Have you tried RVing? Next time you are planning a trip or a vacation, consider renting an RV – the best way to explore Canada. Or are you thinking of buying an RV? If you are not quite sure which model is going to work out best for your needs, try renting before you buy. Companies that rent RVs are listed by province. You can select a specific area, or a list of rental companies located near any major Canadian city:
Before you rent
Whether you want to rent an RV near your home – or fly to another part of the country, and rent an RV there, check our lists of companies with RVs for rent and visit their websites. You will find several companies have more than one rental location, so you can start in one city and travel to another.
Check your insurance
Speak to your car insurance broker to see if you are covered for the RV you plan to rent. You may need to arrange additional coverage from the rental company. Some companies also have minimum age requirements. The RV rental package
Motorhomes are the most popular models for rent, but some companies also have travel trailers, truck campers or folding camping trailers. Generally housekeeping packages are available (dishes, pots, pans, etc.) and sometimes bed linens also. There may be additional charges for TV and VCR, travel to the Far North, extra mileage, or a Winterizing fee for wintertime RVing.
Before you set off you will be given full instruction in the operation of the vehicle(s). If you are driving or towing an RV for the first time (see RV Driving Tips) you will find that it is reasonably easy for an experienced driver to adapt to the difference in size, height and weight. Rent an RV to experience the FREEDOM, FLEXIBILITY & FUN of RVing.
Check our lists of RV dealers first, or consult your Yellow Pages, and if you still need help locating a rental company in a particular region of Canada, contact the Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) of Canada: www.rvda.ca
