  • Alberta highways do not have tolls, so you only pay for fuel and campsites.

  • Calgary Transit park-and-ride lots offer day parking, but overnight stops are not permitted.
  • A public dump station operates in nearby Airdrie and another at Crossfield on Highway 2. These are useful when returning to the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my rental motorhome be fitted with a bike rack?

Several companies will allow you to fit a bike rack to the campervan. Please note that bike racks may not be available for all makes and models and usually must be reserved in advance.

Is wild camping in a motorhome allowed in Canada?

No, wild camping is not permitted in Canada. You may only sleep in a campervan at campgrounds. Spending the night at rest stops or car parks is strictly prohibited.

Canada has thousands of campgrounds, and these usually cost around $40–90 (Canadian dollars) per night.

An exception may be the local Walmart; campers in Canada may be able to spend a night in the store lot with permission from the store manager.

Can I travel to the USA in a campervan rental from Canada?

Generally, yes – many Canadian campervan companies will allow you to travel to the USA in your rental vehicle. Check the policy of your preferred supplier for details and terms.

You must comply with visa and customs requirements at all times.

Can a child seat or booster seat be fitted in a campervan?

Most campervan rental companies in Canada have vehicle options that allow child/baby seats and booster seats.

However, not all vehicles may be compatible with a child seat, and not all companies have seats available to rent. Please check features of the vehicle when booking.

What licence do I need to rent a campervan in Canada?

All drivers must have a current and full driver’s licence to hire a vehicle. Foreign licences are acceptable if they are in English or French, or accompanied by an accredited translation. If your licence is in a language other than English or French, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.

Even if your licence is in English or French, if you plan to visit Canada for a longer period of time (3 months or more), you may be required to obtain an IDP as well. The rules vary between provinces, so make sure to check in advance and take note of local regulations.

Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
