  • An open credit card authorization is taken at departure for all rentals
  • Security deposits MUST be made with CREDIT CARDS ONLY (No debit cards) and will be processed.
  • Deposits are refunded when the vehicle is returned complete with all equipment in a clean and undamaged condition.

USA Driving
Guests are welcome to travel into the United States with the correct passport/visa/documentation relevant to their party and when there are no government-imposed restrictions. A US Driving fee of CAD $100 per booking applies to any travel within the United States (including Alaska). This gives unlimited nights of stay in the USA. If the US Driving fee is not included in the rental package, it can also be added during online check-in. Guests must pay the US driving fee before entering the USA or their insurance coverage will be voided.

Guest Guide
At check-in, each booking receives a Guest Guide for their vehicle type. The Guest Guide is a step-bystep handy guide containing all Guests need to know about their RV. It’s a helpful reminder of all the elements covered during the Quick Start Guide but remains with them for the entire duration of their vacation and it’s free to take home with their holiday memories.

CanaDream Club
All Guests are immediately members of the Club as soon as they have made a booking with CanaDream. Guest are able to download the CanaDream Club app where they will find useful maps for fuel station locations (with our partner gas stations), campgrounds and many attractions across Canada who are happy to welcome CanaDream RVs to their attraction and to offer CanaDream Guests preferential pricing or added value.

Insurance coverage
Canada operates insurance on a “no fault basis”. No-fault insurance doesn’t mean that no one is at fault when you get into an accident. All it means is that if you’re injured or your RV is damaged in an accident, your insurance company handles your claim, instead of potentially going through the lengthy and costly process of the court system and dealing with the other person’s insurance company. This is true regardless of whether the accident was your fault or someone else’s.

After an accident, it’s an insurer’s responsibility to determine who’s at fault to evaluate an individual’s risk and determine how their premiums will be impacted. To determine fault, the law in almost every province requires an insurance company to assign a percentage of fault to each driver involved based on provincial regulations known typically as Fault Determination Rules. These rules outline different accident scenarios and assign fault to each of the parties involved in the accident by referencing the rule that most closely resembles the factual circumstances of the accident.

 • All CanaDream vehicles are insured with $5 million Public Liability and Property Damage.
 • A security deposit of CAD $1,750 is required for the collision and comprehensive insurance deductibles as outlined in our insurance policy. CanaDream does not offer a liability reduction product.

The security deposit is processed to the Lead Driver/Main Guest’s credit card during Online Check-in and is refunded to the same credit card upon return of the vehicle, if the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was received i.e., without damage. This credit card must be presented by the named Guest at the time of pick-up.

• Any Guest that is involved in an incident will have their deposit held (to the maximum charge) for a minimum of 60 days or until the incident claim is closed.

Claims that are less than the deposit amount will have the difference refunded to the Guest upon closing of the incident claim.

 • The Guest is responsible for the maximum charge stipulated, where expenses include, but are not limited to towing, storage fees, damage to the CanaDream Inc. vehicle, damage to third party property, injury claims, insurance adjuster fees, legal fees.

 • The insurance does not cover liability for loss of personal property, nor does it cover costs for accommodation, transportation, or replacement of vehicle if the vehicle is stolen or should an incident occur that makes the rented vehicle inoperable.

 • The security deposit covers the first incident. Where damage has been reported, a second security deposit will be taken to cover any additional incident, and so on and so-forth.

 • Where a replacement unit is required due to accidental damage, and, depending on availability, a new, signed rental agreement & security deposit must be in place before a replacement vehicle is provided.

  • The Guest is also responsible for the cost of business loss where damage is caused by negligence. This will be charged for the period the RV is unavailable due to repairs.

Incidents must be reported within 24 hours and be accompanied by the completion of either CanaDream online accident report or the written accident report form (in each vehicle) along with the police report or file number.

CanaDream reserves the right to alter or change the list of festivals affected by the surcharge. Guests who take vehicles to festivals must request permission at the time of reservation.

Responsibility
If, for any reason beyond the company's control, the reserved vehicle is not available, CanaDream reserves the right to substitute a vehicle of equivalent value or offer a higher rated vehicle at no additional cost. Should a lower rated vehicle be substituted, the company's only responsibility is to refund the difference between the two vehicles. Although this is infrequent, accidents or mechanical repairs may force substitutions.

