We like to make things as simple and as easy as possible for you. With regards to insurance, there are two things to consider when renting a campervan in the USA or Canada. Please read the Terms and Conditions of the vehicle you are wanting to rent.
There are two types of insurance for your campervan rental - campervan cover and liability cover. The following are insurance options for Mavericks, Santa Cruz and Big Sur campervans and the Jeep campervan.
Campervan Cover (for damage to the vehicle)
Covers damage to the campervan itself. You are responsible for the full value of any damage caused to the campervan without it. Camper cover cost ranges from $13-24.99/day, depending on pickup location, and lowers your excess from full value to $0 for accidental damage. In Canada, it ranges from $17-22CAD/day.
Liability Insurance
Protects you against 3rd party claims if you injure a person or damage someone else’s property. Basic Statutory limits (State minimum levels) for liability and property damage are included in your campervan daily rate. If your travel insurance does not include liability cover to US$1,000,000, you can purchase Supplementary liability Insurance (SLI) for an additional $13.99/day in the US. This covers third party property and public liability to US$1,000,000. In Canada, $1 Million liability coverage is included in the daily rate.

U.S. and CANADIAN Residents renting
If you are a U.S. or Canadian resident with a valid driver's license from either country and you have automobile insurance that provides full coverage for rental vehicles (including minivans), you may have coverage for our Campervans. Please check with your insurance company prior to pickup of rental vehicle. You will need to decline our CDW and SLI options and you will be responsible for making a claim through your insurance company. Please supply us with your insurance information at the time of Campervan collection.
Below is a snapshot of the positive feedback on Bakpak Dave's booking service. You can view our live reviews on our Google Business Page and on our Facebook page.
David did a great job from beginning to end on the RV rental. He even was keeping in contact with us during the whole delayed departure out of burning man. Would highly recommend him for your RV needs.
Bakpak Dave is the best! He made securing the perfect RV fast and easy. He has exceptional follow though and communication. I highly recommend his services for your next adventure!
As an international burner, renting from outside of the states has always been difficult. Cue BakPak Dave! Renting from him alleviated all uncertainty and stress plus he's incredibly responsive. I will forever recommend him!
Bakpak Dave was incredibly helpful when we rented an RV for Burning Man 2023. He was quick to respond to all our questions and ensured we got a good deal. Highly recommended!
Dave helped us book and negotiate a great super last minute deal for our Burning Man adventure (an almost impossible task..). He was incredibly responsive even during weekends and late times in the day and made sure everything was in order for our first ever RV rental. Highly recommend you book your RV through him..Thanks Dave!! 10/10
Dave is really the best person to work with for a burning man RV rental! I highly recommend him because he knows his stuff and is quick to respond. He’s truly a pleasure
I travel to the US regularly and often rent RV's to get around. Most RV rentals I've used previously have been pretty painful to deal with, ranging from not replying to emails to demanding extra payments on pick-up. More recently I've used Bakpak Dave and he has been a joy to deal with. He sourced the exact size RV we needed at a great price, all emails were replied to within 24 hours, and he uses his expert knowledge of the RV rental market to get you what you need, where and when you need it. Everything has been really transparent, and no hidden fees. I highly recommend BakPak Dave.
I honestly don't even know where to begin with Dave - I contacted Backpak Dave to book in an RV for Burning Man, and the whole process was so streamline and transparent. His communication was absolutely fantastic, was so easy to understand and he answered questions so promptly and clearly. Even during the time we were awaiting to purchase BM tickets, he was constantly checking in and to follow up with how we were going with getting everything sorted for the big event...
