. Arrange the handover somewhere other than the garage.

Class A RV rental questions

No special licence. Utah Code 53-3-102(3) makes a Class D licence the one for motor vehicles that are not commercial vehicles or motorcycles, and 53-3-102(7)(b)(iv) keeps a recreational vehicle driven as a personal conveyance out of the commercial definition. Utah has no non-commercial Class A or B licence; those letters exist only as CDL classes. There is a tension in Utah's own sources worth knowing before you book something heavy: the Utah Driver Handbook 2026 says a Class D licence covers personal vehicles up to 26,000 pounds, a ceiling the statute's RV exemption does not carry, and Utah publishes no sentence saying a personal motorhome above that weight may be driven on a Class D licence. Ask the Driver License Division rather than assuming either reading.
Four to ten, median seven. Of the 37 listed here, 34 sleep six or more, and all 37 sleep four or more. Book the campsite against that number as well as the vehicle: Zion allows a maximum of 6 people and only 1 RV or camping trailer per site, and Bryce allows 6 adults aged 16 or over and 10 occupants in total. A party that needs two vehicles needs two sites.
15 of the 37 Class A RV listings measured on 18 September 2026 exceed Zion's 35 ft 9 in single-vehicle length limit. Since 7 June 2026 there is no tunnel permit and no ranger escort, so there is nothing to buy and an over-size vehicle is turned around at Canyon Junction or the East Entrance. Length is the part you can check from a listing. Width and height are not: 80 of the 610 listings in this market publish a width and 86 publish a height, and the National Park Service counts mirrors, tyres and anything bolted to the roof in the 7 ft 10 in width.
Seven nights at the $286 median published day rate is $2,002 before anything is added, measured 18 September 2026. The class ran $100 to $1,795 a night on that date, and 23 of the 37 publish a weekly discount, median 10 percent, which is applied by the host rather than by this site. A Class A is a motor vehicle, so the 2.5 percent state and 7 percent county rental tax apply on top of 8.45 percent sales tax, unless the rental runs 30 consecutive days or the GVWR is 14,001 lbs or more. 22 of the 27 publishing a GVWR here are. On top of that sit the fees the listing sets: mileage, generator hours, cleaning, a security deposit and any delivery charge. Work a specific trip through the trip cost page rather than multiplying the median.
25 of the 37 Class A RV listings measured on 18 September 2026 publish a pet friendly flag. The other 12 either say no or publish nothing at all, and a blank is not a yes. Each host sets the rule, any pet cleaning fee and any restriction on being left alone in the vehicle, so get it confirmed in writing on the listing before you pay. Where the dog may then go is a separate rule and it is not the host's. Salt Lake City's watershed rules prohibit dogs, horses and other domestic animals in the protected watersheds outright, which covers Little Cottonwood Canyon, so an animal that is welcome in the vehicle is still barred from the campgrounds above Sandy. This site has not compiled the pet rule for each of the five national parks, so read each park's own pets page before you plan around one.
29 of the 37 Class A RV listings measured on 18 September 2026 offer delivery, at a fee the host sets. This site owns no vehicles, drives nothing, arranges no delivery and sets no fee. Where a host does deliver, check the address can take the vehicle's length and its turning circle before you accept a drop, and remember the airport garage clears 8 ft 6 in and the terminal pick-up drive 13 ft, with the oversize parking fee not published at all.

Get the length and the width before you pay

Every listing in this market publishes a length. 80 of 610 publish a width, and width is what Zion measures, mirrors included. Ask the host for it in writing, because an answer you can point at later has to be written down anyway.
