Weather and seasons
When to go in Abbotsford?
Best time
May to August
May to August
highs 18 to 25 °C, lows 8 to 13 °C
The driest season in the valley: rain drops off sharply in July and August, with up to 13 hours of sunshine a day. June and July are also the time for strawberries, raspberries and blueberries sold at farms around Abbotsford. The passes on Highways 3 and 20 are clear, while in Osoyoos the summer heat is far stronger than on the coast.
April, September and October
April, September to October
highs 14 to 20 °C, lows 4 to 11 °C
In April, tulip fields bloom in the valley and campgrounds reopen; in September, it is still mild and the grape harvest begins in the Okanagan. October turns very wet again near the coast, and snow can come early to the heights of Manning Park or Mount Baker: leave some slack in your schedule.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 5 to 10 °C, lows -1 to 3 °C
The wettest period: November and December each get at least 240 mm of rain, and the cold winds blowing down the Fraser Canyon sometimes bring snow and ice to Abbotsford. A motorhome hired in winter is better suited to a short stay in the valley, around the Harrison hot springs; mountain roads require winter equipment.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Avoid rush hour on Highway 1
Between Langley and Abbotsford, the Trans-Canada Highway is often jammed in the morning towards Vancouver and in the late afternoon in the other direction, and widening works slow traffic down. Leaving the depot eastwards, towards Hope or the border, avoids these jams; towards Vancouver, allow plenty of time before a flight or a ferry.
Highway 3: snow on Allison Pass
In Manning Park, Highway 3 crosses Allison Pass, where snow can fall from October to May. Winter tyres or chains are required there during the cold season, as on the Coquihalla. Services are scarce between Hope and Princeton: fill up in Hope and check road conditions on DriveBC before setting off.
Autumn rain and closed roads
In November 2021, torrential rain flooded the Sumas Prairie, where the depot is located, and closed Highway 1, the Coquihalla and Highway 3 for several days. These "atmospheric river" events are still possible in autumn: if there is a warning, follow road closures and plan an alternative route.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Abbotsford
Where can I pick up a motorhome in Abbotsford?
The partner company, Four Seasons RV Rentals by Fraserway, hands over its vehicles at 37117 North Parallel Road, on the east side of Abbotsford, along Highway 1. The depot is outside the centre: a taxi is the easiest way to get there with your luggage. The appointment time and the final address are given in your booking confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Abbotsford?
The rate varies greatly with the season, the rental length and the size of the motorhome: summer, in high demand across Western Canada, is a different story from spring or autumn. Run a search with your dates and the vehicle you want to get the real prices, mandatory fees included, bookable straight away.
Can I do a one-way trip from Abbotsford to Calgary or the Yukon?
Calgary, 628 km as the crow flies, Edmonton, 790 km away, and Whitehorse, in the Yukon, 1,528 km away, are other departure cities of our partners. A one-way trip to the Rockies or the Far North saves you driving the same road back. Enter the return city when you search: any one-way fee is then included in the price shown.
Which motorhomes are available from Abbotsford?
The offers we found range from the Economy Van Conversion, a camper van for two, to North American Class C motorhomes: the C-Small with 3 berths, the C-Medium and C-Large with 5 berths and 6 seats, and the C-XLarge with 6 berths. The Run of Fleet C-Class is a 4-berth motorhome whose exact model is assigned by the rental company.
Can I cross into the United States at Sumas?
The Huntingdon crossing, facing Sumas in Washington State, is about fifteen minutes from the depot and often less busy than the crossings near Vancouver. First check that the offer allows travel to the United States. Each traveller shows the documents required for their nationality, and some fresh food from the fridge may be confiscated: do your shopping after the border.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Motorhome and campervan hire in Abbotsford
How do I get to the depot from the airport?
Abbotsford International Airport, south-west of the city, mainly handles domestic flights and is about twenty minutes' drive from the depot. From Vancouver airport, allow about 80 km on Highway 1, or an hour and a half depending on traffic. The simplest option is a taxi or a car with driver, booked in advance.
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in British Columbia?
A valid licence from your country is generally enough for a rental motorhome; if it is written in neither English nor French, add an International Driving Permit. Traffic drives on the right, with speeds in km/h, which switch to miles once you cross the border at Sumas. The rental company states the minimum age and years of driving experience in the offer's terms.
Where can I spend the first night near Abbotsford?
Cultus Lake Provincial Park, about half an hour east of the depot, has several lakeside campgrounds, to be booked in summer. Private RV parks also line Highway 1 towards Chilliwack. On the way back, a last night nearby saves you driving late before returning the vehicle at the agreed time.
When should I book a motorhome in Abbotsford?
For July and August, book several months ahead: it is peak season across Western Canada, and the Abbotsford International Airshow fills the city every August. The only van model on offer is often the first to go. In spring and autumn, a few weeks are usually enough, with quieter campgrounds.
What is there to see in Abbotsford before hitting the road?
Abbotsford is the farming capital of the valley: the Circle Farm Tour links farms, cheese makers and orchards open to the public, and raspberries and blueberries are sold by the roadside in summer. Mill Lake Park, near the centre, is good for a walk around the water, and Sumas Mountain offers fine views over the prairie and Mount Baker.
About us
Why start your motorhome trip in Abbotsford
Abbotsford offers a quieter start than Vancouver: the depot is already east of the big city, and the Fraser Valley, with its farms and lakes, begins within the first few kilometres. In one day's drive, you can reach the Harrison hot springs, the meadows of Manning Park or the foot of Mount Baker, on the other side of the border.
Four Seasons RV Rentals by Fraserway offers a full range here, from the camper van for two to the 6-berth motorhome. Calgary, Edmonton and Whitehorse, other departure cities of our partners, open the way to one-way trips to the Rockies or the Yukon. And from May to August, the valley enjoys its driest and sunniest season, ideal for combining Okanagan orchards, mountain lakes and the North Cascades.