Child Seats General Information
CanaDream offers the Evenflo Symphony 3-in-1 Child Seat.

The 3 in 1 seat will be given to the Guest, but they will need to convert the seat into the size required for the child. The seat can be used as an infant seat, a child seat, and a booster chair. Note: it does not convert into a booster cushion, but the booster seat with the full back, this may not suit some older children. If this does not suit the child, we are happy to refund the child seat rental charge.

Parents or guardians are responsible for the installation of the child seats. CanaDream Crew members can provide guidance but cannot physically help install the seats.

The TCA is the only unit with a 3-point seatbelt for securing the child seat and is compatible with the Isoflex Anchor Points.

Booster seats without a back rest are not recommended for use in RV's as they can only be secured by the lap belt. It is often safer for larger children to simply use the lap belt as a restraint.

Availability of child seats are not guaranteed, and we highly recommend booking them at the same time as RV bookings.

Generator
Use of the Generator is charged at CAD $3.5 per hour between 01 May and 30 September and is paid upon drop-off. Generator useage is complimentary between 01 October – 30 April. (The TCA does not have a generator)

Levelling Blocks
We are pleased to offer a pack of leveling blocks for Guests to rent. Levelling blocks are positionned under the wheels to help level out a packed RV when parking on unevent ground. Guests must take care when positioning the levelling blocks.

Bike Racks
We are pleased to provide bike racks for rental along with our SVC, MH-B, MH-A and MH-X units. The CanaDream premium bike rack is specially designed for RV’s and can hold up to 4 regular bikes (Not e-bikes). Guests who wish to use the rack for e-bikes should note there is a restricted weight limit on the rack of 100lbs in total weight. Guests are fully responsible for the fitting of their bikes to the bike rack and are required to sign the Bike Rack acceptance as part of the Rental Agreement.

CanaDream cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to any bikes on the rack. We also recommend Guests bring appropriate bike padlocks for securing their bikes when not in use. For liability purposes CanaDream does not permit the use of personal Bike Racks.

Winterisation
All Motorhomes must be winterized when travelling in freezing conditions with the exceptions of CanaDream’s unique MHA RV unit, which is specially built for winter conditions and allows for use of the water, toilet, and shower in freezing conditions. Winterization of all other units requires that antifreeze is flushed through the plumbing system. As the weather in Canada can be unpredictable, CanaDream will winterize their units as the temperatures start to drop into the freezing zone. As a guideline, RV’s will be winterized:

  • Eastern stations (Toronto, Halifax & Montreal): 15th October
  • Western Stations (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton): 1st October

Once the RV is winterized, no water can be put into the freshwater tank, and it cannot be hooked up to any water supply. Therefore, no water is available in the motorhome.

It is the Guests’ responsibility to have the RV winterized while on a trip at his/her own expense should the weather conditions require. The Guest is also financially responsible for having the RV rewinterized on the return trip if the RV was winterized at the time of pick-up and the vehicle is being returned in freezing temperatures. A CAD $150 re-winterization fee will be charged if the RV is returned non-winterized when the temperature is -10 degrees Celsius or below. The Guest will be fully responsible for any damages to the plumbing and water systems caused by freezing during their trip.

Change to Drop-off Location after Pick-up
If your client wishes to change their drop-off location after pick-up, they should get in touch with our friendly Reservations Team who will be happy to help. Our team will advise the Guest if the change is possible and if a relocation fee applies. Any fees would be charged directly to the Guest.

Extending a Road Trip
If a Guest wishes to extend their booking whilst on hire, they must first obtain authorization from CanaDream Reservations who will advise of the additional costs - extensions cannot be made through a wholesaler. Rental extension is subject to fleet availability. The extra cost of an extended booking must be paid by credit card over the telephone or at a CanaDream location immediately on confirmation of the booking extension.

Change of RV
We do our very best to ensure each Guest receives the vehicle category they booked, we cannot confirm or guarantee a unit by make or model. We always do our best to accommodate special requests.

Should the booked RV not be available due to unforeseen circumstances or operational challenges, we will substitute the booked RV with an alternative available at the time of pick-up. We will do our best to communicate any changes to the booked vehicle to you or to the Guest in advance of pick up but this is not always possible. Any changes to the booked RV and agreed to by or requested by the Guest do not entitle the Guest to a refund.

