Coast to Coast Special:
Go West are proud to introduce an innovative and successful package that enables the customer to enjoy ALL of Canada! Why explore only one coast when you can see them both!

Here is how it works:
You fly into Toronto, spend your first night in an airport hotel and goes through the company’s rental and orientation process the next morning. You leave Owasco, Toronto for a minimum 10 day tour of the East.

After dropping off the vehicle at Toronto, you board a flight bound for Vancouver or Calgary. You then proceed to
Go West for the second leg of the tour and picks up an identical vehicle. As a result, you will not have to undergo a second motorhome orientation. Then you leave Calgary or Vancouver for a minimum 10 day tour of the West. The vehicle may be dropped off in Vancouver or Calgary.

Choose from Calgary, Toronto or Vancouver to start your trip.
One way rentals can be applied between Calgary and Vancouver. One way rentals require a minimum rental of 10 days and a one way fee applies. (you must book the same size vehicle at both locations)

Savings:
1 - There is no charge for the preparation fee & kits at the second pick up location.
2 - if All Inclusive Option is taken then 500km for FREE at each location.
3 - Taxes will be applicable to the Province in which the trip originates.
4 - Most airlines have small or no stop over fees.
5 - Save fuel and kilometres by not driving across Canada

Roadside Assistance:
Customers renting Owasco vehicles, have 24-hour Ford and Chevrolet roadside assistance in Canada and the USA. A car rental is provided if vehicle is not repaired the following day. This service does not cover the expenses for non-mechanical difficulties such as running out of gas, cooling fluids or oil, tire and radio problems, air conditioning, losing keys, etc.


Availability:
If, for any reason, beyond our control the reserved vehicle is not available, Owasco reserves the right to substitute a vehicle of equivalent value, to refund all payments without further liabilities, or offer a higher rated vehicle at no extra cost to the renter. Any subsequent expenses (additional ferry costs, gasoline, etc.) are the renter's responsibility.

Should a lower rated vehicle be offered, Owasco's only obligation is to refund the cost difference between the two vehicles. In the event that the renter refuses to accept the vehicle offered, the renter acknowledges that all payments will be forfeited and he / she will have no further loss or damage against Owasco.
Important: Always add 2ft to any vehicle for "ferry bookings".
