Wild camping is not allowed in Canada. You can only sleep in a campervan at designated campgrounds. Staying overnight at rest areas or parking lots is against the rules.
There are many campgrounds in Canada typically costing between $40 and $90 CAD per night.
However, you might be able to stay overnight in a Walmart parking lot if you get approval from the store manager.
To rent a campervan, all drivers must hold a valid and complete driver's license. Licenses from other countries are fine if they're in English or French, or if you have an official translation. If your license is in another language, you'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
Even with an English or French license, if you're staying in Canada for 3 months or longer, you might also need an IDP. Regulations differ across provinces, so it's important to research and understand the local requirements beforehand.
Absolutely! Many travelers choose popular one-way trips like going from Vancouver to Montreal, Calgary to Vancouver, or Toronto to Montreal.
Yes, most Canadian campervan rental companies do permit travel to the USA with their vehicles. Be sure to review the specific terms and conditions of your chosen provider.
