The change in your app where you have to take the photos on the spot makes it extremely inconvenient considering I don’t always have Wi-Fi connection. Used to be able to take photos and upload from my phone. Second, I cannot see what I’m typing for a review on a client when they complete. Does not show me the text that I write.
Hi Steve, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear you’ve encountered issues with our app. We’ve recently released a newer version, so please update your app in the App Store to see if this resolves the problem. Each update includes new features and performance improvements, so hopefully this will enhance your experience. Please note that the app currently does not allow photo uploads from your device’s gallery and only permits taking live, in-app photos for handoff and return documentation. This is expected behavior for the key exchange process, as it ensures all uploaded information is current and accurately reflects the vehicle’s condition at the time of handoff and return. Improvements to photo upload functionality in areas with limited cell coverage are already on our roadmap and actively being developed. In the meantime, photos can be uploaded at any time, even after the trip, as long as they were taken during the handoff and return process. Again, my apologies for any frustration this may have caused. If you continue to experience difficulties after updating, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our 24/7 Customer Support team via chat or by calling 877-723-7232—they’ll be happy to assist further.

Very good service, but needs a few tweaks to be great.
Outdoorsy has a very good platform for helping camper-owners rent out their campers when not in use. The website is great, the app needs work. On the app there is no way to switch from guest to host, which makes the app nearly useless as a host. The only other complaint I have is the paperwork; Outdoorsy requests the host to print out a plethora of documents for both the host and the guest to sign/initial. This should all be done digitally. Printing 20+ pages is a waste of paper and ink for the host, which cuts into the profit margin.
My partner and i have really struggled…
My partner and i have really struggled with your insistence that only one phone number can be on the web site. The consequence comes down to: Only one of us can utilitize the web site. If i were to get on he would still have to confirm, with a code, that i am ok. When we have problems that can’t be fixed, he is the only one who can talk to you. If we have a question about one of our renters, again—i cannot do it. We have tried to talk to you about this but we got no where.
Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, and my apologies for any frustration this has caused; that’s definitely not the experience we want our hosts to have. Upon reviewing your account, I’m glad to see our technical team was able to provide clarity on the issue. If both you and your partner have the Outdoorsy app installed and notifications enabled, you’ll each receive alerts independently. This setup removes the need for SMS notifications across multiple phone numbers. Thanks again for taking a moment to share your thoughts; it's greatly appreciated. Donna Outdoorsy Support
Thanks for everything
Outdoorsy used to be amazing back when…
Outdoorsy used to be amazing back when we started using it. Unfortunately over time, the app has only gotten worse as the customer service phone number and chat link were taken down. Now to have to go to the internet and dig for the customer support number. Hiding your customer service information is a disgrace of a business move. Why?…. The app has glitches when entering information where you can’t even see what you’re typing until you hit enter. Adding photos has become more difficult. It’s like to tried to make the customer experience worse every time you update the app. Stop nickel and diming your tools and customer service and charging more for your services. Go back to actually being available for your customers.
Hi Jan, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, and my apologies for any frustration this has caused; that’s definitely not the experience we want our hosts to have. I’d like to reassure you that our contact information is still easily accessible through the Chat, Email, or Call link found at the bottom of every page. Once you click the link, simply type “phone number” or “support,” and our contact number will appear; no digging required. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused. As for the app, we’ve recently released a newer version (5.3.1). Please update your app in the App Store to ensure you have the latest features and performance improvements, which should help enhance your experience. Lastly, I’d like to clarify some of the benefits included with these fees. They help provide both guests and hosts with 24/7 international customer support via chat, email, and phone. In addition, both parties receive the peace of mind that comes with having dedicated teams for claims, disputes, breakdowns, roadside assistance, driver verification, platform marketing, our Concierge team, and insurance coverage, all at no additional cost to you. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team if you have any additional questions or concerns. Donna Outdoorsy Support
Watch out for the fees
I hadn’t notice the insurance charge until after signing up. I attempted to have that removed and at the same time read reviews of the company which prompted me to cancel. The cancellation fee was 25%. The rental fee was $340 so to me the fee should be $85, but no they count the prep fee and insurance in that cancellation. This is not a company I want anything to do with or will recommend.
Hi Geoff, Thank you so much for your feedback. Please allow me to clarify that Outdoorsy operates as a peer-to-peer platform. This means that aside from our standard 10% service fee, all other fees are set directly by the host, including their chosen cancellation policy, as we offer three different tiers to suit various preferences. We also provide three insurance protection packages designed to accommodate different budget and coverage needs, as well as stationary coverage options for rentals that are delivered and not intended to be moved during the trip. Removal of Outdoorsy’s insurance protection after a booking is confirmed is possible, provided the host agrees to accept the guest’s personal carrier in lieu of our protection package. Thank you again for taking the time to share your perspective; we truly appreciate it. Donna Outdoorsy Support