Powered Site and Ferry Bookings
It can be difficult to book a full-service campsite or a ferry during high season. We recommend Guests make a reservation for at least a 33ft RV, irrespective of the size of the motorhome reserved to avoid problems due to possible upgrades. Powered sites will require a 30-amp connection.

Repairs
We understand that while on holiday the RV may require small repairs or small items included in the Kitchen Kit may need to be replaced. So as not to disturb the road trip any further, if the damage was not caused by the Guest, repairs, or replacements up to CAD $150 can be completed without authorisation and will be reimbursed on presentation of the receipts at time of drop off. If repairs or replacements over CAD $150 are needed, the CanaDream On-road Team needs to be informed prior to the repair being completed. All RVs are covered for 24/7 mechanical emergency roadside assistance.

Infringements, Tolls and Fees
CanaDream will pass on any charges the Guest receives for traffic infringements, road tolls or parking fines during their road trip. If the Guest pays these fines immediately, there will be no additional administration fees. However, if the Guest delays in paying the fine we reserve the right to charge an administration fee.

Fuel
CanaDream makes no representation as to fuel consumption. Vehicles are supplied with a minimum ¼ tank. If the Guest returns with less fuel than on departure, he/she will be charged for that amount of fuel at CanaDream’s refuelling rate. There is no refund if client returns with more fuel than on departure. During the Winter Season fuel tanks may be provided full and should then be returned full.

Shortening of Rental Period
If a renter shortens their hire period by more than a week - it may be treated as a cancellation of the whole booking and a re-booking. This depends on when the amendment takes place and how many days of hire are being cancelled. Please ensure you always have travel insurance in place.

Travel Insurance
CanaDream strongly recommends that Guests ensure they take out the highest level of personal Travel Insurance to cover and protect them from unexpected circumstances on their vacation.

Payments at Stations
For security reasons, CanaDream will only accept credit card or debit card for rental charges paid on RV pick-up or drop-off. Cash payments will not be accepted at rental stations. The Security deposit on the RV must be paid on a credit card. We accept: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, & Union Pay.

Exchange Rate
All transactions are conducted in CAD$. Due to exchange rate fluctuations, there could be some variance in the amount refunded compared to the amount initially charged. Refunds by credit card can take up to 14 business days, depending on the Guest’s financial institution.

Multiple Rentals
We love to reward our long-term road trippers so consecutive rentals within a 3-month period, in Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand or Europe with any of the Apollo brands can be combined to obtain a long term 5% discount on the Flex Rate. Multiple rentals are considered separate rentals under the one-way fee and minimum rental period conditions. Multiple rental discounts can also be applied to Early Booking discounts.

Long Hire Discounts
Guests who love road trips as much as we do, and travel for 21 nights or more, receive 5% saving on the vehicle rental rate in Summer (April - October) and 10% saving on the vehicle rental rate in Winter (November to March). This discount is combinable with Early Booking Offers but is not combinable with seasonal special or relocation offers.

Booking Alterations
At CanaDream, we understand that sometimes things change. If this is the case, any changes made to a booking will be calculated by using the higher one of the two rates, either the original Flex Rate or the Flex Rate current at the time of the booking alteration.

The following are classified as booking alterations:
 - Change Change of vehicle type
 - Change of pick-up location
 - Change in drop-off location
 - Change in the pick-up date, excluding booking extension
 - Change in the drop-off date, excluding booking extension

In the event the hirer wishes to make changes to the following: vehicle booked, pick up or drop off dates, pick up or drop off locations the following charges will apply:

• If amended 15+ nights prior to pick up: $50 plus any increase in vehicle charges.
• If amended 14 nights or fewer prior to pick up or No show: 100% of cancellation fees and new booking charges will apply.

Please note:
• There is no refund for late pickup or early return of the motorhome
• No refunds for an amendment which reduces the number of booked nights
• If the rate plan or RV category is changed, it is considered a new booking and cancellation fees may apply to the original booking
• The Flex Rate of a confirmed booking will not change with requested changes to party size and/or adding prepaid items.
• Changes can be made for travel up to 12 months
• Any credits applied to a booking will have 12 months validity from the original date of pick up.
• A relocation fee may apply if the collection or return location is amended within 14 nights of RV pick-up or if notification occurs during the hire.
