The rental company

Cruise Canada, the Canadian subsidiary of Cruise America

Cruise Canada is the Canadian counterpart of Cruise America, one of the major motorhome rental companies in North America. The same range logic and the same type of vehicle are found on both sides of the border. In Canada, the rental company operates from six cities: Vancouver, Calgary and Whitehorse in the West and the North, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax in the East.

All the vehicles recorded are overcab motorhomes with automatic transmission, designated by a code: the C18 Ultra Compact for two, the C21 Compact Plus for four, the C25 Standard for five and the C30 Large, which sleeps up to seven people.

In the Cruise Canada offers recorded by CoolDrive, mileage is never unlimited. On the other hand, the recorded excess is €317, and shoulder-season prices are very gentle.

Our verdict: a good choice for a Canadian road trip that does not break the bank outside summer, with depots from one ocean to the other and a reassuring excess. Points to watch: kilometres to pay for over long distances, depots outside the big cities, prices that soar in July and a vehicle inspection on return that may lead to cleaning charges.

Our view

Cruise Canada: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Cruise Canada is ideal if…

  • You want a modest excess in case something goes wrong
  • You can travel in April or October, when recorded prices are at their lowest
  • You are travelling as two and the small C18 is enough for you
  • You are taking a large family: the C30 has seven berths
  • You dream of the Yukon, setting off from Whitehorse
  • You prefer to discover Quebec or the Maritimes, setting off from Montreal or Halifax

Cruise Canada is not ideal if…

  • You plan to clock up thousands of kilometres: mileage is limited in all the offers recorded
  • You are looking for a campervan or a truck camper: look at Fraserway
  • You want an A-class: consider Owasco RV Centre instead
  • Your only departure window is July and your budget is tight
  • You will not have time to clean the motorhome before returning it
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Cruise Canada

  1. Count the kilometres

    None of the Cruise Canada offers recorded has unlimited mileage. Yet Canadian stages are long: Calgary, Banff, Jasper and back, with the Icefields Parkway, already represents more than 800 km. Add up your stages, keep a margin and look in the offer for the price of kilometres or packages.

  2. Make the most of the shoulder season

    In our records, the median price of a Cruise Canada overcab is around €31 per day in April and October, compared with €125 to €159 in July. Early autumn also offers the colours of the maples in the East and quieter roads in the Rockies. However, check that campgrounds and mountain roads are open.

  3. Choose the right code

    The C18 suits a couple travelling light. The C21 adds room for two children, the C25 goes up to five, and the C30 takes seven, at the cost of a size that is trickier in small towns and on mountain roads.

  4. Plan the journey to the depot

    Cruise Canada depots are away from airports and often in the suburbs: Delta for Vancouver, Bolton for Toronto, Saint-Eustache for Montreal, Upper Sackville for Halifax. Allow for a taxi and, after a transatlantic flight, a night locally before hitting the road.

  5. Return the vehicle clean and emptied

    The vehicle is inspected on return, and fees may be charged if it is returned dirty or with full tanks. Set aside an hour before heading to the depot for cleaning, emptying the waste water and filling up, and take a few photos of the interior.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Cruise Canada

How much does a Cruise Canada hire cost?

According to our prices recorded in October 2026 for 14 days, mandatory fees included, a Cruise Canada overcab starts at €23 per day. Median prices remain close to €31 to €33 in April and October, around €40 in January, but reach €125 for the C18 and €159 for the large models in July. Kilometres come on top.

What is the link between Cruise Canada and Cruise America?

Cruise Canada is the Canadian branch of Cruise America. The models carry the same codes, from the C18 to the C30, but each brand has its own network: six cities in Canada, more than thirty in the United States. For a trip from one country to the other, check in the offer whether crossing the border and returning in the other country are accepted.

Is mileage unlimited with Cruise Canada?

No: in all the Cruise Canada offers recorded by CoolDrive, mileage is limited. Extra kilometres and any packages are detailed in each offer. In such a vast country, estimate your route carefully: a crossing of the Rockies or a loop around the Gaspé Peninsula quickly drives up the odometer.

Which Cruise Canada overcab should I choose?

For two, the C18 Ultra Compact remains the easiest to drive and park. A family of four will be better off in the C21 Compact Plus, a family of five in the C25 Standard. The C30 Large, with seven berths, suits large groups prepared to manoeuvre a longer vehicle.

Where are the Cruise Canada depots?

The rental company has six depots: Delta, south of Vancouver, north-east Calgary, Whitehorse in the Yukon, Bolton north of Toronto, Saint-Eustache north-west of Montreal and Upper Sackville near Halifax. None is at an airport: plan a taxi transfer from your hotel or your terminal.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Cruise Canada RV hire in Canada

Why book Cruise Canada with CoolDrive?

CoolDrive puts Cruise Canada up against Fraserway, Four Seasons or Owasco RV Centre in a single search, with rates in euros that include mandatory fees. You can see the excess, the model and the mileage rules before paying, and a team of experts remains reachable to prepare your route or sort out any unexpected problem on the spot.

What is the excess with Cruise Canada?

All the Cruise Canada offers recorded in October 2026 state an excess of €317, whatever the model. A security deposit is generally requested on a credit card at departure: its amount is given in the offer details.

Can I return the motorhome in another city?

A one-way hire between two depots, for example from Vancouver to Calgary or from Toronto to Montreal, is never guaranteed: it all depends on the route and the season. To find out, choose a different return city when you search: only compatible offers appear, with their fees. Failing that, plan a loop.

What happens when I return the motorhome?

The depot inspects the vehicle on its return. If it is judged dirty, if the waste water tanks have not been emptied or if the tank has not been filled up, fees may be added. Keep time for cleaning and emptying, and photograph the interior and exterior to avoid any dispute.

Do I need a special licence to drive a Cruise Canada motorhome?

In general, a valid car licence is enough for these automatic overcabs. An international driving permit may be required or recommended depending on your country. The driver's minimum age and any young driver fees are stated in each offer: check them before confirming your booking.

When should I travel with Cruise Canada?

July and August offer the longest days, but also recorded prices four to five times higher than in the shoulder season. May, June and September are good compromises for the Rockies and the Yukon. The winter months remain difficult in a motorhome in most regions: find out about the weather and which campgrounds are open.
