A campervan vacation gives you total freedom to travel as you wish without having to worry about checking into hotels. You also get the delight of waking up to a new view every morning. Camper trips are very popular in Canada, particularly between May and September when the climate is at its best. To be sure of getting the vehicle of your choice at a competitive price during this period, we recommend booking several months in advance. Don't worry if your vacation dates change, there is no additional cost for altering them. Your reservation also comes with a fair and transparent cancellation policy.
