All the Moturis vehicles have a gasoline engine, automatic transmission, dash and roof (110 V) air conditioning, stove burners, microwave oven, sink, refrigerator, freezer, furnace, toilet, and 110 V hook-up.

Included in the preparation fee are the first tank of propane, the first supply of toilet chemicals, a water hose, sewer hose, flashlight (i.e. torch) and batteries, first aid kit, and the final cleaning of the outside of the vehicle.

Also included are the vehicle operation manual, a road atlas, KOA Campground Guide, KOA Atlas, and KOA discount card (giving customers a 10% discount).

There is no charge for additional drivers. The vendor provides free storage of clients' luggage at their depots (but at the clients' risk).

Sorry, but camping tables and "walkie-talkies" (i.e. RF communications devices) are not available for rental.

If you want your Moturis motorhome rental to include any of the following, you should order such items upon placing a reservation. (Availability of the items cannot be guaranteed unless they are pre-ordered, i.e. booked before the pick-up day.) Our online order software will prompt you in this regard. The cost of any pre-booked items is not subject to tax.

Garmin nüvi® 370 GPS navigator: This new model comes loaded with high-resolution maps of both North America and Europe, integrated with a traffic-conditions receiver and a points-of-interest (POI) database customized by IdeaMerge! The IdeaMerge deal: US$ 5 per day, plus US$ 69, with option to buy it for US$ 449 minus the rental cost; includes POI customization, handling, and FedEx shipping to and from you. The GPS rental duration depends on your residency. For residents of the USA the duration commences two days after you receive the Garmin nüvi 370, and ends with the commencement of a 4-business-day grace period in which IdeaMerge expects to receive the unit back from you (i.e. you have a couple of days to get the item into the hands of FedEx after you return home). For residents of other countries the GPS device will be delivered to the motorhome rental pick-up depot or else to a hotel you name to us; such clients need to return it to IdeaMerge upon completion of their roundtrip or one-way motorhome rental, i.e. before they leave the USA, per the instructions we will provide. To return said unit to IdeaMerge, you will place the unit — including all the accessories and the manual — in the original shipping box, afix thereto the included pre-paid 2nd-day-service FedEx "stamp," and give the package to FedEx or perhaps by agreement to the motorhome rental depot (who would in turn give it to FedEx). (IdeaMerge is not charged for said stamp unless the stamp is used to send such item to us.)

shuttle transfer*: although free of charge, transfer to the rental depot is offered at 7:00 am only (except for clients staying at the designated San Francisco downtown — alias city center — transfer hotels, for whom this meeting time is 12:00 noon) and this only at designated transfer hotels; likewise free of charge, transfer from the depot to the designated airport (except New York's JFK and LGA airports) is offered at 11:00 am. In this regard, please do not book return flights which depart prior to 2:00 pm.

mileage package: The IdeaMerge online reservation software will determine and suggest to you the optimal mileage/km solution for the number of miles/kms you plan to drive. Each rental night includes 60 miles (100 km) by default. This figure can be increased by pre-booking a 40-, 90- or 140-mile nightly mileage addendum, as follows:

3 largest vehicle groups other vehicle groups
+ 60 miles / night: included in nightly rate included in nightly rate
+ 40 miles = 100 miles / night: US$ 14 / night US$ 12 / night
+ 90 miles = 150 miles / night: US$ 31 / night US$ 26 / night
+ 140 miles = 200 miles / night: US$ 48 / night US$ 41 / night

These figures include tax. You cannot purchase these options upon the pick-up occasion. Unlimited miles are not offered by Moturis.

Upon the return occasion miles beyond any pre-booked number are charged at US$ 0.38 per mile for the three biggest vehicle groups, US$ 0.32 per mile for the other vehicle groups, plus tax; i.e. at a premium of well over 10%.

Lowrence IWay 500c GPS navigation unit: US$ 20 plus tax per night (payable upon pick-up) if pick-up occurs June–September (maximum US$ 280 plus tax); or US$ 10 plus tax per night (payable upon pick-up) if pick-up occurs during another part of the year (maximum US$ 140 plus tax). Multi-lingual. Includes a comprehensive listing of campgrounds.

"all-inclusive" supplement: US$ 32 per night for 3 largest vehicle groups, US$ 29 per night for other vehicle groups; available only for rental durations of 13 nights or more. Includes preparation fee, weekend surcharges, VIP and convenience kits for all persons in the party. Based on your rental duration and the options you select, the IdeaMerge software will determine whether the all-inclusive supplement is the best deal for you.

vacation interruption protection (VIP): US$ 9 per night. Reduces to US$ 500 the default US$ 2500 deductible/excess applying to accidental damage and reduces to US$ 1000 said default insofar as it applies to theft and to vanadalism; it introduces a US$ 2500 deductible/excess applicable to the otherwise uncovered "exceptions" noted on the "Insurance" page; it reduces to US$ 500 the default US$ 1000 security deposit; and relative to mechanical breakdown (but not accident) requiring the vehicle to be in repair for more than 12 working hours, it provides US$ 30 per person per day for lodging and US$ 30 per group per day for other transportation, the limit of these payouts being altogether US$ 3000 per rental, and the payouts being contingent upon client's presentation of receipts.

