The Apollo USA pick-up/return depots are located at Denver, Colorado; Los Angeles, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; and San Francisco, California.

The minimum official rental duration is 7 nights for rentals commencing July–September or for one-way rentals, otherwise the minimum is 5 nights. If you select a shorter duration than the applicable minimum, our software will compute the price based on the minimum duration.

One-way rentals are possible for a fee of US$ 250, changing to one of the following fees* for rentals that commence after March 2012:

IMPORTANT: Clients arriving on flights from overseas are indeed allowed by Apollo USA to pick-up on the day their flight arrives.

Apollo USA does not allow clients to store luggage or other personal items at the rental depot for the duration of the rental. Note: for motorhome travel soft-sided or collapsable bags are the best sort to use.

Clients must arrive at the rental depot by their own means, e.g. by taxi. Clients cannot park a car on the Apollo USA rental depot grounds for the duration of their motorhome rental.

Motorhome pick-up (or return) is not possible directly at locations other than the depots; e.g. it is not possible at airports or hotels.

The depots are open for pick-up or return Monday–Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 11:00 am. Which is to say, unlike with our other USA vendors the booked pick-up and return times do not affect the cost.

Sorry but Sunday pick-up or return is not possible with Apollo USA. The depots are closed during certain holidays, which are accounted for by our online reservation software.

A thorough explanation and demonstration of the rental vehicle will be provided upon pick-up. This orientation, together with completion of the relevant paperwork, requires approximately one hour.

Apollo does not allow travel into Death Valley and certain similarly extreme desert areas during 15 May through 15 September, due to extremely high ambient temperatures there which can cause system failures in the vehicle. At other times of the year clients who visit such desert areas do so at their own risk and are responsible for all consequent recovery and other charges. Due to restrictions on vehicle heights, propane gas and parking, vehicles bearing propane are not permitted in Manhattan. Travel to Mexico, Alaska, Yukon, the NW Territories or Newfoundland is strictly prohibited. No special authorization from Apollo is required for non-Canadians to travel elsewhere in Canada, although travel to the greater metropolitan areas of Montreal and Quebec City requires special permission from Apollo. Apollo reserves the right at its own discretion to restrict vehicle movements in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions.

If you intend to travel to the Burning Man festival with the Apollo rental vehicle (including the Cheapa Campa brand), Apollo will charge you a a special US$ 700 surcharge upon the pick-up occasion. If a client travels to the Burning Man festival with the vehicle and does not advise Apollo/Cheapa Campa of this beforehand, Apollo would consider such travel a breach of their rental agreement and as such the client would be held responsible for any and all loss of or damage to the vehicle from any cause, regardless of fault, and for all related expenses, this is in addition to the US$ 700 Burning Man surcharge.

IMPORTANT: Canadian residents are not permitted by Canada to rent a motorhome in the USA to travel in Canada. A similar restriction applies to Mexican residents renting in the USA and wanting to travel in Mexico.

At Denver each motorhome is winterized during November through April or during any other stretch of space–time in which the ambient temperatures of the low-altitude regions near the depot are expected to be below the freezing point during a client's rental. Winterization means that the water is drained from the fresh water tank, hot water heater and both waste tanks. Of course this drainage involves the water pipes, toilet, sink, shower, and external shower (if this latter feature is present). Once the vehicle is winterized, no water should be put into the fresh water tank and it should not be hooked up to the public water supply. Therefore no water at all is available from the motorhome. The toilet, however, can still be used as long as windshield washer antifreeze is poured down to rinse it. Pink RV antifreeze will have been run through all the pipes and put into the black and grey tanks. If the client removes the antifreeze and puts water into the system, the tanks and pipes will likely crack. If this damage occurs, the client will be responsible for repairing these systems and any other consequent damages. If the client unwinterizes the vehicle for travel into a warner climate, it is the client's responsibility to have the vehicle re-winterized before returning it. If such client presents a receipt of winterization from a Southern RV Service Center, Apollo will reimburse the client up to a maximum of US$ 75. If, however, such client does not have such receipt, Apollo will keep the security deposit and charge the client for any costs consequent of water system damage. Of course upon the pick-up occasion the vendor can provide instruction regarding the draining and rehydration of that system.
