The best way to experience this amazing country is in the comfort of the perfect RV. Explore Canada at your own pace as you embark on a motorhome adventure through some of the country’s top tourist destinations with VroomVroomVroom. With plenty of scenery and well-maintained roads, we guarantee you'll have a memorable vacation.
Canada is a beautiful country which can only be discovered with the time and flexibility that an RV rental could offer. You can drive your motorhome anywhere including campgrounds, theme parks, national and state parks, lakes, and even beaches. With a reliable motorhome, you can enjoy the freedom of backcountry travel without having to worry about paying for accommodation.
Avoid renting an RV during the peak season which is between the months of July and August. More vacationers are on the road to popular tourist places such as Montreal, Quebec or Vancouver at this time of the year, and prices are usually high. Take note that you can have access to the best campsites and cheaper RV rentals during the off season (from November to January).
When it comes to choosing an RV to rent in Canada, there are two important determining factors for you to consider. The number of people you will be travelling with and where will you be going.
Once you know where you’re going and who’s coming with you, that’s when you can decide the type of RV to rent. Make sure that you'll have sufficient space for everyone to sleep in and lounge around. Additionally, it should have the right kitchen appliances for you to make meals at the RV park or campground. Click here to gather more ideas.

The Viking Trail passes plenty of incredible sights and villages including Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse, Arches Provincial Park, Western Brook Pond, St. Anthony, and Port aux Choix.
You will need to be at least 21 years old or older to rent an RV. Make sure to check with your rental company for other requirements and additional fees.
You will need a driver’s licence that is currently valid in your home country to be able to rent an RV in Canada. Note that provisional or restricted licences are not accepted.
If you haven't properly cleaned your RV, or you haven't filled the petrol and propane tanks, you could face additional charges.
Please note that you can’t just park your RV as it is prohibited in some cities, especially in a shopping centre parking lot. In Quebec, you can drive your RV in Montreal, but you are not permitted to park in the street.
This will depend on your budget and needs. A self-contained RV is more spacious compared to a non self-contained one. Take note that self-contained RVS are the only types of vehicles permitted to stay overnight on freedom camping sites. Non self-contained RVs are more energy efficient and are easier to drive while self-contained RVs are more costly.
