Frequently asked questions
Q.
What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
I am very flexible with picking up and drop off times. Early pickup usually works well for me. I will ask for early return if there is an immediate turn around with another renter. (This insures Buttercup is as clean and as ready to go as she will be for you. ) Otherwise I'm ok with later afternoon. Preferably during daylight so we can do a proper handoff.
Q.
How familiar do I need to be with a manual transmission?
A.
Very. Please do not choose Buttercup as a fun rental experience if you are not proficient with a manual transmission. It is very easy to burn out a clutch from riding it when inexperienced and you will be held responsible for the expense of replacing it. I say this because it has happened and it is not enjoyable for anyone. Not only that it is very dangerous and we want to keep you safe.
