Pricing
How Much Does Temporary RV Housing Cost?
Temporary RV housing costs $3,500 to $5,000 per month, delivered and fully set up on your property. There is a 30-day minimum rental. On covered insurance claims we bill your carrier directly under ALE coverage.
Typical monthly rate
$3,500–$5,000 / month
Delivered, leveled, and connected. 30-day minimum, month-to-month after that, no maximum term. Typical placement runs about five months.
What drives the price
Unit size is the largest factor. A compact floorplan for a couple sits at the low end of the range; a large family unit with separate bedrooms and a bunk room sits at the high end.
Location matters next. Delivery distance and regional demand move the number, and after a widespread storm event the entire regional supply of housing tightens at once.
Site conditions are the third factor. A flat driveway with an accessible panel is straightforward. A property that needs new temporary electrical service, extended runs for water and sewer, or difficult access adds coordination and cost, and that work is quoted separately. Our RV utility setup guide walks through what your property needs.
What's included in the monthly rate
Delivery and transport to your property
We tow the unit to your address anywhere in the lower 48 states, typically within 24–72 hours of approval.
Leveling, blocking, and placement
The RV is positioned, leveled, and stabilized on your lot so it lives like a house, not a parked trailer.
Utility hookup coordination
Power, water, and sewer connections are arranged and coordinated, including bringing in a licensed electrician when your property needs dedicated service.
A fully equipped unit
Full kitchen with refrigerator, range, oven, and microwave. Full bathroom with shower and toilet. Heat and air conditioning throughout.
Linens and housewares kit
Plates, cookware, towels, and bedding come with the unit so you aren't re-buying a household the week after a loss.
Washer and dryer availability
In-unit laundry is available — it matters a great deal on a placement that runs several months with children at home.
Ongoing service and support
If something breaks during your stay, we handle it. You are renting a managed housing solution, not just a trailer.
Pickup and site restoration
When repairs finish we tow the unit out and clean up the site. Nothing is left for you to arrange or dispose of.
How it compares to hotels and rentals
Monthly cost for a displaced family of four during a covered repair. Ranges are typical and vary by market.
| Housing option | Typical monthly cost | Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel (two rooms for a family) | $5,000–$9,000 / month | No kitchen, pet restrictions, frequent relocations on long claims, off-site from the rebuild. |
| Short-term rental / furnished apartment | $4,000–$8,000 / month | Often requires a lease longer than the repair, deposits up front, and limited availability after a regional storm. |
| On-property RV housing (Agile) | $3,500–$5,000 / month | Delivered and set up, on your own lot, no pet policy, kids stay in school, you oversee the rebuild daily. |

Who pays: insurance billing on covered claims
On a covered loss, your homeowners policy's Additional Living Expense coverage pays the extra cost of living elsewhere while your home is uninhabitable. An RV on your own property qualifies as lodging under that coverage.
Agile RV Housing bills the carrier directly on a monthly basis. You are not fronting the housing cost and waiting on reimbursement. We verify coverage with your carrier before the unit is scheduled, and your specific policy limits and deductibles are reviewed with your adjuster before placement.

Not filing a claim? Private-pay placements use the same rates and the same 30-day minimum. Corporate and workforce placements are quoted on our corporate and workforce housing page.
Frequently asked questions about cost
How much does temporary RV housing cost per month?
Temporary RV housing from Agile RV Housing runs $3,500 to $5,000 per month, delivered and fully set up. The range depends on unit size, floorplan, and your location. There is a 30-day minimum rental and no maximum — a typical placement runs about five months. On covered insurance claims we bill the carrier directly under ALE coverage, so most homeowners pay nothing out of pocket.
What is included in the monthly price?
Delivery, leveling, and placement on your property; utility hookup coordination for power, water, and sewer; a fully equipped unit with a full kitchen, full bathroom, heat, and air conditioning; a linens and housewares kit; washer and dryer availability; ongoing service during your stay; and pickup and site restoration at the end. It is a managed housing solution, not a bare trailer rental.
Is RV housing cheaper than a hotel?
For a family, usually yes. Two hotel rooms for a household of four typically run $5,000 to $9,000 per month before meals, and hotels have no kitchen, restrict pets, and frequently relocate long-stay guests mid-claim. On-property RV housing at $3,500 to $5,000 per month generally costs the carrier less over a five-month placement, which is a large part of why adjusters approve it.
Does insurance pay for it?
On covered losses, yes. Additional Living Expense coverage — also called Loss of Use, or Coverage D — pays the extra costs of living elsewhere while your home is uninhabitable, and an RV on your own property qualifies as lodging. We verify coverage with your carrier before delivery and invoice the carrier directly on a monthly basis. Your specific policy limits and deductibles are confirmed with your adjuster before placement.
Is there a minimum rental term?
Yes, a 30-day minimum. After that it is month-to-month with no maximum term, so the housing follows the actual repair timeline rather than a fixed lease. A typical placement runs about five months.
Are there extra costs beyond the monthly rate?
Utility consumption — the electricity, water, and sewer the unit uses — is billed to the property as usual and is not part of the rental rate. If your property requires new electrical service to support the unit, that electrician work is quoted separately and is commonly included in the claim. We tell you about any of this before delivery, not after.
