Star RV540 W Potter Drive, 99158 Anchorage
Star RV, nine departure points from coast to coast
Star RV rents out motorhomes in the United States from nine cities covering the main travel regions. In the west: Los Angeles (depot in Bellflower), San Francisco (San Leandro, in the East Bay) and Seattle (Parkland). Inland: Las Vegas and Denver, with a depot in Aurora. In the east: New York, from South Amboy in New Jersey, then Miami and Orlando, on the Davenport side. And finally Anchorage, for Alaska.
The fleet has five models with names borrowed from the sky, all with automatic gearboxes. The Saturn is a 20-foot (about 6 m) campervan for two. The other four are overcabs: Taurus for four, Tucana and Cygnus for five, and Perseus for six, which reaches 33 feet, nearly 10 m.
CoolDrive did not record any Star RV offer in October 2026: mileage, excess and equipment are to be read in each offer. In the United States, miles and kitchen or linen kits are often charged separately by motorhome rental companies.
Our verdict: a well-placed network for the parks of the West, Florida or Alaska, and overcabs sized for families. Things to watch: the total cost once options are added, and the size of the large models on some park roads.

Star RV: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Star RV is ideal if…
- You are heading for the parks of the West from Las Vegas or Los Angeles
- You are travelling as five or six and want a Cygnus or Perseus overcab
- You dream of Alaska and are looking for a departure from Anchorage
- You prefer an automatic gearbox on a large vehicle
- You want to explore Florida from Miami or Orlando
Star RV is not ideal if…
- You want a compact van that is easy to park in town: only the Saturn comes close
- You plan to take dirt tracks or narrow mountain roads with a 10 m vehicle
- You are going to Florida at the height of the hurricane season, from August to October
- You want an all-inclusive rate without reading the details of the options
Our tips for booking with Star RV
-
Add up miles and options
In the United States, many motorhome rental companies charge for the miles driven, kitchen and linen kits or generator use on top of the base rate. Before booking a Star RV, estimate the distance of your route and tick the kits you need: you will get a realistic cost and avoid unpleasant surprises at the counter.
-
Start from the city closest to your route
The Star RV network lets you save days on the road. Las Vegas puts Zion, Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon a few hours away. Denver opens up the Rockies and the road to Yellowstone, Seattle the Olympic and Mount Rainier parks. From Miami, the Keys and the Everglades are very close.
-
Book park campgrounds very early
Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone or Zion fill up quickly in summer. Pitches at park-run campgrounds generally open several months in advance: book them as soon as your rental dates are fixed, or look for private campsites just outside the parks.
-
Bear the extreme seasons in mind
From Las Vegas, July and August are very hot in Death Valley; spring and autumn are more comfortable. Alaska is mainly explored from May to September. Miami and Orlando suit the winter months well; from June to November, the hurricane season, keep a close eye on the weather.
-
Carry out a thorough check
At pick-up, photograph the bodywork, the awning and the tyres, test the generator, the air conditioning, the water heater and the waste outlets, and compare the inventory with the list provided. Keep the rental company’s assistance number in your phone, especially for desert crossings or Alaska.
Your questions about Star RV
Which Star RV motorhome should I choose for the size of my group?
For two, the Saturn, a 20-foot campervan, remains the most manoeuvrable. For a family of four, the Taurus overcab measures 22 to 25 feet. For five, compare the Tucana and the Cygnus, which is longer and more spacious. The Perseus sleeps six people, but its 30 to 33 feet take a little getting used to.
Is mileage limited with Star RV?
CoolDrive did not record any Star RV offer in October 2026: the number of miles included appears in each offer. In the United States, several rental companies count miles; in our records, Cruise America, El Monte RV and Mighty offer limited mileage. Work out the distance of your loop to choose the right package.
How much does a Star RV hire cost in the United States?
We have no Star RV rate recorded in October 2026. Four factors make the rate vary: the depot chosen, the period, the number of nights and the size of the vehicle, not forgetting the miles and kits added. Summer and the American school holidays are the most in demand. Run a CoolDrive search with your dates: the amount shown includes mandatory fees.
Where are the Star RV depots?
Star RV is present in nine cities: Los Angeles (Bellflower), San Francisco (San Leandro), Seattle (Parkland), Las Vegas on Boulder Highway, Denver (Aurora), New York (South Amboy, New Jersey), Miami, Orlando (Davenport) and Anchorage. The depots are on the outskirts: plan a taxi or shuttle from the airport, and check the opening hours in the offer.
Can you do a coast-to-coast one-way hire with Star RV?
With depots on both coasts, a trip from Los Angeles to New York or from San Francisco to Miami is possible, provided the offer accepts one-way hire. Return fees are often added over these long distances. Enter a different drop-off city in the CoolDrive search: only the vehicles open to that trip appear.

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 — Star RV motorhome hire in the USA
Why book Star RV with CoolDrive?
In a single search, CoolDrive puts Star RV side by side with other American rental companies such as Cruise America, El Monte RV or Mighty, with a price that already includes mandatory fees. The details of each offer show miles, excess and options: you know what you are paying before you leave. Our experts help you choose the city, the model and the season.
Do I need a special licence to drive a 33-foot Perseus?
Generally not: in the United States, these motorhomes can be driven on a car licence. An international driving permit is advised if yours is not written in English. The minimum age and length of time licence held required appear in the Star RV offer. Practise manoeuvring in a car park before taking the motorway, and watch the clearance height at petrol stations.
What excess and security deposit should I expect with Star RV?
The amount of the excess and the security deposit depends on the model and the insurance chosen: each offer specifies it. The rental company usually blocks the deposit on the credit card of the person signing the contract. If you choose a reduction option, compare its cost with the length of the trip and check what it covers, roof and tyres included.
Can I hire a Star RV in Alaska all year round?
In Alaska, motorhome trips are generally concentrated from May to September, when the roads to Denali, the Kenai Peninsula or Valdez are passable and campsites are open. For a departure from Anchorage outside this period, check availability and the offer terms. Distances are long and fuel stations scarce: fill up and keep the assistance number to hand.
What equipment is on board a Star RV overcab?
An American overcab generally offers a kitchen, a fridge, a shower room with toilet and berths, including one above the cab. The rental company advertises modern equipment, but the exact contents depend on the model. Crockery, bed linen and towels are often sold as kits: check what the offer includes and add the rest when booking.
How do I collect the motorhome when arriving by plane?
Star RV depots are not at airports: the Los Angeles one is in Bellflower, the San Francisco one in San Leandro, the New York one in New Jersey. Plan a hotel night on arrival and a pick-up the next day, once rested. Check in the offer whether a transfer is available and at what times the depot is open.
