The rental company

Britz in America: a single category, eight cities

Well known in Australia and New Zealand, the Britz brand also rents motorhomes in the United States. There it is part of tourism Holdings (thl), the group that also operates Road Bear RV, El Monte RV and Mighty on American soil. Its eight depots are spread between the Pacific coast (Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles), the interior West (Las Vegas, Denver), Texas (Dallas) and the Atlantic coast (Orlando, New York).

The offering comes down to one vehicle: the Run of Fleet 4-berth overcab, an automatic Class C with four seats and four berths. The “Run of Fleet” label generally means that the exact model is allocated on departure from the available vehicles in that category.

CoolDrive has not yet observed any Britz offers in the United States: mileage allowance, excess and security deposit are set out in each offer.

Our verdict: a straightforward option for a couple or a family of four who want to tour the national parks by motorhome, with departures on both coasts. On the other hand, there is no choice of size or model, and the depots are in the suburbs, a good distance from the centre, such as Agoura Hills for Los Angeles or South Amboy for New York.

Our view

Britz: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Britz is ideal if…

  • You are travelling as a couple or a group of four and a standard overcab suits you
  • You are heading for Zion, Bryce Canyon or the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas
  • You want to drive up the Pacific coast between Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle
  • Your trip starts in Florida or on the East Coast, in Orlando or New York
  • You want an automatic transmission for your first miles in a motorhome

Britz is not ideal if…

  • There are five or more of you: the Britz overcab only has four berths
  • You want to choose a specific model: the vehicle is allocated on departure
  • Your tour starts in Chicago, Miami or Phoenix, cities not in the Britz network in our offers
  • You are looking for a compact van for city driving: compare with Travellers Autobarn
  • You are planning Alaska: GoNorth Alaska rents 4x4s and truck campers there
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Britz

  1. Plan the journey to the depot

    Britz depots are far from the terminals: Agoura Hills, north-west of Los Angeles, San Leandro, on the other side of the bay from San Francisco, or South Amboy, in New Jersey, for New York. Find the address as soon as you book, allow for the transfer time and avoid going straight from a transatlantic flight to collecting the vehicle.

  2. Take stock of the miles

    American distances are measured in miles (1 mile ≈ 1.6 km) and a loop through the West easily eats up more than 2,000. Check in your offer whether miles are included, capped or sold as packages, and plot your itinerary before comparing total prices.

  3. Book national park campgrounds

    In Yosemite, Zion or the Grand Canyon, campground pitches inside the park open for booking months in advance and fill up quickly in summer. Also check the maximum length accepted: a Class C fits almost everywhere, but some older loops restrict vehicle size.

  4. Inspect the overcab before setting off

    As the model is allocated on site, take the time to get to know it: walk round the bodywork, photograph any defects, test the generator, the water pump, the water heater and the fridge. Note the rental company’s assistance number and keep it to hand throughout the trip.

  5. Choose the season according to the region

    The South-West is best explored in spring and autumn: in July, Death Valley and the area around Las Vegas become overwhelmingly hot. The Rockies from Denver and the North-West around Seattle lend themselves to summer, Florida from Orlando to winter.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Britz

How much does Britz hire cost in the United States?

We do not yet have observed prices for Britz in the United States and will not give a random estimate. The price of an American overcab varies greatly between a departure from Las Vegas in November and a departure from Seattle in August, not counting the miles. Run a CoolDrive search with your depot and dates: the price shown includes mandatory fees.

What does “Run of Fleet” mean at Britz?

This label refers to a category rather than a model: you book a four-berth Class C overcab, and the specific vehicle is generally allocated to you on the day of departure from those available. Layout, chassis make and equipment details may therefore vary. If a particular layout matters to you, ask our experts before booking.

What is the difference between Britz, Mighty and El Monte RV in the United States?

All three brands belong to the thl group. Britz offers a single overcab for four in 8 cities. Mighty adds the Class C Large and a Class A motorhome, from 9 cities. El Monte RV offers four sizes of Class C in 14 cities. Run a search to compare their offers for your dates.

Where do Britz motorhomes depart from in the United States?

Britz has eight depots: Seattle, San Francisco (San Leandro) and Los Angeles (Agoura Hills) on the West Coast, Las Vegas and Denver (Commerce City) in the interior, Dallas (McKinney) in Texas, and Orlando and New York (South Amboy, New Jersey) in the East. None is at an airport: plan a transfer.

Is the Britz overcab suitable for a family?

Yes, for up to four people: the Run of Fleet 4-berth offers four seats with seat belts and four berths, including the overcab bed above the cab, often popular with children. For more, you need to look at a larger Class C from Mighty, El Monte RV or Cruise America, whose ranges include more spacious models.

The rental in the US went well. Although I had some trouble reaching people to clarify a few points once on site, there were no issues in the end. The RV on-site was great, spacious, fully equipped, and met our expectations.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Britz motorhome hire in the United States

Why book Britz with CoolDrive?

On CoolDrive, the Britz overcab appears in the same results as Cruise America, Mighty and El Monte RV, with a price in euros to which mandatory fees have already been added. Excess, miles and security deposit are shown in each offer. Our experts, available before departure and during your road trip, help you choose your depot and dates.

Is mileage included with Britz in the United States?

We have not yet observed any Britz offers in the United States to give you a definite answer. In this market, miles are often charged per use or as packages: at Mighty, El Monte RV and Cruise America, all observed offers have limited mileage. Read the mileage terms of each Britz offer before booking.

What excess and security deposit apply with Britz?

No Britz excess has yet been observed by CoolDrive in the United States: the amount is shown in each offer, along with the cover that allows you to reduce it. The security deposit is usually blocked on a credit card when you collect the keys. Check your card limit before departure, especially if the card is also used for fuel.

Can I do a one-way hire with Britz, for example from Los Angeles to Seattle?

The network lends itself to it, with depots at both ends of the Pacific coast and on the East Coast. However, one-way hires depend on the route, the season and the rental company’s terms. Enter Seattle as the return location when searching: you will only see compatible offers, with their fees already included.

What licence do I need to drive the Britz overcab?

A car licence is generally enough for a Class C of this size. An international driving permit is recommended in addition to your national licence, especially in the event of a roadside check. Age and experience requirements vary by offer: check them before confirming, particularly if several drivers will be taking turns at the wheel.

Where can I sleep with a Britz motorhome in the United States?

National park and national forest campgrounds offer the most beautiful settings, but often have no hook-ups. Private RV parks offer water, electricity and waste disposal at the pitch. Overnight parking outside campgrounds depends on the state and the town: ask locally and follow the signs.
