Gateway to the Rockies & the Coast
RV & Motorhome Rental Vancouver
Vancouver is Western Canada’s premier RV base — the launch point for the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler, the drive east into the Canadian Rockies, and the ferry across to Vancouver Island. Mountains, ocean and rainforest all meet here.
Prices are shown in Canadian Dollars (CAD) — the currency of the country where the RV is hired.
It’s a favourite start (or finish) for the classic Vancouver–Calgary Rockies route. CamperCompare compares the major Canadian RV brands so you can find the right vehicle for a British Columbia and Rockies adventure.

When to Rent in Vancouver
The RV season runs roughly May to October. July and August are warmest and busiest, with all mountain roads open. Late September brings autumn colour and thinner crowds. Book early — the Rockies routes are in huge demand in peak summer.
Pick-Up Tips
- Vancouver → Calgary one-way rentals are very popular — confirm the one-way fee when comparing.
- Book Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise campgrounds well ahead — they sell out in summer.
- Watch for wildlife on mountain roads and never leave food out at campgrounds (bear country).
