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.
Can you sleep anywhere in a motorhome in Canada?
Not everywhere. In Canada, you generally need permission to park overnight, and rules vary by province/territory and municipality—so you can’t assume you can sleep in your motorhome anywhere you can park.
- Campsites and motorhome parks (the most straightforward option). Canada has thousands of campsites, typically cost around $40–90 CAD per night.
- Certain public lands (like Crown land), where dispersed camping may be allowed under local rules, permits, and stay limits (often stricter for non-residents).
- Some motorway service areas, where overnight stopping is allowed only if signage permits (rules vary).
Walmart can sometimes work, but it depends on the store manager’s discretion and local bylaws.
Always check posted signs, local bylaws, and your hire agreement before you settle in for the night.
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 for hire. 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. Overseas 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.
