Mighty, the thl group's budget brand in North America
Mighty is a brand of the New Zealand group thl (Tourism Holdings), also known for Britz, Road Bear RV and El Monte RV. In the United States, its vehicles are collected from El Monte RV depots: in our offers, the two brands share the same addresses in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, Orlando and New York.
The range offered on CoolDrive is short and easy to read: the Class C Medium overcab for four, the Class C Large for six and the Class A motorhome, which also sleeps six. All have an automatic gearbox. A few Class B offers, a more compact van, also appear in our observations.
At Mighty, none of the offers observed by CoolDrive include unlimited mileage: every mile counts. The observed excess reaches €1,338, whatever the model.
Our verdict: an attractive way into American RV travel, with low observed prices in spring and autumn and a network covering both coasts. Its limits: few models, depots far from airports and city centres, miles to factor into the budget and an excess to cover with a good credit card.

Our tips for booking with Mighty
-
Work out the distance before comparing
None of the observed Mighty offers include unlimited mileage. Add up the legs of your tour in miles (1 mile ≈ 1.6 km), add a margin for detours and check the price of miles or mileage packages in the offer. A loop from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and back quickly exceeds several hundred miles.
-
Locate the depot address
Mighty depots are those of El Monte RV, often outside the cities: Santa Fe Springs for Los Angeles, Dublin for San Francisco, McKinney for Dallas, Glen Ellyn for Chicago. Work out the journey from the airport or hotel and book your transfer in advance.
-
Medium or Large: count the adults
The Class C Medium sleeps four people and is easier to park. The Class C Large and the Class A sleep six, but some berths are better suited to children. With six adults, check the bed layout in the offer details.
-
Aim for April or October
In our observations, the median price of a large Mighty RV rises from around €62 per day in October to €133 in July. The shoulder seasons also offer milder temperatures in the deserts of the West and less crowded campgrounds in the national parks.
-
Prepare for the excess
The excess observed at Mighty is €1,338 for all models. Make sure your credit card has a high enough limit and check in the offer whether additional cover can reduce it. Our experts can help you compare the options.
Your questions about Mighty
How much does a Mighty hire cost in the United States?
According to prices observed by CoolDrive in October 2026 for 14 days, a Mighty overcab starts at €54 per day, mandatory fees included, in April as in October. The median price is around €62 in October, €71 in April and €74 in January, then climbs to €133 in July. Miles come on top: run a search with your dates.
Are Mighty and El Monte RV the same thing?
They are two separate brands of the thl group. In the United States, they share the same depots: the nine Mighty addresses in our offers are those of El Monte RV. El Monte RV operates from 14 cities with four sizes of Class C; Mighty from 9 cities, with the Medium, the Large and the Class A. Compare the two for your dates.
Is mileage unlimited with Mighty?
No. In all the Mighty offers observed by CoolDrive, mileage is limited and miles beyond those included are charged according to the terms of the offer. If you are planning a coast-to-coast trip, compare with Travellers Autobarn, whose observed offers are all unlimited, or plan a suitable mileage package.
Which Mighty model should I choose?
For a couple or a family of four, the Class C Medium combines manoeuvrability and comfort. With children or friends, the Class C Large goes up to six berths. The Class A, a motorhome with a panoramic cab, also sleeps six people with more living space, but needs more care in town and on narrow roads.
Where do Mighty RVs depart from?
Mighty offers 9 departure cities in our offers: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Seattle in the west, Denver, Dallas and Chicago in the centre, New York and Orlando in the east. The depots are in the suburbs, such as Commerce City for Denver or Linden, New Jersey, for New York. None is located at an airport.
They rented with Mighty
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.
Everything went well with Cool Drive!
Vehicle compliant with the request. Lack of clarity on the additional insurance taken out.
FAQ — Mighty RV hire in the United States

You see the model, the excess and the mileage terms at a glance, and our experts answer your questions before departure and during the trip.
What excess does Mighty charge?
All the Mighty offers observed in October 2026 show an excess of €1,338, whether you hire a Class C or a Class A. The exact amount and any cover to reduce it are stated in each offer. Bring a credit card with a high enough limit for the security deposit required at departure.
Can I do a one-way hire with Mighty?
It depends on the route and the season. To find out, enter a different drop-off city in the search engine: only offers that accept this route are shown, with any fees already included. With nine depots spread across the country, a departure from Seattle and a return to Los Angeles, for example, may be worth testing.
Do I need a special licence to drive a Mighty?
Mighty motorhomes all have an automatic gearbox and can generally be driven on a car licence. An international driving permit is recommended in addition to your national licence. Age requirements and the number of years holding a licence are stated in each offer: read them before booking, especially if a young driver will be at the wheel.
What is on board a Mighty RV?
The Class C and Class A are fully equipped motorhomes: kitchen area, fridge, bathroom with shower and toilet, beds for four or six. Kitchenware, sheets and towels are not always provided: check the contents of your offer and add the kits you need when booking.
When should I hire a Mighty RV?
For price, April and October are the best months in our observations, with median prices around half those of July. Summer suits the northern parks and the Pacific coast around Seattle, winter is better for Florida starting from Orlando. Spring and autumn are perfect for the Southwest starting from Las Vegas.
