Family Road Trips

The best time to go on a Canadian Rockies road trip or Eastern Canada adventure is during the summer months, between mid-June and mid-October.

The high touristic season is between mid-July and mid-August. There are a lot more travelers and the prices are higher.

From mid-September to mid-October, the trees are adorned with red, orange and yellow to offer quite a spectacle. You can sometimes still get nice temperatures. We call it the Indian Summer.

Whatever option suits your desire, make sure to check out our section "When to visit Canada ?" before booking your travel dates.

Before leaving for a road trip aboard your Canada car rental, it is best to be aware of the particularities of the Canadian highway code.

We have gathered for you the most important information on our "Driving in Canada" page.

The best time to book your Quebec road trip or Western Canada tour is to book at least 6 months in advance to ensure availability, especially if you plan to travel in July or August.

Indeed, if you book your trip at the last minute, you risk limited availability, not to mention that you can expect the most beautiful places to be full.

Finally, the earlier you book, the more money you will save. There is no good reason to wait before booking your trip.

Consult our section "When to book my trip?" to know more.
