As part of an RV rental in Calgary, or elsewhere in Canada, many people wonder if they should have an international driving license or a special license to drive an RV.

We won't let the mystery hang too long: the short answer is no.

In fact, you just need to have a valid regular driver's license from your home country to ren an RV for your Canada tours.

Here are the two conditions to meet for your license to be accepted here:

1- Your license must use the Latin alphabet.

2- Primary and additional drivers must have obtained their official driving license at least 12 months prior to the rental.

In all cases, rental companies only accept to rent vehicles to people aged 21 and over.

Every year, many travelers find themselves unable to rent an RV in Canada, due to lack of availability.

Indeed, this form of travel is very popular and unfortunately, the demand is higher than the offer, especially during high season.

If you want to hire a vehicle during the months of July and August, book early (at least six months in advance), since it is our high season. Sometimes reservations open up to 1 year in advance and this can greatly affect the price of your trip.

Finally, it is also better to book your RV before buying your plane tickets to ensure you won't have any bad surprise, especially if you necessitate a one-way and / or high season rental.

Book early!

With no great surprise, the summer season is the best time to plan an RV road trip in Canada.

Although the rental of RVs with us is possible between May 1st and October 31st, we do recommend mid-May to mid-October more.

High season is undoubtedly between early July and mid-August.

The RVs are then in great demand. This means that the availability is very limited. If you choose to travel during high season, plan to reserve your vehicle at least six months in advance to ensure availability.

The months of June and September are very interesting to plan your Canada tours in RV because the temperature is pleasant, there are a lot less tourists and the rental prices are very competitive.

The beginning of October offers an astonishing charm in Eastern Canada, with its Indian summer phenomenon. The trees are then adorned with their multicolored leaves, offering quite a spectacle! It is definitely a good time to consider if you're interested in Eastern Canada tours.

In Canada, child car seats must meet the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS).

If your seat does meet these standards, take it with you! Most airlines will let your board with it free of charge and your child will be more comfortable, just like at home.

Otherwise, you will have to think about renting a child seat for your Canada tours. This option is payable in advance or on site, depending on the rental company.

Please note that not all RV rental companies offer this option.