convenience kit: US$ 75 per person. Consists of bedding, towels and personal kitchen items, and the purchase of just one convenience kit secures a full set of general kitchen items (utensils, crockery, etc.) for the entire party:

personal items: blanket or comforter (duvet), pillow and pillow case, sheet, face cloth, hand towel, bath towel, dinner plate, bread plate, cereal bowl, cup and saucer, glass, knife, fork, spoon

general items: broom, dust pan, bucket / trash can, clothes hangers, set of pots, frying pan, barbeque grill, mixing bowl, mixing utensils, coffee pot, carving knife, cutting board, kitchen towels, serving spoons, Scotch Bright cleaning pad, can opener, corkscrew, bottle opener, dish cloth and two tea towels

camping chair: US$ 9 per chair

generator: US$ 3 per hour (payable upon return), or US$ 12 per day for unlimited (payable upon pick-up)

bicycle rack, or adult mountain bicycles and rack: US$ 50 for rack only; or US$ 135 for two bicycles and rack, US$ 238 for four bicycles and rack. Only one size — adult — is offered. Bicycle rentals are indeed available with one-way rentals. In several states of the USA the use of helmets is mandatory for bicycle riders. Moturis, however, does not provide bicycle helmets for hire.

Alaska, Yukon, NW Territories authorization: US$ 450. No such authorization required for travel elsewhere in Canada, although travel to the metropolitan areas of Montreal and Quebec City is prohibited.

Mexico authorization and insurance: US$ 19 per night. The Moturis vehicles are allowed to travel into Mexico if such travel is confirmed in advance and the additional liability insurance and CDW, which together cost the US$ 19 per night, is purchased. Area restrictions might apply. This addendum is sold at the San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas depots only. Clients have to provide the depots with the exact dates the vehicle will be in Mexico. When traveling in Mexico, traveler assistance is not available and any repair costs, towing or fines incurred in Mexico are the client's (i.e. traveler's, renter's, customer's) responsibility.

toaster: US$ 6 per rental

infant safety seat**: US$ 39 per seat

snow chains: US$ 35 per rental

one-way fee: see our "Locations" page and/or our online reservation software.

*Clients opting for such transfer should book it upon booking the rental or no later than three working days prior to the transfer occasion.

** Child safety and booster seats:

We can address these safety devices in terms of law or, more wisely, in terms of one or another more general and more conservative (i.e. child-conserving) consensus about child safety. Nevertheless please note that IdeaMerge is neither obligated nor qualified to present to clients nor to the general public the full set of relative laws nor the letter of those individual laws; the comments below, whether about law or consensus are merely intended to indicate the nature of the general issue of child motor vehicle safety. In many cases (such as Canada and the United States) the law applies based on the state, province or territory in which the vehicle is registered or in which a particular rental commences. In Canada such law is strictest in Quebec and in Ontario. Which is to say, these are the only provincial units in Canada that require booster seats. The general North American consensus considers booster seats necessary for children weighing 18–36 kg (40–80 lbs), forward-facing safety seats necessary for children weighing 9–18 kg (20–40 lbs), and rear-facing infant seats necessary for children weighing up to 9 kg (20 lbs). Age-wise these ranges correspond to 4.5 years through 7 years, 1 year up to 4.5 years, and 0 years up to 1 year. In Germany, however, the high-end figure is more conservative, in the sense noted above. German law puts this figure at up to 12 years or up to 1.5 m tall; French law puts it at up to 10 years. In Ontario a child need not use a safety seat if (a) his/her weight is over 36 kg (40 lbs) or (b) his/her age is over 8 years (i.e. he/she has turned 8 years old) or (c) his/her height is over 1.45 m (4 ft. 9 in.).… Generally a rear-facing safety seat should not be used in a seat equipped with a functional frontal airbag. Also generally speaking, children under 12 years old should sit in a rear seat.… In the context of the whole IdeaMerge Website it is appropriate to address a few more specific cases. The state of Washington in the USA is relatively strict: children up to 1 year old or less than 20 lbs must be seated in a rear-facing infant seat; children from 1 year old through 3 years old or 20–40 lbs must be seated in a forward-facing child seat; and children from 4 years old through 5 years old or 40–60 lbs must be seated in a booster seat (in the rear if the front passenger seat is equipped with an airbag). In the state of Oregon children from 0 through 3 years old or less than 40 lbs must be seated in a child seat, and children 4 years old through 5 years old or 40–60 lbs must be seated in a booster seat. In the state of California, children from 0 through 5 years old or less than 60 lbs must be seated in an appropriate child seat, perhaps a booster seat. In the state of Nevada children from 0 through 3 years old or weighing less than 40 lbs must be seated in a child seat. In the state of Colorado, children from 0 up to 1 year old or weighing less than 20 lbs must be seated in a rear-facing child seat; children from 1 year through 3 years old or 20–40 lbs must be seated in a front-facing child seat; and children from 4 through 5 years or less than 55 in. tall must be seated in a booster seat. In the state of New Jersey, a child 0 through 17 months old must be seated in a child seat; a child 18 months through 4 years old must be seated in a child seat if riding in front; and a child less than 8 years old or less than 80 lbs should sit in the rear, if rear seating is available.… In Australia a child from 0 up to 1 year old must be seated in a child seat, and this seat must be fitted with a top tether that is in turn attached to a suitable mounting point on the vehicle; other constraints apply per territory, but the general rules noted above should nevertheless be applied and are typically indicated by vehicle rental vendors. In New Zealand a child from 0 through 4 years old must be seated in an appropriate safety seat; a child from 5 through 7 years old must if seated in front be seated in a booster seat or, we are told, secured with an adult safety belt (although this latter option seems too lax); and again the general rules noted above should neverthless be applied and are typically indicated by vehicle rental vendors.
