RV Rental Vancouver: British Columbia and Rockies Road Trip Guide

Quick summary: An RV rental from Vancouver opens up some of North America’s best road trips: the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler, ferries to Victoria and Vancouver Island, the Okanagan wine country and the Canadian Rockies. RV depots sit in the suburbs around the city, and you can choose anything from a compact campervan to a large Class A motorhome. Campgrounds range from city-edge RV parks to provincial and national park sites in the mountains and forests.

Why rent an RV in Vancouver?

Accommodation and transport come together in one vehicle, so you can wake beside a lake, a beach or a mountain without booking hotels. Vancouver is also a gateway to both the coast and the Rockies, and many companies allow one-way trips east to Alberta.

Whether you search for RV hire, campervan rental or motorhome rental, the same depots and vehicle classes come up, so compare by size and inclusions rather than the label.

Where do you pick up an RV in Vancouver?

At depots in suburbs such as Delta and Port Coquitlam, or in Abbotsford in the Fraser Valley, rather than at the airport terminal. Some companies offer transfers. See Vancouver pickup.

Can you drive an RV rental to the Rockies?

Yes. The Trans-Canada Highway leads east to Banff and Jasper, and one-way rentals to Calgary or Edmonton save the long return drive. See the Canadian Rockies.