Outdoorsy 24/7 customer service has allowed my business to be success because there has been plenty of times when I called in about late delivery and customer not showing up on time
Wonderful customer service
Prompt responses in handling day to day operations. Consistently there to assist when making sure support tickets are processed smoothly. Thanks Outdoorsy!
Easy to use platform.
Outdoorsy makes sense to me.
As a host - I really enjoy the ability to communicate with their support team 24/7 , literally. They make the app and website user friendly and it doesn't take up a lot of my time trying to navigate. I have looked at other sites and some of the fees and the extras do not make sense. Using Outdoorsy makes sense. Thanks!
Very user friendly
Very user friendly! The only thing I have issues with is that it's hard to update my calendar from the app, and my add-ons on a booking aren't visible on the booking page I have to click over to the add-ons. Sometimes I miss stuff.
Customer service for switching unit
I contacted customer service to switch a camper unit. I did it through chat. The person understood what I was asking and was willing to answer my question in multiple different ways to get the outcome that was most beneficial to me and my renter.
Easy to rent RV with Outdoorsy!
Great app
Great app. Easy to use.
Great tool to rent out a travel trailer
All of the tools that they provide to assist in the process of renting out my travel trailer were super easy to use. I also felt well protected against damage or issues with any renter.
Here are a few headline ideas you could use for your Outdoorsy review that highlight how they treat both guests and hosts well: 1. “Outdoorsy Delivers for Both Guests and Hosts Alike”
It is very easy to work on this platform. And their customer service is phenomenal. They work for both the host and the guests. No, doubt about it. And they are fair in all their decisions.

Its a good platform to rent out your rv. It is very hard to figure how to add extras once a booking is taking place. The app needs a lot of work. Notifications are non existent per my guests and the app does not work for hosts.
Hi Jeremiah! Thanks so much for the kind words and for sharing your feedback! Upon review, it looks like you’re currently using the Android app for Guests instead of the Android app for Hosts. You can find the Host app in the Google Play Store as well. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need a hand locating it, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our 24/7 Support Team; we’re always happy to walk you through it. Thanks again for taking a moment to share your thoughts! Donna Outdoorsy Support
Very helpful
Very helpful with renting my rv from start to finish.
ODY loves their fees.
My renter caused damage to my vehicle. I believe in making it right but ODY thinks they deserve a bit of the cost of fixing my RV...even though they in fact..do not help repair it. Same for Generator Costs and Mileage costs...though they've never really chipped in on those maintenance costs either.
Hi Matthew, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re dissatisfied with the fee policy and that your RV sustained side mirror damage. Please allow me to clarify some of the benefits that are included with these fees. For these fees, we provide both guests and hosts with 24/7 international customer support via chat, email, and phone. In addition, both parties receive the security of knowing that we have dedicated teams handling claims, disputes, breakdowns, roadside assistance, driver verification, platform marketing, access to our Concierge team, and insurance coverage—all at no additional cost to you.
