rv holiday

we are planning a 6 week tour of usa in an rv. due to time constraints we have to be careful with our time. we are thinking of driving the rv from l.a. (where we fly in and pick up the rv after some time visiting disneyland) up to vancouver. we have been told there are extreme taxes and insurances involved in taking a rv from usa to canada. any advice?

we are happy to pay up to $1000 extra for the convenience of a rv as opposed hiring a car and staying at hotels. but above that we need to consider it.

thanks all

Hello! The best place to enquire about the insurance questions would be to ask your RV rental company.

I do know that most car rental companies will allow the car to taken into Canada from the US. There are RV rental companies in the state of Washington which allow their rigs to be driven to Alaska (through Canada), so some are okay with it.

Have you checked with any RV rental companies yet? Two large ones are - www.elmonterv.com , and www.cruiseamerica.com

There are other companies, but that will give you an idea of the costs involved.

When are you planning on visiting? RV rentals are often more expensive than staying in hotels/motels, especially in our summertime. Are you planning a round trip RV journey?

Have driven an RV into Vancouver, BC twice, but we owned the RV. I would post on the Vancouver,BC forum and find out what people think of driving their RV in the city. We hated it!! Lots of traffic and some crazy drivers (sorry Canucks). It is a great city to visit though and lots to see. Our dollar is worth approximately $1.24 now, which makes visiting Canada nice. NOTE: Check what you will need to get back into the States as far as ID is concerned. We use our passports.

You%26#39;ll be going through my home town of Olympia, Washington. It is the State capitol, beautiful, right on the water, lots to see, very friendly. Stop by and visit us. Our down town is great and we have the second largest farmers%26#39; market in the State.
