Cruise America is taking phone reservations for one-way RV rentals between most of its more than 120 locations in the United States and Canada, after the Federal Aviation Administration halted departures at U.S. airports on Friday afternoon. The [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/956624705/cruise-america-readies-call-centers-to-help-travelers-affected-by-faa-ground-stop) announcement said the agency acted after a telecommunications outage affected air traffic control.

## How Cruise America's One-Way Rental Works

The FAA said it halted departures out of an abundance of caution, and major airlines have issued travel waivers. Cruise America encourages travelers to check with their airline first. For those who decide to drive, a customer picks up a motorhome at one location and returns it at another.

Travelers can ask about a one-way rental by calling 1-800-671-8042. Each one-way route requires approval and depends on vehicle availability at the pickup location, and Cruise America's existing one-way policy applies to new reservations. Renters must be at least 21 years old and need a valid driver's license and a major credit card; no special license is required to drive a Cruise America motorhome.

"A lot of families had their plans upended on Friday," said Randall Smalley, Assistant Vice President of Marketing at Cruise America. "The FAA put safety first, and airline teams are working hard to get people moving again. Our job is to take care of travelers whose vacations were disrupted."

Smalley also said a motorhome does not suit every trip. "If driving makes sense for your family, call us and we will tell you what is available near you," he said. Cruise America continues to monitor the situation.
