The Bates International Headquarters is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company was founded in 1973 in Los Angeles, California. Bates began its RV rental franchise system in Las Vegas in 1997. The Utah Public Safety Command selected Bates to provide RVs for the 2002 Olympics. The business has been featured in many publications including the Wall Street Journal, Time-Life Books, RV Life, to name a few. Bates was selected by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 500 Franchises in 2007 and 2008.
The company is a leader in recreational vehicle (RV) rentals, offers a revenue sharing RV management program, and purchases new fleet RVs factory-direct. The company is widely known as a luxury RV specialist and its RVs have no rental advertisements. Bates is also recognized for its diversity, from plush Class “A” diesel pushers, to Class “C” “cabovers”, to Fun Movers. The RVs have attractive interiors and exteriors and feature many amenities. They can be easily relocated and special permits are not generally required.
Many Fortune 500 companies, hotels and casinos, meeting planners and government agencies rent Bates premium RVs to serve as an “Office on Wheels” during special events. They choose Bates RVs because they provide an atmosphere that inspires productivity, excitement and professionalism. We provide the perfect solution for vendors and conventioneers who want to escape a crowded trade show or convention to close a sale. The entertainment industry, television broadcasting companies, movie studios, and recording artists utilize the RVs fully-stocked as mobile dressing rooms, break areas or production studios on location.
Bates is a member of the International Franchise Association, Travel industry Association, Affinity Group Good Sam Club “Smile & Save” program, Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, Go RVing Campaign, Las Vegas Film Industry and the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce.
