Discover Syracuse RV rentals for memorable road trips

Named for Siracusa, a city in Italy sharing similar rolling hills sloping into the water, Syracuse, NY, is one of the best places to rent an RV. The city lies at the crossroads of I-81 and I-90 between Rochester and the state capital, Albany. The city’s historical importance stems from its strategic location close to the canals and railways that prove crucial for transportation of goods. Once known as the “Salt City” for its salty natural springs next to Onondaga Lake, Syracuse developed a reputation for producing high-quality salt which spurred its industrial growth throughout its history. Businesses headed to Syracuse in droves to set up shop over the last 100 years to capitalize on the city’s central location within one of the most affluent states in the country.
