RV Delivery at Burning Man is a format in which the rental company delivers a fully prepared and equipped RV directly to your campsite in Black Rock City (or the official parking lot) and picks it up from there after the festival.

The main advantages of this service:

1. Saving time and effort

No queues: You don't have to stand in traffic jams at the Gate line for 6-12 hours while driving a huge Burning Man RV Delivery, unwieldy motorhome. You fly into the Reno or Las Vegas airport and transfer to a comfortable company shuttle that takes you right to the door of your RV.

Navigation Exception: Finding your place in the dark among the labyrinthine streets of Black Rock City in a multi-meter car is one of the most stressful moments for newbies. During delivery, the company driver himself finds your location using the GPS coordinates of the camp.

Freedom from Driving: You don't have to spend an entire day traveling to and from Nevada. For example, the journey from Sacramento to Gerlach takes about 8 hours just driving, plus time for gas stations and queues.

2. Professional training of equipment

Motorhomes that are delivered by the service undergo special pre-festival preparation: mechanics check the brakes, generator, air conditioning, seal the ventilation from dust and fill the tanks with water. The likelihood that the car will break down on the first day on the playa is much lower than when leaving the rental car park on your own.

3. Fully equipped housing

Unlike a regular rental, where you receive an empty car, the delivery service often offers a turnkey / plug and play option:

Inside, the beds are already made, there are towels and bed linen.

The kitchen is equipped with utensils, a gas stove, a propane tank and a supply of drinking water.

Solar panels or a paid generator with fuel are often included.

Ice coolers are already installed in the cabin.

All you have to do is bring your personal belongings.

4. Absence of logistics problems in large cities

Picking up a large Class A or Class C in the center of San Francisco or Los Angeles is extremely difficult: there are narrow streets, signs prohibiting tall cars and parking problems. Delivery eliminates the need to look for a rental SUV-tractor to get to the rental company’s office in an industrial zone on the outskirts of the city.

5. On-site assistance

The delivery service driver usually gives instructions right in the camp: shows how to use specific equipment, where to drain water (gives out the coordinates of the nearest sewage disposal stations - Pump stations) and gives basic tips on survival on the playa.

Important nuances and rules:

Legal Approval: All third party delivery services must be approved by the festival's Outside Services (OSS) program. They have the right to enter the territory only after your camp has been officially allocated a place (Placement).

Cost: This is a premium service. The cost of the delivery itself can range from several hundred to a couple of thousand dollars above the rental price, as it includes payment for the driver’s work, his accommodation and return trip. However, it is often comparable to the cost of renting a car to travel to the rental company's office, fuel and fines for late return.

Time limits: The car will be parked at your camp all week. You won't be able to drive it away in the middle of the festival if the need arises. It is also important to agree in advance on the exact time for picking up the car after the Temple burn, when traffic on the roads is temporarily blocked.
